Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 1988

Aimee was sitting in front of her computer when Jasper returned to the room. She looked up at the man who had just come in and asked, “Where did you go?”

“Nowhere important,” Jasper replied as he made his way to his room.

She couldn’t help but follow him. “Jasper, we are partners. You can’t keep anything from me, or we won’t be able to work together.”

“Aimee, just focus on your own tasks.” Jasper then closed the door behind him.

Aimee couldn’t stop her chest from rising and falling from anger for a moment. She had been selected as an international agent and was an exceptional young woman. However, she couldn’t ignore her feelings for Jasper. She had tried repeatedly to restrain herself, and yet, she couldn’t help but pay attention to him.

Her heart wouldn’t calm down whenever they were together. It wasn’t as chaotic when Jasper was fully focused on his work before, but ever since she heard that he had been acting absent-minded after his return to the team, her heart had become restless.

It was because Willow had entered his heart. Jasper having someone he was interested in was making Aimee feel as if something had set her sights on had been stolen from her.

It felt like sh*t.

But she also knew that Willow was not just an ordinary woman. After all, Willow Presgrave did come from a formidable family. As such, Aimee hoped that Willow wouldn’t set her heart on Jasper. With her family and background, she could find someone better.

Meanwhile, in the adjacent room, Willow held onto her phone without putting it down. She was trying her best to stop herself from sending a message to Jasper.

However, she was having a tough time holding it in. She had typed out several messages, but she ended up being too timid to send any of them lest she disturbed his work.

Forget it! I’ll just find something else to do! How about going shopping with Mae? Since she gave me a purse last time, I’ll accompany her to choose some gifts!

Willow then made plans with Mae, who gladly accepted. The two of them quickly agreed to meet at the entrance of the lobby.

A man was leaning against the wall, engrossed in a game, when Willow walked out and stood by the elevator. As soon as he saw Willow, he quickly closed the game interface and sent a message to his partner. ‘The target is out. I’ll follow her, and you come later.’

When Willow entered the elevator, the man hurriedly approached her and apologized. “Oh, excuse me. I’m heading down as well.”

Willow flashed him an unguarded smile and continued to message Mae.

“I’m coming down. My bodyguards’ car is at the entrance.”

Willow and Mae only got into the car and left after they met up in the lobby. Behind them, a black SUV followed closely. Although they noticed Willow had a bodyguard with her, they took the risk of kidnapping this beautiful woman as a tribute in order to please their boss. As individuals who were involved in international high-stakes matters, they were not afraid of any consequences.

Meanwhile, Jasper was in his room on his computer when a sudden whimsical thought prompted him to open a document. He clicked on today’s surveillance footage and fast-forwarded to the part where Willow left her room. He watched as she walked out, lingered for a few seconds in front of his door, and stared at the door before she headed toward the cafe.

Jasper’s gaze remained fixed on Willow even after she went into the cafe. He observed her standing at the service counter, ordering coffee, and choosing a seat. Even without any filters, she exuded a timeless elegance that captivated him. Her every move reflected the demeanor of a refined lady.

At that moment, Jasper noticed a pair of eyes in the footage, staring at Willow as a predator would. Jasper’s sharp eyebrows furrowed as he realized it was his target, Bucky. Bucky stared at Willow intensely, his gaze akin to that of a wolf, while conversing with his henchmen. His expression revealed a touch of obscenity.

Jasper quickly turned up the volume and put on his earphones to listen to Bucky and his henchmen. He overheard Bucky saying, “Good. I want her tonight.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Quickly, Jasper increased the playback speed and looked closely through the footage. As expected, he saw one of Bucky’s henchmen waiting for Willow at the elevator entrance.
