Life at The Top novel Chapter 1051

The trio talked as they walked toward the buffet.

Stared hotels’ buffets were pretty consistent and Jasper had already gotten tired of the food they provided from business trips his past life, let alone this present one.

Jasper simply grabbed a plate of food and asked Sean as he ate, “Oh, right. How’s the injured worker doing? Is everyone else on the construction site doing okay?”

Sean replied, “He woke up already. Fortunately, it was just a fracture of his spine. There’s still hope for him and he should be alright after a year or so. But from how the doctor seemed, I don’t think he’d be able to get back to construction work in the future.

“But their emotions are considerably steady, they’re really grateful to you too, Mr. Laine. They’ve been asking to come and thank you themselves but I declined them.

“The workers on the site are doing well. We’ve calmed most of them, mainly because they know you’re looking out for them, Mr. Laine. No one made a ruckus and they’ve all gotten back to catch up on lost work.”

Jasper nodded and spoke, “Comprehensive compensations are a must when it comes to situations like this. It’s too small a sum to matter to the company, but it’s enough to save these workers. They’re using their entire life’s health in return for what’s an insignificant amount of money to us. We cannot and will not deduct compensations, this is our bottom line.

“And ask him if he has any plans after he gets better. If he wants to continue working for us, then assign him a more leisurely position, but let him go if he doesn’t want to stay.”

“Alright, Mr. Laine, I understand,” Sean replied.

After eating, Jasper got up and spoke, “Go get some rest later. I still need your help to keep an eye out for the real estate company. I won’t have the time to check up on it for the coming two days.”

“Are you going back, Mr. Laine?” Sean asked.

“No, I’ll be staying in Waterhoof City for the time being. There’s no way I’d just move on after getting plotted against,” Jasper replied calmly.

Under Norman’s efforts, the Haddock Chamber of Commerce’s Waterhoof City Branch had moved to the business center in Peace CBD after Jasper had kicked them out from their original address.

The Haddock Chamber of Commerce had always been known for its abundance of wealth. They had leased three whole floors for their office, costing at least a million a year for rent.

This was the first time Jasper had come here to the Chamber since he had assumed the position of Waterhoof City branch’s Vice President half a year ago.

Pushing open the door, Jasper saw the word ‘Haddock’ written in huge cursive letters, representing the Haddock Chamber of Commerce.

“Hello, who are you looking for?” The receptionist was beautiful and dignified as she greeted Jasper politely.

“I’m looking for President Norman, is he here?” Jasper asked with a smile.

“Mr. Gardner? He’s not in. But his daughter Miss Lisa is… Miss Gardner, someone’s looking for Mr. Gardner.”

Jasper turned around and locked gazes with Lisa who happened to walk out.

“It’s you,” Lisa spoke expressionlessly.

“It’s me,” Jasper replied calmly, “You expected that I’d come here, didn’t you?”

Lisa sneered and replied, “Why would I be able to guess when and why you’d arrive, Mr. Vice President?”

“That’s alright, I’ll tell you then. The asset conference is about to begin, I’m here to get my materials,” Jasper spoke.
