Chapter 438
The surrounding guests and reporters shot Alyssa incredulous, awe-filled looks.
“My apologies, Madam Yves. I didn’t know you were waiting for me,” Alyssa said with a
blush.
Yves grinned. “Don’t sweat it. You’ve had a busy night.”
She then wrapped an arm around Alyssa’s shoulders, making the two look quite like close
friends. She
said to the reporters, “Come on, where are our photos?”
Alyssa was just as shocked as everyone else.
This was the first time a cold, terrifying, dominating woman like Yves had initiated a photo
with someone
else.
The reporters thought that Alyssa must be someone special or unique to have caught her
attention.
How tremendous!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBetty and Zoe were devastated, especially the latter, who felt shame burst inside her
veins like fireworks.
Why?
Why was this happening?
Why were all the famous, influential, powerful people flocking toward Alyssa?
Zoe couldn’t figure out why.
Alyssa did her best to appear calm and happy while taking the photo with Yves, though
her heart was
pounding against her ribcage like an excited little beast. Her image should have gained
some positivity by
now.
After taking the photo, Yves and Alyssa went somewhere private to converse.
“Thank you so much, Madam Yves,” Alyssa said, her tone sincere.
Alyssa continued, “I’m sure you saw the trouble I was in earlier with the other reporters.
Your gesture
earlier signified your approval of me and thus helped me regain my footing.”
“Ms. Alyssa.
“i know we’re on the same team in this event. Your helping me will also ensure the event
goes smoothly
and well Alyssa smiled. Regardless, I’m still deeply grateful.”
“I didn’t help you just because we’re working together, Ms. Alyssa.” Yves’ tone and gaze
were filled with a kind, caring warmth. “Your brother Jonah asked me to help you and
watch over you tonight.”
Shock flitted across Alyssa’s gaze.
Jonah was always like this, taking care of her even when he wasn’t around. But in this
case, he was taking
advantage of Yves’ feelings for him. That wasn’t very kind of him!
“I know how large an impact your hotel has suffered since Ada stopped working with you.”
Yves took off
her shades, her expression now serious.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYves continued, “I can ask her to reconsider later. We’ve known each other for years.”
“No, no, please don’t!” Alyssa shook her head. “You’ve helped so much already. I couldn’t
possibly accept
more!”
“Are you worried you’ll owe me one, girl?” Yves smiled, patting her shoulder reassuringly.
“Don’t be. I’m
doing all this of my own volition.
“There is no such thing as owing any favors. Jonah has told you about my feelings for him,
hasn’t he?”
Alyssa nodded, biting her lip.
“He loves you dearly. You’re the most important person in his life right now. That means
you’re important
to me, too.
“I’ve loved him for ten years but never sought anything in return. All I ask is that he
continues letting me do so, nothing more.”
