Roy’s expression paled when he heard this.
Standing beside him, Gerry immediately understood that Jasper’s words were actually directed at himself. After all, he had been in working in the industry for a long time.
His expression changed and Gerry smiled wryly at Jasper. “Mr. Laine, this restaurant has quite a few shareholders and Roy is one of them. I may hold more shares than him, but it wouldn’t be right to just fire him.”
“Hmm. You’re right. There’s no such thing as firing a shareholder.” Jasper nodded understandingly.
Roy let out an internal sigh of relief when he heard Jasper’s reply. At the same time, he also lost a bit of respect for the man. ‘Looks like Mr. Laine isn’t all that great. His identity’s just slightly more formidable, but not unimaginably so.’
‘See? Isn’t Jasper also admitting that there’s nothing he can do?’
‘I’ll just need to treat him to a meal after this to apologize. Then, we can all move on from this.’
With that thought, Roy could not help but feel gleeful again.
He looked at Tiffany secretly and his chest burned with desire.
‘Turns out, this Mr. Laine isn’t even that powerful. I’ll give him room to back off then I’ll secretly make this woman mine. There’s nothing he can possibly do anyway once I’ve had a taste of her.’
Roy felt extremely excited when he thought of that, and he felt the urge to pull Tiffany into his arms.
Yet, he did not know that Jasper was aware of every minute change in his expression and gaze.
Scoffing, Jasper said, “Since you can’t fire a shareholder, then you’ll just have to close the restaurant down.”
Roy was stunned when he heard Jasper as he looked at the man confusedly. He wondered if he had imagined the man’s words.
Gerry’s expression turned disgruntled, but he could not refute Jasper.
