Leaving You Bereft (Willow and Julian) novel Chapter 24

One week later, Willow secured the unit for her business.

She signed a contract for five years since the price and location of the unit were ideal. She wrote a check and passed it to the

landlord.

With the economy having slowed down in recent years, the landlord was very pleased with the fact that Willow wanted to sign a

contract for five years.

The landlord left shortly afterward since he had other arrangements. On the other hand, Willow remained seated as she tried to

finish her coffee. It was a habit she had had for a long time.

Just then, she heard a soft female voice. “Willow!”

Willow paused for a split second.

It was Natalie, Jeffrey’s younger sister. 1

Natalie was still a college student. She and Willow were not exactly close. However, she was being very friendly to her that day.

Natalie hurried over and clung to Willow’s arm while speaking to her enthusiastically.

Even someone who was usually aloof and distant like Willow liked how bubbly and lovely the young lady was. Willow beckoned a

waiter over and ordered two desserts for Natalie.

A while later, the waiter served the dessert to the table.

Natalie was clearly in bliss as she ate the dessert. She finally remembered her initial purpose after finishing her serving. “It’s my

brother’s birthday tomorrow. We’re having a party. You should join us!”

“It’s Jeffrey’s birthday tomorrow?” Willow pondered.

Without much hesitation, she declined the invite politely. “I probably won’t be able to make it.”

Natalie had a knowing look on her face. “Don’t worry! Julian won’t be there. He’s never attended these small, insignificant

parties… I can bet it on my brother’s life!”

Willow felt that Jeffrey would need to have at least nine lives for Natalie to make bets like this.

After giving it some thought, Willow accepted Natalie’s invitation eventually. She owed Jeffrey a few favors, after all.

On her way home, Willow stopped by the mall to get Jeffrey a gift.

After considering the relationship between her and Jeffrey, she decided to get him a gold pen. It was a gift that was proper for the

occasion and would not look too shabby.
