Upon sending that, she took a selfie. She had worn a beautiful dress with princess-like makeup tonight, and she selected the best photo before sending it to Jasper.
Those texts were successfully sent. At the same time, a man was sitting on a couch inside a dimly lit villa, going through the pictures and texts. His eyes were filled with conflicting emotions.
Jasper had just taken a bath and was only wrapped in a towel when he received Willow's text. Initially, he had no intention of replying to her, but she sent the pictures of the bar and her outfit for tonight half an hour later. Those pictures seemed to have triggered something inside the man, making him unable to keep his cool.
However, he soon realized the Presgraves would not let her enter the bar alone, so she would not be in danger or get taken advantage of. At that moment, he received another picture. A handsome-looking man had his hand on Willow's shoulder, and the two were smiling at the camera. Jasper's pupils contracted, wondering if Willow was playing with him. Right after that, he received a message from her. 'Forget it. You don't have to come anymore. I've already found a friend.'
Those words seemed to have triggered something inside the man, and he quickly got up to head upstairs. Five minutes later, the man came down wearing a black shirt and pants, then grabbed his phone before leaving.
Back at the bar, Willow had two bodyguards protecting her from both sides, and the man she had taken a picture with was standing by the bar with a glass in his hand. His gaze was glued on her, but he was depressed; the young woman only asked him to cooperate and take a picture before leaving him alone.
Moreover, she had four bodyguards on both sides, protecting her like two strong walls. None of the men around her dared to come forward, instead choosing to clear out a circle for the beautiful lady to have her drink.
In the meantime, Willow propped her chin and sighed, feeling somewhat dejected. She had sent those ambiguous messages to try and anger the man, yet he did not reply to any of her messages. Maybe he deleted my contact number out of anger! How could he do that?
Feeling depressed, Willow kept wondering if she was not attractive enough. Otherwise, how could she not get her man? Was it because she was not aggressive enough? Just as her mind was a mess, Ricky, the bodyguard, noticed a familiar figure near the bar's corridor and turned around to face Willow, who was sipping her drink occasionally. Then, he reported, "Miss Presgrave, the person you're waiting for has arrived."
Willow looked at him before she turned to face the corridor, where she saw Jasper approaching her in his all-black attire. At once, her depressed feelings disappeared, and she cutely urged the bodyguards to leave, saying, "Ricky, hurry up and leave. Go!"
With a wave of his hands, Ricky led the bodyguards on the side away. Now that Jasper had arrived, they need not worry about Willow's safety.
Willow coughed softly as her nervous heart began thumping. She did not expect the man to appear before her after not replying to her messages.
On the other hand, the man waiting on the side was instantly in high spirits after Willow's bodyguards left, for he had been waiting to strike up a conversation with her.
"Miss, it's an honor to get to know you." He ran his hand through his hair, thinking it would look cool.
Willow smiled at him and was about to raise her glass when a figure forcefully squeezed between them.
The man ordered the bartender, "Give me a glass of whiskey."
"Hey, don't you have any manners? Can't you see that I'm talking to this pretty lady?!" bellowed the man after getting blocked.
Jasper gave the man a sharp glare and demanded, "Scram!"
"What did you just say?" The man thought he had misheard Jasper. Who does he think he is, ordering me to leave?
Noticing this, Willow did not want Jasper to get into a fight after just arriving, so she hugged his arm and apologized to the man, saying, "I'm sorry, but my boyfriend seems to be in a bad mood."
The man was instantly dumbfounded. It turned out the fierce man was the pretty lady's boyfriend. He was instantly at a loss for words and turned to leave.
Meanwhile, Willow wrapped her arms around Jasper's shoulder and looked triumphantly at him. "Why are you here?"
