It was the same idea.
At that moment, neither Anna nor Wendy cared how beautiful the other looked. They were both shameless witches in the other’s eyes.
A flask of tea was shared between the three of them.
In a little less than half an hour, Jasper found himself fully understanding what people meant when they said ‘minutes ticked on like hours’.
Wendy kept her cool the entire time, seeing that the last thing she should do as Jasper’s other half was to cower in fear. She had to defend her position.
Meanwhile, Anna drank tea and began to search for topics of interest. Wendy would reply and give her own two cents without an ounce of fear.
Jasper, however, was completely isolated, for the two women had tacitly decided to ignore him.
Half an hour later, Anna finally got up and excused herself. “I’m a little tired, so I’ll get back to my room now.”
‘You should’ve left long ago.’ That was what Wendy thought internally, but she merely replied with a sympathetic expression on her face, “I’ve had a lot of fun talking to you, Miss Law. We should do this again sometime.”
‘How about we don’t…’
Jasper wanted nothing more at that moment than to toss Wendy to the North Pole and Anna to the South Pole so the two would never meet again.
Anna gave a small smile. “Sounds great. I had a lot of fun talking to you today too, Miss Schuler. We should talk more in the future.”
Anna then turned to Jasper and asked softly, “Won’t you send me off, Jasper?”
Wendy clenched her fist angrily at her suggestion and bit her red lip, but she otherwise remained silent.
Jasper got up and smiled dryly. “I’ll walk you out.”
The two walked out the door in a line, and Anna slightly closed the door behind her to block Wendy’s line of vision.
Wendy clenched her teeth and was overwhelmed with the urge to run over to look at what the two of them were doing, but she forced herself to maintain the air of ‘generosity’ around her.
At the door, Jasper was about to speak when an air of perfume ambushed him. Anna suddenly appeared in his arms.
With her hands wrapped around Jasper’s neck, Anna blinked at Jasper. “Was it exciting?”
Jasper did not know whether to laugh or to cry as he pulled Anna’s arms off. “Stop playing around!”
Ignoring the fact that there were surveillance cameras in the corridor, Wendy was just on the other side of the door. The last thing Jasper wanted to do was taunt Wendy’s limits right under her nose.
“Coward.”
Anna mocked and said, “I’m leaving for Waterhoof City tomorrow to attend a fashion show on behalf of my teacher. It’ll be three to five days before I get back.”
“Wait, really?” Jasper could not hide the surprise in his tone when he asked.
Then, he felt slightly regretful.
As expected, Anna was teasing him with her gaze.
“Okay, I’ll stop. Go comfort your girlfriend.”
Anna then turned and left.
Jasper rubbed his cheeks with both his hands at the sight of Anna’s retreating figure and turned to push open the room door. He saw Wendy with her arms crossed while looking at him calmly.
Jasper felt a little guilty when he realized that Anna’s perfume still lingered around his neck.
“Go take a bath. You must be tired after working all day.”
It surprised him that Wendy did not question him at all, nor did she interrogate him about his relationship with Anna. Instead, what came out of her mouth was a caring suggestion.
Jasper looked at Wendy and asked, “Is there nothing you want to ask me?”
“Not really.” Wendy sat back on the bar chair and opened her laptop with a blank expression on her face,
“There’s no way a man like you would lack flirty women by your side, even my dad told me that.”
Wendy smiled confidently and said, “But I trust you. I trust that you won’t betray me, right?”
Despite Wendy’s choice of words, Jasper still heard the slight hint of a threat in her tone.
At that, Jasper smiled dumbly and agreed, “Yes! Of course not!”
He turned without hesitation and left. Time to take a bath!
