Jonah and Alyssa entered her new office. When the door shut behind them, she snickered and sat on the couch. “Renee is such a bitch. She’s already giving me trouble before I officially join the company-always so impatient.”
Jonah poured her a glass of water and sighed. “She competed for stickers with you in preschool. When you were in elementary school, you competed against her for the lead role in a dance performance,
“She’s been
competing against you for her entire life, but she’s never won once. I would have given up if i were her, but I’m surprised by her persistence.
“She has been losing to me when we were young. She’d be naive to think that she could win when we are now adults,” remarked Alyssa. She took a sip of water with a glint in her eyes. “Things are different now. If she works against me, I will not hesitate to get rid of her, even if she’s family.”
“Of course, you won’t. You always retaliate against those who oppose you. I know you’re tough,” Jonah commented, sitting beside her and wrapping an arm around her shoulder.
He offered a piece of advice with concern, “Starting here, you’ll find the company is a battlefield. The challenges are tenfold compared to KS World Hotel. Be extra careful, especially around Uncle Dominic.
“He’s built a faction, and Dad goes easy on him because he’s Dad’s only brother. You need to be very
cautious dealing with Uncle Dominic.”
“Got it,” Alyssa replied with an unreadable look in her eyes. “I will treat their family well if they behave, and we’ll get along nicely. However, if they try to go against me, I will not hesitate to go hard on them and publicly humiliate him.”
Jonah squinted at her and warned, “Girl, you shouldn’t exaggerate. Remember, Uncle Dominic is the vice chairman of the company board.”
She haughtily lifted her chin and scoffed. “Hmph! My dad is the chairman! I’m not afraid of Uncle Dominic.
“By the way, have you informed Jasper about your transfer?” Jonah suddenly shifted the topic.
She blinked at him and pressed her l*ps, asking. “Why should I tell him? Why does he need to know?”
Jonah was taken aback. He then smiled wryly. “That’s true.”

At that moment, her phone rang. Her heart sank as she wondered if it was Jasper. When she checked her phone, she saw Jameson’s name on the screen.
Jonah quietly stole a glance at her screen, and a frown crept onto his face. He’d rather the caller be Jasper.
“Jimmy?” Alyssa answered the phone calmly. 1
“Lyse, I’m in Belbanks now,” Jameson said tenderly. The sound of waves crashing, unique to Belbanks,
could be heard in his background. His voice was filled with charm and passion.
He added, “I believe you must be in Belbanks as well. Do you have time to meet up?”
She checked her wristwatch, looking shocked. “Do you mean right now?”
“If you’re busy now, I can wait for you for as long as it takes.”
