Jasper and Xavier returned to the hospital after aplishing their mission. He was eager to share the


    exciting news with Alyssa, but he did not summon her when he learned that she was in discussion with


    Julien in the hospital''s director''s office regarding Lauren''s treatment n.


    Instead, he quietly waited for Alyssa in the guest room next to the office.


    After some waiting, he finally saw Alyssa approaching him in light, bouncy steps. "Jasper!"


    Smiling, he did not have a chance to rise because Alyssa had settled on the space between his spread


    legs, cupping his face and kissing him passionately. Her rosy lips brushed against his, and she made


    out with him with an intense hunger.


    His breathing grew heavy. Feeling aroused, he pulled her into his arms and deepened the kiss.


    He finally let go of her when she struggled to catch a breath and moaned softly. Between heavy


    breaths, he caressed her round and firm rump. He remarked, "Darling, you''re acting weird."


    "What''s wrong?" She lifted his chin and looked at him with dewy eyes.


    "You''re so active suddenly. I have a feeling that you''re sucking up to me." He gently drew circles on her


    backside. Such a move might look perverse if done by someone else, but Jasper appeared sexy doing


    it, thanks to his alluring looks.


    "It''s not sucking up. It''s called a reward." She adjusted his rather loose tie with flushed cheeks. "I saw


    your actions at the press conference today. It was great—very effective. You did the right thing by


    throwing that test result in Javier''s face to shame him."


    "Too bad the news topped the trending topics and overshadowed the buzz around Zoe Harper." A


    dissatisfied gleam shed across his eyes.


    She snickered. "There are plenty of ways to punish Zoe, but what you did was the only best


    punishment for Javier and Betty."


    "The credit goes to you, not me." Looking up at her, he spoke in a husky voice," Lyse, had you not


    yed the test result on the screen, it wouldn''t be half as shocking and effective."


    She furrowed her brows in confusion. "Me? The screen? Jasper, what are you talking about? I did not


    y the result on any screen."


    He frowned as well. "Was that not you?"


    "Was that not you?" She redirected the question at him.


    He shook his head. "That wasn''t me."


    They exchanged looks as the passion in the air cooled down. They might have achieved the desirable


    result, but it was at the hands of a mysterious figure who offered help in secret.

    Is that a friend or foe?" The tip of her nose touched his. She threw out a question in a whisper.


    Looking troubled, he gently rubbed her waist. "I''ll look into it. We shall know soon."
