By the car stood Celine who greeted him with a mesmerizing smile.
“So handsome,” Celine praised as Jasper walked over.
Jasper smiled and replied, “A woman’s beauty lies in her features and her aura, but it takes more than a man’s appearance to look handsome.”
“Is that you showing off how successful you are now?” Celine asked Jasper.
It was a beautiful sight to behold.
Under everyone’s inquisitive gaze and cameras flashing, Jasper knew better than to flirt with Celine here. So he merely smiled and bent down to get in the car.
“Wuss,” Celine muttered and turned to get in as well.
The line of cars began to move and it broke past the crowd and made its way to Nasdaq Center.
Jasper’s hotel was only five minutes on foot away from Nasdaq Center, but Colossal Investments had already arranged cars for the occasion.
After all, this group of people was going to ring the Nasdaq Opening Bell. How could they simply just walk over?
It took a couple of minutes and the line of cars arrived.
“There’ll be a ceremony later and Nasdaq’s president, Franklin, will come out in a show of how much they value a Somerland enterprise. It’s more political than business, so don’t think too much about it. It’s just formality,” Celine whispered to Jasper.
Jasper nodded in understanding.
