Since Jasper Milton was just trying to help her, Ste Grace decided to give in.


    He might get angry if she continued pushing his limits.


    She turned away and looked out the window, feeling very impetuous.


    It was the fear of uncertainties.


    Ste’s phone rang.


    She took her phone from her bag, it was Eli Wayne. She immediately answered it..


    “Ste where are you now? I escaped work and came to pick you up. It’s raining heavily,” Eli said astutely.


    Ste replied, “Can you go to the Skies Vi now? I will be there. Can you call me when you reach?”


    “Okay. See youter.” Eli quickly hung up.


    Ste felt relieved.


    Jasper still had his grim expression on, his eyes still dark and gloomy.


    He said calmly to Lieutenant Shine, “It would be a good time to train the soldiers with weather like this. Call for an emergency training in ten minutes. Make sure to take care of their safety and get the medics on standby.”Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    Ste paused.


    She suspected that Jasper had done it on purpose.


    Why did he have such a good hearing?


    Did he eavesdrop on her conversation?


    Looks like he knew about her and Eli.


    She should not get Eli into trouble.


    “Ayy, let’s not do that. It’s so dangerous,” Steined softly.


    Jasper gave Ste a serious look. “I should train their endurance now so that they can survive in the future.Is Inspector Grace trying to interfere in the military’s affair?”


    Once again, Ste muffled an iprehensible response.


    Why was Jasper like that?


    She got a little annoyed.


    After a while, Eli called and said, “Damn it. Our crazy chief called for an emergency training under such a heavy rain. There’s no humanity at all. I need to go for the training now. Good thing you didn’t do it with him …”


    Ste’s heart pounded.


    She didn’t want Jasper to know what had happened between them. She quickly interrupted her, “Eli, don’t worry. You can excuse yourself. Anyway, I’m back.I’m not going to leave anytime soon. We can meet up at any time.”


    “That’s the only thing we could do. You wouldn’t know how strict Jasper Milton is. No one has the audacity to speak loudly in front of him. I’ll stay in touch with you.” Eli hung up.


    Before Ste could put away her phone, Jasper turned to her. He stared into her eyes and asked, “What did you not do with me? What did she mean?”


    She could feel his breath beating down on her.


    Ste tried to keep herself calm.


    Jasper heard it.


    If she refused to answer, that would just tell him she was covering something up.


    She gave him a small smile and said, “You can take her words as they were.”


    “We…” Jasper’s eyes dimmed. “Did we sleep together?” he spat.


    Ste didn’t expect that he would ask this up front. She turned her face away and hid her eyes from him.


    Jasper caught on.“So that’s it.”


    Ste did not know how to respond to him. She was in a big mess. She closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.


    Her expertise in psychology told her not to lie out of guilt while her brain could not churn out a good answer.


    A lie often brings a person down.


    Ste looked into Jasper’s eyes and said, “Your skills were not memorable.”


    Jasper frowned, grabbed her chin and snapped, “What did you say?”


    “”Good thing you didn’t do it with him.”Doesn’t that sentence reveal a lot? Of course, if you are angry, I should rephrase. Your skills are superb and amazing.”


    Jasper frowned even more tightly. He did not feel right looking at her bright smile. He let her go and returned to his seat.


    Ste rubbed her face.


    The car fell into a dead silence.


    She would not say anything lest she reveal her guilt.


    Watch your mouth and actions,that’s how you live to a ripe old age.


    They’ve finally arrived at the Skies Vi.


    Lieutenant Shine held an umbre and came over to Jasper.


    Jasper looked at Ste,his eyes still cold. “Go get her.”


    “Yes, sir.”


    Lieutenant Shine came over to get Ste.


    Jasper walked in the rain.


    The heavy rain beat down on him, and yet he managed to look cool and elegant.


    There was something poetic about it.


    Ste felt touched and tears started welling up in her eyes.


    Even now when he had lost his memory and became callous, deep downhe was still as caring as ever.


    Ste’s heart crumbled a little. She took a deep breath to calm herself down and followed Lieutenant Shine to the entrance.


    Jasper went in. There were a few pairs of slippers at the door.


    Judging from their sizes, they were all men.


    She might be the first woman here.


    Even if she wasn’t,she was probably one of the first.


    Ste lowered her head, put on her slippers and went in.


    Jasper poured some water into a cup. Without looking at her, he asked calmly, “Would you like coffee or juice?”


    “Water is fine,” Ste said.


    Jasper handed her a ss of water.


    Ste took it, never dropping her poker face.


    Jasper put on a cold, business-like demeanor. “How much do you charge for your service? Name your price.”


    Ste took a sip of water and put down the ss. “When I was in the United States, I charged two thousand dors per hour.”


    “Sounds reasonable. I’ll pay you monthly. Let’s get things started then.” Jasper walked towards the study room.


    Ste stared at his back.Their rtionship was clear now, both publicly and privately. They had simply entered a mutually beneficial economic agreement.


    This way, they owed each other nothing.


    Ste followed him to his study room.


    It was clean and tidy.


    Navy models covered the table.


    He also had an extensive collection of books.


    There was a military book on the tablewith a pen in the middle.


    Making notes as he read, his habits had not changed one bit.


    Ste sat in front of him.


    “Let’s start,” Jasper rasped.


    “What do you think is your problem?” Ste asked softly while knocking on the table gently.


    “For the past three years, I have been dreaming about a woman. I could never see her clearly, but she has always been there. I initially thought she was my girlfriend, but I found out she was notter.”


    “How did you know she wasn’t?” Ste asked.


    “She was growling in pain.” Jasper looked at Ste’s hand and said,“I also saw that she broke her little finger.”
