Life at the Top

Jasper frowned slightly.

The staff building of Faith County’s number one high school had only been demolished after 2010 in his past life because it was too old.

Jasper could not help but feel that there was more to the situation.

Just then, two familiar voices sounded at the door.

Shockingly, it was Archer and Ronald.

“Mr. Nicholls, you swore that you were going to persuade the old woman. That’s why I let you come here first.

“See, I even got the signatures of the last family on the sixth floor, and you’re telling me you can’t even handle one old woman?”

Ronald sounded displeased.

The important business he referred to moments ago was to sign contracts on behalf of the demolition company.

He thought that Archer would be able to handle this old Tiana woman, but he did not expect Archer to come back empty-handed.

Ronald began to feel impatient when he thought about the pressure the real estate company was giving him.
