Can’t Win Me Back

Chapter 684

Jasper was taken aback, his arms still in midair. He had wanted to comfort Alyssa with a hug.

“I only wanted to…”

“I said, stay out of this!” Alyssa had no patience to deal with him further. She stormed away from him, still

worriedly, a sliver of blame in his eyes. After all, his boss had always been known to get on Alyssa’s wrong
