Alyssa had dreamed of hearing such loving words from Jasper's mouth for a long time, but they

remained a dream. Now that Jasper clung to her and repeatedly showered her with sweet talk, she

found it a little annoying.

Every time he touched and kissed her, he'd set off fireworks in her mind. Succumbing to his charm, she

allowed herself to fall deeper into him.

Even if she did not express her love in the form of words, Jasper could tell from her reaction to him.

Gathering herself, she wrapped his tie around her fingers. "Jasper, weren't you a gentleman in the

past? Why are you like a dog that's gone into heat?"

She suddenly covered her mouth upon realizing her wrong choice of words. He might have acted like a

hot-blooded teenager, driven crazy by lust, but she decided to watch her mouth out of respect.

To her surprise, he panted heavily, eyes dripping honey. He caressed her nape and pressed his

forehead against hers, saying, "Lyse, I'm your dog."

Her heart raced wildly as her cheeks blushed. She poked him in the chest and grumbled, "Stop it! Are

you saying that I'm a bitch too?"

Jasper swallowed hard and bit her on her rosy lips. He suggested, "We rarely travel in a van. There's

enough space in here for us..."

"I'm here to take my revenge, not to have sex!" Cheeks flushed, she gave him a flick on the forehead

and changed the topic, "By the way, why didn't I see the Harpers today? As the soon-to-be president,

shouldn't Landon show up at an event of this scale? He wouldn't want to give the spotlight to the

Schmidts."

"The Harpers are still grappling with the consequences of Zoe's actions. They've been at the center of

gossip, and their attendance would only attract criticisms."

Alyssa scoffed. "Hmph. Not bad. At least they know their place."

Jasper inched closer and rubbed the tip of his nose against her cheek in a flirtatious move. "Landon

said that he hates social events like these. He'd rather spend his time with his lovely wife than meet

with old farts. I wholly agree with him."

"You've been hugging me nonstop for days. I woke up sweaty and sticky because of you. It feels

disgusting." She hopped off from his lap and said, "We're sleeping in different rooms tonight!"

Arms empty and being told to sleep alone that night, Jasper felt bad for himself. "Don't do this to me,

Lyse."

At that time, they heard a knock on the car window. Alyssa rolled down the window and found Xavier

stanuing out there.

Xavier reported, "Mr. Beckett, Madam Alyssa, everything's been arranged in the city hall."

"Got it. Thanks for your hard work." She nodded with a smile before warning sternly, "Still, keep a close

eye. This is an important event, so I expect tight security.

"The Becketts are not in attendance. If the Schmidts catch you in the city hall, they'll notice something

amiss. That will jeopardize our plans."

"Don't worry, Lyse." Jasper wrapped an arm around her waist with a smile. "My men have infiltrated the

city hall."

Eyes twinkling, she felt more relieved at the reassurance. Then, she opened her laptop and coded

away furiously.

Jasper was no longer a stranger to the multi-talented woman, but every time he witnessed her at work,

he'd feel amazed by her capabilities while feeling inferior.

"Okay. Everything's ready." She tapped on the Enter key and cracked her sore fingers. "All's left is to sit

back and watch the show."

Jasper gently held her hand and caressed them. He'd let Alyssa do anything she liked, as he'd always

be there to back her up. Even if the sky fell on her, he'd be there to protect her.
