Chapter 370
No woman had ever left Jasper feeling as defeated as Alyssa did. Even when Liana had
used and betrayed him, the strongest emotion he’d felt was rage.
Staring at the newer and tidier lobby than Berenike Hotel, Jasper smiled helplessly.
When Alyssa had married him, she always seemed unworldly and acquiescent. He had
never looked down on her countryside background, but he always believed that they were
worlds apart and shared no
common ground.
He finally understood that he was too far removed from her world, even if he tirelessly
played catch up.
He realized that Alyssa had put aside her pride to stay by his side for three years. That
was the only time
she was within his reach.
She was never out of his league. It was the other way around.
Sean happened to engage in a work discussion with two hotel managers. He turned
around and was shocked to find Jasper standing in the lobby. His eyes darkened.
“That’s all for now. Go.”

expression. He said, ” Mr. Beckett, the restaurant is to the left, the bar to the right, and the
café on the third floor. If you’re here
to book a room, please speak to the front desk staff.”
“I’d like to meet Ms. Alyssa,” Jasper got straight to the point as he scanned his
surroundings
emotionlessly.
“Who do you think you are, demanding to meet our Ms. Alyssa on a whim?” Sean smirked.
He would have
thrown Jasper out if it weren’t for the hotel’s etiquette in dealing with guests.
“Whatever. I must meet Ms. Alyssa today.”
Jasper found that he was increasingly thick-skinned. In the past, he would have left after
being humiliated.
However, he ignored Sean’s taunt and stayed, for it wouldn’t hurt him anyway. He would
lose sleep if he
failed to see her.
“She won’t see you. You’ll only spoil her mood,” Sean asserted, trying to shoo Jasper away.
“You should scram if you know better. Don’t even think of meeting her when I’m around.”
“Fine. But I need to hear it from her.” Jasper did not back down. “You’ve stepped on her
toes. Your words

“Are you picking trouble with me?” Face flushed, Sean was about to argue with Jasper
when they heard a
clear voice from behind that struck Jasper’s heart.
“Mr. Lynch, is Lyse still busy at work?”
Jasper spun around and saw Jameson leisurely approaching them in a neat outfit. The two
handsome
men stood in front of Sean, ignoring each other, but Sean clearly picked up on the tension
between them.
The lobby was about to turn into a battlefield at any minute.
Sean silently cussed at Jameson for being clingy. He so badly wanted to throw the two
men into a cage
and make them fight.
“Mr. Schmidt, you shouldn’t be using her nickname in public, especially in the hotel that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe manages.”
Sean was equally cold to Jameson.
Jasper silently snickered and suddenly found himself liking this secretary of Alyssa’s.
“Sure. Is she busy? When will she be done?” Jameson remained unfazed by Sean’s remark.
He was rather
humble and adaptive. “I’d like to take her out for dinner as a thank you for getting my
mom Christina
Hammond’s signed CD.”
“I’m not too sure,” Sean replied, addressing both men.
“I can wait.” Jasper and Jameson spoke at the same time. They turned to each other
briefly before
looking away in disgust.
What terrible luck!
“You don’t have to wait. She won’t meet you even if you camp here tonight,” Sean replied.
Right after that, he heard Alyssa’s stern’ but lovely voice coming from his earpiece. She
inquired, “Sean,
what’s happening in the lobby?”
