Chapter 255
Alyssa was seeing someone else now.
Jasper clutched his chest, wondering why the pain was so intense. It felt as if someone had carved a hole behind his ribs.
It was only at this moment that the realization of their divorce struck him like a freight train of bricks.
…
When Sean saw Alyss a and Jameson em erge from the elevator in the underground parking lot, he hurried over. “Ms. Alyssa! How’s the injury?”
“All taken care of. What about ourattacker?”
“I’ve had someone escort him back home,undercover. He’s currently at our private headquarters. There’s no way he can escape,” Sean whispered to her.
“Great!We’re going to have loads of funfor the next few days.”Alyssa grinned devilishly.
Sean nodded.”Whenever you’re ready, Ms. Alyssa.”
“Wait for me by the car. I want to talk tothe guy first.”Alyss a then turned back to Jameson.
Jameson gazed steadily at her, leaning against his sleek Bentley like a marble Adonis.
“You’ve seen my relationship with Mr.Beckett. It’s more complicated than I’d like.”Alyssa smiled at him, her tone tinged with guilt.
She continued,”I had to do what I did, hence the roleplay. Regardless, I shouldn’t have dragged you into my mess. I’m sorry. 11
“Don’t be. It’s my honor.”Jamesongrinned.
Alyssa felt even guiltier now.
“You’re welcome to do it again if you’dlike,” he added.
“You joke, mister,” Alyss a laughed.”Ipray nothing like this happens next time.”
“Make sure no water gets on your wound.Don’t eat anything too inflammatory. Get some rest as soon as you’re home. It’s late. 11
Jameson couldn’t bear to part with her, but he knew when to stop. He turned and got into his car.
“I never thought we’d meet again like
this, Alyssa,” he murmured.
“Mr. Schmidt, I’ve investigated herconnection with Jasper Beckett, and there’s no information whatsoever of their marriage! But there’s information indicating that they only divorced a month ago,” Carl reported, scrolling through his findings on his tablet.”Ms. Alyssa is officially single right now!”
“That doesn’t matter. She said I’m moreimportant to her than Jasper is.” When Jameson recalled Alyssa’s words, his heart fluttered and swelled gloriously.
“Congratulations, sir! You beat JasperBeckett!” Carl said, feeling happy for his boss.
“But that’s not enough.”Jameson tracedthe outline of Alyssa’s face on the window, his eyes filled with warmth.”I want her to have eyes only for me. Me, and no other.”
