Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1649

Sean nodded and took out a stack of documents from his briefcase before distributing them to thedirectors.

"A non-disclosure agreement?" The directors were shocked. Some of them felt insulted and asked,"What is the meaning of this, Ms. Alyssa? We're all close friends of your fathers and helped himbuild the company from scratch. Do you not trust us? Is this how you show your respect?”

Alyssa responded calmly, "Please don't misunderstand. I'm only doing this to protect my father, KSGroup, and all your shares as much as possible. It has nothing to do with my respect for anyone.This NDA is just a safety precaution meant to keep those who mean harm in check.

"Not only are you all my father's business partners, you're also his friends. I trust none of you woulddo something to ruin my father's reputation. This agreement is a mere backup. Otherwise, therewouldn't be a need for contracts in the business world anymore, don't you agree?”

Alyssa had already spoken in a gracious and respectful enough manner. There was no reason for thedirectors not to sign the NDA unless they truly were the people who "meant to harm" as Alyssa hadput it.

Soon, all agreements were signed.

Sean's brows furrowed before he whispered in Alyssa's ear, "Ms. Alyssa, Dominic Taylor isn't here.""I know. Don't worry, we'll talk about him in a bit," Alyssa said, gaze sullen.

After collecting all the NDAs, the directors got up and left, no longer having the patience to speakto Alyssa any further.

"Since all of you have signed the agreement, let me remind you..." Alyssa swiveled in her chair, backfacing the directors as she continued coldly, "...our company's board of directors have policies tofollow. The most important one is that no directors can do anything that would harm KS Group inany way.

"The moment a director violates this rule, they will be dismissed from the board and never to rejoin.Am I clear?"

A weight settled in the directors’ hearts upon hearing this. They quickly left the room withoutanother word.

Silence soon filled the room once more.

Alyssa deflated in an instant, hands cupping her face.

She knew that her father would be alright with Jasper and Neil by his side. She'd give anything to goto her father's side right now.

But this was the first time something like this had happened—a crisis of this magnitude. This issomething the Taylors had never experienced before. Alyssa had tried her best to compose herself,yet she was still anxious.

"Don't be scared, Ms. Alyssa,” Sean said, crouching by her side as he consoled her. "We're all herefor you. Mr. Winston and KS Group will both be okay!"

Alyssa took a deep breath and removed her hands, revealing her ashen face. "Thank you for comingall the way, Sean.”

"Nonsense!" Sean's eyes widened. "I'll always follow you loyally, no matter what happens!"

"I know, but I still feel... sorry. Sorry toward you and Taty," Alyssa said, suddenly feeling like crying."But don't worry. I'll replace someone to fill the role of my secretary soon. You won't be troubled anylonger."

"But Ms. Alyssa, I want to be your secretary.” Sean shook his head, not wanting Alyssa to say thingslike this. "I don't want power or riches. All I hope for is to be able to help you solve your problemsSO you can rest easy.

"If you still trust me and don't replace me lacking compared to before, then please... employ me asyour secretary again.”

Alyssa choked with gratitude.

On their way back to the chairman's office, Sean asked her, "Ms. Alyssa, isn't keeping Dominic Tayloraround a bad idea for the company? He's a terrible man who can't keep his mouth shut. He didn'tsign the NDA either. I'm sure he's going to start plotting something behind our backs!"

"I know."
