Life at the Top

Jasper and Wendy were locked in conversation when Henry arrived upstairs cooly.

“Were we too rash just now, Jasp?” Now that they were alone, Wendy could not help but voice her concerns.

“They are part of Softwin, after all.”

Jasper smiled. “It’s alright. Our true conflict with Softwin is over Abbylon’s shares. Either we give up, they relent, or we become enemies. Those two only got what they deserved, it’s the consequences of their actions.

“Not to mention that the fundamental conflict between us and Softwin wouldn’t have been solved even if we treated those two well and sent them off politely.”

Wendy sighed and replied, “Everyone’s just trying to do business. Why can’t we all get along?”

“Sure, small businesses can still be nice to each other, but it’s not the same when your business reaches a certain size. There are only so many resources and everyone wants a bigger piece of the pie for themselves. How are we supposed to get along?” Jasper consoled.

At that moment, Henry walked into the room proudly.

“F*cking Hell, I met a Sunriser on crack downstairs. He kept spouting sh*t, so I beat him up,” Henry immediately boasted once he walked through the door.

“I saw,” Jasper told him, “Quite the slaps you gave him.”

Henry’s eyes widened and he asked, “Those two can’t possibly have come from here, could they?”

“Relax, they’re enemies, not friends.”
