Xavier shivered and stammered, "Uh, well, Mr. Beckett, I am worried for you! There has barely been any progress in your relationship with Madam. Who knows if I'll ever live to the day when you get back together!

"You said you risked your life to save her, but her attitude hasn't changed. She hasn't visited you except for her daily check-in calls to me. I feel sorry for you."

Xavier recalled that Alyssa had always prepared a feast whenever she learned Jasper would come home. Then, she'd wait for him by the door. She had given all her heart to him.

But now, all she offered were icy glances that sent shivers through onlookers. Some things, once lost, were impossible to regain.

"That's fine," Jasper said and sighed. He rubbed his fist on his knee. "I will not give up on pursuing her, no matter how she treats me."

There was a knock on the door. A female secretary announced, "Mr. Beckett, Mr. Harper is here to see you."

"Let him in."

Then, Landon smilingly entered, humming a tune with a gleeful expression. He was dressed in a white suit as usual.

Upon closer look, he did not seem to wear anything underneath his suit despite the cold weather. His tanned and solid chest was exposed, and a platinum necklace hung from his neck. He looked wild, sexy, and seductive.

Landon was the only man in Solana City who could exude such charm in that outfit.

"Bro, you look good. Lyse's medication works, it seems," Landon remarked and plopped on the couch. He felt relieved seeing Jasper's marked improvement. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Ever since Jasper admitted his feelings for Alyssa, Landon had been mentioning her a lot more.

Jasper cheered up at the mention of Alyssa, but he cast a disgusted look at the skimpy outfit on Landon and warned, "You won't be let in the next time if you dress like this." Landon wondered aloud, "But why?"

Jasper lowered his gaze and pored through his documents. "This is an office, not a nightclub. I'd rather not have people gossiping about my weird kinks."

Xavier nearly burst into laughter, leaving Landon squinting as it took him a moment to catch on.

Then, Landon yelled angrily, "You little fucker! I'm straight, okay? Even if you want to bed me, I won't sleep with you. I've got better options out there ..." Jasper was left dumbfounded while Xavier struggled to hold back his laughter.

"That's enough. I don't have time for your nonsense. What's up?" Jasper questioned.

"Look at this!" He produced an invitation card and waved it in front of Jasper.

"What's that?"

"I got this invitation card to Lyla Nelson's birthday party this weekend! Ms. Alyssa's staff delivered it to me!"
