Can’t Win Me Back

The nameplate that once read "Jasper Beckett, CEO" had been replaced with "Justin Beckett" without Jasper's knowledge.

Thanks for all your hard work these years, Jasper.

You can leave the future of the Beckett Group in my hands now." The room fell into a tense silence.

Jasper's lashes quivered briefly before he broke into a smile.
