By 10:00 am, Alyssa arrived at the entrance of the KS Group HQ office in her Rolls-Royce Spirit ofEcstasy. A few higher-ups had lined up at the entrance and waited for her with bouquets in theirhands.

Before Alyssa officially took over the KS Hotel, she was widely perceived as just Winston Taylor'sillegitimate daughter. After going through ups and downs, she made a name for herself in SolanaCity and the business field.

The first-floor lobby had been carefully decorated. A red carpet was laid out on the floor.

Alyssa was accorded the most formal welcome because everyone held her in great respect.

Back in the car, Sean adjusted his tie in the driver's seat and glanced at Alyssa through the rearviewmirror. He warmly reminded her, "Ms. Alyssa, we've arrived."

She slowly opened her eyes. Sean, suddenly excited, questioned earnestly, "Ms. Alyssa, your cheekblush is really pretty. It's a shade of reddish pink. Can you share the brand with me? I'll get one forTaty."

Her blush deepened when memories of Jasper plowing her flashed across her mind. Jasper hadcaressed her waist lovingly while going at it.

The "cheek blush" was merely the aftereffect of an orgasm. She wanted to blame Jasper for makingher weak.

She hurriedly shifted the conversation. Casting a glance at his necktie, she complimented him,"That's a neat tie. It must be a gift from Taty, right?"

"M-Ms. Alyssa, how did you know?" Sean's face reddened.

"That's because you don't have good taste in fashion.”

Sean scratched his head with a sheepish chuckle as he stroked his sleeve with a happy look. "Tatymade the embroidery on the tie. She even embroidered my initials on the back. It's one of a kindand my favorite gift.

Nodding, Alyssa grinned. "I can tell that it's Taty's work. Knowing you, you would most likely have itframed up. Why did you choose to wear it today?"

"I feel nervous on my first day back to work. Wearing Taty's creation will calm my nerves. I believeit's also a good luck charm.”

"That's right. We need to be careful from now on.” Squinting, she flashed a faint smile. "We aremarching into battle soon. There's an evil beast we need to get rid of.”

With a stern look, Sean handed her the documents he had prepared.

The KS Group directors had taken their seats in the meeting room, including Dominic, who lookedupset and aggrieved. They engaged in noisy discussions.

Someone opined, "If Mr. Winston is too sick to oversee the company operations, you should be thenext candidate in line to take over his role!"

Although the directors answered to Winston, some of them pledged their loyalty to Dominic. Theyhad started to secretly switch their allegiance after a series of events, from Winston's illness toJonah's resignation.

"Gosh, I'm nothing.” Dominic pretended to wave powerlessly. "I might be Winston's youngerbrother, but as you can see over the years, I have no say in company matters.

"Even if Winston steps down and Jonah resigns, they have other sons to take over the job. It will notbe my turn anytime soon. Please don't turn me into a laughingstock.”

"Winston's kids are not fit to helm the company, or else he would have promoted them. They are nomatch for you!"

"Even if—"

The doors to the meeting room flung open while the men were chatting.
