NovelEnglishSean nodded and took out a stack of documents from his briefcase before distributing them to the directors.
"A non-disclosure agreement?" The directors were shocked. Sof them felt insulted and asked, "What is the
meaning of this, Ms. Alyssa? We're all close friends of your fathers and helped him build the company from
scratch. Do you not trust us? Is this how you show your respect?"
Alyssa responded calmly, "Please don't misunderstand. I'm only doing this to protect my father, KS Group, and
all your shares as much as possible. It has nothing to do with my respect for anyone. This NDA is just a safety
precaution meant to keep those who mean harm in check.
"Not only are you all my father's business partners, you're also his friends. | trust none of you would do
something to ruin my father's reputation. This agreement is a mere backup. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a need
for contracts in the business world anymore, don't you agree?"
Alyssa had already spoken in a gracious and respectful enough manner. There was no reason for the directors

Soon, all agreements were signed.
Sean's brows furrowed before he whispered in Alyssa's ear, "Ms. Alyssa, Dominic Taylor isn't here."
"I know. Don't worry, we'll talk about him in a bit," Alyssa said, gaze sullen.
After collecting all the NDAs, the directors got up and left, no longer having the patience to speak to Alyssa any
further.
"Since all of you have signed the agreement, letremind you..." Alyssa swiveled in her chair, back facing the
directors as she continued coldly, "...our company's board of directors have policies to follow. The most
important one is that no directors can do anything that would harm KS Group in any way.
"The moment a director violates this rule, they will be dismissed from the board and never to rejoin. Am | clear?"
A weight settled in the directors’ hearts upon hearing this. They quickly left the room without another word.
Silence soon filled the room once more.
Alyssa deflated in an instant, hands cupping her face.
She knew that her father would be alright with Jasper and Neil by his side. She'd give anything to go to her
father's side right now.
But this was the first tsomething like this had happened—a crisis of this magnitude. This is something the
Taylors had never experienced before. Alyssa had tried her best to compose herself, yet she was still anxious.
"Don't be scared, Ms. Alyssa," Sean said, crouching by her side as he consoled her. "We're all here for you. Mr.
Winston and KS Group will both be okay!"
Alyssa took a deep breath and removed her hands, revealing her ashen face. "Thank you for coming all the way,
Sean."

"Nonsense!" Sean's eyes widened. "I'll always follow you loyally, no matter what happens!"
"I know, but I still feel... sorry. Sorry toward you and Taty," Alyssa said, suddenly feeling like crying. "But don't
worry. I'll find someone to fill the role of my secretary soon. You won't be troubled any longer."
"But Ms. Alyssa, | want to be your secretary." Sean shook his head, not wanting Alyssa to say things like this. "I
don't want power or riches. All | hope for is to be able to help you solve your problems so you can rest easy.
"If you still trustand don't findlacking compared to before, then please. employas your secretary
again."
Alyssa choked with gratitude.
On their way back to the chairman's office, Sean asked her, "Ms. Alyssa, isn't keeping Dominic Taylor around a
bad idea for the company? He's a terrible man who can't keep his mouth shut. He didn't sign the NDA either. I'm
sure he's going to start plotting something behind our backs!"
"I know."
