A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 577:

The waitress was a sister in her thirties.

She had seen it all.

Affairs, one-night stands too.

Of course, she'd seen a man dealing with two women as well.

But it was the first time she saw Dirk Carter bringing two women along at the same time.

What's more, the two women were practically glued to Dirk, boasting to each other who was sticking closer.

Swallowed hard.

Asked, "Would it be a king-size bed or a standard room?"

"King-size bed!"

Yvonne Donovan and Nora Hughes shouted out simultaneously.

And they exchanged defiant and provocative glances.

Dirk Carter looked helpless and said, "Alright, king-size bed then."

The waitress clumsily registered the three's IDs and pushed over the room card.

Just as Dirk Carter was being pulled upstairs by the two, suddenly a familiar face walked out of the elevator.

Dirk Carter stiffened.

Quickly shook off the two women by his side.

It was too late to dodge.

The middle-aged man saw Dirk Carter and ran forward respectfully, saying, "Hello, Executive Carter."

The middle-aged man in front was named Lincoln Griffin.

He held the position of a member of the Koryn City Committee and Deputy Mayor.

In Koryn City, aside from Mayor Elliot Douglas and Executive Vice Mayor Dirk Carter, there were 6 other Deputy Mayors and 2 part-time Deputy Mayors.

Lincoln Griffin ranked third in the Koryn City Government, right after Dirk Carter, primarily responsible for agriculture, rural areas, rural revitalization, water conservancy, cultural tourism, radio and television, sports, modern agricultural industrial park, and environmental protection work.

He oversaw the Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Bureau of Water Resources, Bureau of Culture, Sports, Broadcasting, and Tourism, Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Furthermore, he also handled the ideological work.

In the Koryn City Government, he was considered an old hand.

Before Dirk Carter came.

Lincoln Griffin had been part of Cornell Morgan's faction.

After Cornell Morgan encountered trouble.

Lincoln Griffin maintained close contact with Wade Quincy, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee.

Now, Wade Quincy was also implicated because of Teresa Thorne's case, meaning all of Lincoln Griffin's ties in Koryn City were severed by Dirk Carter.

Though he didn't have much goodwill towards Dirk Carter.

But Dirk Carter was indeed the Executive Vice Mayor, face had to be given.

"Mayor Griffin, what brings you here?"

Dirk Carter asked.

A trace of panic flashed across Lincoln Griffin's face.

Just when he was about to explain, the elevator doors opened again and Elton Hall, Director of Koryn City's Environmental Protection Bureau, walked out with disheveled clothes.

His clothes were disheveled, not in that way.

But rather, his sleeves were rolled up.

His clothes looked rumpled too.

He also saw Dirk Carter at a glance, froze for a moment, and didn't get a chance to greet him.

Then a middle-aged man staggered and rushed out of the elevator, and with a comedic stumble, fell to the ground.

Dirk Carter looked closely.

The man seemed to be in his forties.

His hair was messy, and his jacket seemed ripped.

Beside his eyes, some bruises could be seen, he must have been hit.

Below his nose, there seemed to be traces of blood.

"You scumbag, you like to play, huh? I'm gonna play with you till you're dead!"

Following him.

Another man with rolled-up sleeves walked out.

Dirk Carter also knew this person, it was Zachariah Lynch, Deputy Director of Koryn City's Environmental Protection Bureau, and Captain of the Comprehensive Enforcement Brigade.

Behind him, several uniformed members of the enforcement brigade followed.

They looked fierce, but upon seeing Dirk Carter, quickly restrained themselves.

In a moment, they seemed at a loss.

"What's going on here?"

Dirk Carter asked sternly.

Elton Hall and Zachariah Lynch were a bit nervous.

Lincoln Griffin hurriedly said, "The Apex Group electroplating factory manager has been discharging large amounts of sewage into Clear-sky Lake, the Environmental Protection Bureau has been looking for him for months, found him hiding in this hotel, and during the arrest, he resisted and retaliated, Lynch just lost his temper and cursed a bit."

"Yes, yes, Executive Carter, this guy is very cunning, just now he was still holding a dagger and attacked our team members."

Zachariah Lynch nodded repeatedly.

The middle-aged man on the ground, after falling, didn't get up again.

However, he wasn't unconscious, but his eyes were filled with despair.

Since it was Lincoln Griffin's responsibility.

It was difficult for him to intervene in everything.

Sternly said, "No matter what, pay attention to your enforcement attitude, alright, you can take him away."

"Yes, yes!"

Zachariah Lynch nodded and bowed repeatedly.

With a wave of his hand.

The middle-aged man on the ground was picked up by several enforcement team members.

Dragged out of the hotel lobby.

"Executive Carter, I won't disturb you then."

Lincoln Griffin looked complexly at the two beauties behind Dirk Carter.

Perhaps it was misunderstood.

Dirk Carter wanted to explain but felt it unnecessary.

After nodding.

Lincoln Griffin left with Elton Hall and others.

Once those people left the hotel lobby.

Dirk Carter turned to the waitress who was shrinking in the corner and asked, "Excuse me, can you tell me the name of the person who was just taken away?"

The waitress saw how respectful those people were to Dirk Carter just now.

Knew he wasn't a minor character.

Quickly checked in the computer and said, "His name is Conrad Sinclair."

"When did he check in?"

Dirk Carter asked.

The waitress checked again and said, "Checked in yesterday afternoon."

Yesterday afternoon?

Just now Zachariah Lynch clearly said they've been looking for months.

Although he felt suspicious.

He didn't take it too seriously.

Turned to Yvonne Donovan and Nora Hughes and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to your room."

It was, after all, an economy hotel.

The king-size bed room wasn't very large.

Clearly, Yvonne Donovan and Nora Hughes were quite disappointed with such a room.

"You've seen the room, there's only one big bed, either you two sleep together, or you get another room, you decide."

Dirk Carter said.

"What about you?"

The two asked Dirk Carter as if they had agreed.

Dirk Carter scratched his head, saying, "I'm going home to sleep."

"Then I'll go with you!"

Yvonne Donovan glared at Nora Hughes, held onto Dirk Carter's arm and said.

Nora Hughes didn't back down.

Also quickly grabbed onto Dirk Carter, saying, "I'm going back with you to sleep too."

"Two ladies, my place is the City Committee dorm, if you both come with me, it'll be the death of me?"

"I don't care, we've already slept together once, I'm going to sleep with you."

Yvonne Donovan raised her head, looking defiantly at Nora Hughes.

Nora Hughes snorted coldly and said, "We've been intimate in the airport restroom before, I don't mind sleeping with you."

This situation gave Dirk Carter a headache.

Gritting his teeth, he decided to solve this issue once and for all.

Asked, "Are you two sure you want to share a bed with me tonight?"
