Life at the Top

After walking out of the restaurant, Jasper bid Vita and John goodbye.

“Well, since we didn’t get to eat the blowfish today, looks like you’ll have to go and look for something else to eat, Vita,” Jasper joked.

Vita smiled wryly and said in a slightly embarrassedly tone, “The dinner was supposed to be something great. Who’d have thought that this incident would destroy everyone’s good mood.”

“What do you mean destroy?”

Jasper glanced at John and said with a smile, “I was in a pretty good mood tonight. Weren’t you, John?”

John understood Jasper’s intention and internally exclaimed to himself how smooth and slick a person Jasper was. He told Vita, “It’s fine, Vita. Don’t worry about something so insignificant. We’re all friends here, so let’s not dwell on what’s already happened.”

Vita nodded, feeling much less conflicted as he replied, “You’re right. I’ll owe you guys this meal then, and invite you out again when I find something good later.”

“You better tell me in advance. I’ll eat less for breakfast so I can eat more out of your wallet,” Jasper said.

The three exchanged a look before laughing out loud. Jasper had originally planned to talk to the two a little longer before his phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was a call from Jake, Jasper knew that the other would not contact him so late at night unless it was something important.

“Alright. I still have a few things to do, so let’s talk more in the future,” Jasper said as he opened the car door.

Neither John nor Vita asked him to stay. The two each promised to meet again before they watched Jasper’s Bentley drive away.

“Sigh. I remember the first time I saw him when he wanted to buy a plot of land in Waterhoof City. He was just a slightly wealthy businessman back then.”
