Life at the Top

“Hahaha! ”

Dominique laughed cheerfully on the other end of the call.

“I thought that you’d at least seem solemn, if not shocked, when I told you what I knew. Who’d have thought that you’d be so confident? Interesting. Things are getting very interesting.

“Looks like calling you was unnecessary, then.”

Jasper replied with a crescent- eyed smile, “You’re too kind, Little Prince. While I don’t really care whether it’s Conrad or Fabian that’s come over, this was still a very important piece of information. After all, the advantage of insider information is that, more often than not, it lets me plan far ahead.

“Perhaps we could have tea together next time?”

Dominique, who was in a villa on the outskirts of Waterhoof City, chuckled when he heard Jasper and replied, “I can have tea anytime, but… we’ll talk about this again after you resolve this issue.”

Dominique ended the call before he handed his phone to a confidant beside him. Then, he picked up the watering pot and carefully watered the plant in front of him.

“Little Prince, so we’ve decided to invest in Jasper, then?”

The confidant had grown up with Dominique. If this was back in the medieval ages, then this confidant would surely be someone like a personal attendant. This man was a confidant of confidants, so he was also more causal while speaking with Dominique, and which was also why he asked directly.

Dominique focused on the flower he was watering. Once he believed that he had watered it enough, he put the pot back down. The confidant immediately reached out both hands out to take the pot and place it by the side.

Dominique took the towel from the tray his confidant offered him to wipe his hands before he said slowly, “What do you think of my pot of noble orchids?”

The confidant smiled dumbly and replied, “I’m not a sophisticated man, and I don’t really understand the art of exquisite playthings. I can’t seem to understand the concept behind a sunflower that costs hundreds of thousands.”

“Not understanding it is correct.”
