Life at the Top

When Jasper woke up, it was already early evening. He had slept for more than ten hours. Instead of feeling refreshed, Jasper’s head felt heavy. When he came out of the room, Dawson and Wendy had not gotten off work and came back home yet.

The housekeeper, Mrs. Clarkson, saw Jasper and said in surprise, “Mr. Laine, you look unwell.”

Jasper rubbed his face and said, “Maybe I caught a cold. Is there any cold medicine at home?”

There were always some basic medicines at home and a few spares could be found in the first aid kit during an emergency, so obtaining a box of cold medicine was not a difficult task.

Mrs. Clarkson took out a box of cold medicine and gave it to Jasper. Then, she watched him take it before saying, “Mr. Laine, you always stay up late so your biological clock is reversed. No matter how busy you are, you have to take care of your body.”

“As the old saying goes, the body is the capital of the revolution. You can‘t feel it since you are young, but you will have to repay the debts to your body when you’re at. my age.”

Listening to Mrs. Clarkson’s nagging, Jasper smiled and said, “I know, I know. When I’m done with this, I will take a good rest.”

“You people always say the same thing. What do you mean by after you’re done or after you have finished this thing at hand? When will there ever be an end to your work? It is necessary to know how to balance work and rest, or else money will mean nothing even if you have lots of it when you eventually break down.”

As she was nagging, Mrs. Clarkson brought out a bowl of chicken soup. She said, “Miss Wendy specifically asked me to make this chicken soup for you before she went out. It has been simmering for a day. It was made from an old hen that has been raised in the countryside for three years, so it’ll be very nourishing. Hurry up and drink it so that you can eat dinner later.”

Jasper took a sip of the chicken soup. It tasted mellow and rich, and his mouth was filled with the unique fragrance of chicken.

“Wow, it’s delicious.”

When Jasper saw that Mrs. Clarkson was going to cook, he said hurriedly, “You don’t have to prepare my dinner. I’m going out soon and won’t be back tonight.”
