Can’t Win Me Back

Gina exclaimed, "I see that you've got a hidden agenda. You are on the same side as David! He was

the one who arranged for you to come over and harm Maggie. Am I right?"

Alyssa responded, "No! I..."

"You didn't have good intentions either! I can't believe that you operated on that bastard. You are just

siding with the enemy! I want you to get out! Don't ever come and bother Maggie again!" Gina shouted

painfully at Alyssa. Her eyes were bloodshot as she glared at her.

Alyssa was anxious. Right before Gina could slam the door closed, Alyssa reacted speedily by putting

her hand on the side of the door.

"Mrs. Madison! I am really here to help Maggie! Please hear me out!"

In her anger, Gina picked up a newly-opened bag of laundry powder which was sitting on the window

sill. Without another word, she flung it at Alyssa's face!

Sweat formed on Alyssa's forehead. It was too late for her to dodge it.

All of a sudden, she felt a strong force pushing her away. Immediately after, she found herself

enveloped by a stable and fiery presence.

The arm that was around her waist was firm. She then heard Jasper panting heavily by her ear!

Alyssa was flustered. Following that was a loud smack. The bag of laundry powder hit Jasper on the

back of his head. The white powdery substance fell on his head, shoulders, and back like snow.

In an instant, his black suit had turned white. He looked extremely miserable.
