Life at The Top novel Chapter 640

Now that matters regarding Fallon had been taken care of, this relieved one of Jasper’s anxieties.

However, Jasper could not help feeling that Fallon’s behavior toward Wendy was a bit unusual, especially in the way she looked at Wendy. The way Fallon gazed upon her was exactly the way he himself gazed at Wendy.

This made Jasper feel rather uneasy.

As a result, the next day, Jasper requested two female bodyguards from Dawson. Although they were likely not on par with Fallon in terms of ability, their forte was that they were professional and reliable. Jasper’s main objective for hiring them was to keep an eye on Fallon.

When Fallon found out about Jasper’s decision, she immediately went to see him, looking extremely dissatisfied.

“Jasper, what is the meaning of this? Don’t you trust me?

“Those two you’ve just hired—I can dispose of them with just one finger.”

Jasper was sorting out some clothes. After listening to what Fallon had to say, he replied coolly and calmly, “Didn’t you say you wanted freedom and time for yourself? Now that I’ve hired two more bodyguards, you can take things a bit easier.”

“But…”

Fallon still wanted to say something, but then she noticed Jasper looking at her.

Truthfully speaking, Fallon could easily deal with an ordinary person like Jasper—she could do it with just one finger even. Yet she did not know why she felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up as Jasper fixed her with a seemingly calm, serene gaze.

It was the same sort of feeling that one would get if they were being scrutinized by a ferocious beast. The sheer unadulterated pressure on her nerves made her apprehensive.

“I’m usually an easy person to talk to most of the time, so you can also express your own opinions, and I’ll take them into consideration. However, when I’ve made a decision on any particular matter, I don’t wish to hear any voices raised in opposition. Do you understand me?”

Fallon nodded instinctively when she heard what Jasper had to say.
