Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1776

Sean strode into the meeting room with a serious face. Following that, the attendees heard the jarring clicks of heels as though their owner was stepping on everyone's face. It sent a chill down everyone's spine.

"I was standing at the door for a while. I didn't want to interrupt you because you seemed to be having a great time." Smiling, Alyssa walked into the room. "But the meeting has to go on. Maybe leave the chatting for after the meeting."

Her presence caught everyone off guard, and the directors quietly replayed their conversations just now out of fear of having blurted out inappropriate remarks.

Alyssa came to a sudden halt behind Dominic, who dared not look at her. His heart leaped into his throat. He thought, "That little bitch is so intimidating!"

She said nothing to Dominic. Instead, she gracefully settled down at the head of the table with a composed smile.

She began, "Gentlemen, my father departed the country yesterday for his treatment and recovery abroad."

Carrying herself with an authoritative air, she announced, "I'm sure you have all received the official news of my appointment. I am KS Group's new president starting from the date of announcement.

"There are two items on our agenda today. Firstly, we need to pick a vice president."

The directors exchanged amused looks.

"Ms. Alyssa," Edward Bates, the director who sided with Dominic, blurted out, "you might be Winston's daughter, but you are not fit to be the president yet with your current work experience. Although you had some success with KS Hotel, running a hotel is vastly different from running an entire company.

"You need at least two more years of on-the-ground training for us to vote you in as the president."

"He's right. Mr. Winston has made a rash decision by forcefully promoting you," the other directors chimed in.

Dominic betrayed a smirk when he heard the growing dissent. Noticing his smug look, Sean had the sudden urge to kick him in the teeth.
