Life at the Top

Jasper agreed to meet Wayne in the Imperial Kitchen.

The three were now much closer than when they had met for the first time, but there was still an invisible barrier between Jasper and the other two.

Jasper still had a smile on his face when he shook Wayne’s hand. Then, he pulled out a complete set of Grimms’ Fairy Tales.

“Both Volume 1 and 2. I know that you’re a fan of fairytales, and that you’ve love Grimms’ work a lot, Mr. Marlon. So I had someone find a complete set in Harbor City. I hope it’s to your liking.”

Wayne was surprised to receive such a gift.

“Thank you, Mr. Laine. I’ll treasure this gift,” Wayne put away the books happily.

The three then slipped into their seats.

Both Jasper and Wayne were well aware that this present was merely a conversation starter. No matter how valuable this gift was, it would hold no sway in their negotiation later.
