Life at the Top

“I am… Why are you here?” Jasper asked.

Scrunching her nose, Wendy replied, “Dad rushed over right away when he heard that Uncle Yapp was admitted into the hospital. And since the nationwide supermarket industry conference will also be held in Swallow Capital, we decided to come here earlier.”

“Where’s Uncle Schuler?” Jasper asked, taking off his jacket and hanging it on the rack.

“He went to the hospital to visit Uncle Yapp. The two old friends were talking and since I’m not interested in hearing old men reminiscing about the past, I decided to come here first,” Wendy replied with a smile.

Jasper nodded in understanding before he suddenly realized. “How did you get in here? You don’t have a room card.”

Wendy gave Jasper a crescent-eyed smile as she replied darkly, “Miss Law opened the door for me.”

Jasper’s footsteps halted as he walked toward Wendy, and he felt his heart drop. He had a bad feeling about this.

It felt like something terrifying was about to happen.

From the guest room, Anna’s voice sounded.

“Who are you talking to, Miss Schuler? Is Jasper back already?”

Anna’s voice crushed the last shred of delusional hope in Jasper’s heart.
