Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 321
Alyssa stared at him blankly. “W-Why are you here?”
Sean felt his heart sink when Jameson showed up out of nowhere once more. He curled his fists.
“I was told that this is your private elevator. So I waited for you here.” He smiled softly and changed the topic.
“I’m not talking about the elevator. I’m asking you, why did you come for me?” She frowned.
“My dad is visiting Uncle Winston tonight, and I heard you were heading back to Belbanks,” he replied with a calm smile. “That’s
why I’m here to offer you a ride. Let’s go to Belbanks.”
She pursed her lips, plagued by doubts. There was nothing wrong with Jameson’s remark, but it sounded somewhat off.
“Thank you for stopping by, but Jonah has already agreed to pick me up. He should be here any minute now. I’ll be heading
home with him,” she said, offering a polite smile. “I’ll see you at Heightsnew Villa.”
“I’ve actually informed Jonah about my intention to give you a ride, and he has agreed to it. So, he won’t be coming,” Jameson
replied, appearing unfazed.
“What?” Alyssa widened her eyes, feeling distressed.
“We’ve been childhood friends and family friends for so long. Uncle Winston is practically like a brother to my dad. Jonah isn’t
worried about me. It’s not like I’ll abduct you.” Jameson reassured her.
Deep down, he so wished to abduct her, turning her into a cherished treasure.
“Well... Fine. Sorry for the trouble,” Alyssa replied politely, intent on maintaining clear boundaries within their relationship.
Internally, she couldn’t help but grumble about Jonah. He had been so protective, yet he seemingly pushed her into Jameson’s
arms without much consideration.
Was Jonah mimicking Winston, trying to marry her off?
That was rash of him. What if Jameson was a pervert?
Sighing, Alyssa chastised herself for her thoughts about Jameson after all he did to save her life.

“It’s not a problem. I always have time for you.” Jameson grinned.
She was used to his flirtatious remarks and left the lobby with him without much thought.

“Ms. Alyssa!” Sean bitterly stopped her. She stopped in her tracks, and Jameson followed suit.
Confused, she asked, “What’s wrong, Sean?”
Jameson adjusted his glasses, fixing a piercing gaze on Sean, who winced under the scrutiny. Sean
tensed up and stammered, “Ms. Alyssa, I-”
“Oh, I nearly forgot,” she interjected with a smile. “You don’t need to accompany us. You can sign off now.
I imagine you’ve been quite exhausted lately. Take the night to rest.”
With that, they left him.
Sean’s shoulders drooped at the thought of Jameson’s silent but threatening look. He felt a chill down his
spine.
Alyssa and Jameson attracted the employees’ attention when they walked down the hotel lobby.
“Wow, look! It’s Ms. Alyssa’s new pet! Finally, a guy who isn’t Sean!”
“Oh, you’re right! He’s damn hot too! Sean’s defeated!”
“Sean has his own unique style, you know? The new companion has a vampiric vibe, while Sean is more
of a sunshine type. It’s like comparing apples and oranges!”
“I vote for Sean!”
“One vote for the hot vampire!”
“That’s juvenile. I’d just do both.”

Jameson’s private car had been waiting patiently at the entrance for some time. Carl opened the car
door, and Alyssa was about to step in when Jameson gently held her arm.
“Ms. Taylor.”
“What’s the matter?” She was surprised.
He smiled affectionately and attempted to remove the lipstick smudge with a white handkerchief.
This time, she refused to let him take charge. Her eyes gleaming, she took the handkerchief from him. “I
can handle it myself.”
He was momentarily taken aback but responded with a wordless smile. The Bentley rolled away from the
entrance of KS World Hotel.
