Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Xavier continued, "What about you, Mr. Beckett? What will you reward me with?"
"Reward you? Isn't that your job as a secretary?" Jasper's voice carried a lazy tone, like a just-fed lion.
Xavier blushed intensely from his wild imagination. "W-Well, Madam has rewarded me. Couples should be on the same page,
right? Aren't you afraid that she'll say you're stingy?"
"Who do you think you're threatening?"
"No, no! I wouldn't dare." Sweating, Xavier immediately straightened his posture.
"You haven't had a break for a long time. I'll give you an additional ten days of annual leave. Go wherever you want and enjoy
yourself."
"Um... Mr. Beckett, I'm a bachelor. Even if you gave me annual leave, I wouldn't know what to do."
Xavier grinned. "Mr. Beckett, how about... increasing my bonus? I won't take any more annual leave in the future. I'll work for you
all year round, day and night, with my heart and soul. I'll be your and Madam's pet!"
Jasper was surprised that Xavier was aiming for a bigger bonus.
"Are you not satisfied with your million-dollar salary? Apart from the shareholders in Beckett Group, who else has a higher salary
than you?"
Jasper sneered. "What kind of pet are you? So shameless."

"Mr. Beckett, even though I'm single right now, I still need to save some money for my future wedding. I've been running around
for you, even doing FBI work.
"I'm so busy that I don't even have time to date. I've dedicated my entire youth to Beckett Group. Can't you be a little generous
and considerate to this pitiful and unloved bachelor?"
Since Jasper and Alyssa reconciled, they had been happily in love. Xavier knew that Jasper was like a loving father now—asking
for a raise at this time was perfect.
Before Jasper could speak, Alyssa's gentle and sweet voice suddenly came through. It seemed like the two of them were so
close that even her breath was distinctly audible.
"Don't be so stingy, Jasper. Xavier rarely makes a request. Can't you agree to it?"
Xavier was shocked to hear that Alyssa was acting coquettishly with Jasper.
Her adorable voice made them feel like electricity was running through them. Who could bear it?
Sure enough, Jasper's breath became heavy and deep. His low and charismatic voice became hoarse as he said, "I agree. I'll
agree to whatever my sweet Lyse says."
Suddenly, the call ended.
Xavier stared at the darkened screen, scratching his head in confusion. "So, are you giving me a raise or not?"
In the police car transporting Daisy, Cyrus occupied the front passenger seat. The vehicle swiftly proceeded toward the police
station.

With no cameras or media around, Daisy revealed her true nature. She stopped pretending to be pitiful and started yelling like a
madwoman.
"How dare you arrest me? Do you know who I am? I'm the heiress of the Schmidt family! My father is Victor Schmidt! Do you
have any idea how much Schmidt Group contributes to the annual GDP of Solana City? How dare a bunch of nobodies like you
arrest me? Do you think I can't get you fired?"
Sitting in the front, Cyrus sneered and tilted his head to clean his ear as if he wanted to clear all her nonsense out of his ear.
With a firm hold on Daisy's arm, the female police officer warned her in anger, "Behave yourself! If you don't, I'll charge you with
assaulting an officer. That'll add another charge to your file."
"Ptui! Do you think I'm afraid of you people?"
Since her upper body was restrained, Daisy used her lower body. She madly kicked the backrest of the front seat.
"Which police station are you from? Tell me your name! How dare you arrest me? The Schmidt family will make you pay!"
"Alright, you better let your dad and brothers come quickly. I can't wait."
As Cyrus turned around slowly, he glanced at her with disdain and smiled mockingly. "My last name is Taylor. Cyrus Taylor."
Daisy stared blankly the next second, with the hair all over her body standing on end.
