After Scott left, Jasper brought Baz to the hospital.
Baz felt despondent, having gone to the hospital two days in a row.
Thank goodness that a checkup revealed that there was not too big a problem.
“Don’t try to take the hit head on if it happens again in the future. Protecting yourself is the most important thing here,” Jasper reminded.
Baz smiled wryly and replied, “I didn’t know that Scott would have his people start attacking me the moment he walked through the door. He caught me off guard.”
Jasper frowned slightly and said, “I’ll do my best to get rid of the problem with the Covington family so that you will have a good environment to work in.”
Baz was stunned for a moment before he quickly replied, “Mr. Laine, do you want me to stay in Tefa City?”
“Why? Do you not dare to do so?” Jasper smiled.
Baz frantically replied, “It’s not that I don’t dare. I’m not afraid of anything, except screwing this up.”
“You were the one who found out about Downstream Investment Company and you’re the one who acquired the company. Now that I’ve bought it, I’m not going to let you run away so easily.”
Jasper joked, then told Baz about what he had been thinkng these days.
“I plan to hand Downstream Investment Company over to you for management.”
Despite already guessing that this was the case, Baz still instinctively rejected Jasper when he heard the man’s proposition.
“No can do, Mr. Laine. I don’t have enough experience and I’m just a normal employee at the company. I won’t be able to suddenly manage a whole company.”
Jasper might not have trusted anyone else, but Baz was different.
