Jasper’s phone rang while driving, and he glanced at it before answering.
“Hello?” “How dare you fly solo again, you punk! How many times have I told
you?” Antoine scolded from the other end. “The mission is complete.”
“That still isn’t an excuse for you to leave your teammates behind. You should
know that they are an extra layer of security for you. They can provide support if
something happens to you.” Antoine was genuinely concerned about his safety.
“I've accumulated some leave days, haven't I, Uncle?”
“Why? Do you want to take a break?” “Can you sum up the days I've collected
over the last five years? I want to use it all up at once.”
“What?! Over the last five years?” “Yes, over the last five years.” “That means
you'll be away for three months!” “That's it? Give me another three months. I
want to take six months off! Jasper insisted.
“You rascal... Fine! Six months it is! What are you planning to do during your
break?” “I won't report anything from my personal time.” With that, he ended the
call, leaving Antoine frothing at the mouth.
By the time Jasper returned to the safe house, Aimee had already been notified
to report back. Of course, she had also received arrangements from the
organization as well. As Jasper’s leave had become effective immediately, he
didn’t need to return with her.
Her heart felt torn, aching, unwilling, and helpless, for everything but the heart
could be controlled in this world. Falling in love with someone was like being
intoxicated. If the love was reciprocated, there would be a cure. Contrariwise, the
poison would be lethal. “Have you decided to stay by her side, Jasper? Aimee
asked calmly, suppressing her heartache.
“Thank you for your hard work, Aimee. I have some personal things to take care
of next,” answered Jasper. To him, the young woman was both his subordinate
and his comrade. However, there was no romantic love.
Aimee suddenly closed her eyes, and tears: streamed down her face
uncontrollably. “Aimee, I appreciate your support in my work. You're a good
comrade and subordinate,’ said Jasper as he handed her a piece of tissue. “I
don’t want to be just your comrade or subordinate. I want...” Aimee reached out,
trying to embrace him.
Jasper immediately stepped back, leaving Aimee’s hand hanging in the air. She
bit her lip and withdrew her hand. Then, she turned around, grabbed her bag,
and quickly left the safe house. At that moment, she realized there could never
be a relationship between her and Jasper that even allowed for a hug.
Jasper sighed under his breath. He was. absolutely terrible at dealing with
emotions. While eating breakfast, Willow checked her emails only to choke when
she read a certain email. “Wait, has it started already?! How come I wasn’t
notified?!”
Just then, her phone rang, and she answered it. “Hello?” International Cultural
Heritage. “Willow, what have you been busy with lately? Why haven't you
responded?’ It was someone from the Bureau of International Cultural Heritage.
“I'm on break and didn’t see the email. Have you guys already departed?” “Yeah,
we're gathering right now. You should hurry up and join us. You can't be absent
from this expedition to Elysian Island.”
Of course, Willow couldn't afford to be absent. This was originally a cultural
heritage protection battle she had initiated within the organization. It was her
mission, and it all began a year ago when she found a piece of parchment inside
a domestic cultural relic.
