Sheryl heard the n"Lyse" clearly. Alarm bells started ringing in her head.
Didn't Justin warn that this type of medication could interfere with a person's emotional processing?

He didn't realize that her nechoed because he couldn't et her.
While Jasper stood lost in thought, soft hands suddenly glided across his broad shoulders and around his neck. A light fragrance drifted to his nose.
Looking down, he met Sheryl's eyes, filled with tenderness. The intensity in his dark gaze dulled immediately.
"It looks like you're not too familiar with tying neckties, Mr. Jasper." Sheryl traced her fingers gently around his dark gray necktie. In a captivatingly sweet voice, she offered, "Lethelp you. Mr. Javier and the others will arrive soon. It won't be nice for them to see you like this." Even though she was in heels, Jasper was still taller than her. She tiptoed intentionally so that they could lean closer to one another. Their breaths intertwined, and their noses were almost touching.
Jasper frowned slightly. He was about to speak up when heavy footsteps sounded at the door.

Mr. Jasper didn't seem to know how to do up his necktie, so I was just helping him out a little." Julien smirked coldly and stormed right toward Jasper.
In the next second, he raised his hand and slapped Jasper's face.
Jasper's head snapped to the side, a burning red handprint blossoming on his cheek.
Sheryl immediately stepped between them.
Sheryl stood in front of Jasper immediately. "Dr. Lovelace! How could you hit someone for no reason?" "Bugger off. I'm not a gentleman." Julien's face fell. He touched the roof of his mouth with his tongue. "Say another word and I'll hit you as well!" "Why, you-" In frustration, the color drained from Sheryl's face. Julien shoved her aside roughly.
"Jasper, it's only been a few days since you woke up. Are you that desperate to replace your old lover with someone new?" Julien's eyes reddened with anger. He was burning with fury. "Did that small issue with your brain awaken that jerk within you? You're having an emotional disorder, not amnesia. Don't you know that Ms. Alyssa Taylor is your girlfriend? "Even if you no longer have any love for her, don't you still have your morals? How could you be getting involved with another woman in broad daylight when you have an actual girlfriend? Are you even human?"
