A Graduation Gift

"Why not pay more attention to the company's affairs instead of her?"

Rufus asked, grumpily. Cassandra's very name hit his sensitive nerve. His tone became aggressive as soon as Jasper mentioned her.

"Why? Is it true that your relationship has some problems?"

Jasper leaned forward, his eyes widening. He was amused to see Rufus act so out of his regular cold and calm way.

"What do you mean by 'some problems'? What have you heard?"

Rufus wanted to end this conversation right away but thought it was wise to face it, sooner or later these questions were bound to come up. Plus, he was aware Jasper had his tongue in his cheek.

"Isn't it all over the news? People are saying someone has stepped out and claimed he is dating Cassandra now and it is her who stole Lyndsy's boyfriend. Haven't you read about it? It's all over the internet!"

Jasper said in surprise. He had assumed Rufus might already have heard about it.

"No. I never pay attention to this kind of gossip,"

Rufus answered flatly, his eye brows knitting. Yet, he was surprised by whatever Jasper had just said.

"You know the man. That guy we met at the private club the other day? A Mr. Tong, does it ring a bell? He made an announcement to a big crowd of reporters that Cassandra is his girlfriend!"

Jasper explained hurriedly, while checking his phone for the article. He found it pretty easily and presented it to Rufus. Rufus's face turned cold just after casting a single glance at it.
