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.
A hand with slender fingers gently covered her eyes. Then, she heard Justin's husky and gentle voice say, "Don't watch them anymore."
Alyssa's chest tightened. She spun around in a panic. Her pupils constricted as she stared at Justin's face.
Just as she was almost about to lean back against the faux rock behind her, Justin wrapped his arms around her and put his palms against the rock. The back of his hand prevented her shoulders from brushing up against the hard rock.
He was attentive, gentlemanly, and caring.
No matter how one looked at it, he was the perfect gentleman. Yet, he sent chills throughout Alyssa's entire being.
"Have you been standing here for a long time? Your face has turned red from the cold."
With depth in his eyes, Justin pulled open his coat to cover Alyssa's thin frame, shielding her from the cold. "Let's go back. You're going to catch a cold."
Alyssa's back stiffened up. She avoided his deep gaze and said, "I don't feel cold."
The cold barely registered with her, as her heart had grown almost entirely numb.
Justin leaned forward a little and uttered in a deep voice, "You're sad."
Alyssa stubbornly denied it, even though her eyes were red. "I'm not."

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🙄...
