The thought made her sit up in bed suddenly. Why would her mind go there when they were divorced?
Finally, she slept for two hours and went rowing for an hour in the morning to suppress her desire. After that, Sean prepared a hearty breakfast for her.
She looked troubled while eating her bread and eggs and drinking her coffee.
“Ms. Alyssa, are you bothered by Ella’s case?” Sean grabbed a napkin and gently helped her to wipe away the crumbs and oil on her fingers. His elegance could match that of a royal footman.
“I hate the feeling of losing.” She inhaled sharply and narrowed her eyes. However, she did not vocalize the rest of her thoughts¨Cthat she hated the feeling of being under Jeremy’s control
“How do you plan to deal with Betty Walsh?” Sean asked.
“I need some time to think over it. We need to settle the matter before the controversy dies down.”
Right then, her phone buzzed on the table. Her eyes widened when she saw the caller ID. It was a call from Winston
“Winston, anything wrong with you?” She picked up and questioned him anxiously
“Tsk, what’s with that tone? You make it sound like I’m dying.” Winston smacked his lips and coughed softly. “Um, when are you coming home? Your stepmoms are throwing a celebration for you.”
“A celebration?” She was puzzled.
“Weren’t you in the news for being a Good Samaritan? The videos were all over TikTok. You know, the ones about the Prettiest Angel.”
God! Alyssa rubbed her forehead when he brought up the “Prettiest Angel” topic.
“Your stepmoms want a celebration because they think you made the family proud.
Just when Alyssa was fretting over the fact that she went viral, her family appeared to be happily celebrating it.
“It’s fine. I’m trying to suppress the online discussion because I hate publicity. It will only get me in trouble”
“Tsk, you’re really not a thoughtful daughter. Your stepmoms just wanted to see you. I haven’t
*Fine. I’ll be home after two days when I’m done with work,” she replied.
“By the way,” Winston muttered sternly, “has that rascal Axel recently returned?”
“Yeah.” She had no choice but to be truthful.
“Hah! I was planning to throw a memorial for that brat until I heard from Jonah that he’s back,”
Winston went off. “Bring Axel home with you. If he refuses, I shall not see him as my son anymore. He won’t be part of the family!”
After the call, Alyssa frowned and reached into Sean’s pocket for a piece of chocolate. She munched on it glumly.
“What’s wrong?” Sean was worried.
“My dad wants me to bring Axel home for dinner.”
“Oh, that…” Knowing Axel’s character, Sean knew it’d be tough.
Winston and Axel are both equally bad¨Ctempered. They’re two peas in a pod!”
She savored the sweetness of the chocolate, which calmed her down. “I know Axel well. He listens to me on almost everything except going home to see Dad. He’s a stubborn one. I need to work my brains to coax him.”
After packing up, Alyssa went to work. When she drove past the hotel entrance in her Bugatti, she frowned at the crowd of reporters there.
Sean quickly called up the hotel front desk for updates.
“The reporters are here to interview the ‘Prettiest Angel.’ We are not sure how they found out that she’s our employee. So…”
Alyssa’s eyes betrayed her annoyance. She always hated media publicity from a young age. She would never put herself under the limelight unless she absolutely had to.
“Why would they make news out of nothing? Do they not have anything better to write about?”
She took a sip of her coffee. “Whatever. The discussion will die off soon. I’ve also told Jonah to suppress the news, so we’ll see his power at work soon. Let’s use the back entrance.”
At the hotel’s back entrance, Alyssa had Sean park the car while she sprinted into the private elevator and went to her office on the top floor. During her trip, she checked the hotel’s official
Twitter account.
Thanks to the effect of the “Prettiest Angel” discussion, the official Twitter received an influx of replies and positive commentaries.
“I’ll stay at a KS Group hotel next time! Their employees are the best!”
“She’s so pretty! Anyone has a high¨Cres photo of her full face?”
“KS Group is a reliable brand, unlike the Walsh Group. When will the Walsh Group release an official statement about the harassment of the hotel employee?”
Alyssa’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. Although she hated publicity, she was glad that the online buzz had achieved free marketing for the hotel.
Still, she felt uneasy because there was no closure for Ella yet.
Suddenly, she picked up a male scent right behind her. He was getting a little too close to her. Before she knew it, the man had placed a hand on her shoulder.
Eyes wide open, she spun around and threw her coffee in his face.
“Ouch!”
Next, she grabbed his muscular arm and flung him over her shoulder.
“Ouch!” The tall and stocky man fell hard onto the floor. Alyssa pinned him down with ease.
“I¨CI¨CIt hurts-“
She did a double take and inhaled sharply. “Landon Harper? Why are you here?”
Splattered on the floor, he coughed and muttered, “There was a saying… that lust is the greatest enemy…”
“It was your fault for walking like a cat. I reacted before I had the time to think.” Feeling embarrassed, she crouched on the ground and checked on him. With a serious face, she felt him her skills
He squinted and enjoyed her massage with a look of love, thinking, “Oh, Jeremy, you didn’t know what you had lost! Don’t blame me for taking advantage of the situation!”
“Not bad. You’re pretty toned and fit. There are no broken bones.” Feeling relieved, she slapped him hard on the leg. “Get up now. Don’t you dare fake your injury in my face.”
“I want to get up, but I can’t.” He inhaled sharply and grimaced. “I might not have broken bones, but my body is numb from the pain! Please, can you help me up?”
Put in an embarrassed position, she had no choice but to help him up from the ground. When he sensed her soft and perfumed body against his, he swallowed hard and reflexively pressed against her as his mind went places.
It had always been ladies who lined up for him, not the other way around.
“Hey/Allison, what do you think after feeling me up?” He raised a brow in anticipation.
“Feeling you up? Haha. I finally know what’s wrong with you after the fall. It looks like you have brain damage.” She snickered. “I’m not that easily turned on by a man.”
She immediately blushed when she blurted out her thoughts. Landon knew that Jeremy was on her mind. He turned green in envy. Feeling competitive, he pushed her back up against the wall and fixed his enchanting gaze on her face.
He slowly bent over and said in a hushed voice, “Which of us does it better? Jeremy or me?”
He tightened his grip. “And how would you know whether I’m as good as him?”
Landon was a master in the art of flirting, after all.
“Do you want me to break your bones for real, Mr. Harper?” Alyssa gritted her teeth and fired back. Her eyes were spitting fire.
Landon dared not take a step closer. Acting pitiful, he stumbled backward.” Ms. Taylor, that was a joke! You scared me! I’m the victim, anyhow.
“What more do you want from me after the hitting, yelling, and ruining my outfit? I can’t possibly show up to lunch with my mom in this outfit. Shouldn’t you at least get me some new clothes?”
Alyssa admitted that she had overdone it. Landon was slightly more reasonable compared to the socially difficult Jeremy.
When Liana and the gang bullied her, it was Landon who got back at them on her behalf. She always remembered his kindness in her heart.
“My secretary will get you a new outfit. He’ll also book you a room for a shower and rest. How does that sound?” She might look indifferent, but she was quite thoughtful.
“Oh, that’s a lot of trouble. Why don’t you come with me to shop for my new outfit at the nearby mall? I’m afraid that the outfit chosen by your secretary might not suit my taste.”
