Life at The Top novel Chapter 6

They were classmates of six years throughout junior high and high school. During high school, they were even once deskmates.

Wendy Schuler was the prettiest and smartest girl in school. Other than being competent, she had the looks as well. After all these years, she had become even more feminine and pretty!
Meanwhile, Jasper was a completely different story. He constantly got bullied as his family was poor. Wendy was the only one who never bullied him.

At that young and ignorant age, Jasper had once imagined the possibility of being in a relationship with her.

Nevertheless, the gap between them was way too large. Eventually, Wendy managed to get into a top university whereas Jasper attended an ordinary one. The both of them lost contact after that.

Then, Jasper met Penelope and applied all the hidden feelings he had for Wendy to her instead.

From the way things turned out, Penelope was not worth it at all. However, this did not affect the lovely memories he had of Wendy.

“Jasper Laine, is it really you?”

Wendy gasped upon catching sight of Jasper. A glint of disbelief and shock flashed through her pretty eyes.

When she heard that the big client John wanted her to take on was called Jasper Laine, she simply thought that it was someone with the same name and surname.

As soon as she set eyes on him in the reception room, she knew that he was her old classmate. Although many years had gone by and their appearances had changed a lot, she recognized him right away.

The quietest and most ordinary person back in school then was now one of the Commercial Bank’s big clients? She even had to become his personal assistant?

Wendy could not believe it.

“Long time no see, Wendy,” Jasper said while smiling warmly.

“The both of you know each other?”

John was shocked upon finding out that the both of them were old friends.

“We’re old classmates.”

John laughed out loud. Since Jasper was reluctant to reveal much, he did not ask much as well. He simply instructed Wendy to serve Jasper well as he was a respected client.

After bidding John goodbye, the both of them headed toward the securities company. “I can’t believe that you’re a millionaire now. If our classmates find out, they’ll be shocked,” Wendy said.

“It just happened by chance. I never expected to meet you again one day,” Jasper said in response.

Wendy laughed softly. Her beauty was unbelievable.

Wendy’s beauty was not gaudy. She was as pure and genuine as a lotus flower. Each and every one of her small details made one’s heart skip a beat.

“I never expected to see you again too. You’ve changed… a lot!” Wendy exclaimed.

“How was I in the past? What about now?” Jasper asked.

Wendy burst out into laughter. “You’ve spoken more to me in the time we just met than the six years we were classmates. You were quiet back then. You did not fight back against others despite being bullied. You were extremely socially awkward,” she said.

As Wendy spoke, she set her clear gaze upon Jasper. His silhouette was reflected clearly in his eyes. “You’re immensely confident now. There’s an indescribable aura surrounding you. You seem like a really experienced person, but you have the liveliness one at your age is supposed to have as well. In conclusion… you’re different,” she said.
