Chapter 707 Hairband
Jasper looked at the man and asked, "Why not introduce me to someone?"
The man chuckled and replied, "Oh, please, no one on my list is good enough for you." Zoren joined in, teasing, "Tired of the usual? Going for something more low-key now?"
Jasper grinned. "It doesn't matter if they're flashy or simple. I'm staying single for a while."
Liam couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Alright, alright," Zoren said, waving it off.
Mandy stood nearby, quietly listening to their playful chatter.
Even though Jasper made it seem like a joke, who really knew what he thought deep down?
His words were just for amusement.
She was just an observer, knowing her place and staying within her boundaries.
After the dinner, Mandy cleaned up the private room. While tidying up, she noticed something wedged between the couch cushions—a light violet hairband. She picked it up and examined it closely.
It looked expensive, and was probably made of real silk.
As she studied it, a sense of familiarity washed over her.
After thinking for a moment, she realized she had seen a girl in a photo with Jasper on Instagram, wearing the same hairband tied in a ponytail.
It was exactly where Jasper had been sitting earlier.
Clearly, the hairband had fallen from his pocket.
Uncertain of what to do with it, Mandy folded the hairband and kept it with her, just in case Jasper came looking for it later.
After finishing her cleaning, she was about to leave when her supervisor approached.
"Did you find anything in the room that belongs to Mr. Jasper?"
Mandy paused for a moment and answered, "Yes."
"What did you find?"
"A hairband. It should be his."
The supervisor reached out. "Let me take a look."
Mandy pulled the hairband from her pocket and handed it to the supervisor, who examined it for a few seconds.
"Just this? I thought it might be something more valuable. Anyway, Mr. Jasper is in the parking lot waiting for it. You better take it to him quickly." "Alright."
When Mandy arrived at the parking lot, she saw Jasper leaning casually against his car, smoking.
She glanced down at the hairband in her hand, took a breath, and walked over. "Here's your belonging," she said, handing it to him.
Jasper stubbed out his cigarette and took the hairband from her.
"Where'd you find this?" he asked.
"It was between the couch cushions where you were sitting."
Jasper examined the hairband carefully, almost as if he was concerned it might've gotten dirty.
Mandy noticed something rare in his
expression-a slight hint of worry
Jasper usually came across as carefree and unruly at Mystique, but now it was clear that the hairband meant a lot to him.
Even though it wasn't her place, Mandy couldn't help but ask, "This hairband ... it belongs to a girl, doesn't it?"
"Yes," Jasper casually responded, opening his car door. "Thanks for finding it and keeping it clean."
"You're welcome," Mandy said, then
added, "But if it's so important to
you, maybe next time don't carry it around so carelessly. You might not be as lucky in finding it
Jasper smiled slightly. "You're right."

"Take care."
As Jasper's car pulled away, Mandy stood there watching.novelbin
If she still couldn't see his attitude, she would be too foolish.
It was obvious that Jasper didn't care about her, as he rather cared about a hairband. She understood her place. It was time to let go of any fantasies she'd held onto.
From that point on, Mandy continued to work at Mystique. But this time, she willingly gave up her exclusive rights to Room 303.
"Why are you giving it up?" her
manager asked, visibly annoyed.¿Do you know how much effort I put in to get you into that room? You've got a
good thing going, and now you want to walk away from it?"
In Skyler's eyes, Mandy either didn't understand the opportunity she had or she was too proud for her good.
Who did she think she was?
It was a coveted opportunity that others couldn't beg for, but she rejected it.
In truth, if it hadn't been for her connection to Jasper, Skyler would never have given her such an opportunity in the first place, as she didn't follow the hidden rules.
During her time managing Room 303, Mandy had made a hefty commission of 90 thousand just from the last time Jasper had stored wine there.
