Life at The Top novel Chapter 1045

At the construction site’s duty room.

The doors were pushed open, and Jasper felt the thick smell of alcohol hit him in the face right as he walked through the door.

Cigarette buds and bottles of alcohol were littered all over the duty room. There was even some leftover food as well.

It was evident that some gathering was held here last night, and a rambunctious one at that.

This was proven by the fact that the smell of cigarettes and alcohol had yet to disperse even though it was almost noon.

Jasper’s gaze soon fell on the bed in the duty room. On it was a young man in his thirties, sleeping away under his blanket.

“Go wake him up,” Jasper instructed the vice president beside him.

Not daring to hesitate, the vice president jogged over to the bed and shook Rohin awake. Thankfully, this was rather easy.

“Tadhg?” Rohin blinked open his alcohol-muddled eyes. Seeing that it was his colleague, he waved his hand and said, “Leave me alone. Let me go back to sleep, I had too f*cking much to drink last night.”

Rohin then turned around to see a group of people looking at him strangely at the duty room doors.

“What’s with the people?” Rohin asked confusedly, having yet realized what was happening.

Tadhg, who had shaken him awake, whispered awkwardly, “Sober up already. Something huge happened and Mr. Laine’s here.”

“Mr. Laine? Which Mr. Laine?” Rohin had drunk himself stupid and he scoffed. “Since when did our company have another Mr. Laine? Stop being so noisy, Tadhg, and shoo everyone away. I’ll wake up after a bit more sleep, I won’t be delaying anything.

“Seriously, Mr. Tucker must’ve been crazy to call all three of us vice presidents to take turns being on duty at the construction site. Like, what’s the point of s being on duty anyway? What a waste of time.”

Tadhg felt beads of cold sweat trickle over his forehead, and he quickly spoke, “Stop talking. It’s Mr. Laine from the parent company, open your eyes and take a good look!”

Rohin was stunned. Blinking as he looked to the door, he was instantly met with Jasper’s icy gaze.

Jasper’s eyes pierced deep into Rohin’s soul like two emotionless knives.

Rohin was shocked sober the instant their eyes met, and he shuddered suddenly. At the same time, he flipped over and fell off the bed.

Ignoring how embarrassed he looked and how painful the fall felt, Rohin frantically got up to explain himself only to find that Jasper had already turned and left.

“I want everyone present above the rank of deputy manager to come to the meeting next door. I have an important announcement to make.”

Rohin fell on his butt at that. He did not dare to say another word.

Tadhg sighed and spoke to Rohin before he left the room, “Good luck, man. Someone almost died over at the site while Mr. Laine came in secret. You essentially got caught red-handed.

“I told you before, Rohin. Something bad’s going to happen if you kept up your inattentive attitude. You’re basically screwed.”

“Tadhg!” Rohin grabbed Tadhg’s clothes and spoke frightfully, “Help me put in a good word! Or it’ll really be over for me this time!”

“What can I say?” Tadhg felt fear creep up within him at the memory of Jasper’s frosty expression.

“You should clean yourself and sober up before you go next door and ask for forgiveness. Maybe Mr. Laine will be kind and forgive you then. But no one can help you otherwise.”
