Back in the country. Willow had a visitor today; it was her senior who had come to
see her. Willow insisted that she join her for her nephew's one-month birthday
celebration before she left.
“Willow, I feel so blessed! You've taken care of everything throughout my stay
here,” her senior exclaimed while standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the
presidential suite.
“No need to worry about details like that with me, Mae. You took great care of me
as well when I first started in this line of work! Now it's my turn to be the gracious
host,” Willow replied. She had discussed it with her father, and she could stay at
the hotel to spend a few days with her friend before the baby’s banquet, which
was still a week away.
“Mae, there's a fantastic Celonese restaurant downstairs. Let me take you there
for some delicious food.” “Okay, let's go!” Mae Yang agreed. She was a local, but
she was curious about everything in her home country as she had grown up
abroad.
Willow and Mae then arrived at the restaurant.. When they were happily
discussing something interesting, Willow's gaze suddenly wandered to a private
room from which several people emerged one after another. The first group.
consisted of a middle-aged man flanked by two tall and elegant women. Being
completely oblivious to the other customers of the restaurant, they were
unconcerned even when they drew the attention of everyone in the place.
Willow was also one of those people who furrowed her brows. Just as she was
about to avert her gaze and pay no mind to the man, she unexpectedly caught
sight of a couple walking out hand in hand from behind.
The spoon in Willow's hand slipped, falling right into her coffee cup and splashing
a few drops of scalding liquid. And yet, she didn't even react. Her eyes widened
as she stared at the couple who had just emerged, her gaze fixating on the man.
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 garbbed 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!
