Jasper sat unmoving in his seat even after Conrad had left.

Wendy arrived soon after. After he stood and exchanged seats with her, Jasper beckoned to a waiter to order a table’s worth of food.

“Conrad has pretty good taste. The food at this restaurant is quite good.”

As Jasper spoke to Wendy, he ladled a helping of her favorite chicken onto her plate.

Wendy blinked as she gazed at Jasper, asking, “How did the discussion go?”

Jasper smiled and said, “It went just as I expected it to, but there were also some surprises.”

He did not keep anything hidden from Wendy as he relayed the details about the conversation he had with Conrad, making sure to emphasize the request Conrad brought up.

Wendy had a solemn expression on her face as she nodded and said, “The request for a loan must not be agreed to!

“After all, no matter who is responsible for applying for the loan, the bank will have to assess the company’s assets regardless. Once the loan is approved and becomes an overdue loan, the bank will seek out the lender and legal representative, which would be you and the new company.
