Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 704 What's So Inconvenient?

"Alright."

Turning around, Skyler noticed Mandy standing at the door.

After a moment's thought, Skyler signaled the supervisor to let Mandy go up.

"Her? She's never been there before. I'm worried she might offend him."

Skyler smirked. "She's different from the others."

It was the perfect chance.

If Mandy messed up, she'd be fired right away.

If Jasper liked her, she could potentially become someone who could approach him in the future.

Either way, everything rested on how well she seized this opportunity.

The supervisor nodded and made the necessary arrangements.

Mandy made her way to Room 303, not knowing that it was all a test set by her superior.

Carrying the tray of wine and fruit, she knocked and entered the room, unaware she was being used as bait.

Inside, Jasper sat on the couch, smoking and distracted by his phone.

At first, he didn't pay attention to who had entered until Mandy set the wine on the table and said, "Your wine is here. Do you need anything else?" Upon hearing her voice, Jasper looked up.
