Can’t Win Me Back

Alyssa balled her hands into fists as she pressed them against the faux rock.

All her focus was now directed onto Sheryl instead of Jasper.

At this moment, Sheryl picked up the tie bar from its box.

While Jasper was distracted, she clipped it onto his tie.

Jasper was taken aback.

He quickly stepped back, but Sheryl was quicker, and the tie bar was clipped on.

"Mr. Jasper, it suits you really well." Sheryl's eyes were captivating, and her voice was sultry.

If she were speaking with any other man, they would be easily captivated by her.

"It looks like I made the right choice." Jasper's eyes dimmed.

Yet, out of courtesy and because Sheryl worked for Justin, he did not react in any way that would put her in a difficult spot.

Alyssa's eyes reflected a deep sorrow as she watched them, her gaze carrying the silent desolation of a snowstorm beginning to overtake her heart.

Even so, she forced herself to stay rational.

She pulled out her cell phone, wanting to record Sheryl's every move.

However, her vision was blocked, and all she could see was darkness.
