Jasper spoke casually as he played with the coffee cup in his hands.

Jack’s leaving frame was frozen in place as he turned to glare furiously at Jasper, spitting out the words, “I don’t think I understand what you mean.”

Jasper looked up at Jack and smiled. “Your Ph.D. in Computer Science at the Fornia State University of Technology is fake.”

Jasper looked at Jack calmly. “Instead of being constantly worried over something like that, wouldn’t it be better to accept the invitation of a company that admires you and is willing to accept this blemish of yours?”

Jack scoffed. “My annual salary is four million dollars. Can you even afford me?”
