Ever since they knew each other, she was just a troublemaker to him, causing him more hassle than he needed and even ruining his mission once. It could not be helped if he hated her.
Propping her chin on her palm, Willow sighed. She was already bored to tears, to begin with, but now, she was even more bored. Still, she turned her attention to the man, who was revealing his arm a little.
In the meantime, Aimee could see Willow from where she was seated, and from the corners of her eyes, she observed her disgruntled expression. A smirk tinged the edge of her lips before she faced the man working in front of her. “Would you like something to drink, honey?” She deliberately raised her voice, and Willow could hear her clearly in the quiet cafe.
“Whatever,” Jasper said nonchalantly. Sashaying, Aimee brought herself to the reception and ordered two coffees. When she returned to his side, she stopped next to him, crouched down, and got close to his face in front of Willow’s eyes.
With his quick reflexes, he interrupted her with his hand, and her kiss landed on the back of his hand. However, seated behind the pillar with her view blocked, Willow imagined that she had kissed him, and he had accepted it.
She could not help but take a few sharp breaths. Did I make a wrong guess? Are they more than just working partners but lovers as well? That woman is immaculate and fashionable, with a very aggressive and shrewd temperament. They’re working in the same office and even sharing the same room in a hotel. No matter how anyone else looks at it, they’re very intimate. Suddenly, she felt a tight wrench in her chest for some unknown reason, followed by a stuffy and painful sensation.
All her expressions were observed by Aimee, whom Jasper was watching, and she smiled triumphantly as she whispered into his ear, “What? Are you worried that Miss Presgrave will misunderstand us?”
