Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 28

Alyssa returned to her office.

Mia approached her with wobbly legs. “I–I was so scared! Mr. Jasper is so good–looking! And there’s this powerful presence about him! My cheeks were burning the moment I met him. D–Did I do well, Ms. Alyssa?”

“You did great.” Alyssa handed her an envelope. “Take it. You’ve earned it.”

“T–Thank you, Ms. Alyssa!” Mia took the envelope and was surprised by its thickness.

“I know you’re trustworthy, but I think it’s better to have an agreement for both parties‘ sake.” Alyssa smiled faintly.

She continued, “Everything that happened today must remain between us. Unless I reveal it myself, sharing this conversation with a third party would be a breach of the agreement. I will get to the bottom of it.”

Feeling overwhelmed by the gravity of the situation, Mia nodded and signed the papers. She promised to keep it a secret before leaving the office.

“The rumor has it that Jasper is a decisive person. I just can’t guess what’s on his mind. Don’t you think so, Ms. Alyssa? Ms. Alyssa?” Sean said.

Alyssa pulled herself back from her train of thought. She smiled wryly. “Mr. Jasper truly loves Ms. Gardner. He’s willing to put his pride down for her.”
