Other team members immediately gathered. around as some of them picked up binoculars and looked at the dorsal fins on the water before they exclaimed in panic, “What’s going on?! Why are there sharks here?”
“What should we do? We can’t dive if there’s a risk of shark attacks. It would be disastrous.” Although they were hired for the job, their lives were always their top priority.
“Hurry! Contact Jett and report the situation here.” After Jett received the call and a few photos soon after, he immediately cursed in frustration, “Sh*t.”
“Boss, we can’t dive today. We can’t take the risk now that there are sharks lurking in the area.” Jett had no choice but to give up upon hearing those words. So, he ordered them to return and wait until the sharks were gone before deciding on a new diving date.
Willow also soon received a report from the bodyguards that Jett’s crew had returned. “Why did they turn around?” Willow asked in surprise.
“We are not sure what is going on, but none of them have gone underwater. Even their equipment was unloaded from the ship.”
Regardless of the reason, Willow couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just then, she heard someone outside greeting Jasper. So, she rushed out in excitement and threw herself into his arms. “Good news! Jett’s men didn’t dive.”
Jasper gently pushed her away from his embrace. “I know.” She blinked, a bit puzzled that he had been absent all night. To make matters even stranger, he was even rejecting her physical affections.
“Why won’t you let me hug you?” Willow murmured, feeling wronged. “It’s not that. I smell of blood; I need to take a shower first.”
She hurriedly inquired, “Where were you last night?” “I attracted some sharks nearby. That’s why Jett’s men turned back.” He didn’t see the point in hiding anything from her.
“Oho!” Willow was astonished. Even Winston was shocked. It turned out there truly was nothing Jasper couldn’t do in this world. He actually managed to do something like this!
