Willow couldn't believe the absurdity of the situation as they met again. It seems that he has a girlfriend. Sh*t!
Why didn’t he tell me? Willow sighed. Despite feeling moisture in her eyes, she held back her tears and pressed
the button to return to the floor of the buffet restaurant.
At the stime, Aimee Hawkins, who had just entered a luxurious presidential suite, turned around to face the
man beside her. “Jasper, do you know the lady who got into the elevator earlier?”
“I don’t,” Jasper immediately replied while he moved toward the couch and picked up his phone to start working.
Aimee was still somewhat skeptical when she sat across from him and continued, “But | feel like she knows you.”
“She got the wrong guy, then,” he answered. without looking up..
“Is that so? She's very beautiful. She feels like a refined lady from a rich family. She is not Miss Presgrave, whom
you saved the other time, is she?” Aimee managed to beca member of the special force because of her
sharp. instincts.

He remained silent, but she still wanted to get the most accurate answer. In the end, she smiled and
commented, “I'm sure | can find out her identity if | look into the hotel's guestlist.”
“That's enough. This is our mission. It has nothing to do with any unrelated person.. Regardless of who she is, it's
none of my concern, Jasper warned sternly, lifting his head.
His reaction only hurt Aimee even more. So, she is the lady from the Presgrave Family! What a coincidence for us
to meet her on our very first day here.
Now that Aimee had seen for herself how beautiful Willow was, she finally understood why Jasper couldn't forget
Willow even after the mission had ended. Any man would be captivated by such a delicate and charming beauty.
“I should be the one telling you that, Jasper. We're here for work. Even if you cacross Miss Presgrave, you
mustn’t jeopardize our plan or have any private contact with her,” Aimee reminded him. Because I'll get jealous
if you do.
Even though she hadn't won Jasper’s affection, Aimee hoped that he wouldn't let any other. woman have his
heart either. She understood the man well. Once he fell for someone, that person would becsomeone he
would. never forget.
When Willow returned to the restaurant, Mae noticed the immediate change in her. Willow, who was as bubbly as
could be just moments ago, now appeared to be a sorrowful maiden. “What happened, Willow?” Mae asked with
concern. Willow shook her head. “Nothing. I just saw someone | know.”
“Is it someone you like?” Mae couldn't help but ask upon hearing that. Willow had never told anyone that she
had feelings for Jasper, but now, in response to Mae's question, she found herself nodding involuntarily. “Yes! He
saved my life.”
“It’s okay. It’s considered fate as long as you two have crossed paths. You will meet again,” Mae comforted her.
Willow smiled at Mae. ‘Thank you for consoling me. | feel much better now.”

She thought to herself that Jasper must not be here for her. He was probably on a mission. And as a special
agent, he could assany. role while carrying out his tasks. Was that woman from earlier his partner? Were
they pretending to be a couple? Willow felt a sense of relief at the thought.
She truly hoped she could encounter him once more in the hotel and have a conversation with him. At the very
least, it was good enough if she could know he had recovered from his injuries.
After returning to her room, Willow found herself zoning out while replaying the scene where she and Jasper met
earlier. She was overjoyed to see him, but she also knew she couldn’t disturb him while he was on a mission.
This conflicting desire to see him yet not daring to do so was truly tormenting her. Thus, Willow decided to book
a room next to Jasper’s. She proceeded to call the front desk, but they wouldn't disclose Jasper’s room number.
However, that didn’t pose a problem for Willow.
The reason for that was that this was a hotel owned by the Manson Group, which also meant that this was the
hotel that belonged to her uncle, Nigel. As such, she called his number directly. After a series of requests, Aimee
managed to find out which room Jasper was staying in. Even though he had booked the room under a different
name, the surveillance footage revealed his hotel room.
