This was his first time meeting the little prince Dominique Royal, but Jasper almost choked on the other’s air of pretentiousness.
Jasper looked at Dominique, who remained seated on his chair, showing no intention of turning to acknowledge him. Jasper gave it some thought before he smiled.
When it came to acting pretentious, Jasper liked to think that he was just as good as anyone else.
“I cannot hold onto the people who turn away from me. After all, the past will only add on to my troubles.”
“On the contrary, I much prefer the future. A time where everything is uncertain and up to us to decide.”
Jasper strode into the room with his head held high as he talked.
Julian took in the situation and followed instinctively.
Only for Coffey to tilt his body slightly and stood in his path.
“My apologies. Like me, you can only wait outside the doors.”
Coffey gave Julian a small smile and said gently.
The man’s tone was calm, but his gaze was firm and held no room for argument.
Julian’s pupils contracted and his chilling aura exploded. He replied indifferently, “And if I must enter?”
Coffey replied with a small smile, “No one can cause trouble in front of the little prince.”
Julian narrowed his eyes and stepped forward.
With that, the two men who were already standing close to one another physically clashed.
Julian’s left shoulder knocked against Coffey’s right, the former trying to enter the room while the other standing in his path.
