Life at the Top

What were trust fund babies?

Henry was the epitome of one.

‘Work for me, and I will reward you.

‘Yet the moment you’re unable to do your part well, I’ll screw you over.’

While it may sound like a simple piece of logic, it was in truth filled with bossiness and arrogance.

They did not fear revenge. In fact, revenge was welcome. ‘Go ahead. Let’s fight, shall we? Let’s compete to see who has the more formidable parent.’

There was no way Colin could compete with Henry’s parents, so after a moment of pondering, he smiled bitterly and replied, “Mr. Law, what else can I do but listen when you’ve already made it so clear?”

Henry’s expression finally brightened as he laughed out loud. “There we go. Here, come, Mr. Walter, let’s have a drink. As for tonight, don’t be in such a rush to return, okay? Let me make preparations.”

Colin immediately raised his glass and replied, “Next time, Mr. Law. I’ll treat you next time. The issue now is to make a stand, isn’t it? So I’ve got to go back and make preparations in advance. I’m not the only employee in the office, after all.”

Henry was very understanding and nodded. “Sure. I like your attitude toward work, Mr. Walter.”

After eating their fill, Jasper and Henry sent Colin off.

“Mr. Laine, Mr. Law, there’s no need to send me off any farther. I’ll be getting into the car now,” Colin told the two.

Jasper smiled and reached out to shake Colin’s hand. “There’s something else I would like to discuss with you, Mr. Walter.”

After the dinner, Colin could tell that Jasper was someone whom Henry held in extremely high regard.
