Life at The Top novel Chapter 1574

Although Coreana was not big, it was really a long way from the airport to the outskirts where Sentel Corporation was located. Since they were part of a convoy, it was impossible to drive too fast.

Therefore, after the initial greetings and small talk, Jasper, who was extremely tense, fell asleep without even realizing. The cars gentle shaking coupled with the fact that he had continuously stayed up late for the past few days proved too much for him.

They were discussing a topic when Sylphie, who was waiting for Jasper’s response, realized that she did not hear Jasper speak for a long time. Thus, she turned her head and saw that Jasper had fallen asleep whilst leaning against his seat. She could not help feeling quite helpless.

For any woman, the fact that a man could fall asleep while chatting with them was a huge blow to their self-esteem. However, Sylphie was no ordinary woman. She quietly ordered the convoy to drive more slowly. Then, she sat at one side and looked carefully at Jasper. To be honest, Jasper was definitely not the kind of handsome man who would make people feel astonished at first glance.

However, Jasper’ s charm was that the more you looked at him, the more attractive he appeared.

If a woman was only attracted to a man’s appearance, then she could only be described as superficial.

Most of the real charm of a man lay within. If a handsome man was penniless or not ambitious at all, would there be any sensible woman who would want to be with him?

For Sylphie, watching Jasper sleeping in this way was a novel experience. Frankly speaking, this was the first time she had seen a man sleep ever since she became an adult. The last time she had witnessed such a thing was when she saw her father and grandpa take a nap when she was a child. However, there was no comparison between the two. Jasper was a man, or rather, a man of the same age as her.

Like other women, Sylphie could not help being curious. What kind of power was hidden in this man’s seemingly ordinary body that made him reach this point in such a short time?

As he slept, Jasper looked far less aggressive than the memorable impression Sylphie had already formed of him. He had a childlike innocence and calmness to him now, which interested Sylphie.

Forty minutes later, when Jasper awoke, he found that the car had stopped in front of a manor.

Jasper got up and found a thin blanket covering him. He turned his head to Sylphie, who was looking at him, and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I fell asleep.”

“It’s fine. I can tell that you are tired,” Sylphie said.

“Let’s get out of the car. My father is already waiting.” Jasper got out of the car immediately.

In a country like Coreana with a small land mass but an exceptionally developed economy, there was one obvious feature. There were too many people, which made housing prices outrageously expensive. The manor where Sentel Corporation was located had occupied a decadent amount of floor space.

Jasper got out of the car and went directly into the manor with Sylphie in the lead.

In the living room, a burly middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Sylphie greeted him.

“Welcome, guest from Somerland.”

Sylphie’s father and the next head of Sentel Corporation, Emil Lang greeted Jasper in Coreana. Sylphie interpreted next to him so Jasper was not worried about not understanding him.

“Mr. Emil, thank you for your hospitality.”

As he faced someone like Emil, who would take over the entire Sentel Corporation in a few years and also caused a series of earth-shattering events himself, Jasper suddenly became quite alert.

In his previous life, he could only get to know Emil through the media and the Internet, but now that he was standing in front of the man himself, he found that Emil was actually very nice to talk to. Perhaps this was also one of the reasons why he would cause internal conflicts within this plutocratic family in the future.

He was not assertive enough.

After the two exchanged greetings, Emil smiled and said, “My father is already in the study. Why don’t we go straight up?”
