Life at the Top

After dismissing the two members of the council, Jasper walked out of the meeting room.

Initially, he wanted to go back to the hotel but when he walked past the reception, someone called out to him.

“Um, M-Mr. Laine.”

Jasper turned his head to look at the receptionist with a smile. The receptionist’s face was red and she looked nervous. Hence, Jasper said, “Hello, can I help you?”

When the receptionist saw how polite and conservative Jasper was, the woman was slightly disappointed. She reapplied her makeup lightly and delicately while Jasper was in the meeting.

After all, the politer he was with her, the more it showed that her beauty was nothing to Jasper.

She sighed in her heart and mustered up the courage to say, “Just now, I saw Mr. Heron barge out of the meeting room looking furious. He was also on the phone but I didn’t hear much, I only heard him saying that he’ll find someone to teach you a lesson, Mr. Laine.”

Jasper was lost for words when he heard that. Then, he smiled at her and said, “Thank you for telling me.”
