Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 340
Three days later, Ada Kingsley arrived in Solana City with her team of people.
Unfortunately, Sean got wind from her manager that they had chosen to attend the Beckett Group’s welcoming party instead of
theirs.
When Sean furiously ran to share this news with Alyssa, she was in the midst of playing pool with Cyrus.
“Ms. Alyssa!” Sean cried.
“Shh! I’m about to win.” Alyssa hushed. This one strike would determine how luxurious a dinner she was going to have tonight.
Sean had no choice but to fidget nervously while waiting for Alyssa’s game with her brother to end. He couldn’t interrupt her
while she was so focused.
The final two pool balls were knocked into each other and rolled slowly into adjacent pockets.
“Yes!” Alyssa cried excitedly.
Cyrus chuckled, entirely unbothered by the fact he had lost to her. “You’re getting really good at this.”
Alyssa leaned against her cue stick, sticking her tongue out. “You were a good teacher, after all.”
A shoulder strap on her wine-red spaghetti-strap dress had slipped while she was playing earlier. The sight made Sean swallow
tensely, eyes flitting to and away from her shoulder.
Cyrus noticed this and instantly approached Alyssa to tug the strap back in place. “Careful. You have to
watch out around outsiders.”
He then shot Sean a dark look, culminating his years and years of experience as a police officer to become one of pure
contempt and warning that was enough to make Sean look away, embarrassed.
“I know, Cyrus. Sean isn’t just anyone. Plus, it’s not like anything was actually revealed. Don’t worry,” Alyssa said.
Cyrus cocked an eyebrow, successfully won over by her honey-sweet tone.

“What is it, Sean?” Alyssa asked, finally turning to Sean. She sipped on a glass of red wine, leaning against
the pool table.
“Ms Alyssa, Ada Kingsley is attending the Berenike Hotel’s welcoming party. She has stood us up!”
“Good.” Alyssa swallowed her wine.

“Good? Jasper is about to flip our entire evening upside down. How is that good?” Sean cried.
“Let me guess. The Berenike Hotel will flood the internet with posters and advertisements within the next three days, capitalizing
on Ada’s arrival to lure customers and enhance its reputation.
“This move will cement the Berenike Hotel’s position as one of Solana City’s top destinations for international celebrities and
high-profile figures,” Alyssa said, swirling her wine.
“That’s why this is a great loss KS World Hotel is suffering from!”
“How boring,” Alyssa murmured. “I, on the other hand, like winning with all the odds against me. Now, that is exciting.”
Sean swallowed nervously, finding her alarmingly attractive as usual.
Cyrus asked, “What devious plan do you have in mind, little sister?”
Alyssa grinned. “Have the chefs start preparing dinner for the party, Sean.”
“Dinner? But our guest of honor isn’t even going to be here. Why waste the time and ingredients?” Sean
was sure they had lost to the Beckett Group by now.
But Alyssa only responded slyly, “It’s not a waste yet. Tonight’s victor remains undecided.”
Xavier was silently waiting outside KS World Hotel in a black Porsche, ready to report any hint of activities on Alyssa’s end to
Jasper. He nearly fell asleep when Sean finally exited the building, looking

upset.
Having suffered a lot lately while serving his boss, Xavier felt quite relieved to see Sean just as mopey as he felt inside. It
seemed like they had discovered that Ada wasn’t attending their party.
“Yes!” Xavier cheered internally.
A minute or so later, Alyssa came out to the hotel entrance.
But who was that behind her?
Xavier used his binoculars to get a good look. It was another man!
“I know this really good Tenggrian place.” Cyrus hooked an arm around his sister’s. “Let’s go.”
“Really? I want fried pig’s brains, beetle grubs, and sheep’s intestines!” Alyssa smacked her lips.
“Damn, when did your taste get so peculiar?”

“One has to partake in the finer, stranger things in life, after all!”
“Whatever you say. Drinks on me!” The siblings got into the car, chattering merrily.
Xavier slowly put down the binoculars, trembling anxiously..
He muttered to himself, “Shit!”
He quickly snapped some pictures and then sent them to Jasper.
“Bad news, Sir! Madam... Madam seems to have a new male companion!”
