Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

In the bedroom, Jasper woke up after a while. His eyes hadn’t adjusted to the darkness yet, but he was already feeling sad and self-conscious. Then he got out of bed, lifted the blanket, and went into the bathroom.

With a “click” sound, he turned on the light in the bathroom and placed one hand in front of the mirror. Seeing how haggard and tired he looked in the mirror, Jasper punched himself in the mirror. The next moment, his blood stained the mirror, which shattered into pieces. Immediately following that, he turned on the shower and tried to wash everything away.

So, he would stay in his downtown apartment for a while and would not return home anytime soon.

After getting into the car, Jasper started to look at his laptop. Liam, who was focused on driving, asked, “Why are there so many police cars around here? Is there something wrong?”

“Sometimes, curiosity gets you in trouble,” Jasper said, raising his eyebrows.

Liam realized he had asked the wrong question and quickly shut up.

Half an hour before the senior management meeting, they arrived at the office. Liam walked into Jasper’s office, a pile of files in his arms, and briefed him on the meeting’s basic outline and the necessary details. When Jasper’s phone rang, Liam was just halfway through his speech.
