Even if there were a spark between them, their current situation wouldn't allow them to see each other. How could their relationship possibly blossom under these circumstances? Alyssa spent the entire day buried in project plans, deciphering information on the group's executives and their current financial situation. Jasper assisted her, but the sheer volof work left her exhausted. Her head spun, and her back ached.
"Phew, I'm beat," she sighed, collapsing weakly into Jasper's arms like a robot running low on power. "Why is there so much to do? No one in their right mind could handle Jonah's workload." "Second thoughts already?" Jasper chuckled softly, gently massaging her temples. "Just a friendly warning from someone with experience. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Once you take over, you'll be facing a mountain of issues, even more than you're dealing with now." "Regret?" Alyssa scoffed, lifting her chin. "That word doesn't exist in my vocabulary. Just watch me. I'll not only get the job done, but I'll excel at it. Remember KS World Hotel? | promised to run it better than Berenike, and | did, didn't I? My achievements speak for themselves."
