Dominicâs smile froze after hearing Alyssa mock Renee.
Jonah and Alyssa entered her new office. When the door shut behind them, she snickered and sat on the couch. âRenee is such a bitch. Sheâs already giving me trouble before I officially join the company-
always so impatient.â
Jonah poured her a glass of water and sighed. âShe competed for stickers with you in preschool. When you were in elementary school, you competed against her for the lead role in a dance performance, âSheâs been competing against you for her entire life, but sheâs never won once. I would have given up if i were her, but Iâm surprised by her persistence.
âShe has been losing to me when we were young. Sheâd be naive to think that she could win when we are now adults,â remarked Alyssa. She took a sip of water with a glint in her eyes. âThings are different now. If she works against me, I will not hesitate to get rid of her, even if sheâs family.â
âOf course, you wonât. You always retaliate against those who oppose you. I know youâre tough,â Jonah commented, sitting beside her and wrapping an arm around her shoulder.
He offered a piece of advice with concern, âStarting here, youâll find the company is a battlefield. The challenges are tenfold compared to KS World Hotel. Be extra careful, especially around Uncle Dominic.
âHeâs built a faction, and Dad goes easy on him because heâs Dadâs only brother. You need to be very cautious dealing with Uncle Dominic.â
âGot it,â Alyssa replied with an unreadable look in her eyes. âI will treat their family well if they behave, and weâll get along nicely. However, if they try to go against me, I will not hesitate to go hard on them and publicly humiliate him.â
Jonah squinted at her and warned, âGirl, you shouldnât exaggerate. Remember, Uncle Dominic is the vice chairman of the company board.â
She haughtily lifted her chin and scoffed. âHmph! My dad is the chairman! Iâm not afraid of Uncle Dominic.
âBy the way, have you informed Jasper about your transfer?â Jonah suddenly shifted the topic.
She blinked at him and pressed her lips, asking. âWhy should I tell him? Why does he need to know?â
Jonah was taken aback. He then smiled wryly. âThatâs true.â
At that moment, her phone rang. Her heart sank as she wondered if it was Jasper. When she checked her phone, she saw Jamesonâs name on the screen.
Jonah quietly stole a glance at her screen, and a frown crept onto his face. Heâd rather the caller be Jasper.
âJimmy?â Alyssa answered the phone calmly. 1 âLyse, Iâm in Belbanks now,â Jameson said tenderly. The sound of waves crashing, unique to Belbanks, could be heard in his background. His voice was filled with charm and passion.
He added, âI believe you must be in Belbanks as well. Do you have time to meet up?â
She checked her wristwatch, looking shocked. âDo you mean right now?â
âIf youâre busy now, I can wait for you for as long as it takes.â
