Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 103
At the same time, the mood was tense in the general manager’s office at KS Grand Hotel.
Alyssa stood before the floor–to–ceiling window with her hands on her back. Her sleek figure. exuded an air of power and
dominance.
“Has anyone ever asked you to upload that video?”
“You wanted me to upload something that would spark controversy...” Sean stood behind her with
a straight back and a glum face.
“Sean, you are my secretary. Not only that, we grew up together. You should have known my pet
peeve!” She turned around. “You mix your personal agenda while working for me. I know what’s
going on. You wanted to boost my perception online–using my kindness to further highlight
Betty’s wrongdoing.”
The more she spoke, the more he lowered his head because each word went straight to his heart.
“But I’m telling you now. I don’t need it.” Her look grew icier. “I lent a helping hand because I
could. It was out of moral value. No matter how much I hate Betty, I wouldn’t attack her by claiming the moral high ground. An act
of kindness will lose its meaning when it attracts attention and judgment.”
“Ms. Alyssa, it’s my fault. I thought that.”
“It’s useless to explain yourself now.” She grabbed her phone with an expressionless face. “I’m
calling Jonah to take you back. I don’t vibe with your working style.”
“No! Ms. Alyssa!” All colors drained from Sean’s face as he grasped her wrist. “Please, punish me
as you wish! I can clean the toilets at the hotel or wash dishes in the kitchen! What about
deducting my pay?”

He pleaded, “I only have one wish–please let me stay by you.”
Frowning, she felt the pain in her wrist from his strong grasp. The passion in his eyes came as a
shock to her.
Sean came from a family of attorneys. His father was a judge, and his mother was a famous
attorney. His two older brothers held important jobs in the judiciary.
The Lynch family might not be of wealth, but they were respectable in Belbanks. As the youngest,
Sean received an excellent education and grew up well–loved.
However, he was willing to humble himself for her and the Taylor Group. He could have had a brighter future, but he would rather
serve as her secretary.

At the thought, she was touched and sighed. “This is your last chance. I won’t go easy on you if
you ever do it again.”
“Thank you! Thank you, Ms. Alyssa! I will not act on my own anymore!” His eyes glistened with
tears of joy.
“Tsk! Look where your hand’s going.” She looked down and smirked. He realized that he was holding her wrist. Heart pumping
wildly, he withdrew his hand as he blushed. Her scent seemed
to linger in his palm.
“Um, Ms. Alyssa, how about your trending topic...”
“I’ll tell Axel to deal with that. Come with me.” She tapped on the blazer hanging on the clothes
stand. He got the hint and helped put the blazer on her.
“Let’s meet with Betty Beckett.”

Betty was distressed when she learned that she trended online again.
“Mom! What do I do?” Fuming, she called up Sophia Kirkman to complain about it. “I’m trending
online for once, only to have that country bumpkin haunt me! She’s deliberately making trouble!
