Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 707

Jasper looked at the man and asked, "Why not introduce me to someone?"

The man chuckled and replied, "Oh, please, no one on my list is good enough for you."

Zoren joined in, teasing, "Tired of the usual? Going for something more low-key now?"

Jasper grinned. "It doesn't matter if they're flashy or simple. I'm staying single for a while."

Liam couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Alright, alright," Zoren said, waving it off.

Mandy stood nearby, quietly listening to their playful chatter.

Even though Jasper made it seem like a joke, who really knew what he thought deep down?

His words were just for amusement.

She was just an observer, knowing her place and staying within her boundaries.

After the dinner, Mandy cleaned up the private room. While tidying up, she noticed something wedged between the couch cushions—a light violet hairband. She picked it up and examined it closely.

It looked expensive, and was probably made of real silk.

As she studied it, a sense of familiarity washed over her.

After thinking for a moment, she realized she had seen a girl in a photo with Jasper on Instagram, wearing the same hairband tied in a ponytail.

It was exactly where Jasper had been sitting earlier.

Clearly, the hairband had fallen from his pocket.

Uncertain of what to do with it, Mandy folded the hairband and kept it with her, just in case Jasper came looking for it later.

After finishing her cleaning, she was about to leave when her supervisor approached.

"Did you find anything in the room that belongs to Mr. Jasper?"

Mandy paused for a moment and answered, "Yes."

"What did you find?"

"A hairband. It should be his."

The supervisor reached out. "Let me take a look."

Mandy pulled the hairband from her pocket and handed it to the supervisor, who examined it for a few seconds.

"Take care."

As Jasper's car pulled away, Mandy stood there watching.

If she still couldn't see his attitude, she would be too foolish.

It was obvious that Jasper didn't care about her, as he rather cared about a hairband. She understood her place. It was time to let go of any fantasies she'd held onto.

From that point on, Mandy continued to work at Mystique. But this time, she willingly gave up her exclusive rights to Room 303.

"Why are you giving it up?" her manager asked, visibly annoyed. "Do you know how much effort I put in to get you into that room? You've got a good thing going, and now you want to walk away from it?"

In Skyler's eyes, Mandy either didn't understand the opportunity she had or she was too proud for her good.

Who did she think she was?

It was a coveted opportunity that others couldn't beg for, but she rejected it.

In truth, if it hadn't been for her connection to Jasper, Skyler would never have given her such an opportunity in the first place, as she didn't follow the hidden rules.

During her time managing Room 303, Mandy had made a hefty commission of 90 thousand just from the last time Jasper had stored wine there.
