“Am I crazy?” Jasper’s eyes widened as he looked at Celine and spoke, “You’re the crazy one here. Why didn’t you tell me anything?”
Celine lifted her hand to tuck the stray wisps of hair behind her ear as she replied, “It’s my business. Why do I have to tell you what I do?”
Jasper replied calmly. “In that case, my promise with Paulson is also my business, and I don’t have to explain it to you, yes?”
“You!” Celine’s eyes widened as she glared at him, infuriated by Jasper’s words.
The next second, however, the woman’s eyes shifted and she smiled secretly, “You’re actually planning to provide for me? Why else would you go through all that just to get me out of the investigation?”
“I just don’t want you to get involved in other matters because of me, especially when I’m certain that nothing is going on between us. I don’t make it a habit to sit and watch as someone else gets blamed for something they didn’t do.”
“Moreover, if you can tell Colossal Investment’s board of directors that you’ll resign and pay thrice the value of the commission if Sena doesn’t meet an IPO price of 100 US Dollars, then what’s stopping me from raising it to 120 US Dollars?”
Jasper looked at Celine seriously and spoke, “You have to trust me and Sena. 100 US Dollars to 120 US Dollars isn’t that big of a difference.”
“In that case, what are you planning on doing next?” Celine asked.
“Advertise it, what else? I have to try and tell all the investors within the United States that Sena is a share that they will definitely profit from. If I don’t you’ll lose your job, and I’ll lose both my reputation and my dignity,” Jasper spoke with a shrug.
Celine furrowed her brows as the cheerful look that she always wore vanished.
She was thinking of a plan that would greatly raise Sena’s share prices.
“To be honest, it’s all the same for me regardless of if this promise existed or not,” Jasper looked at Celine as he spoke.
