Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 386

Alyssa's eyes clouded over as she smirked. "Interesting. They are testing my limits. They won't learn their lessons if I don't put them in their place."

The setback didn't demotivate her. Losing an important client was not the focus right now. She needed to find out the mole in the hotel or risk losing more.

"Ms. Alyssa, what should we do with the box of desserts?" Sean appeared upset.

She decisively tossed the box into the trashcan and walked away without a second glance. She reasoned, "A gift is only meaningful if the recipient accepts it. Now, it's just trash. I never reclaim what I've given to others. Let's go."

A tall and hunky figure emerged from the shadows when the two left. Jasper's eyes flickered as he stared at Alyssa.

"It looks like Madam will be busy hunting down the mole! It's no easy task." Xavier sighed.

Jasper wordlessly walked to the trashcan and picked up the box without concern about hygiene.

"Mr. Beckett, s-stop! It's dirty!" Even the adaptable Xavier was grossed out by the scene. Never had Jasper lowered himself to the point of picking out trash discarded by Alyssa.

"It's fine. I did the same thing when I was a kid," Jasper mumbled, feeling a touch of warmth at the memory of Alyssa carefully crafting the pastries.

He said to Xavier, "Let's go."

…

"Tsk. You're naive." She rested her hand on the leather armrest and swiveled her chair. "The news has already spread. The culprit must have expected me to bring it up in the meeting. But I chose not to. I even pretended not to care, just to unsettle them."

Sean was amused by Alyssa's unconventional ideas.

"Since the leak has happened, there is no point pressuring the culprit. They have gotten what they wanted." A cunning gleam sparkled in her eyes. "We need to trick them into putting down their guard, thinking that the storm has passed. Then, we'll set the bait."

"I'll check the surveillance footage for any suspects near the wedding venue. I'll also investigate the account that leaked the photos to gather some information on the leaker!"

Alyssa narrowed her eyes. "Sure. Go."
