After Jasper left, Alyssa helped the paralyzed Sean back to her office.


    She carefullyid his trembling body on the couch, her forehead damp with sweat and her lips pressed


    together in concentration. She began examining him like a skilled physician.


    “Ms. Alyssa, I’m fine…” Sean managed to move slightly despite being paralyzed. Tears welled up in his


    eyes as he witnessed Alyssa’s genuine concern. “I’m sorry for the trouble.”


    “Don’t be ridiculous! You were trying to protect me, but you should avoid acting recklessly in the future,”


    she replied, leaning in to gently massage his legs.


    “I wasn’t being reckless.” Sean summoned all his strength to sit up on the couch. His eyes sparkled


    with determination as he swore, “If it ever happens again, I’ll still choose to protect you.”


    “Sean Lynch, you shouldn’t expose yourself to unknown dangers just because you think you have


    some


    chops.


    “You’re no match for Jasper at all! Did you think he wasted four years in military school for nothing?”


    Alyssa yelled at him out of worry.


    She added, “He went easy on you today. He might have done something far worse if you weren’t my


    employee!”


    “So what? I don’t mind risking my life.” Sean clenched his teeth, unsteadily rising to his feet and


    towering over the petite Alyssa. “Even if it came to that, I’d never let him bully you!”


    “Sean …” Her eyes widened in shock as they gazed into his misty eyes. Tears streamed down his face,


    but


    he remained unaware due to his paralysis.


    “Oh God, why are you crying again? Are you a three-year-old?” Feeling bitter, she jokingly attempted to


    wipe his tears away.


    Suddenly, he gathered his courage and pulled her into a hug, wrapping his arms around her waist. He


    pressed a hand on her back, as if he wished to be one with her.


    Her eyes wavered. She wasn’t oblivious to the feelings in his hug. She gave him a light shove and said,

    Sean, let go. We can always talk.”


    “Ms. Alyssa, I’m willing to be punished for what I did to you.” Sean’s face was tear-stained.

    point


    of madness.

    However, Alyssa wasn’t a soft-hearted woman. She firmly poked his chest with a stern look in her eyes,


    causing him to lose his bnce and slump back onto the couch.


    “Sean, I understand you didn’t have bad intentions. I won’t punish you for what happened,” she said,


    her


    expressionplex.


    With an unfeeling tone, she continued, “Starting tomorrow, take a week off and have a good rest at


    home.”


    “Ms. Alyssa…” Astonished, he felt a crippling pain rising in him.


    “You’re too tense, which exins your moodiness. Take that week to rx and manage your emotions.


    After that, think about how you n to work alongside me.”
