Capítulo 295: I Don’t Do “Rotten”

As Kathleen walked away with Jason, Linda saw the Mayor standing not too far away from her and her eyes lit up with hope like someone who had just seen her life saver.

She rose to her feet and as she approached him, the Mayor stretched out his hand and made an abrupt stopping sign, causing Linda to stop in her tracks.

"I'm sure you hate me by now too but…"

"I don't need your explanations," interjected the Mayor.

"But…"

"What do you want to say? That you thought I loved you and that would make me believe whatever explanations you want to give for your shameful acts?" sneered the Mayor. "Did I ever tell you that I loved you?"

Linda bowed her head in shame as a stark realization hit her. He had never told her that he loved her, nor had he used the most common term "like" to describe what he felt for her, rather she was the one that always thought so from his constant compliments and the care he gave her.
