Reborn as the Mayor's Girlfriend

Ryzen POV

I can't believe it! Lennox Nico Zevallos actually followed me back. This is definitely a sign! Could he be attracted to Millen Yu's appearance?

I tried to talk to him through direct message in Instagram but he would only say short replies or just a thumbs up emoji... it's quite frustrating, actually. If the other person isn't interested like that through text, I can't use this strategy to become closer to him.

I sighed as I browsed through more on Instagram.

Finally, as I refreshed, I saw something interesting for once. It's a new post from Lennox!

It's a picture of him with several other people. Maybe his staff?

lennoxzevallos: Change comes with uncertainty and fear but we need change if we want to improve. Thank you to this team for volunteering and giving inspirational messages. Today, at 6 pm, we will be at the city's conventional hall to speak more about our vision. Let's work together for a #NewLaCoronCity.

6 pm at the city's conventional hall, huh? Seems good to me...

I liked the post and put down my phone straight away. I have to prepare for this!

I put on subtle make-up and wore a simple fitted shirt with high-waisted pants. Living as Millen Yu now, I've gotten used to her features. It was hard putting make-up at first because my make-up before as Ryzen Ferrada wouldn't necessarily suit Millen Yu's chinita look. I like her own unique beauty though and I am getting used to it.

I feel like slowly, as more days pass, I'm really becoming Millen Yu. I even turn my head straight away now when someone calls me "Millen", which is unlike the first days when I've been living as her. This is crazy.

I shook my heads off these thoughts and got ready to go out. I must really finish this mission before I get too comfortable with this life. This is not my life.

"Where you going, darling?" I heard someone say.

I turned around and it was my... I mean, Millen Yu's mother.

"Just going out somewhere... it's not a party, it's just some kind of forum hall." I said simply.

Katrina Yu laughed a bit before she walked towards me and patted my shoulder.

"I know. You've really changed a lot since you finished college. I'm proud of you no matter what, okay? Don't pressure yourself too much." she said.

How touching...

"Mmm..." I said simply.

She then gave me a hug and signalled me to go.

"Alright, take care now. Get at least two bodyguards for you." she said.

"Ok. Bye, mom!" I said naturally.

It's so scary how those words flew naturally from my mouth.

I gulped down deep inside as I walked out of the house. These thoughts kept me busy while in the car that I didn't even realise that we were already at La Coron City's conventional hall.

Well, if that's the case, just wow. I knew he was influential but I didn't know it was to this extent. He seems to be already loved by the people in this city.

The forum started first with someone leading a prayer then someone giving out an inspirational message.

Throughout all this, I was not bored at all. I think it's quite relevant to the topic and vision they're trying to build-up.

After a few minutes more, the main star came out.

"Good evening everyone. First of all, I'd like to thank all of you for coming here to listen to my vision about our city. I believe that what separates me the most from other politicians is my strong governance perspective." Lennox started to say in front of hundreds of people.

"This comes from four perspectives: as a non-government official, a public servant, a volunteer and from my formal education in Public Administration, which is exactly what I'm utilising right now. I believe that all of these would help us implement change to our city. But most of all, I have integrity. I think that's the most basic trait a politician should have but most politicians nowadays tend to overlook that and focus on greedier side of things." he said more.

He just started talking but I am already amazed. Just from the way he talks with his deep voice and chiselled face, I am quite fascinated. It's like I could listen for hours because everything he says is also inspirational and touching... words that really make you think and touch your heart.

Without even realising it, I got my phone and took captures of him whilst he was speaking. I also took pictures of the large crowd who was listening actively to him.

This is something very unique since all the other politicians I know even invite celebrities and performers to entertain the crowd. They even do give-aways and provide freebies to everyone without actually talking about their platforms.

What he's doing is revolutionary. Just looking at him, I believe that this Lennox Zevallos have a bright future ahead of him. The way he speaks his heart out, the way he cares for the people genuinely... I won't be surprised if he becomes a great president one day.

Before I even knew it, he said his closing remarks.

"Let us forget petty politics and work together to realise positive reforms and fulfill our dreams and visions for our La Coron City." he finally said, earning cheers and amazement from the crowd.
