Chapter 25
The tension between Jasper and Alyssa escalates with each passing moment, as she continues to assert her dominance in this game of wills. She has no intention of making things easy for him, and Jasper, despite his initial frustration, is now more determined than ever to see this through.
Alyssa’s indifferent response to Jasper’s persistence reveals her confidence. She’s not just a businesswoman; she’s playing a psychological game with him, turning his every attempt into a challenge. As she prepared her plan for the meeting, Alyssa was already thinking several steps ahead. Instead of directly facing him, she used her influence to manipulate the situation, sending in a substitute to test his patience and resolve.
When Mia enters the scene, Alyssa’s instructions are clear, and she’s ready to watch the situation unfold. Mia’s nervousness, contrasted with Alyssa’s calm command, adds an interesting layer to the dynamic. Alyssa is testing the waters, not just with Jasper but with how well her plan can be executed, revealing her control over even the smallest details.
Jasper, on the other hand, is starting to realize that this is no ordinary confrontation. Alyssa’s refusal to meet him head-on, the use of the elevator stunt, and the substitute all signal to him that she’s not interested in a straightforward discussion. He’s been used to controlling situations, to being in the driver’s seat, but now, he finds himself second-guessing every move.
His irritation grows, and the idea that Alyssa would make things difficult just to test him only fuels his resolve. The stairs, the delays—none of it is enough to deter him. Instead, it only cements his belief that she’s playing games, and he won’t back down.
The clash between their personalities is undeniable. While Jasper is a strategic thinker in business, Alyssa is equally calculating and willing to play the long game. Both are accustomed to getting their way, but this time, the stakes are personal as well as professional.
