Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 706 Her Expectations

When Mandy wasn't attending classes, she spent her time working at Mystique.

Jasper hadn't made an appearance, so she carried on with her usual duties as a greeter. If he did show up, she'd be assigned to Room 303.

A month flew by, and still, there was no sign of him.

During the holiday, Mandy originally planned to work as a private tutor, but she couldn't stop thinking about Jasper. So, she decided to take on a full-time position at Mystique. Upon knowing that, Skyler suspected Mandy might have feelings for Jasper.

However, they were in different worlds-the wealthy son and the ordinary girl-and the odds weren't in her favor.

Still, Skyler didn't say anything, simply agreeing to let her work for two months full-time.

Despite this, she couldn't shake the disappointment, as Jasper still hadn't come.

One day, the young men who had partied with Jasper in Room 303 showed up. Unable to help herself, Mandy asked them what Jasper had been up to.

They laughed and joked.

"Oh, Jasper? He's been on vacation with Zoren and the rest. Who knows where they went?"

"I know. I saw his Instagram post yesterday. He's out on the prairie with Zoren, Liam, Zoren's cousin, and Hayden."
