“But Mr. Javier and Madam Sophia adore you! You can be my spy and send me intel. We’ll win against
Alyssa if we team up!” Zoe’s eyes shimmered with desire.
Betty perked up at the mention of taking down Alyssa. “Okay! Deal. Let’s see if that will put a dent in
her arrogance!”
Zoe crossed her arms on her chest with a smug smile. She had been raised in affluence and showered
with love from her mother and brother.
She even attended school alongside members of the royal family and received numerous international
awards.
Her life in the limelight was filled with a continuous stream of apuse.
She had never lost to anyone and always got what she desired.
“And I’ll save my hand-holding for the woman I love.” Jasper’s words echoed in her head.
She silently vowed, “Jasper, I won’t let you slip away, not this time. I will marry you no matter what. I’ll
be the one to hold your hands!”
Soon, it was time to go home to Belbanks. She had been diligently managing her work, attending
meetings, and working on the wedding event proposal to ensure she could make it back home in the
evening.
Her efforts paid off when, after ten days of intense work, her team sessfullypleted Ada
Kingsley’s wedding event proposal.
Everyone on the team cheered exuberantly when they received Alyssa’s approval. One had to be
mentally and physically strong to work under Alyssa or risk breaking down in the process.
Still, no one on the teamined or pulled out.
Alyssa tended to everything and never made a fuss despite being a Taylor. She worked as hard as her
team members and treated them well with a constant supply of refreshments.
She might be a strict perfectionist, but she was witty and creative. Whenever the team was stuck, she
would promptlye up with solutions, earning her the respect and admiration of her colleagues.
“Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve been through a lot. Take a well-deserved three-day break, and make
sure
schedule, so I won’t be able to treat you all to dinner.”
Standing at the head of the oval meeting table, she clutched its edge and shed a wide smile at her
team. “Once we secure Ada Kingsley’s deal, you can start nning your overseas trips.
“There are more rewards than just bonuses and vacations in store for everyone! I’ll personally sponsor
your trips, and I always keep my promises!”
“Hooray!” Her team erupted in cheers. Even though they hadn’t secured the deal yet, Alyssa’s promise
filled them with anticipation.
It was 5:00 pm when she left the meeting room. Sean followed behind her and reminded her gently,
“Ms. Alyssa, I’ve prepared the outfit for the dinner. It’s in the dressing room. Would you like to change
into it?”
“Nah, I’mzy. Uncle Victor is Dad’s good friend. He has seen all sides of me since I was a child.”
Alyssa entered the private elevator when she saw that the time was near.

As the elevator descended, she nced at her reflection and delicately applied lipstick to her soft lips,
giving her a refreshed appearance.
Sean watched as she touched up her makeup. He felt something stirring in him. He couldn’t help but
smile, realizing that beneath Alyssa’s sassy and intelligent exterior, there was a softer, moredylike
side to her.
The two of them were lost in their thoughts. They did not realize that the elevator had reached the first
floor.
As the doors slid open, they were greeted by a warm, elegant, and mysteriousvender leaf fragrance.
Alyssa couldn’t help but think that the scent should be named after Jameson if it hadn’t been already.
In an instant, her gaze met Jameson’s deep eyes. Her hands trembled, and she smudged lipstick on
her face.
Jameson smiled at her startled expression. “Ms. Taylor, I’m here to escort you home.”
