Chapter 41 The Fingering 

The noble men were all wondering why Broderick had called on this meeting earlier than they had planned. Amy walked inside with a file in her hand all of a sudden and greeted everyone seated briefly with a slight bow of her head and then walked towards the secretary’s seat. When the mayor of the city saw her, that was her father, he frowned and wondered what she was doing here. He was even angrier cause Amy greeted him casually as if he didn’t know her. Just when Amy was about to sit, Her father, Carlton spoke,” are you the secretary?” Amy smiled, “Yes, mayor. I am the secretary to Mr. Broderick Alessandro.”

Everyone in the city knows that Joan Ansel was the secretary to Broderick, they were all surprised to find out that it was an unknown woman who was now Broderick’s secretary. Not many people know Amy eventhough she was the daughter of the mayor. She left home before her father could identify himself with her before the world. Everyone only knows Martha, his mistress’s daughter as his daughter. She couldn’t even regard her as a father? Carlton thought angrily. Well, he didn’t want to identify himself with an illegitimate daughter either. “I see…” Carlton said angrily.

Amy then sat calmly, someone began to rumour amidst themselves on how very beautiful she was. “I hope you don’t dissapoint Mr. Broderick.” Carlton suddenly said. “That’s for him to worry about,” Amy replied angrily. This man slapped her yesterday and he still had the gut to be challenging her publicly here. “You don’t have to be rude. I need to remind you that I’m the mayor of this City,” Carlton said. He was angry but he didn’t want to act in such a way that can jeopardize his reputation. “Oh! I only respect Mayors who don’t keep mistresses and abandon their own daughter,” Amy said. Since he was trying to ridicule her here, then she would give him back to back too. “Oh! So the woman living with the mayor is his mistress?” someone said. “We all guessed as much cause there were rumours that the mayor’s wife died many years back but no one beleived it.” “If the Mayor let’s his mistress live with him, them how shameful he is.”

“He sure does not deserve to be a mayor.”

The hall became very quiet that even if a pin drops, anyone would hear. He sat majestically at the center seat and everyone immediately greeted him including the mayor of NorthHill, Carlton Owen. “Mr. Broderick Alessandro, before we commence this meeting, I’ll like to report this woman here to you, your

He knew for sure that he was her father eventhough others didn’t. “I don’t know her, Mr. Broderick Alessandro. Please fire her, for the sake of your reputation,” Carlton said. Broderick turned to look at Amy who had a straight gaze on, she didn’t express fear at all. Broderick then looked at everyone,” let’s commence the meeting.” Carlton almost went crazy, so everything he said was just ignored like it was nothing. Although he knew that the duo were married but he knew for sure that there
