Chapter 28
Alyssa returned to her office.
Mia approached her with wobbly legs. “I–I was so scared! Mr. Jasper is so good–looking! And there’s this powerful presence about him! My cheeks were burning the moment I met him. D–Did I do well, Ms. Alyssa?”
“You did great.” Alyssa handed her an envelope. “Take it. You’ve earned it.”
“T–Thank you, Ms. Alyssa!” Mia took the envelope and was surprised by its thickness.
Just then, Sean handed her a document. It was a confidentiality agreement.
“I know you’re trustworthy, but I think it’s better to have an agreement for both parties‘ sake.” Alyssa smiled faintly.
She continued, “Everything that happened today must remain between us. Unless I reveal it myself, sharing this conversation with a third party would be a breach of the agreement. I will get to the bottom of it.”
Feeling overwhelmed by the gravity of the situation, Mia nodded and signed the papers. She promised to keep it a secret before leaving the office.
“The rumor has it that Jasper is a decisive person. I just can’t guess what’s on his mind. Don’t you think so, Ms. Alyssa? Ms. Alyssa?” Sean said.
Alyssa pulled herself back from her train of thought. She smiled wryly. “Mr. Jasper truly loves Ms. Gardner. He’s willing to put his pride down for her.”
“I heard it’s his second marriage, and he treated his first wife badly. Now that Ms. Gardner is going to marry him, I guess the first wife

Alyssa slammed the table and glared at him. Sean shuddered under her cold gaze. Still, he did not know which part of his words infuriated
her.
“M–Ms. Alyssa, now that you failed to make a deal with Jasper, what are you planning to do?” Sean quickly changed the subject.
“Wait,” Alyssa replied curtly.
“Wait? What do you mean?” Sean was confused.
“I’ll bide my time until the pressure overwhelms Gardner Group and the day Dylan himself addresses the quality issue. They’ll strive to salvage their reputation. When that day comes, I’ll deliver the final blow,” Alyssa sneered.
“Do you think Jasper will lend them a hand then?”
“He won’t.” Alyssa looked at her painting, which Jasper had praised. She felt a mix of emotions.
Alyssa recalled that her stomach was hurting that day. “Jasper, my stomach hurts. Could you ··· get me a glass of warm water?”
It was only a drizzle when Jasper first arrived at KS World Hotel. Now, the weather had transformed into a thunderstorm. His mood was the

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...
