Chapter 2280
Night of Destiny
And there she was, exuding an immaculate aura and an inherent elegance that captivated even Bucky,
momentarily rendering him spellbound.
His two subordinates turned around to glance at Willow. When they saw through their bossâ thoughts,
they asked, âMr. Wells, do you like that chick?â
âF*ck yeah. Sheâs exactly my type,â he replied, his eyes looking like that of a hunterâs. âMr. Wells, as
long as you like her, I guarantee sheâll be your prey tonight!â
âGood. I want her tonight.â Bucky was a wealthy businessman. With his money, he could make his
subordinates do anything for him. Since the boss had chosen his target, the two henchmen were
determined to deliver the bossâ prey to his room.
And so, someone secretly snapped pictures of Willow with their phone. After taking a few front-facing
shots, they exchanged a knowing glance. They were determined to get her at any cost tonight.
At that very moment, Jasper appeared at the entrance of the restaurant. Dressed impeccably in a
tailored suit, he possessed a good physique-slim when clothed but fit when naked.
Willow was lost in her thoughts when she suddenly heard a familiar male voice ordering. Surprised, she
turned her head, and her heart promptly skipped a beat.
Heavens! She had actually bumped into Jasper, who had also arrived. Willow quickly composed
herself, hoping to create a fortuitous encounter.
However, just as she was about to wave Jasper over to join her, she realized that he had completely
ignored her. Instead, he elegantly sipped his coffee and paid her no attention.
The contrast between Willowâs expectations and reality hit her hard. Did he really not see me, or is he
choosing not to see me?
At that moment, Willowâs phone chimed as she had received a message. Even though she was not in
the mood to check the message, she still glanced at it and saw the words, âI canât meet you right now.â
A glimmer of joy sparkled in Willowâs beautiful eyes as she looked across at the man opposite her,
holding the very phone that he had sent her the message with. âHow did you get my phone number?
Willow asked him.
âI have my ways, the man wrote back. She paused for a moment, almost forgetting that Jasper was an
international secret agent with the ability to disable an entire surveillance system.
âSo, are you working right now? Is that woman who was with you earlier your colleague or your
girlfriend? Willow started chatting with him on the phone.
âColleague,â he replied. The corners of Willowâs mouth curled up. It looks like Iâm right! How could an
insensitive guy like him possibly have a girlfriend? Ha! She felt delighted and, with her chin resting on
her hand, she stared at the man.
As she continued to gaze, a message notification interrupted her. She couldnât help but glance at the
message. âStop staring at me.â A blush crept up on Willowâs cheeks.
Does he think Iâm infatuated with him?
âIs it a crime to look at you? Indeed, she felt a bit indignant. This man never held back on embarrassing
her. âNo more looking, he commanded.
Because his target was still present, Jasper couldnât stay here for too long, nor could he let the target
know that he knew Willow.
âLeave the cafe quickly and return to your room. Donât come out unless necessary, he warned. Upon
reading this warning, Willow retorted, âCan we stay in touch anytime?â
Even if they couldnât meet, they could still chat through messages. âYes.â He gave a short answer. All
he wanted at this moment was for her to leave as soon as possible.
A smile appeared on the corners of Willowâs lips when she saw the message. Soon, Jasper urged her,
âHurry up and go back to your room!
It was only then that Willow got up and left, unaware that her departure was being observed by two
men whose eyes were fixed on her like those of predators. Jasper didnât notice that as he had his back
turned to them, but after Willow left, he pretended to answer a phone call and left as well.
Back in her room, Willow couldnât help but lie on the bed with a happy expression as she hugged her
phone. She could finally stay in touch with him.
