Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Lauren watched as Landon left. She stood there until she could no longer see his
car's tail lights.
Angelina walked to her side. "Madam Lauren."
"Yes?" Lauren turned to look at her.
"Thank you for speaking up for me today. Thank you." Angelina felt a surge of
emotions. Tears welled up in her eyes.
She started working for Landon when she was young. In her youth, she worked
as his helper. She then became his secretary-cum-bodyguard when she got
older.
She was someone who received strict training. She also suffered through difficult
times. She was frigid and apathetic toward everyone other than Landon.
Unexpectedly, Lauren's appearance allowed her to feel the warmth of a family.
This was something that she had never experienced before. She was moved
beyond words.
Lauren was her employer. However, Angelina loved her like how she would a
younger sister.
"I know that you've worked hard, Angie."
Lauren held Angelina's calloused hand. Lauren's hand was warm. With a twinkle
in her eyes, she said, "You're always thinking of Landon. Even if he doesn't see
it, 1 do. These are still your kind intentions. He shouldn't let you down like that."
Angelina opened her mouth to speak but couldn't find any words to say. So, she
just held her hand tightly to express her gratitude.
It was a rare occasion that Cornelius had called for a family dinner that night. He
had invited all their family members to join. As he was the head of the family, the
others didn't dare to decline.
Even if the family members didn't get along with him, they decided to play along.
They complied albeit pretentiously.
Landon waltzed into the dining room. Cornelius, Preston, Sylvia, and Penelope
were already seated.
"Sorry, I'm late, Grandpa." Landon smiled slightly. He sat down with elegance.
It had been a while since Penelope saw Landon. Her eyes lit up with joy when
she saw him.
Landon used to be a wild child. He lived like an outlaw and was disrespectful
toward his family members. Whenever they had family dinners, he would simply
fool around.
Cornelius held a lamb feast two years ago. Landon ripped off a leg of lamb and
started gnawing on it.
He behaved just like a barbarian.
Now, he was a completely different person. He carried himself like a leader. He
resembled his father in many ways.
It was clear that he had become much more mature and stable.
"At least you made it."
Cornelius nodded toward Landon. He seemed to be in a fairly good mood. "But
you should get here earlier next time. You don't want your elders to be waiting for
you, do you? You're not going to work. You're coming over to my place. It's better
to arrive earlier."
Landon smiled. "Got it, Grandpa. I'll be more mindful next time."
"Hey, Landon is now a pillar of our family. He's a busy man."
Preston hadn't shown up in a while. He had lost while fighting for his position. He
turned green with envy when he saw Landon. He smiled superficially and said,
"He's the soon-to-be president of the Harper Group. Things are surely different
now.
"So, Dad, leave him be. Although we're his elders, we can be understanding too.
Once he's appointed, I'll need to rely on his support. Even though I'm his uncle,
he'll help to bring me honor.
"You might not know this. I met up with some friends a few days ago. They were
all asking me about Landon. They wanted to meet the future heir of the Harper
Group.
"The new really overthrows the old. It is now completely past our era.”
Cornelius was half-smiling. It was difficult to decipher what he was really feeling.
Landon looked toward Preston. He looked menacing. Landon squinted and
glared coldly at him.

Preston froze. He wanted to argue, but Landon was not going to allow him to.
He continued, "You haven't even completed your own task. Yet, you want to pull
some strings and create opportunities for them? Is it so that they can get
associated with Harper Group?
"Forgive me for being straightforward. But even vassal states during ancient
times would know how to present their yearly offerings to superior states.

statements made his blood pressure shoot through the roof.
