Hearing Jasper’s words, Wendy asked curiously, “What does he want?”
“What a manager whose highest ambition is to realize his ideals needs is a stage where he can display his true talents.” Jasper smiled. “Coincidentally, that’s exactly what I’m offering.”
Wendy did not understand completely, but it seemed like something great.
Instead of bringing Wendy to Jack’s office, Jasper went to a coffee shop with her in tow instead.
Having read Jack’s autobiography thoroughly, Jasper knew that this coffee shop was the place Jack loved the most while he worked in Andros. It was a place he was sure to drop by after work every day.
“A cappuccino and a Jamaican Blue Mountain, please.”
After ordering, both Jasper and Wendy went to sit by the window.
Wendy wanted to ask why Jasper did not go to the man’s office, but since Jasper was not saying anything, she suppressed the urge to ask.
Wendy was now aware of how Jasper did things, including the fact of how he would always plan first before he acted. Every time he acted, it was always with a hundred percent success rate.
Ten minutes later, the doors to the coffee shop were pushed open and an unattractive man in a suit walked in.
“The usual, Mr. Tanner?”
The server seemed very familiar with him and smiled as he asked.
“Yeah,” Jack replied and walked over to the table he always sat at. However, he was shocked when he realized that a young couple was already sitting there.
Jack did not comment on the fact that they had stolen his seat and gave Jasper a polite smile before he searched for an empty table instead.
Just as Jack turned to look for a seat, Jasper spoke.
