Alyssa couldn’t understand Winston’s persistence. She wondered why she couldn’t have a say in the


    matter.


    “I’m in a meeting, Winston. We can chit-chat in private, not here,” she grunted lowly.


    “Chit-chat? Your marriage is no me re chit-chat!”Winston snorted.”If you want tobe KS Group’s


    CEO, then you have to attend this!”


    Alyssa cursed silently at Winston. She couldn’t help but wonder if Jasper had put him up to this.


    “Alright, fine! But not today. I’m in ameeting now!”Alyssa sighed. She was taking things slow now, never


    taking more than she could chew.


    “Hmph. Alright. You can’t refuse forever.”


    Alyssa scowled, thinking to herself, “Try


    harder, old man!”


    The rest of the meeting went by awkwardly, with the team members fearful of upsetting Alyss a and


    getting into trouble.


    Afterward, Alyssa returned to her office andy back on her sofa, resembling a robot that had run out of


    battery-utterly motionless.


    Sean came into the room with coffee, asking, “Is something wrong with the project, Ms. Alyssa?”


    “That heartless old man,” Alyssined, gazing up at the ceiling. “I helped him spearhead this


    hotel to sess and even got thepany the Verdane Valley project.


    “It’s fine if he doesn’t thank me, but he’sstill trying to screw me over with blind dating? Maybe I should


    have be a secret agent like Axel!”


    “I know you care about him the most, Ms.


    Alyssa. You know Mr. Winston is getting older. He will have to pass the mantle on soon. You’ll surely


    stick around to care for your family, this business, and him, of course.”Sean beamed at her, sitting


    down beside her.


    Then, he continued, “Plus, you’re still needed in KS Group. We have countless rivals, both hidden and


    visible.


    “And sometimes, there’s conflict withinthepany itself. I’ve watched Mr. Winston take everything on,


    and honestly, he can be under immense pressure at times. But I know he’s only doing his best in his


    position as President and to support this family.”


    “I know,”Alyssa sighed. She then kickedher heels off.


    Sean swallowed lightly, then ced her feet in hisp before covering them up with a throw. He then


    started massaging them.


    Besides his mother, Alyss a was the only other woman he’d done this for.


    “That’s why I want to take over and letJonah step away from this once and for all. I know I have what it


    takes.”


    Not only did she have what it takes, but she was also very persistent and adamant about seeding.


    If it weren’t for her wasting her time with Jasper, she could have propelled KS Group to even greater


    sess than it currently enjoys.


    She silently cursed at Jasper.


    “Maybe it will be good to go on this date,Ms. Alyssa. You could make a new friend. It’s not like Mr.


    Winston wants you to marry your date. He’s just very concerned about you,”Sean said, though he


    couldn’t help but feel envious.


    Yet he had long epted how non-existent his chance with Alyss a was. She


    was an unreachable blossom above the highest mountain peaks, not meant for someone as minuscule


    as himself.


    “You have a point. It’s just a blind date. Itcan’t be worse than war!” Alyssa grinned, wriggling her feet


    underneath the throw. Sean shivered slightly, keeping out of her way.”I have just the n.”


    “What is it, Ms. Alyssa?”


    Alyssa stood up straight, walking barefoot to her desk.


    Not wanting her feet to get cold, Sean ran over with her heels and quickly knelt by her feet. “Please put


    these on, Ms. Alyssa.”


    Alyssa let him help her put the heels on, then leaned against her desk to start writing some of her ns


    down. A list soon came into existence.


    “Here, pre pare everything ording tothis list.”She handed it to Sean, who took it with a confused


    look. When he read through the paper, heughed.


    “You’re having too much fun, Ms. Alyssa.”N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
