“Are you sure? Jasper asked solemnly.


    “Well, sir. I phoned Ada’s manager myself. She was the one who said Ms. Taylor had contacted them


    first. The manager actually intends for us topete for the opportunity… Xavier’s voice grew smaller


    as he continued, noticing how Jasper’s face was growing more menacing by the second.


    “What else did they say?”


    “The manager also said that they know Berenike Hotel has always been famous and well–known, but


    KS World Hotel’s been in the limelighttely, so they want us to prove to them why they should pick us


    for the wedding. Our ns need to win them over before Ada even considers working with us.”


    Jasper mmed the table, feeling unbearably irritated.


    Alice White was already annoying enough to deal with. And now Alyssa Taylor was here trying to


    compete for their project? Were these women specifically sent to torment him?


    “Arrange a meeting with all department heads and directors tomorrow. We need toe up with a


    high–end wedding proposal to present to Ada Kingsley,” Jasper ordered. “If we fail to secure this


    project and Alyssa Taylor wins it, then everyone involved in the proposal will be dismissed!”


    Xavier nodded and scheduled the meeting. It appeared his boss was exacting vengeance for having to


    climb up those ten flights of stairs


    After lunch, Jasper drove Liana over to meet the fashion designer she had mentioned earlier.


    “I thought we were meeting the designer?” he asked, confused as to why they were in front of avishly


    decorated six–story building. The Victorian–style gate caught his attention as it was stylized with


    borately carved roses.


    “She’s right inside. This is the private design firm of the renowned designer, Rose Emerson!” Liana


    squealed.


    She continued, “Although her clothing brand, Rozab, has numerous branches in malls nationwide,


    they still can’tpare to what she can create for us. That’s why we’re here today! She’s going to


    specially design our wedding outfits!”


    Liana had gotten her hair done today just for this asion, even dying it a light caramel color. She was


    dressed in a backless red cocktail gown, and her lips were painted bright red.


    All Jasper could think about when he saw the red on her was Alice White, as if only she could paint her


    lips that red. Anyone else who tried to mimic her would only embarrass themselves.


    “It’s just clothes,” he grunted. “I don’t need to get another set of clothes. We’ll just get yours done.”


    “Aw,e on! I’m going to be your wife soon. I should get you nice clothes too. You mustn’t keep any


    clothes other women give you from now on, okay?” Liana mewled, leaning against his shoulder.


    Jasper’s heart dropped just the slightest as he recalled the suit Alice had made for him. He had tried


    his best to maintain it over the years. even when it frayed and tore at the edges.


    But clearly, Alice didn’t appreciate the gifts he gave her in the same manner. She hadn’t defended him


    at all when the bracelet he’d made

    for her had been tossed onto the ground, breaking apart.


    He pursed his lips, saying quietly. “Okay.”


    The two got out of the car and went up to the door. They were stopped by a man in a suit, who said,


    “My apologies, but Ms. Emerson has a


    private event today. Only invitees are allowed.”


    “Look at what we have,” Liana said with a delighted grin, showing the man two Invitation cards with


    rose gold roses printed on them.


    “Then, this way, please,” the man nodded and showed them inside.


    Several other guests were enjoying drinks and conversation in the event hall, all dressed finely.


    Jasper hadn I expected Liana to bring him to such an asion. She had kept it from nim the whole


    morning. No wonder she was dressed like this.


    He didn’t like how things were going. He never participated in any dinner parties or high tea events


    unless he had to meet with a client. Right now, he fell like he was being taken advantage of by Liana.


    Sure enough, his appearance shocked many of the guests.


    “Isn’t that Jasper Beckett from Beckett Group?”


    “It really is him! Damn, he’s even more handsome in person!”


    “Who’s that woman with him? How lucky she must be!”


    “What? Don’t you know who that is? That’s Liana Gardner, Mr. Beckett’s fiancée! She’s the one he


    divorced his ex–wife for. Imagine that!”


    “Oh, my God! Are you kidding me?”


    Liana was high on all the gossip, feeling unbelievably proud of herself. To her, every woman here was


    envious of her because she had sessfully won over a man as fine as Jasper Beckett.
