Life at the Top

Benjamin was dumbstruck.

Everything still felt so unreal. Perhaps he had not even woken up from his bed this morning. Was he still dreaming?

Why had Colin suddenly switched teams? Benjamin was even dismissed from his job and was going to be investigated?

Benjamin’s heart was thumping wildly as he subconsciously looked at Jasper. What he saw was the same calm and unruffled Jasper from the moment he first walked through the door. He looked breezy and indifferent regardless of the mockery and ridicule thrown at his face. There was a layer of calm on his face that was impossible to comprehend.

The mysterious and calmness he exuded was nothing at first, though when Benjamin realized that Jasper had so stealthily got the entire situation within his grasp, everything suddenly seemed so terrifying.

The things he and Mr. Monty did and said earlier must have seemed like a joke to Jasper, right?

At the thought of this, the completely disheartened Benjamin looked to his only backer for help, hoping that Conrad could speak up for him.

Conrad, however, was livid at the moment. He looked so gloomy it was as if a thunderstorm was approaching. How could he possibly be in the mood to help him?

After casting several glances, Benjamin sighed hard and said dejectedly, “I understand.”

As Benjamin said those words, he stood up and walked out of the conference room.
