Life at The Top novel Chapter 1008

Jasper agreed to meet Wayne in the Imperial Kitchen.

The three were now much closer than when they had met for the first time, but there was still an invisible barrier between Jasper and the other two.

Jasper still had a smile on his face when he shook Wayne’s hand. Then, he pulled out a complete set of Grimms’ Fairy Tales.

“Both Volume 1 and 2. I know that you’re a fan of fairytales, and that you’ve love Grimms’ work a lot, Mr. Marlon. So I had someone find a complete set in Harbor City. I hope it’s to your liking.”

Wayne was surprised to receive such a gift.

“Thank you, Mr. Laine. I’ll treasure this gift,” Wayne put away the books happily.

The three then slipped into their seats.

Both Jasper and Wayne were well aware that this present was merely a conversation starter. No matter how valuable this gift was, it would hold no sway in their negotiation later.

Dinner began and instead of jumping straight to business negotiations, Jasper chatted aimlessly with Wayne and Jose.

Having lived five to six decades his past life and been through quite a lot in this timeline, Jasper was able to add his own two cents to any given topic. Wayne was also a talkative person, so coupled with Jose occasional comments, the atmosphere was harmonious as the three chatted.

After dinner was over, Jasper placed his cutlery down lightly.

At that moment, the two men who would one day become Somerland’s most formidable figures in the dot-com industry could not help but place their cutlery down as well.

No matter what their future held, Jasper’s current wealth and status were not something Wayne and Jose could compare to. Thus, it would be inappropriate if they continued to eat once Jasper stopped.

“Oh, right. Something interesting happened today.”
