Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 650
“But do hurry. The célebration is about to begin.”
The door slammed shut behind Alyssa and the others.
Ten minutes later, Josh and Morgan walked out of the hall. The former’s watch was still stained with
blood. A woman’s wails and sobs of pain could be heard in the hall he had just left.
“Clean the mess up.’ Josh instructed Morgan.
“Yes, sir!”
“Alyssa Taylor really is something.” Josh emanated a frosty air as he cracked his knuckles.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve met someone who dared challenge me. If she wants to play, I’ll play along
with her.”
Alyssa felt incredibly satisfied after getting revenge for Tatiana. But the latter still felt uncomfortable.
Knowing this, Alyssa gave her and Sean some alone time. The two went to the balcony to freshen up after
the whole ordeal.
Sean took off his coat and wrapped it around Tatiana’s shoulders, since she was quivering in the cold.” Here. The wind is
stronger here.”
“Did you ... tell my sister about the other night when Brie messed with me?” Tatiana asked, slowly turning to face Sean. Her gaze
was filled with a mix of emotions.
Sean blinked for a moment before answering softly, “Yes. I was the one who told Ms. Alyssa.”
“Why? Why did you have to involve my sister in my personal issues with Brie?’ Tatiana’s eyes were filled with panic, her brows
knitting together.

*Alyssa is already so busy all the time. How could she still have time to deal with something as trivial as this? She nearly cut off
all ties with Josh Schmidt! Don’t you think he’s going to hold a grudge against her
instead of letting this go?”
“Ms. Tatiana ...”
“I know you’re my sister’s secretary, Sean. But if you care about her so much, then why didn’t you consider these things on her
behalf?” Tatiana’s tone was serious now.
“What if Josh decides to make things difficult for Alyssa? Did you ever consider how serious the
consequences of your action would be?”
Sean’s heart prickled with pain at Tatiana’s words.
In the midst of his panic, he placed both hands on Tatiana’s shoulders. “I was too angry! All I wanted was to help get revenge for
you. I was so worried that Brie would bully you on campus again.

“Every time I remember how she humiliated you that night, I get so pissed off... All I want to do is jum your defense and protect
you!”
“Sean...” Tatiana was taken aback by his words. She looked deeply into his passionate eyes. She could feel the heat from his
hands warming her up, making her heart pound.
“I know I manipulated Ms. Alyssa into this. I’ll definitely ask for her forgiveness, but I just can’t ignore it, Ms. Tatiana. I just can’t.”
Sean’s breathing quickened, and his cheeks flushed. ‘I hate how useless I am. If I could, I would do anything to keep you safe.
Anything.
Tatiana’s cheeks were bright red now. Tears welled in her eyes as she leaned against Sean’s shoulder.
She had once read a poem that went like this:
What was love?

It was the coward’s bravado, the pauper’s generosity.
the gladiator’s determination, the stoic’s gamble,
the meek’s confidence,
and-the fight to the end, knowing only futility stood in the way.
