Xavier continued, "What about you, Mr. Beckett? What will you reward me with?"
"Reward you? Isn't that your job as a secretary?" Jasper's voice carried a lazy tone, like a just-fed lion.
Xavier blushed intensely from his wild imagination. "W-Well, Madam has rewarded me. Couples should be on the same page, right? Aren't you afraid that she'll say you're stingy?"
"Who do you think you're threatening?"
"No, no! I wouldn't dare." Sweating, Xavier immediately straightened his posture.
"You haven't had a break for a long time. I'll give you an additional ten days of annual leave. Go wherever you want and enjoy yourself."
"Um... Mr. Beckett, I'm a bachelor. Even if you gave me annual leave, I wouldn't know what to do."
Xavier grinned. "Mr. Beckett, how about... increasing my bonus? I won't take any more annual leave in the future. I'll work for you all year round, day and night, with my heart and soul. I'll be your and Madam's pet!"
Jasper was surprised that Xavier was aiming for a bigger bonus.
"Are you not satisfied with your million-dollar salary? Apart from the shareholders in Beckett Group, who else has a higher salary than you?"
Jasper sneered. "What kind of pet are you? So shameless."
"Mr. Beckett, even though I'm single right now, I still need to save some money for my future wedding. I've been running around for you, even doing FBI work.
"I'm so busy that I don't even have time to date. I've dedicated my entire youth to Beckett Group. Can't you be a little generous and considerate to this pitiful and unloved bachelor?"
Since Jasper and Alyssa reconciled, they had been happily in love. Xavier knew that Jasper was like a loving father now—asking for a raise at this time was perfect.
Before Jasper could speak, Alyssa's gentle and sweet voice suddenly came through. It seemed like the two of them were so close that even her breath was distinctly audible.
"Don't be so stingy, Jasper. Xavier rarely makes a request. Can't you agree to it?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
Just wonder what happened to publish 7 chap/day...
You upload shows 5/21/24 01:20, but I read these chapters 5/20/24 9:26. you can't go back with time only forward...

Time for this story to end it's getting boring and it's too long...
