Life at The Top novel Chapter 31

In the car, Wendy could not stop looking at Jasper while driving.

“Is there something on my face?”

Jasper asked her while touching his face. Looking at his reflection in the rear-view mirror, he was no different from other men apart from the fact that he looked a bit more handsome.

There was a dazed expression on Wendy’s face. She registered his question not long after. “I’m just curious. You always treat the people around you with kindness and courtesy. However, you also act pretty cold to other people. Instead of asking Mr. Jones to send them away, you let them remain standing over there. That’s a lot harsher than sending them away.” She chuckled.

“I didn’t think too much into it. To me, they’re simply meaningless passersby in my life. If it wasn’t for the fact that they spoke to you in a derogatory manner, I wouldn’t have even bothered with them.”

Jasper said matter-of-factly. As a person who had lived two lifetimes, how could he not understand the importance of remaining humble?

“As for John, I think he’s a pretty nice person. Besides, he has way more connections than I do locally. There will come a time where we’ll need each other’s help. It’s always better to have one more friend than one more enemy in the business sector.”

“Take today’s incident for example. His appearance saved me from undergoing a lot of trouble. It would be impossible for me to just find someone and show them the balance in my bank account to tell them I’m rich, right?

“Although the feeling of doing so feels pretty great, I can only do it once or twice. Doing it often will make me seem retarded.”

Wendy kept smiling. She seemed to have thought of something. “By the way, are you free tomorrow?” she asked.

“Are we going to meet your father? Sure.”

With a playful smile on his face, Jasper agreed at once.

Wendy was startled. She stared at Jasper in shock while wondering if Jasper knew how to read minds. It seemed like he could always tell what was on her mind.

That was right. After accompanying Jasper and watching him earn a monumental amount of 3.1 billion dollars by trading crude oil futures, Wendy was determined to recommend him to her father.

Her family’s company was currently in a dire situation. Wendy desperately wanted Jasper to help her family resolve this problem.
