Life at the Top

Although both of them had changed a lot, Jasper and Penelope could still recognize each other at first glance.

Penelope froze on the spot. She returned to her senses after a few seconds, then lowered her head and prepared to run away.

Right then, the boss of the hotdog stall managed to catch up with her.

He grabbed ahold of the collar of Penelope’s shirt and scolded her angrily. “F*ck, it’s been three days. You’ve stolen the hotdogs from my stall for three consecutive days. Even if you want to steal, don’t just steal from my stall alone. Do you really think that I’m that easily bullied?

Jasper pulled out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and said, “Since you said that she stole from you, I’ll pay on her behalf. Don’t hold a grudge against her anymore. It’s almost Christmas, and you’re out here trying to run a business. Don’t bring bad luck upon yourself.”
