“Mr. Wells, we should lay low and not cause any commotion until the seller arrives.” Hearing that, Bucky gave in. “Go and pick out two young women for me.”
The two subordinates felt relieved but still could not figure out who saved Willow. Moreover, that person also discovered their tracking device! One had to know that the tracking device was almost impossible to find unless the one searching was a professional.
When Willow returned home, she acted like she always did before her parents. As soon as she returned to her room, only she knew what her mind was thinking. She took out her phone, and while she used to enjoy surfing through videos online, she now only wanted to text a particular person.
When she remembered her dispute with him today, she worried that sending him a message now would be like proving herself wrong. After repeatedly looking at her phone, she tossed it aside and grabbed a book. After reading a few pages, she realized she could not concentrate. Anyhow, she felt annoyed because she seemed unable to think about anything else besides Jasper.
It was the first time Willow felt so helpless. She used to stay up late reading a book and could even come up with many interesting ideas, but Jasper resembled a giant, taking up all her. thoughts now, “What is this? Why do I keep thinking about. him?” She hugged her head, feeling like crying.
Soon, she concluded that she was sick, and Jasper was her symptom. Then, she grabbed her phone again and typed a text. I apologize. for whatever I said to you today. If you’re willing to forgive me, just send me a smiling emoji.
After that, she closed her eyes and sent the text, but after she did, she began feeling frustrated again. All kinds of thoughts crowded. her mind. What if he doesn’t reply? What if he ignores my text? What if he thinks I’m a dishonorable woman? What if he thinks I’m infatuated with him?
In the meantime, the man was busy with something on his laptop. When he heard the notification tone, he looked at his phone and did nothing except hold his phone after reading the text, seeming to be controlling his emotions.
In the end, he set down his device and ignored it. On the other hand, Willow waited anxiously but received no reply after half an hour, just like what she had expected.

At that point, Willow started regretting her actions. I shouldn’t have sent that text. Am I not just humiliating myself? She covered her face, feeling embarrassed.
However, she soon concluded that she must have been lonely, which was why she needed a man to fill her heart. There are countless men on earth, so why should I dwell on Jasper? Also, Dad is surrounded by many excellent men, so there’s no way I can’t find someone my type. That’s right. From tomorrow onward, I’ll get Dad to introduce me to a few of them, or I can ask Jared as well.
Anyway, she had to get Jasper out of her mind and find someone emotionally valuable to her, one who was also passionate about her. During breakfast early the following morning, Elliot told the family that his friend’s son was coming to attend the banquet. Since the other party was prestigious, he had to send some bodyguards to pick him up.
“Dad, how about I go?” Willow volunteered herself. “You?” He was taken aback. When did his daughter become so enthusiastic about such things? “Yes, I’ll go. I just happen to be free, and he’s an important guest, right? So, it’d be more appropriate if I went.”
“Alright, then. Let her go. I think she’s got too much time on her hands,” Anastasia told her husband. Her daughter had been idle at home recently, so it was a good chance for her to interact with others and understand how to better deal with people.
“Sure! You can go, but remember. He’s our guest, so no funny business!” Elliot exhorted his daughter. “Dad, trust me. I will surely take good care of our guest.” She promised confidently. “I noticed your eyes seem red. Why did you stay up late last night?” asked Anastasia with furrowed brows.
Willow felt hopeless. If only she had been doing something late last night… But the truth was she could not sleep because of one man! She kept dazing until the early morning before. falling asleep.
She had to eliminate the cause of her illness and cure her anxiety. Therefore, she saw no problem in interacting with young men. “The usual… Binge-watching until late at night,” she lied and giggled.
“Oh, you! Seems like you do have a lot of time on your hands,” Anastasia chastised while looking at her daughter affectionately. Since the guest’s plane was due to land at 10.00AM, Willow left home after finishing her breakfast.
At the same time, another group of people was heading for the airport-Aimee and Jasper. That was because the customer Bucky was waiting for was due to arrive on the same flight. When Willow arrived, she entered a cafe she frequented because it was less crowded. Since it specialized in premium coffee and service, fewer tourists would visit here.
She found a seat beside the window as she could see all the customers coming and going from the lobby. It also came with a great view of the majestic and extraordinary architecture of the building.
Looking at her watch, Willow saw that there was still over half an hour before the plane arrived and began thinking about how she would pass the time. At that moment, she heard footsteps coming from outside the cafe. It seemed like more customers were coming in.
There were not many people in the cafe, to begin with, so the sudden addition of two more attracted her attention. When she glanced in that direction, her eyes widened as she stared at the two approaching the entrance in disbelief. You gotta be kidding me. Averna is such a massive city, but why do I keep bumping into him?
The same question also occurred to Jasper, who even suspected Willow had been following him. Otherwise, why would he bump into her at a cafe at the airport in a big city?
Meanwhile, Aimee noticed Willow and subconsciously glanced at Jasper’s expression. The man quickly averted his gaze and deliberately chose a seat furthest away from Willow. In addition, he sat behind a pillar so that he would not have to face her.
When Willow saw his deliberate action to avoid eye contact with her, she felt inexplicably breathless from anger. Did she annoy him so much that he did not even wish to look at her?
She had never received such treatment before, and a strong sense of self-doubt made her look at her attire. After some thought, she realized it had nothing to do with her outfit because that man simply disliked her!
Ever since they knew each other, she was just a troublemaker to him, causing him more hassle than he needed and even ruining his mission once. It could not be helped if he hated her.
Propping her chin on her palm, Willow sighed. She was already bored to tears, to begin with, but now, she was even more bored. Still, she turned her attention to the man, who was revealing his arm a little.
In the meantime, Aimee could see Willow from where she was seated, and from the corners of her eyes, she observed her disgruntled expression. A smirk tinged the edge of her lips before she faced the man working in front of her. “Would you like something to drink, honey?” She deliberately raised her voice, and Willow could hear her clearly in the quiet cafe.
“Whatever,” Jasper said nonchalantly. Sashaying, Aimee brought herself to the reception and ordered two coffees. When she returned to his side, she stopped next to him, crouched down, and got close to his face in front of Willow’s eyes.
With his quick reflexes, he interrupted her with his hand, and her kiss landed on the back of his hand. However, seated behind the pillar with her view blocked, Willow imagined that she had kissed him, and he had accepted it.
She could not help but take a few sharp breaths. Did I make a wrong guess? Are they more than just working partners but lovers as well? That woman is immaculate and fashionable, with a very aggressive and shrewd temperament. They’re working in the same office and even sharing the same room in a hotel. No matter how anyone else looks at it, they’re very intimate. Suddenly, she felt a tight wrench in her chest for some unknown reason, followed by a stuffy and painful sensation.
All her expressions were observed by Aimee, whom Jasper was watching, and she smiled triumphantly as she whispered into his ear, “What? Are you worried that Miss Presgrave will misunderstand us?”
“Shut up,” he growled, warning her. “I’m helping you out so that she’ll stop pestering you,” Aimee said with a smile. “Save it.” Then, he closed his laptop and rose to his feet. “I’m going to the bathroom.”
Willow saw that Jasper had stood up and went after him to the bathroom in the heat of the moment. At this sight, Aimee thought in annoyance, Miss Presgrave can’t seem to leave Jasper alone, eh? Trotting after him, Willow called, “Wait a minute, Jasper.”
Even so, he did not stop, and she had to follow him into the walkway leading to the bathrooms but lost sight of him after a few seconds. While she was in confusion, a pair of arms grabbed her out of the blue from the corner of the walkway and dragged her into a small storage room that happened to be at the side.
Barely able to catch her breath, Willow raised her head and met his deep, unreadable eyes staring at her. “What are you doing here?” he asked in a deep voice. Her eyebrows shot up. “I’m here to pick up someone.”
“I’m working. Don’t get in my way,” he warned. Biting her lower lip, she whined, “That’s because you didn’t reply to my messages. You could’ve at least replied to me after I apologized to you last night. Don’t you even have the time to do that?”
“Miss Presgrave, not everyone is your servant. Just because you texted me doesn’t mean I must reply to you.” He sneered with a soft snort.
Once again, Willow was tongue-tied, and blood rushed to her face at his sarcasm. She felt that the strength in her body was all sucked away by this man and started to lean back to rest against the wall. However, she did not realize she was still an arm’s length away from it.
“Ah!” It was a little late when she noticed that there was no wall behind her, and seeing that her head was about to make an impact against the concrete, Jasper extended his long arm and swiftly pulled her into his embrace..
Since he had a tall figure and was slightly leaning in, there was half a finger’s length between Willow’s red lips and his when he pulled her into his embrace. They almost pressed against each other..
She exhaled lightly, and the man’s breaths seemed to grow heavier as well. The two did not remove themselves right away. Instead, they maintained a sliver of distance in between. For Willow, she did not want to push him away, but she was scared to get close too. She feared that everything was just her imagination and that she was the clown here.
She looked up to see the man’s thick eyelashes forming a fan-like shade over his eyes. It was rare to see such thick eyelashes around these parts. The man released her first, and she quickly stepped back. In the small narrow space, their breaths could be heard clearly.
Just then, a mouse suddenly dashed out of nowhere, perhaps startled by the movements, and coincidentally ran up to Willow’s feet. The man’s sharp senses seemed to have foreseen it as he clasped his hand over her mouth to muffle her upcoming screams. Then, he carried her in his arms.
Willow was afraid at first, but at that moment, her butt was seated on the man’s firm arms. She was carried in the man’s embrace like a child, and his other hand covered her dainty mouth. There was an indescribable yet suggestive quality to their posture.
Willow swallowed as she licked her lips anxiously. However, her small tongue accidentally touched the man’s palm as well. In that instant, a force seemed to ram into the man’s heart and turn his breaths even heavier. He reached out and put her down before opening the door and ordering her, “Get out.”
She was chased out just like that. Of course, the man came out after her. He walked toward the men’s bathroom while she went to the women’s with a reddened face.
What is going on?! When Willow returned to the cafe, Jasper was already back. He was working on his laptop, and the woman seated opposite him was looking at her with an examining look. When she met the woman’s gaze, the woman even smiled at her.
