Life at the Top

Walking out of the president’s office, Celine stared at Jasper who looked very carefree and asked, “Were you not nervous at all?”

“About what?” Jasper asked despite knowing full well what she was talking about.

“About Paulson. He’s not as kind as he looks. The fact that he managed to become Colossal’s president despite starting from a normal project manager means that he’s more ruthless than anyone if need be,” Celine replied.

Jasper smiled and spoke, “His ruthlessness is a testament to how smart he is, and smart men tend to choose options that are the most beneficial to them. He won’t get anything by starting an all-out war with me, so he won’t do it.”

“Bullsh*t.” Celine rolled her eyes at Jasper. “Sure, your companies have unlimited potential and they’ve already grown quite a bit in size, but they’re still nothing more than weaklings to Colossal, okay?”

“The investment bank wants to make money and Paulson wants fame. Getting rid of a weakling like me won’t bring the investment bank money nor will the world suddenly respect Paulson more for it. Plus, on the off chance that they don’t manage to crush me, they’ll have a monstrous force to deal with in the future. Why go through all that trouble?” Jasper replied calmly.

“God knows where you got this confidence from,” Celine spoke calmly.

Still, despite her words, Celine’s eyes shone as she looked at Jasper.
