Julian opened the door and the Combe siblings bowed to Julian with smiling faces.
As the second generation of a rich family, they were well aware that it was easy to meet up with the lord but the assistant beside the lord would be difficult to deal with. If they were to offend Julian, this bodyguard of Jasper’s could easily speak ill of them in front of Jasper from time to time. That would be the worst case that they would be regretful of.
“Come in, Brother Laine is waiting for you guys.”
Julian said it calmly and did not bother with the two of them.
Hector and Jacob dared not waste a single second and ran into the waiting area. They stood politely in front of Jasper and asked, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Laine.”
Jasper spun around and looked at the siblings. ‘I haven’t seen them in a few days. They don’t seem to be different but their attitudes have changed drastically.
‘They suddenly have the desire to live now.’
“Are you guys so scared of me?” said Jasper playfully.
Hector smiled awkwardly and said, “To tell you the truth, Mr. Laine, we’re slightly afraid.”
Hector also added in a better manner, “Previously, us siblings, especially me, did not know our standings and offended you, Mr. Laine. Fortunately, Mr. Laine was generous enough to forgive us and let us off the hook. Now that we’re meeting you again, we do feel a little scared.”
Jasper smiled but did not doubt the sincerity of the two siblings.
“That’s right. As children of rich families, you have your targets set high up and are able to trample over others with the authority of your family background, but it’s also because of this that you’ll feel fear more than the ordinary person. You’ll even be able to see through things better.
“I have a small favor to request from you two. I believe you’ll be able to get it done properly.”
After listening to Jasper’s comments, both Hector and Jacob were delighted and sorrowful at the same time.
They were delighted because they were able to get on Jasper’s good side. Regardless of the consequences to themselves or their family, it was definitely a good thing.
At the same time, they were sorrowful because Jasper had requested them to do him a favor. ‘Regardless of how small the favor is, I don’t think it’ll truly be such a small favor?’
Given Jasper’s capability, they no longer dared to be suspicious of him.
