Chapter 482: Chapter 482

Ada chided, “Is this my wedding or yours? Don’t you think it’s rather rude to butt in while I’m talking business with Ms. Alyssa?”

Ada then glared at her manager and added, “I gave her my full trust when I picked her. I’ll accept all her suggestions, so I don’t need your opinion.”

After signing the agreement, Alyssa sent her staff to see Ada’s team out. Next, she relayed the new tasks to her team before leaving work.

When she stepped out, she immediately spotted Jonah’s Rolls Royce waiting by the hotel entrance.

The driver courteously opened the car door for her.

“Jonah! Are you free today? Why did you come to pick me up? Alyssa wrapped her arms around Jonah’s neck.

“I heard you gave Sean some time off.” He caressed her soft hair.

“Yeah, he’s been really tired lately and needed a break.”

“Is that the only reason?” Jonah squinted, as if he could read her thoughts. “You are at a time when you need extra help at work. Why send him away? Did you fight with him?”

She frowned and replied, “Why did your question sound funny? We have nothing to fight about. We’re not a couple.”

“You might not feel anything for him, but he’s certainly interested in you.”

“Jonah, what’s that nonsense?” She glowered at him.

He smiled and added, “We are aware of Sean’s feelings for you.”

“We?”

“Yeah, including Mandy. She brought up the issue with me a few days ago because she felt too awkward talking to you about it.”

Alyssa was a little exasperated after learning that everyone knew about Sean’s one-sided love.

That was rather embarrassing.

“Mandy is worried about how his personal feelings might affect you. You are with him all day and live Alyssa’s hand.

Mandy was extra cautious with the men around Alyssa because she saw her as a daughter, which Alyssa understood as well.

Mandy was worried that Sean might cross the line and take advantage of Alyssa when the two were together.

“I believe in Sean’s character. He’s not that type of guy. Still, I need to check in with you because you sent him on leave out of the blue,” said Jonah with concern.

“I gave him a chance to reflect on his actions,” Alyssa replied, growing serious.

She saw no need to hide the truth from Jonah and continued, “I could sense his feelings for me, so I sent him on vacation to sort out his emotions. It also serves as a warning. I can’t have him by my side if he can’t let go of his feelings.”

Jonah frowned and asked, “Are you going to let him go just like that?”

“It’s for his own good.” She sighed in frustration. “I’m not planning to date anymore, so he has no chance. at all. He’ll only suffer when he works alongside me with expectations. He would only be disappointed later.

“I know the pain of unrequited love, and I’m not letting anyone go through the same thing. Sean is a great guy who deserves better. He shouldn’t waste his time on me.”

Touched by Alyssa’s words, Jonah trembled and gave her a hug. He was interrupted by his ringing phone. So he picked up the call with his left hand while hugging her with another. “What’s the matter?”

“Mr. Jonah, Betty has been acquitted just now! She was seen leaving with Simon Lynch!”
