Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 1992

At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Jasper opened up and saw Aimee. “I ordered food. Let’s eat!”

He nodded and came out of his room, after which she curiously asked, “Where did you head off to just now? Don’t tell me you went to see Miss Presgrave!”

“I didn’t,” he denied.

Aimee felt he should not have taken action on his own, so she bit her lip, arguing, “Even if you’re my superior, you shouldn’t have taken action without me knowing. I have the right to know your every move.”

While sitting by the table, Jasper looked at her and declared, “I won’t do anything that would affect our mission.”

“But you already have. Ever since Miss Presgrave appeared, you’ve been acting strange.” That was what kept her frustrated inside. Also, he had never hidden in his room to work before.

“Aimee, I said I won’t do anything that would affect our mission.” He emphasized and coldly added, “Also, don’t mention Miss Presgrave anymore.”

Stunned, Aimee could not help but sit down because his words carried a slight deterrence to her. “Fine. I believe you, and I won’t mention Miss Presgrave again. Also, you can’t meet with her behind my back.”

On the other hand, the Presgraves had sent bodyguards to pack Willow’s items at the hotel. When Bucky’s men found out she would no longer be staying at the hotel, they had no choice but to return and report this to Bucky, who was displeased. “Is this how you do your work?”

“Mr. Wells, that woman must not be of an ordinary background. She has six bodyguards following her all the time. We can’t find a chance to get near her.”

“Mr. Wells, that woman must not be of an ordinary background. She has six bodyguards following her all the time. We can’t find a chance to get near her.”

“Mr. Wells, we should lay low and not cause any commotion until the seller arrives.”

Hearing that, Bucky gave in. “Go and pick out two young women for me.”

The two subordinates felt relieved but still could not figure out who saved Willow. Moreover, that person also discovered their tracking device! One had to know that the tracking device was almost impossible to find unless the one searching was a professional.

…

When Willow returned home, she acted like she always did before her parents. As soon as she returned to her room, only she knew what her mind was thinking. She took out her phone, and while she used to enjoy surfing through videos online, she now only wanted to text a particular person.

When she remembered her dispute with him today, she worried that sending him a message now would be like proving herself wrong.

After repeatedly looking at her phone, she tossed it aside and grabbed a book. After reading a few pages, she realized she could not concentrate. Anyhow, she felt annoyed because she seemed unable to think about anything else besides Jasper.

It was the first time Willow felt so helpless. She used to stay up late reading a book and could even come up with many interesting ideas, but Jasper resembled a giant, taking up all her thoughts now.

“What is this? Why do I keep thinking about him?” She hugged her head, feeling like crying.

Soon, she concluded that she was sick, and Jasper was her symptom. Then, she grabbed her phone again and typed a text. ‘I apologize for whatever I said to you today. If you’re willing to forgive me, just send me a smiling emoji.’

After that, she closed her eyes and sent the text, but after she did, she began feeling frustrated again. All kinds of thoughts crowded her mind. What if he doesn’t reply? What if he ignores my text? What if he thinks I’m a dishonorable woman? What if he thinks I’m infatuated with him?

In the meantime, the man was busy with something on his laptop. When he heard the notification tone, he looked at his phone and did nothing except hold his phone after reading the text, seeming to be controlling his emotions.

In the end, he set down his device and ignored it.

On the other hand, Willow waited anxiously but received no reply after half an hour, just like what she had expected.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
