Jasper did not entertain people who thought the world revolved around them just because they were of higher status.
Jasper had just finished speaking when the meeting room doors were pushed open and a middle-aged man entered the room with two other staff in tow.
The middle-aged man leading them was Jon Foxx, a man the higher-ups sent to go over the guest list.
“For a man so young, you sure have quite the temper, Mr. Laine. What’s this? I arrive right on the dot and you’re already so displeased. Who knows what you would’ve done if I came late?” Jon sneered at Jasper.
“Ted!”
Jasper suddenly frowned and shouted.
Ted was the name of Easy Media’s vice president. The man was wiping his sweat when Jasper called his name and it startled him. He quickly replied, “Present, Mr. Laine!”
“Why is there an unknown outsider in the company’s meeting room?” Jasper asked calmly.
Ted’s pupils constricted, and his complexion paled. His eyes darted toward Jon who was fuming. He bemoaned internally and bitterly. He wondered why he had to be caught in the crossfire.
“What are you saying, Jasper? I’m the team leader the higher-ups sent over to supervise the guest list. How dare you chase me out?!”
Jon pointed at Jasper as he roared, “Can you even bear the responsibility if anything goes wrong with the banquet?!”
Jasper smiled before he replied calmly, “Oh, so you’re the person the higher-ups sent to join the meeting. How am I supposed to know who you are when you just charged into my meeting room out of the blue and started reprimanding me about my temper without even telling me who you are?”
Jon’s gaze turned cold as he scoffed. “Are you telling me I’m wrong about your temper? Don’t think that because you’re the host here that you can ignore the higher-ups’ wishes. You’re still too young to fight with them!”
Jasper merely replied, “I do respect the higher-ups. I just don’t like pretentious people.”
“What did you say?!” Jon clenched his teeth.
