This showcased the importance of having a driver like Julian and the need to have soundproof curtains that separated the backseat from the front.
If Jasper had been the one driving, he would probably have crashed right into a ditch after that.
Firstly, it was because he never expected Celine to suddenly become flirty and passionate that quickly.
Secondly, it was because Jasper was reminded of how Wendy had prepared a steaming plate of pasta for him last night.
It caused Jasper to feel just the slightest bit guilty.
“Alright, alright, I’m just messing with you. I won’t eat anything you prepare even if you begged me to. Look at the shock on your face.”
Celine straightened her body as she complained to Jasper.
Although she seemed fine on the surface, women had always been difficult to understand. No one could tell if Celine was genuinely fine with things.
Jasper pulled the curtain apart as he asked Julian to drive them to a place that served good supper before he asked Celine, “So why did you come to Southeast Province all of a sudden?”
Celine had initially planned to tell Jasper it was because she missed him, but after seeing the odd expression on his face, she huffed and said…
“Just pretend as if I’m a client making a return visit. After all, both parties have gained huge benefits from working with you. I even got a promotion. So, Mr. Laine, are you pleased with the service you’ve received from Colossal Investments?”
“Yes, I’m satisfied,” Jasper replied solemnly.
Celine giggled as she said, “Moreover, I have another piece of news for you.”
