Life at the Top

Dean’s eyes were full of melancholy. He wanted to tell Jasper everything, but he did not know where to start. At this moment, a pair of broad hands fell on Dean’s shoulders.

“It’s alright, just say whatever you need to. I didn’t forget what your step-grandpa told me. I promised to help you inherit the position of the head of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce, so I will definitely do so.” Jasper patted Dean‘s shoulder to reassure him.

“Okay, Mr. Laine, I’m relieved now that I have your word.”

Dean shifted his gaze and thought for a while before slowly opening his mouth.

“Mr. Laine, as you know, there are many people who are in the tea leaves and lumber business within the Haddock Chamber of Commerce. Those people are old, well-capitalized, and hold a certain rank in the Haddock Chamber of Commerce.”

“Yesterday, those old guys approached me and said they wanted me to step down. They even said that we should take turns being the head of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce.”

“They will come to my house this afternoon. I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold them back myself, so I wanted to ask you to help.”

Dean sighed from time to time, his words laced with some anxiety.

“I see. It’s just as I expected.” Jasper also frowned.

“Mr. Laine, are you saying that you knew this day would come?”

“Yeah.” Jasper nodded.
