Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 5

That was how she heard the executives talking behind her back. 

“How dare they say that! You’re the Taylor family’s only daughter, and the daughter of the first wife. Are they out of their minds?” Alyssa’s secretary, Sean Lynch, was furious.

“Come on. That mindset is old-fashioned. Who cares about whether I’m the first wife’s daughter? I don’t care, so why should you bother?” Alyssa narrowed her eyes and pinched Sean’s face. Instantly, the young secretary blushed.

“Alyssa, you’re the future president of KS Group. Can you at least act with dignity? Don’t tease Sean.” Jonah frowned slightly.

“What’s the matter? Big bosses are allowed to tease their female secretaries. Why can’t a female boss touch her male secretary’s face?” Alyssa snickered. “It’s his honor to be touched by me!”

Jonah shook his head, his eyes showing only love and tenderness.

Soon, the executives surrounded Jonah and Alyssa. Michael Grant, one of the VPs, took them to the VIP elevator, but Alyssa said, “I want to take a look at the restaurant first.”

She didn’t beat around the bush, and her first objective was to observe this hotel. Terrified, Michael brought them to the buffet restaurant.

Jonah remained silent as if he was invisible and allowed his sister to do whatever she needed.

It wasn’t lunchtime, so there weren’t any customers, but a few waiters were already putting out the food. Alyssa glanced at the dishes and suddenly stopped before the seafood area.

Then, she rolled up her sleeve and put her hand into the glass aquarium. She accurately took out a dead shrimp from among the hundreds of live ones.

“Explain.”

“T-This isn’t dead yet.” Mr. Grant stuttered.

“You can have it then, since it’s not dead,” Alyssa smirked.

“M-Ms. Alyssa, as you can see, there are hundreds of shrimps. It’s normal for one to suffocate to death …”

“It’s normal to find one dead. But do you think it’s normal for the guest to get food poisoning from it?”

The smile on Alyssa’s face was gone. “Also, there are a total of 356 shrimps here. I took a rough look, and five were dead. There are around 30 shrimps that are on the verge of death. I’m not sure what the guests who paid 300 dollars to eat here would think, but if it were me, I would have blacklisted this hotel forever! Handle all the ingredients from the seafood area properly and change the suppliers. If I see another dead shrimp at lunch tomorrow, I’ll let you have a taste of it.”

Michael almost fainted while the other executives were stunned by what happened. Only Jonah and Sean knew that Alyssa had a photographic memory. She once helped the police solve a case because of her keen eyes. So a few shrimps was a piece of cake for her.

When they reached the guest rooms, Alyssa took a white handkerchief from Sean and wiped it gently across the wall and a picture frame.

“The cleaning is not done well—there’s dust. Redo it.”

The executives complained in their hearts.

“I know you guys are secretly cursing me, thinking that I’m being excessive and nitpicky, right?” Alyssa looked calm, but her tone was serious. “However, a hotel with a century-old reputation could also be wiped out by the neglect of such details. If the hotel inspector saw any of these issues, they could take down one of our stars.”

Then, she glanced at Sean. He understood what she meant and ordered, “Open up the room.”

The manager of the housekeeping department quickly did as told. In the past, they would clean a few rooms just for show during inspections by higher-ups. However, Alyssa went against their expectations.

Alyssa walked into the room and took a look at the bathroom first. Next, she sat on the bed. Instantly, her delicate face turned cold. However, she remained silent and ended her inspection.

After that, she went to her office with Jonah.

“What are your thoughts after looking around?” Jonah laughed.
