Life at the Top

“Jul, why’d I sleep in so late? Why didn’t you wake me?” Jasper got up and spoke to Julian who walked in. He pressed a finger against his throbbing temple.

Julian replied exasperatingly, “I came over to wake you twice, Jasper. You didn’t wake up the first time, and you were incoherent when you replied the second time only to fall right back asleep after. I realized that you weren’t in a good condition anyway, so I let you sleep.”

Jasper got off the bed and went to clean himself up. Jasper saved a mental note to himself to not drink so much next time. Making him late was one thing, but the hangover the following morning was horrible.

“Have the people from General Motors arrived?” Jasper asked while brushing his teeth.

“They arrived half an hour before the agreed time at 9:30 this morning. They’re still waiting,” Julian replied.

“I’ll be there right away,” Jasper spoke.

“Won’t you eat something first?” Julian asked.

“It’s fine. I’ll be meeting Winston Benett later anyway and there’ll be food to eat for afternoon tea,” Jasper replied.

In DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel’s executive lounge sat two irritated men clad in suits.

“It’s already 2:10 p.m., Dalton. I don’t think there’s any need to wait anymore,” the slightly chubby man spoke irritatedly.

Dalton was also irked as he glanced at the time. “Let’s wait another ten minutes. We’ll leave if we don’t see him. It seems like this person isn’t sincere at all.”

“What if they’re just joking? The Gulfstream G500 costs 47 million US dollars. How could someone with such horrible time management afford that?”

“I don’t think that’s possible. This is someone whom Colossal Investments’ Jameson introduced…” Dalton spoke hesitantly.
