Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2308

Willow and some of the other team members were busy poring over the map of the islands with a magnifying glass as they tried to find clues regarding the exact location based on geomancy and astrological calculations.

She was still busy with her thoughts when the door opened. She didn’t turn around because she thought it was probably just one of the students who came in. However, Cameron’s voice rang out behind her. “Willow, the special representative, Mr. Hugh Wyatt, is here.”

Willow finally set the magnifying glass down and turned around to look at the newcomer with a polite smile. Her expression went from shock to joy in mere seconds and she nearly threw herself at him.

It was the meaningful look from him that made her compose herself. She cleared her throat and walked over to greet him courteously. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Wyatt. I’m Willow Presgrave, the sponsor of this archaeological expedition.” Willow held her hand out..

Jasper shook it and said, “I’m Hugh Wyatt, the special representative.” His crisp, deep, and magnetic voice drew the attention of three young women on the team. Oh, my! What a young and handsome special representative! Willow smiled. “Can I speak to you in private, Mr. Wyatt?”

“Of course.”

“Please come with me to my room.” Willow walked off. Jasper followed close behind. Willow opened the door and gestured for him to go in which he readily did. As soon as Willow closed the door, she threw herself at the man and flung her arms around his neck. “Why did you come here?” she couldn’t help but ask.

Jasper held her by the waist to save her from exerting herself. He “I’m on my break right now so I came here to protect you.”

Willow was startled. “You’re on your break right now? You came here just to protect me?” Her heart warmed as a dazzling grin spread out across her face. “That means you’re trying to Woo me, Mr. Wyatt!”

Jasper looked at her with smiling eyes and said nothing. “Are you or aren’t you?” Willow wanted a straight answer. “If you’re not, then I don’t want you to protect me. My dad sent me eight bodyguards anyway. I have enough people to protect me.”
