Chapter 403 Jasper circled around the desk and approached Willow. He used his index finger to lift her chin. His handsface and masculine aura made her heart race.
"Didn't you say you couldn't take part in any 'extreme' activities?" His husky voice was alarmingly sexy.
Willow's heart thumped, and her eyes widened. "I'm only here to carry out smenial tasks. I certainly cannot do anything too physically challenging..." Her heartrate increased. Jasper's dangerous and mighty aura nearly consumed her. She felt as if danger loomed around every corner.
Jasper could tell she was nervous from the way her long eyelashes fluttered. It was very charming.
The soft, smooth skin of her hands and the fragrant scent on her made his throat dry.
He lifted her chin higher and moved closer in an attempt to kiss her.

Willow backed away in surprise. She moved out of the danger zone by standing three feet away from Jasper. Yelena walked in. She witnessed the scene earlier. Although a look of rage appeared in her eyes, she quickly hid her emotions and put on a smile while she walked toward Jasper. "Mr. Hughes, your grandfather askedto tell you that there'll be a family gathering tonight. He askedto go hwith you for dinner." Yelena was about to reach out and hold Jasper's arm when he quickly turned around.
He returned to his seat.
Feeling let down, Yelena's smile froze. However, she did not get angry. She continued to smile in an understanding and gentle manner.
Upon seeing this, Willow nodded slightly and walked quietly out of the office. Jasper glanced coldly at Yelena. "I won't marry you," he said.
Yelena's smile froze completely. Tears filled her eyes. "Your grandfather said you and I have been engaged since we were children." "You didn't seem to think of this when you dated other men. What's the matter? Did you have enough fun and suddenly recall this?" Jasper retrieved a cigarette, placed it between his lips, and lit it up.
Yelena's tears trickled down her cheeks. She walked up to him and started speaking sadly. "I didn't know about it before. My grandfather toldmuch later.
As soon as I found out, I broke up with my then boyfriend." "Your grandfather and mine were only kidding. You don't have to take it seriously. You should still date other men if you want to. I'll give a big gift to you when you get married in the future." Jasper took a puff on his cigarette and blew out a circle of smoke.
He made things very clear.
He knew why Frank wanted to keep Yelena around.
Jasper did not like Yelena, and he did not require a marriage to boost Hughes Corporation's standing.
Although Jasper had rejected her in the past, he did not say it in such a blunt manner. This time, it was obvious there was no discussion to be had.
After hearing what Jasper had to say, Yelena felt as if something pierced through her heart. It was painful.
She took a deep breath and began to sob profusely. "Mr. Hughes, I know you still have feelings for someone else. Don't worry. I'll wait for you." After finishing her sentence, Yelena turned around and left the office.

Full of anger and with nowhere to vent, she pushed the door open into Willow's office and shoved all then documents on her desk to the ground She then pointed a finger angrily at Willow. "Bitch, you're shameless! You're seeing two men at the stime! You're such a slut. You might as well be a prostitute!" She was being extremely rude.
This was a major insult for Willow.
Willow pushed Yelena's finger away.
With wide eyes, she responded to m angrily, "Aren't you refering te because you cannot yourself Just bec get theman you want, you're venting your anger oninstead. Is this how you were brought up?" "What right do you have to win over Xavier's heart and still get close to Jasper? You simply won't leave him alone!" Yelena yelled while still out of breath.
Willow stood up and moved closer to Yelena. "Yeah. What right do I have? If you're so charming and capable, why don't you steal Jasper away from me? Stop causing a scene here and making things up for no reason!"
