“There’s no need to be so courteous, my surname is Laine,” Jasper replied calmly.

“Young Master Laine, I see.”

Ainsley instinctively took in Jasper’s age and referred to him in the same way the youths liked to refer to each other as of late.

Despite this, Jasper chuckled.

Ever since he started his business, Jasper had always been referred to as ‘Mr. Laine’, with the occasional ‘president’ or ‘sir’. This was the first time anyone had called him a young master.

It sounded weird and embarrassing.

“I’m not a young master, nor do I come from a renowned family.” Jasper shook his head. He did not like this title that was filled with negative connotations.

“Mr. Laine!” Ainsley immediately changed the way he addressed him while wearing a flattering and apologetic smile on his face.

“My sincere apologies. I did not know that you were good friends with the little prince, Mr. Laine. Let me go set up a new table next door to apologize, Mr. Laine.”

Ainsley said sincerely.
