“How did you get in!?” Jasper asked in a surprised and awkward tone.
“Your bodyguard opened the door for me,” Celine replied as she smiled.
Jasper turned and saw Julian awkwardly placing a plate of breakfast the server had brought on the table before he immediately turned around and walked off.
“This guy!” Jasper massaged his temples as he said to Celine, “Please wait for a moment while I freshen up.”
Jasper did not bother waiting for Celine’s reply before he turned around and went to the bathroom.
As he brushed his teeth and mulled over the reasons why Celine would be in his room this early in the morning, Jasper caught sight of Celine leaning against the door to the bathroom. She was gazing at him with an amused look through the corners of her eyes.
He spat out the toothpaste from his mouth and said, “Did you come over this early in the morning to watch a man wash his face and brush his teeth?”
Celine chuckled and said, “I seem to hear a hint of humiliation in your voice.”
“Anyone would feel awkward if someone was staring at them the moment they woke up,” Jasper said.
Celine blinked and said, “You’re a guy. I’m the woman here. I would be the one suffering losses if there were any.”
“So, you mean I have to make things up to you?” Jasper asked.
Celine chuckled and said, “Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. I came over so early in the morning because I couldn’t wait to share this piece of good news with you.”
“Has Colossal Investments finally decided to underwrite the IPO for free for Sena after reading the assessment report?” Jasper asked teasingly.
