Life at the Top

“Let’s introduce ourselves once again. Nice to meet you, I’m Sylphie Lang. I’m Anna Law’s best friend,” Sylphie said, extending her hand to Jasper with a gracious demeanor.

Jasper understood everything immediately.

That was right. Only the highly-regarded princess of Sentel Corporation had the courage and ability to come up with a final decision at a time like this.

Jasper shook hands with Sylphie with a bitter smile etched across his face. “Ms. Lang, we’re meeting each other under such unique circumstances,” he said.

“To be honest, I only came over because I was curious about the man that managed to steal Anna Law’s heart. Because of this, I had to come here under another identity. I hope you don’t mind,” Sylphie said sincerely.

Jasper waved his hand and replied, “It’s all good, I don’t mind. However, this…”

When Jasper said this, Sylphie turned around to face Mr. Hampton and the others. “What are you lot standing there for? Are my words falling on deaf ears?” She asked.

Mr. Hampton and the others left the room immediately.

“Wait right there.”

Just as Jonathan, whose emotions were beyond conflicted, was about to escape the scene of the crime, Jasper stopped him from leaving.

Jonathan turned around to glare at Jasper. “What do you want?”

“Aren’t you Ms. Lang’s boyfriend? Weren’t you extremely concerned about our relationship? Ms. Lang is here right now. Why don’t you clarify things once and for all?” Jasper asked matter-of-factly.

Upon hearing what he said, Jonathan, who was already flustered, turned pale immediately.

He had been blinded by his anger earlier. He had told everyone that he was extremely close to Sylphie, and she had heard everything that he had said. He had been thinking of how to rescue the situation when Jasper Laine suddenly decided to hit him where it hurts. Jonathan was immediately overcome with an extreme sense of unease.

“Why didn’t I know that I have a boyfriend like you?” Sylphie asked in a frigid tone.

Jonathan decided to just bite the bullet. “Ms. Lang, please don’t misunderstand. I never said that I was your boyfriend…” he said awkwardly.

“You simply said that we share a close relationship, and that we’ve never told the public about it. Isn’t that right?” Sylphie interjected with a cold sneer.
