Xavier shivered and stammered, âUh, well, Mr. Beckett, I am worried for you! There has barely been any progress in your relationship with Madam. Who knows if I ever live to the day when you get back together!
âYou said you risked your life to save her, but her attitude hasnât changed. She hasnât visited you except for her daily check-in calls to me. I feel sorry for you.
Xavier recalled that Alyssa had always prepared a feast whenever she learned Jasper would come home Then, sheâd wait for him by the door. She had given all her heart to him But now, all she offered were icy glances that sent shivers through onlookers. Some things, once lost, were impossible to regain âThatâs fine,â Jasper said and sighed. He rubbed his fist on his knee âI will not give up on pursuing her, no matter how she treats me There was a knock on the door. A female secretary announced, âMr Beckett, Mr. Harper is here to see you âLet him in Then, Landon smilingly entered, humming a tune with a gleeful expression He was dressed in a white suit as usual Upon closer look, he did not seem to wear anything underneath his suit despite the cold weather. His tanned and solid chest was exposed, and a platinum necklace hung from his neck. He looked wild, sexy.
and seductive Landon was the only man in Solana City who could exude such charm in that outfit âBro, you look good. Lyseâs medication works, it seems,â Landon remarked and plopped on the couch.
He felt relieved seeing Jasperâs marked improvement.
Ever since Jasper admitted his feelings for Alyssa, Landon had been mentioning her a lot more Jasper cheered up at the mention of Alyssa, but he cast a disgusted look at the skimpy outfit on Landon and warned, âYou wonât be let in the next time if you dress like thisâ
Landon wondered aloud, âBut why?â
Jasper lowered his gaze and pored through his documents âThis is an office, not a nightclubs iâd rather ot have people gossiping about my weird links.â
Xavier nearly burst into laughter, leaving Landon squinting as it took him a moment to catch on.
Then, Landon yelled angrily, âYou little fucker! Iâm straight, okay? Even if you want to bed me, I wonât sleep with you. Iâve got better options out thereâ¦â
Jasper was left dumbfounded while Xavier struggled to hold back his laughter.
âThatâs enough. I donât have time for your nonsense. Whatâs up?â Jasper questioned.
âLook at this!â He produced an invitation card and waved it in front of Jasper.
âWhatâs that?â
âI got this invitation card to Lyla Nelsonâs birthday party this weekend! Ms. Alyssaâs staff delivered it to me!â
