Something like this could only happen in the early 2000s, and it was only possible in Somerland.
Julian came into the room to give Jasper a reminder. “Jasper, it’s about time to sign the contract with Sentel Corporation. Your appointment is coming up soon,” he said, instantly interrupting Jasper’s train of thought.
Jasper patted his forehead, grabbed his coat and left the room. “Should I hire an assistant? You shouldn’t be carrying out these duties all the time,” he said.
Julian scratched his head and replied, “I can carry out simple tasks, but I may not be able to handle it once your work gets more complicated.”
“Let’s discuss again when that happens,” Jasper said with a chuckle.
He was yet to decide on a management team at the investment company. Therefore, Jasper was not in the mood to recruit a secretary for himself either.
After returning to Sentel Corporation, the secretary led Jasper to a small meeting room.
“Please wait for a moment, Mr. Laine. The person in charge of signing the contract on our side will be here very soon,” the secretary said politely. After serving him some tea, the secretary left the room.
After that, Jasper waited for twenty whole minutes.
It seemed like nobody intended to open the tightly shut door. A slight frown formed across Jasper’s face.
It was quite unusual for a formal contemporary company like Sentel Corporation to make such a rookie mistake as to leave a client that they were about to sign a contract with alone in a meeting room for half an hour.
If this was not a mistake, then they it was likely that there was a problem with the contract on their part.
Just as Jasper was about to lose his patience, the door suddenly opened.
Jasper’s eyes lit up upon catching sight of the person that entered the room.
Sentel Corporation was indeed one of the top 500 companies worldwide. Even the person in charge of signing the contract was gorgeous.
