She knew the man. It was Jasper. She had bumped into the man she thought she would never see again in her life just half a month later at a hotel in her home country. The only difference today was that he was holding hands with a striking woman as they walked toward the restaurant’s exit like a couple.
“Willow?” Mae looked at Willow in confusion as she attempted to wipe the spilled coffee off her hand with a tissue. “What are you looking at?” Without waiting for Mae to wipe the coffee away, Willow suddenly stood up in a hurry. “Mae, I need to step out for a moment. Wait for me here.”
As soon as she said that, she rushed toward the entrance of the building without her purse. She noticed that the elevator doors were about to close after glancing around. “Wait!” she shouted.
Someone kindly pressed the elevator button for her, and the doors opened again. It was then that the man standing in the corner was revealed. At that moment, he was smoothing out the hair of his companion beside him. However, when his gaze fell upon the woman rushing toward them, his hand came to an abrupt stop. Even his face froze as a hint of confusion flickered in his eyes.
Willow managed to squeeze herself into the elevator cabin. She chose to stand in a direction opposite Jasper and leaned against the wall so that she could look directly at him.
Jasper glanced at her briefly before he looked. at the woman beside him. His companion also stole a glance at Willow. She keenly noticed that the beautiful woman had been fixated on the man by her side.
It was not the look of someone who has spotted an attractive guy; instead, it resembled the expression one would have when they saw someone they had feelings for. It was a mixture of surprise, disappointment, and a ton of other emotions.
Who is she? Why did she come after us? “Excuse us,” one of the beautiful women whom the other man was hugging called out in a melodious voice when they reached a certain floor.
Willow stepped aside upon hearing that. However, after the three individuals left, Jasper grabbed his companion’s hand and exited as well, leaving Willow feeling flustered and at a loss as she stood in the elevator by herself.
“It really is him,” Willow murmured to herself. She had initially thought she was seeing things, but the man was undoubtedly Jasper Wyatt.
He has a beautiful woman with him, and they are staying at this hotel. They must be sharing a room!
Willow couldn’t believe the absurdity of the situation as they met again. It seems that he has a girlfriend. Sh*t! Why didn’t he tell me? Willow sighed. Despite feeling moisture in her eyes, she held back her tears and pressed the button to return to the floor of the buffet restaurant.
At the same time, Aimee Hawkins, who had just entered a luxurious presidential suite, turned around to face the man beside her. “Jasper, do you know the lady who got into the elevator earlier?”
“I don’t,” Jasper immediately replied while he moved toward the couch and picked up his phone to start working. Aimee was still somewhat skeptical when she sat across from him and continued, “But I feel like she knows you.” “She got the wrong guy, then,’ he answered. without looking up..
“Is that so? She’s very beautiful. She feels like a refined lady from a rich family. She is not Miss Presgrave, whom you saved the other time, is she?” Aimee managed to become a member of the special force because of her sharp. instincts.
He remained silent, but she still wanted to get the most accurate answer. In the end, she smiled and commented, “I’m sure I can find out her identity if I look into the hotel’s guestlist.”
“That’s enough. This is our mission. It has nothing to do with any unrelated person.. Regardless of who she is, it’s none of my concern, Jasper warned sternly, lifting his head.
His reaction only hurt Aimee even more. So, she is the lady from the Presgrave Family! What a coincidence for us to meet her on our very first day here.
Now that Aimee had seen for herself how beautiful Willow was, she finally understood why Jasper couldn’t forget Willow even after the mission had ended. Any man would be captivated by such a delicate and charming beauty.
“I should be the one telling you that, Jasper. We’re here for work. Even if you come across Miss Presgrave, you mustn’t jeopardize our plan or have any private contact with her,” Aimee reminded him. Because I’ll get jealous if you do.
Even though she hadn’t won Jasper’s affection, Aimee hoped that he wouldn’t let any other. woman have his heart either. She understood the man well. Once he fell for someone, that person would become someone he would. never forget.
When Willow returned to the restaurant, Mae noticed the immediate change in her. Willow, who was as bubbly as could be just moments ago, now appeared to be a sorrowful maiden. “What happened, Willow?” Mae asked with concern. Willow shook her head. “Nothing. I just saw someone I know.”
“Is it someone you like?” Mae couldn’t help but ask upon hearing that. Willow had never told anyone that she had feelings for Jasper, but now, in response to Mae’s question, she found herself nodding involuntarily. “Yes! He saved my life.”
“It’s okay. It’s considered fate as long as you two have crossed paths. You will meet again,” Mae comforted her. Willow smiled at Mae. ‘Thank you for consoling me. I feel much better now.”
She thought to herself that Jasper must not be here for her. He was probably on a mission. And as a special agent, he could assume any. role while carrying out his tasks. Was that woman from earlier his partner? Were they pretending to be a couple? Willow felt a sense of relief at the thought.
She truly hoped she could encounter him once more in the hotel and have a conversation with him. At the very least, it was good enough if she could know he had recovered from his injuries.
After returning to her room, Willow found herself zoning out while replaying the scene where she and Jasper met earlier. She was overjoyed to see him, but she also knew she couldn’t disturb him while he was on a mission.
This conflicting desire to see him yet not daring to do so was truly tormenting her. Thus, Willow decided to book a room next to Jasper’s. She proceeded to call the front desk, but they wouldn’t disclose Jasper’s room number. However, that didn’t pose a problem for Willow.
The reason for that was that this was a hotel owned by the Manson Group, which also meant that this was the hotel that belonged to her uncle, Nigel. As such, she called his number directly. After a series of requests, Aimee managed to find out which room Jasper was staying in. Even though he had booked the room under a different name, the surveillance footage revealed his hotel room.
Nigel couldn’t resist his niece’s pleading, so he made an exception this one time and agreed to her request. After all, he knew her niece wouldn’t do anything reckless.
That was how Willow ended up booking the room next to Jasper’s. As she carried her belongings downstairs, she deliberately. glanced at the door beside her as she wondered if he was on the other side of the door.
A faint smile crept onto Willow’s lips at the thought. Now that she was only a door away from him, there was nothing else she could ask for.
Little did Willow know that Jasper had already set up several hidden cameras in the corridor. At this moment, he was monitoring the movements in the corridor and naturally caught sight of her entering the room next to his.
He also noticed Willow’s slightly smug expression, which clearly indicated that she had come for him. Jasper’s eyes narrowed for a few seconds, seemingly with a hint of resignation. “Did you catch anything in the corridor?” Aimee walked over and asked.
“No,” he replied. Dressed in a tight-fitting black outfit, Aimee couldn’t help but sit down beside him. “Jasper, we have plenty of time. Let’s enjoy life. together!”
As she spoke, her hand naturally moved to rest on his shoulder in an enticing manner. Jasper’s gaze turned extremely cold as he glanced at her hand. However, his tone was even more chilling when he growled, “Move.”
Aimee, feeling a bit annoyed, sat back opposite him. “What am I lacking, Jasper? That little lady has captured your attention today, but I don’t think I’m any worse than her. Pray tell, do you prefer younger women?”
Jasper was 27, and so was Aimee. She exuded the mature charm that a woman her age should possess, and she thought that Jasper would be attracted to that. “It’s work hours. We shouldn’t discuss personal matters, Jasper replied with his eyebrows pulled together into a frown..
“Stop pretending. If it’s about not discussing personal matters, why were you hesitant to be intimate with me in front of Miss Presgrave just now? You were clearly not in work mode.” Aimee saw right through him.
Jasper remained silent upon hearing that. Just then, he caught sight of Willow leaving in the surveillance video. She had changed into a beautiful outfit and was heading toward the leisure area on the same floor. Although there was a cafe there, their target was also present -a dangerous arms dealer who had a fondness for women and enjoyed harassing any female who caught his eye..
And yet, Willow was now approaching that place. Given how beautiful she was, it could spell trouble if the arms dealer took notice of her. Jasper closed the surveillance video and turned to Aimee. “I need to go out for a while.” “I’ll come with.”
“That’s not necessary,” he replied and closed his laptop before getting up and stepping out the door. Willow found it boring to stay alone in her room. Besides, she longed for a chance encounter with Jasper here. If she stayed in her room, she knew she would surely miss the opportunity. Each floor of the hotel had a leisure area where one could enjoy coffee and the scenery.
She decided to try her luck there. What if Jasper is there?! she thought excitedly. Little did she know that Jasper wasn’t there, but the man had her every move under surveillance.
If Willow were to discover that she was being monitored by Jasper, she would surely feel embarrassed. After all, who would want to live under someone else’s watchful eye, especially when it was the gaze of a man she felt drawn to? What if she made a fool of herself only to have him witness it all?
As Willow entered the cafe, she scanned her surroundings with a tinge of disappointment. It seemed that Jasper wasn’t there. However, since she had come this far, she decided to order a cup of coffee and find a seat on her own. Meanwhile, the arms dealer, Bucky Wells, was having coffee with his two henchmen when he noticed the gorgeous beauty sitting at the opposite table.
She was unbelievably stunning, with her long hair cascading down. As a gentle breeze from. outside lifted her silky strands, it revealed a face that exuded both melancholy and icy allure. Her complexion was flawless and as delicate as a petal.
And there she was, exuding an immaculate aura and an inherent elegance that captivated even Bucky, momentarily rendering him spellbound.
His two subordinates turned around to glance at Willow. When they saw through their boss’ thoughts, they asked, “Mr. Wells, do you like that chick?”
“F*ck yeah. She’s exactly my type,” he replied, his eyes looking like that of a hunter’s. “Mr. Wells, as long as you like her, I guarantee she’ll be your prey tonight!”
“Good. I want her tonight.” Bucky was a wealthy businessman. With his money, he could make his subordinates do anything for him. Since the boss had chosen his target, the two henchmen were determined to deliver the boss’ prey to his room.
