Life at the Top

Jasper walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows in the office after Sean left. Watching the calm flow of the Southface River, he fell silent.

Wendy was about to speak when she saw Dawson shake his head slightly at her.

“He’s thinking. Leave him alone for a moment.”

Wendy nodded and looked at Jasper worriedly.

She knew that Jasper was the person under the most pressure within the company.

Sean, herself, and even her father were used to relying on Jasper and placing their hope in him most of the time. It was as if every problem could be easily solved Jasper was around.

However, as someone who was always by Jasper’s side, Wendy knew better than anyone that is was because Jasper spent countless nights thinking, weighing the potential outcomes, and revising the entire situation, that everything was ‘easily’ solved.

No one succeeded without putting in any effort.

After more than ten minutes of thought, Jasper suddenly spoke, “I can’t keep waiting.”

Dawson shared a look with his daughter, Wendy. They did not know what Jasper meant by this.

A moment later, Jasper had dialed a number.
