Life at the Top

“Jasper, is there something wrong with this invitation?”

Julian had been following Jasper for a very long time. One could even say that Julian was the person Jasper spent the most time with.

It had gotten to the point where Jasper had the habit of bringing Julian wherever he went.

Therefore, Julian knew Jasper very well, and when he saw how Jasper’s expression turn solemn at the sight of the invitation, Julian immediately realized that the situation was more complex than he had initially thought.

“Nothing much.” Jasper shook his head.

He did not have the intention to hide things from Julian, but the situation here involved too many people and Jasper did not know where to start with his explanation.

Lord Alvarado’s appearance caused Jasper to realize that Tefa City’s waters ran deeper than he thought.

He did not have much contact with Lord Alvarado in his past life. Therefore, this sudden invitation was most likely related to his fight with the Covington family. This was coincidentally the worse kind of news for Jasper.

“Tell Baz to speed things up with the headquarters and the staff arrangements. Have him take control of Downstream Investment Company as soon as possible,” Jasper said grimly.

Julian grunted his acknowledgement and left to look for Baz.

When he heard the sound of the door closing, Jasper placed the invitation to the side.

This meal would certainly be a dangerous one to attend, but Jasper did not plan to decline.

Many things could not be avoided. Therefore, he might as well attend generously and decide his next course of action after he better understood the situation. Exquisite House was a renowned private kitchen in Tefa City.

Its superior dishes were also accompanied by superior prices.

With an average meal price of 2000 Somer Dollars per person in the year 2001, one would never see a regular salarymen appear in the restaurant.
