Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 364
Being a Mosgravian, Ada had never eaten such a variety of dishes, so she naturally dug in with gusto.
Alyssa and Sean kept her company, the former chatting merrily with Ada as she ate but never once bringing up anything about
her marriage with Jasper nor insulting the Beckett Group.
They talked about everything from their hobbies to Ada’s career to jewelry.
When dinner was over, Alyssa and Sean escorted Ada down to the parking lot.
“Thank you for the delicious meal, Ms. Alyssa. It was quite amazing. I’m particularly fond of that flaky pastry filled with pistachio.
Your hotel’s chefs are every bit as skilled as you say they are!”
“That’s a pistachio and chocolate cream baklava. I can have a box or two of those sent to you before you leave for Mosgravia.
One for you and one for your mother,” Alyssa offered kindly.
“Madam Ada, most of the dishes tonight are actually cooked by Ms. Alyssa here, including the pastry you just ate,” Sean said
excitedly.
“Truly? Did you really make that wonderful dessert?” Ada exclaimed in awe.
It was difficult to believe that a powerful businesswoman like Alyssa was so skilled in the kitchen, too.
What a well-rounded individual.
Clearly, she respected Ada as well, having personally cooked for her.
“Yes, but I’m sure it could have been better.” Alyssa nodded humbly.
Ada was silent for a moment as she did some thinking.
“Did you bring the contract, Ms. Alyssa?”
Alyssa was taken aback. “Do you mean ...?”
“I’d like to entrust my wedding to you and KS World Hotel. If you don’t mind, I can sign the agreement right away.”

Alyssa nearly buzzed with glee. Her expression remained calm, but her heart started pounding excitedly.
in her chest.
Sean was just as excited. He swiftly rummaged in his office bag. “Of course, yes, it’s right here!”
“Madam Ada,” Alyssa began, “You requested both KS Group and Beckett Group to acquire a jewelry designer who could create
a one-of-a-kind piece for you for your wedding..
“As of now, I am yet to be able to fulfill said request. If I may ask, why would you like us to organize your wedding?”
Sean peered closely to listen in as well.
Ada appeared guilty for a moment. “Honestly, I was never serious about having either of you host my wedding. I’d never been to
Solana City; having the wedding here was just to fulfill my mother’s wishes.
“Even earlier tonight, when I accepted Mr. Jasper’s invitation, I had only done so to have some entertainment for my night. It was
never an expression of any decision I’d made.
“I am sorry for my presumptions and my pride. I shouldn’t have underestimated you two. Only now do I understand why you and
Mr. Jasper are so well-known in the city. You two are truly devoted to your hotel, and it would be an honor to have either of you
host my wedding.”
“But why choose us instead?”
“Truthfully, I didn’t make my choice when you gifted me with ‘Ragnarok.’ It was because of your cooking tonight that changed my
mind. There is a passionate devotion that you put into the food.
“I could taste it, just as much as I can see how much heart Alexa puts into crafting her jewelry. This devotion is why I choose to
work with KS World Hotel,” Ada said with every ounce of honesty in her being.
Alyssa now understood, but she was still in shock at Ada’s decision.
It looked like those years of learning how to cook actually served a purpose!
The two women sat in Ada’s car, where Sean placed two identical contracts before them.

Before signing, Ada paused for a moment. “Is it alright if we add another clause in the contract, Ms. Alyssa?”
“Of course.”
“I would like any and all plans for my wedding to be kept locked silent and shut away from the public media. I want to surprise my
fans and mother when the time comes.”
“Go ahead. We will fulfill our side of the contract to your maximum satisfaction,” Alyssa reassured.
They then signed the agreement while Sean watched on happily.
“Happy working together, Ms. Alyssa.” Ada beamed, extending her hand out to Alyssa.
Alyssa reached out to shake the proffered hand. “Happy working, Madam Ada.”
