Life at the Top

Looking at this scene, Kai pursed his lips slightly and asked John, “Is… is Mr. Laine always this laid-back?”

John gave a wry chuckle. “Perhaps extraordinary people have extraordinary traits.”

As he spoke, John lay down on another sofa and advised, “You should also rest for a little. We still have business to handle in the afternoon.”

Kai grimaced and replied, “I’m not in the mood for taking a nap. Both of you go ahead and rest; I’m going to look up some news on the internet.”

Kai sat down in front of the computer as he said this. He began checking through and scrutinizing every bit of news related to the poor cotton harvest.

When the groggy Jasper was woken up by Kai, it was already 1.29 pm, just one minute away from the markets opening.

At practically the same time that Jasper woke up, the office door was pushed open, and Samuel walked in with a sneering face.

He took out a cheque from his breast pocket and slapped it down onto the table noisily, saying with lofty arrogance, “Open your sorry eyes wide and take a good look at this. It’s a cheque worth 6 million dollars. Take it if you think you have the chops.”
