However, Willow’s gaze led to the hint of redness slowly creeping over Jasper’s handsome face. He could no longer be as calm as he usually was. Instead, he was behaving like a teenage boy who felt shy and flustered in front of the girl he liked.
“What are you looking at?’ Jasper had to ask. Willow could tell that her staring had made him shy. She laughed and said, ‘I’m looking at the handsome man in front of me, of course! What’s the matter? Am I not allowed to look?”
In reality, she wasn’t just looking at him. Her eyes were boring into his soul! She looked like she was trying to see right through him. Jasper never cared about his looks before, but at this very moment, he hoped that she wouldn’t be displeased by his appearance.
“How did you become the special representative? It’s not easy to get in. If I knew you were coming, I could have made up an identity for you!” Willow was worried that he had to plead with someone else again.
“My uncle got it done for me,” Jasper told her. the truth. “I see! Let’s go then! Don’t worry. I’ll take you under my wing and I’ll even take good care of you!” Willow patted Jasper on the shoulder and giggled.
Jasper couldn’t help but smile. Ten minutes after the duo headed back out, the entire team departed for their destination. Willow was wearing a sky-blue winter jacket that made her svelte figure seem even more tall and slender. Jasper was also given a black winter jacket. As he stood with the team that included over a dozen other young men, there was no denying that he stood out from the crowd.
Willow got into the vehicle and Jasper immediately sat beside her. While Willow was busy arranging her bag, Jasper reached out and helped her with her seatbelt. She flashed him a smile before she realized that he was the one taking care of her!
Six SUVS set off toward the nearest pier. It was quite an imposing sight that made it clear just how much money had been pumped into this expedition. The team was full of talents and everything was well-prepared.
