Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2523

He looked quite familiar, but she couldn't seem to put her finger on where she had seen him before.

"Can't remember? It seems like you're a very forgetful person, Ms. Zimmer!" the man teased.

To jog her memory, the man continued, "The other day, you went to a bar with Joan Watts and got wasted. Later on..." he trailed off.

Jessica realized that she seemed to have a vague recollection of this. Tilting her head, she racked through her brains and tried to recall the details.

Joan told me that I drank with some gang leader that day. And that he didn't do anything indecent to me... Could this man be him? Jessica eyed him with suspicion.

"Do you remember now?" he probed again.

"Yeah. Why are you looking for me?" she asked placidly.

The man shrugged nonchalantly. "No reason. I just wanted to see you. How are you, by the way?"

"I'm fine," came Jessica's terse reply.

"Allow me to officially introduce myself. My name is Jasper." The man extended his hand with a smile.

However, Jessica had no interest in befriending him. Ever since she started dating Caspian, she rarely interacted with the opposite sex.

"Uhm, I have to go now. I've got things to do." With that, she instinctively walked away.

"What? You think I'm not worthy of being your friend?" Jasper called out from behind.

If she wasn't dating Caspian, perhaps she would have no qualms befriending this man. The fact that he did not take advantage of her the other day proved that he wasn't a bad person.

"I'm quite busy these days, so I don't have time to make new friends. I'm really sorry," Jessica replied with a trace of guilt in her voice.

"How about I get straight to the point from now on?" Jasper quipped.

Jessica was stunned. Get straight to what point? What is he up to? She peeked at him, feeling slightly unsettled.

"Jessica, I'm gonna be frank with you. I like you," Jasper declared.

Caught off guard by his candor, Jessica felt slightly embarrassed.

Clearing her throat awkwardly, she replied, "I'm sorry, but I have a boyfriend."

"It's okay. As long as you're not married, I still have a chance," Jasper countered. Crap. Not another problem, please.

"Again, I'm sorry, but I love him very much," she explained calmly.

"That's because you didn't meet me earlier," Jasper said arrogantly.

This man doesn't know when to quit, does he? Jessica started to feel impatient.

"Fine. Since you're being so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush either. Caspian is the only man for me, whether in the past, present, or future, so kindly give up because you don't stand a chance," she articulated each word.

I've already made it so clear. He should get the hint, right?

"Love isn't eternal. You may love Caspian today, but who knows? You might fall in love with me tomorrow."

Jessica scoffed, feeling slightly helpless.

The chances of her falling in love with another man were next to zero. Since she had already chosen Caspian, naturally, it meant that she was ready to grow old with him. Regardless of who showed up midway, nothing could get in the way of their love.

"Jessica!" Caspian called out a short distance away.

"My boyfriend is here to pick me up. I'll get going now. Don't come looking for me again." After that, Jessica made a beeline for Caspian.

"Who was that?" Caspian raised his brows in question.

"Just a stranger asking for directions," Jessica answered simply.

Jasper exuded a murderous aura as he looked in the direction the two figures left.

A few of his henchmen walked over, and one of them spat viciously, "Jasper, should we help you deal with that Caspian guy?"

"No, don't interfere. I can handle this myself," Jasper answered confidently.

Meanwhile, Caspian had doubts about Jessica's answer because he noticed the way that man had gazed at her.
