Back in the country. Willow had a visitor today; it was her senior who had cto see her. Willow insisted that
she join her for her nephew’s one-month birthday celebration before she left.
“Willow, | feel so blessed! You've taken care of everything throughout my stay here,” her senior exclaimed while
standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the presidential suite.
“No need to worry about details like that with me, Mae. You took great care ofas well when | first started in
this line of work! Now it’s my turn to be the gracious host,” Willow replied. She had discussed it with her father,
and she could stay at the hotel to spend a few days with her friend before the baby’s banquet, which was still a
week away.
“Mae, there's a fantastic Celonese restaurant downstairs. Lettake you there for sdelicious food.” “Okay,
let's go!” Mae Yang agreed. She was a local, but she was curious about everything in her hcountry as she
had grown up abroad..

Willow and Mae then arrived at the restaurant.. When they were happily discussing something interesting,
Willow's gaze suddenly wandered to a private room from which several people emerged one after another. The
first group. consisted of a middle-aged man flanked by two tall and elegant women. Being completely oblivious
to the other customers of the restaurant, they were unconcerned even when they drew the attention of everyone
in the place.
Willow was also one of those people who furrowed her brows. Just as she was about to avert her gaze and pay no
mind to the man, she unexpectedly caught sight of a couple walking out hand in hand from behind.
The spoon in Willow's hand slipped, falling right into her coffee cup and splashing a few drops of scalding liquid.
And yet, she didn’t even react. Her eyes widened as she stared at the couple who had just emerged, her gaze
fixating on the man.
She knew the man. It was Jasper. She had bumped into the man she thought she would never see again in her
life just half a month later at a hotel in her hcountry. The only difference today was that he was holding
hands with a striking woman as they walked toward the restaurant’s exit like a couple.
“Willow?” Mae looked at Willow in confusion as she attempted to wipe the spilled coffee off her hand with a
tissue. “What are you looking at?” Without waiting for Mae to wipe the coffee away, Willow suddenly stood up in
a hurry. “Mae, | need to step out for a moment. Wait forhere.”
As soon as she said that, she rushed toward the entrance of the building without her purse. She noticed that the
elevator doors were about to close after glancing around. “Wait!” she shouted.
Someone kindly pressed the elevator button for her, and the doors opened again. It was then that the man
standing in the corner was revealed. At that moment, he was smoothing out the hair of his companion beside
him. However, when his gaze fell upon the woman rushing toward them, his hand cto an abrupt stop. Even
his face froze as a hint of confusion flickered in his eyes.
Willow managed to squeeze herself into the elevator cabin. She chose to stand in a direction opposite Jasper and
leaned against the wall so that she could look directly at him.

Jasper glanced at her briefly before he looked. at the woman beside him. His companion also stole a glance at
Willow. She keenly noticed that the beautiful woman had been fixated on the man by her side.
It was not the look of someone who has spotted an attractive guy; instead, it resembled the expression one
would have when they saw someone they had feelings for. It was a mixture of surprise, disappointment, and a
ton of other emotions.
Who is she? Why did she cafter us? “Excuse us,” one of the beautiful women whom the other man was
hugging called out in a melodious voice when they reached a certain floor.
Willow stepped aside upon hearing that. However, after the three individuals left, Jasper grabbed his
companion’s hand and exited as well, leaving Willow feeling flustered and at a loss as she stood in the elevator
by herself.
“It really is him,” Willow murmured to herself. She had initially thought she was seeing things, but the man was
undoubtedly Jasper Wyatt.
He has a beautiful woman with him, and they are staying at this hotel. They must be sharing a room!
