“How about the Beckett Group?” Alyssa asked.


    “I heard they didn’t make any progress too.”


    “It’s good to know that we haven’t fallen behind. We’re still on the starting line just like they are.”


    “But we have morepetitors than the Beckett Group! I heard that ten luxury hotels across the


    nation are fighting to host Ada Kingsley’s wedding!”


    “The Beckett Group and the Taylor Group are the benchmark for hotels in the nation. Ada


    Kingsley is too fussy to host her wedding in smaller hotels.” She took a bite of the sandwich and


    squinted.


    She continued, “Keep in touch with her team. I want to move her with sincerity. She has an event


    in the country at the start of next month, where I’ll meet her in person and secure the deal. Time


    for the Beckett Group to give up!”


    Whoever messed with her business deals would have to suffer.


    Many young couples were waiting for their turn at the entrance to the city hall early in the


    morning. They were either hugging or taking photos sweetly.


    The Rolls–Royce in dark emerald, with its Spirit of Ecstasy mascot sculpture, came to a stop in


    front of the city hall. Many of the young couples were in awe at the sight of that.


    Alyssa checked her wristwatch. It was 9:00 am.

    “Hah. Surprisingly, Jasper did not show up early.” Sean mocked, “The president of the Beckett


    Group is indeed arrogant.”


    “Whatever. Let him be.” She checked out the youthful faces from the curtain. Their eyes were


    shining with joy. She remarked, “I’ve waited for him countless times. I don’t mind waiting for one


    Three years ago, she waited for Jasper at the entrance of city hall on the day they were supposed


    to register their marriage. She was starving all day until he showed up right before the closing time


    without a word of apology. He rushed through their marriage registration at the veryst


    minute


    Even so, she was too excited to sleep after they registered their marriage.


    +15 BONOS


    In retrospect, she was a hopeless pushover. She finally understood that she had to love herself


    before loving someone else.


    After half an hour, Alyssa almost lost her patience when she saw a cab stopping in front of the


    city hall. She couldn’t believe her eyes when Jasper emerged from the cab.


    “F***! Did I see it wrong? Why did the president take a cab here? Could he not afford to fuel his


    Maybach?” Sean’s eyes widened in disbelief.


    “Maybe he wants to keep a low profile. The divorce is not something to be proud of.” Alyssa


    yawned and got out of the car with Sean.


    As usual, Jasper wore his favorite ck suit with thin grey stripes, a dusty blue shirt, and a dark-


    colored tie. His style screamed aloof, stern, and disciplined, just like his character.


    The arrival of the handsome Jasper caused a stir among the crowds, especially thedies, who


    might squeal in delight if they weren’t with their boyfriends.


    It was the men’s turn to look delighted when Alyssa walked up to Jasper with poise.


    “Wow, look at her face! It’s as clear as crystal. Is her skin real?”


    “I think she’s bare–faced. Her dress is lovely! Please tell me how much it costs, so I’ll forget about


    ever buying it!”


    “Pfft, she must be unting the bare makeup look, but I’ll admit she is good at makeup!”


    “You got to have good looks to start with! You can’t look like her just by applying makeup!”


    The young people, who were mostly interested in entertainment news, did not realize that they


    were looking at Jasper Beckett, the president of the Beckett Group. His arrival in the cab offered a


    cover for his identity.


    Standing in front of him coldly, Alyssa confronted him, “Mr. Beckett, you’re-”


    He cut her off in a heavy tone, “I’m sorry.”
