Peggy tilted the computer over and pointed at the person in the photo. “This is Daniel. He’s about to be promoted. So far, he hasn’t responded to the rumors outside. If we can interview him, the sales of this issue will definitely break through.”
In front of the desk, Elaine and his colleague Horacio stood side by side. The two of them glanced at the photo on the computer.
Horacio scratched his head and said, “Chief Editor, you’re not asking us to interview him, are you?”
Peggy nodded. “Yes, it’s the two of you.”
Elaine was in a difficult position. She was in the editorial department and was not part of the interview department at all. It was almost impossible for an inexperienced and unconnected person like her to interview the mayor. She might not even be able to see him. She and Horacio looked at each other. They could see in each other’s eyes that the task was difficult.
Horacio said worriedly, “What if Daniel doesn’t see us?”
The Daniel was rarely interviewed, and very few interviews have been

given since he became mayor.
People in politics were extremely cautious. The higher the screen time, the more they would expose themselves in front of the public. If they were caught red–handed, they would be sentenced to jail.
Peggy suggested, “So you guys are going to camp.”
They were not paparazzi!The two of them had bitter expressions.
Peggy looked at their gloomy faces and sighed helplessly. “You also know that our magazine has been in a bad situation recently. The number of bestsellers last month was only half of last month’s. If this continues, the magazine will have to close at the end of the year.”
Elaine and Horacio walked out of the editor–in–chief’s office with sad faces. The two of them huddled together and stared at each other, wondering how to approach Daniel and get him to agree to the interview.
The two of them first investigated Daniel’s daily schedule. After two days of investigation, Horacio made a schedule for the past half a month.
Elaine looked at the printed itinerary for a long time with a bitter expression.
Daniel’s schedule was almost irregular. He did not even have the

chance to wait. If he went to interview directly, he would definitely be chased out. She thought of Daniel’s son, Loyd. She wondered if she could find a breakthrough from him, but when she thought of Loyd’s roguish appearance, she felt uncomfortable.
When it was time to get off work, everyone had left. She and Horacio were still in the office. They had two large schedules and were at their wits‘ end.
She asked, “How did you act when you interviewed those business. elites in the past?”
Horacio stretched out his legs and leaned against the back of the chair. He looked up at the ceiling and looked like he had nothing to live for. “Anyway, it’s not that troublesome.”
ME Magazine was a financial magazine and was quite famous in A City. Some people in the business world did not deliberately make things difficult for them and were very willing to cooperate.
Elaine thought for a moment and said, “Daniel has a son called Loyd. Perhaps he can give us some information. “Horacio slapped his thigh and suddenly sat up. “That’s right. If I can’t do it, I’ll start with my son. I heard that Loyd likes to play with women. I don’t believe that we won’t be able to find Daniel’s whereabouts if we find seventeen or eighteen women in the nightclub.”
This move was really despicable. However, she did not feel that there was anything wrong with using it on Loyd.

“But…” He scratched his head, his tone slow and slightly conflicted.
Seeing his troubled expression, Elaine asked, “But what?”
“I don’t know if the magazine will reimburse me.”
Elaine “…”

When they found Loyd, he was playing car sex with a woman.
Elaine and Horacio each carried a bottle of mineral water and hid behind a green tree by the roadside. They were prepared to pretend to meet after they were done.
This road was a little remote and very few passers–by passed by. Coupled with the fact that it was already late, no one noticed this strange scene.
Half an hour later, the two people in the car seemed to be still going on. Horacio gradually lost his patience and complained softly, “Why isn’t it over yet?”
Elaine finished the water in the bottle and threw the empty bottle into the trash can beside him. “Why don’t you go up and rush him?”

Horacio chuckled. “Go if you dare. “The two of them waited for a while more before a woman in a black hip–hugging skirt got out of the car. She seemed to be cursing as she walked. It looked like the two of them had had an argument.
After the woman left, Loyd drove away. Elaine and Horacio walked out from the shadows. Not far away was the taxi they had taken to follow Loyd.
Horacio waved his hand and the driver drove the car over. The two of them got into the car. Elaine said to the driver, “Follow the car in front.”
The driver looked at the two of them through the rearview mirror with a strange expression and followed closely behind.
Loyd’s car stopped outside a large supermarket. The person who got out of the car was not Loyd, but an unfamiliar man.
As soon as the taxi stopped, Elaine pushed the door open and got out of the car. She rushed up and looked into the car through the window. There was no one inside. Horacio paid the fare and approached her. When he saw the man in the checkered shirt enter the supermarket, he hurriedly asked, “Why didn’t you follow him in? Or stop him?”
“He’s not Loyd.” Although she had only seen Loyd once, she could not mistake him. The man in the plaid shirt was not Loyd.
“Huh?” Horacio was shocked. “How is that possible? It’s clearly a Loyd

car. The license plate number can’t be wrong.”
Elaine gritted her teeth in anger. After feeding the mosquito for more than an hour, she glared at Horacio resentfully. “It’s also possible that Loyd lent his car to someone else.”
The man in the checkered shirt was obviously from the same group as Loyd. It was very likely that he was his scoundrel friend.
Horacio sighed. “Then we’ve wasted our effort tonight. “Elaine kicked his calf angrily. “It’s all your fault.‘
Her kick was not light. Horacio cried out in pain. Then, he said with a cheeky smile, “Actually, I didn’t work for nothing. At least I watched a free sex scene.”
“Horacio!” Elaine glared at him angrily. He raised his leg and kicked again. Horacio was already prepared. He quickly jumped to the side and dodged the bullet.
The next day, Elaine found out that Loyd would go to Golden Bay Entertainment Club every night. After work that day, she and Horacio arrived at the club early. They ordered some drinks and booked a private room.
Horacio sat on the sofa and bit his nails. He wondered if the magazine would reimburse him for tonight’s bill.

Someone knocked on the door of the private room. Elaine called out softly, “Come in.” A waiter brought in the drinks they had ordered. She pretended to ask the waiter casually, “I heard that Loyd often comes to the club?”
The waiter was placing drinks on the table. When he heard her question, he smiled and said, “Mr. Gomez is a regular customer of our club.”
