“This is the boss of our company.” Sully introduced hurriedly.
“Mr. Laine, these are my parents.”
Sully’s parents became more nervous when they heard that Jasper was actually the boss of JW.
They had never made contact with such a big shot before, and then when they thought of the jokes they had made before, they were suddenly so nervous that they did not know what to say.
Jasper sensed their nervousness, but naturally, he would not embarrass them. When he saw such a simple and honest couple, he naturally thought of his own parents. With a light sigh, Jasper said, “Okay, I’ll not stay and interrupt your business.”
As he said that, Jasper patted Sully on the shoulder and said, “I still owe your family two dollars and fifty cents for the meal. I really don’t have any cash with me. I will send someone to bring it back.”
Sully waved his hand hurriedly. “No, we can’t take it, Mr. Laine. We can’t take the money.”
“Nonsense, this is your parents’ hard-earned money, and they should take it. How can you not accept it?”
Jasper ignored Sully and said to the middle-aged couple. “Thank you, today was really embarrassing. I don’t have any money with me, so can I please owe it for a while?”
The couple hurriedly rejected but Jasper did not say much. After they chatted for a while, Jasper left.
“Son, your boss is so young.”
Long after Jasper left, the wife of the shop owner said to her son, who was still looking at the door in a daze.
“Yes, he is a legend in our country.” Sully sighed and said with some excitement, “I can boast about what happened today in the company for the rest of my life.”
“You can’t tell them.”
