Female Novel
Chapter 1984
Back in the country.
Willow had a visitor today; it was her senior who had come to see her. Willow insisted that she join herfor 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 seniorexclaimed 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 firststarted in this line of work! Now it’s my turn to be the gracious host,” Willow replied. She had discussedit with her father, and she could stay at the hotel to spend a few days with her friend before the baby’sbanquet, which was still a week away.
“Mae, there’s a fantastic Celonese restaurant downstairs. Let me take you there for some deliciousfood.”
“Okay, let’s go!” Mae Yang agreed. She was a local, but she was curious about everything in her homecountry as she had grown up abroad.
Willow and Mae then arrived at the restaurant. When they were happily discussing somethinginteresting, Willow’s gaze suddenly wandered to a private room from which several people emergedone after another. The first group consisted of a middle-aged man flanked by two tall and elegantwomen. Being completely oblivious to the other customers of the restaurant, they were unconcernedeven 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 gazeand pay no mind to the man, she unexpectedly caught sight of a couple walking out hand in hand frombehind.
The spoon in Willow’s hand slipped, falling right into her coffee cup and splashing a few drops ofscalding liquid. And yet, she didn’t even react. Her eyes widened as she stared at the couple who hadjust 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 laterat a hotel in her home country. The only difference today was that he was holding hands with a strikingwoman 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 handwith 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 tostep 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. Shenoticed 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 theman standing in the corner was revealed. At that moment, he was smoothing out the hair of hiscompanion beside him. However, when his gaze fell upon the woman rushing toward them, his handcame 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 oppositeJasper 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 aglance at Willow. She keenly noticed that the beautiful woman had been fixated on the man by herside.
It was not the look of someone who has spotted an attractive guy; instead, it resembled the expressionone 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 melodiousvoice when they reached a certain floor.
Willow stepped aside upon hearing that. However, after the three individuals left, Jasper grabbed hiscompanion’s hand and exited as well, leaving Willow feeling flustered and at a loss as she stood in theelevator by herself.
“It really is him,” Willow murmured to herself. She had initially thought she was seeing things, but theman was undoubtedly Jasper Wyatt.
He has a beautiful woman with him, and they are staying at this hotel. They must be sharing a room!novelbin
