Life at The Top novel Chapter 61

“If it hadn’t been for the invitations that I kept receiving from those few close female classmates, I wouldn’t have gone,” Wendy explained.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t overthink it. It’s Ivan’s own business if he wants to pursue you. There are so many people out there chasing after you.

However, since he’s about to show up in front of you, I want to tell him that he shouldn’t indulge in wishful thinking,” Jasper chuckled.
“Your words make it easy for others to misunderstand our relationship,” Wendy murmured.

“There won’t be any misunderstandings. I mean what I say, and you know it too,” Jasper said affirmatively.

“Hey! You’re not even prepared yet! You… how can you just say that!?”

“What do I need to prepare? What I meant was that you should focus on your work by my side instead of thinking about relationships. As a boss, I don’t want my secretary to be thinking of other men all the time.”

“…Go to hell!”

……

Five o’clock in the evening, Sheraton Hotel.

As one of the first clusters of Western hotel chains in the province, ordinary people could not afford to go to the Sheraton.

A lot of people held a deep sense of curiosity and admiration toward this extravagant five-star hotel.

Jasper’s Bentley gradually came to a stop in front of the hotel entrance. After getting out of the car and throwing the key to the bell boy, Jasper received a call from John.

“Mr. Laine, we’re in the Orchid Chamber. Everyone is waiting for you.”

Jasper glanced at the time and grinned. “I’m in room 407 downstairs. I’ll come up after talking with a few people.”

“407? Alright, we’re waiting for you,” John said with a chuckle.

After hanging up on the call, Jasper and Wendy entered the hotel lobby together.

Although the Sheraton was extremely luxurious for people in the current era, it was way too old-fashioned for someone who has seen the aesthetics 20 years into the future.

“I should get involved in the hotel industry next. None of the hotels of present are notable,” Jasper said casually.

Wendy was already used to Jasper’s eccentric train of thoughts. Just as she was about to speak, a familiar woman appeared in front of them both.

“Wendy Schuler?” the woman remarked in surprise.

Wendy smiled. “Are you Quinny Clint? I almost couldn’t recognize you,” she said.

Quinny’s face was amicable and rather pretty. However, her looks paled in comparison to Wendy.

Despite this, Quinny had a refined demeanor. Jasper remembered her as well; She was a highly-educated and well-mannered girl.

Quinny had dressed up for today’s reunion event. She had bought her dress not too long ago and it was quite a good fit for her.

“I thought that you wouldn’t come.”

Overjoyed upon seeing Wendy, Quinny walked forward and continued speaking.

“I had no choice, you guys kept calling me one by one. I had to come over no matter what…This is Jasper Laine. Do you still remember him?”

Upon hearing Wendy’s words, Quinny looked toward Jasper. She pondered it for quite some time before shaking her head. “It’s been too long, I don’t remember,” she said awkwardly.

Jasper did not mind as well. He laughed. “Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. It’s normal for you to not remember,” he said.
