Jasper smiled and patted Wendy’s hand to comfort her and asked, “Did you not go to work?”
“I’m leaving now.”
Wendy got up and reminded him, “Remember to get some more rest in the afternoon after you eat then.”
“Alright. I won’t come into the company, but I’m sure it’ll be fine with you and Malcolm there,” Jasper said with a smile.
“All you know how to do is to push your responsibilities onto other people! I’m going to need a pay raise by the end of the year!” Wendy demanded.
“Sure, sure, I’ll give you my being too. Is that enough for you?”
“As if I’d want that!”
After joking with Jasper, Wendy left for the company.
With JW Capital’s subsidiaries gaining traction, Wendy had also gotten busier as one of the major supervisors to the projects. Jasper was rarely at the company, so she had to watch over them for him. These businesses were essentially under her charge.
Malcolm was very capable too, and he had shouldered quite a bit of her responsibilities. This solidified how great of a decision it was for Jasper and Wendy to pay such a high price to get Malcolm to work for them.
Wendy had only just left when Julian entered through the doors.
“Jasper.”
Eyes slightly closed, Jasper felt his energy return with full force when he heard Julian’s voice. Flipping himself around, Jasper asked, “Did you find anything?”
Julian reported seriously, “There are a few leads. With regards to the villa that Mitch and Zane went to yesterday, I did some checking on who the property belonged to and found out that it was bought by a Somer businessman from Nauritus City who returned from overseas four years ago.
“The most interesting part is that this Somer businessman had not returned to Somerland for decades, and the first thing he did once he returned was to buy a villa. Then, he left the country a few weeks after the villa was bought and he’s never been back since.
