Cole was reluctant to see her leave, and there was love in his eyes. Of course, he felt her feelings over the last three months, but out of professionalism, he couldn’t respond to her feelings.

Shirley got into the helicopter and turned around to wave him goodbye. The helicopter took off. Shirley looked at Cole until he was a speck on the ground, and something in her heart felt empty.

‘My background check has gone wrong, Shirley. I can’t join the mission. What should I do? I don’t want to lose this job.

Jasper and Willow didn’t stay at the residence. His villa was already cleaned and set up by the housekeeper, so they were going to stay the night there. Willow opened up her suitcase and hung her clothes in Jasper’s cabinet. Looking at all the necessities she had prepared for the both of them, she felt bliss.
