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 nonchntly. 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 kissnded on the back of his hand.


    However, seated behind the pir with her view blocked, Willow imagined that she had kissed him, and


    he had epted 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 immacte 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?”Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    “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 hisptop 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 youst 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 littlete 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..
