The following day, Xavier hurriedly knocked on Jasper’s office door at the Beckett Group, announcing.”
Mr. Beckett, you wanted me to look into-Argh!”
Xavier trailed off with a scream. It was too late to stop Jasper, who was seated on the table and casually lifting a pastry out of the dirty box.
With a satisfied crunch, Jasper took a massive bite of the pastry and scrunched up his eyes in enjoyment.
“Oh god! How could you eat the food you picked from the trashcan?” Xavier warned him.
“Only the box is dirty. The pastries are fine,” Jasper replied nonchalantly as he took another bite.
The pastries tasted delightful, but too bad they weren’t for him.
Bitterness welled up inside him. He had once been dismissive of Alyssa’s daily efforts in crafting these desserts. Now, he found himself rummaging through the trash can just to get a taste. How did he get to
this point?
“Go ahead. How’s the investigation?” Jasper put away the remaining pastries and questioned leisurely.
“Ahem. After using both carrots and sticks, the owner of the verified account offered up an important

“Don’t beat around the bush.”
“He said he received the photos of the wedding venue through an anonymous message. He claimed he

“Give me that account. I’ll handle it myself,” Jasper beckoned.
“I-It’s not a big deal. You don’t have to-”

Surprisingly, everyone collectively volunteered to cancel their break to work and make up for the loss.
When everyone left the meeting, Sean closed the door after checking that no one was out there.
“Ms. Alyssa, why didn’t you mention the mole in the meeting?” He frowned puzzledly. “If you put pressure on them, I could catch their expressions. We might find out who the mole is.”
“Tsk. You’re naive.” She rested her hand on the leather armrest and swiveled her chair. “The news has already spread. The culprit must have expected me to bring it up in the meeting. But I chose not to. I even pretended not to care, just to unsettle them.”
Sean was amused by Alyssa’s unconventional ideas.

“Since the leak has happened, there is no point pressuring the culprit. They have gotten what they
A cunning gleam sparkled in her eyes. “We need to trick them into putting down their guard, thinking that the storm has passed. Then, we’ll set the bait.”
“I’ll check the surveillance footage for any suspects near the wedding venue. I’ll also investigate the account that leaked the photos to gather some information on the leaker!”
Alyssa narrowed her eyes. “Sure. Go.”
