“I’ll wait for you to come back.”
Resisting the urge to turn around and hug her, Jasper nodded earnestly. He then turned around walked toward the customs.
On the plane, Jasper took a light nap.
As Jasper’s personal bodyguard, Julian sat right beside him.
“Mr. Laine, you have such a loving relationship with Ms. Schuler,” Julian said.
Jasper opened his eyes and glanced at Julian. He chuckled. “You’re not that young anymore. Should I ask her to introduce a girl to you?”
Julian shook his head solemnly. “Work is my priority,” he replied.
“True. Since we are men, how can we start a family without first having a stable career?”
“Work hard by my side for the next two years. After that, I’ll arrange something for you,” Jasper said.
Julian smiled, but he did not put much thought into his words.
In his mind, protecting Jasper was his topmost priority. Everything else was secondary.
Two hours later, the plane landed at Cavern City International Airport.
Jack Tanner came to pick them up from the airport.
“Mr. Laine, you’re finally here,” Jack said after stepping forward.
Jasper could tell that he had spent an all-nighter working with Hudson and the others from his pale and tired complexion. “Work is important, but you need to rest as well,” he said.
Jack laughed and said, “I can’t help much in terms of technical skills, but it’s my responsibility to manage and reassure all the employees.”
“Let’s talk in the car.”
Jasper led the way as they walked out of the airport.
