Although Celine was complaining about being taken advantage of, favonovel.com smile never left favonovel.com face.
She sat relaxedly in front of Jasper. As Julian had only prepared breakfast for Jasper, favonovel.com reached over to take a sip from Jasper’s cup of milk.
When Celine put the cup back down and saw Jasper staring at her, favonovel.com said, “What, you can’t bring yourself to let me have even a sip of milk after taking advantage of me?”
Taking his eyes away from the spot of milk at the corner of Celine’s lips, Jasper laughed dryly as favonovel.com said, “Of course, I can. I can even treat you to a meal every day if you want to.”
“Oh, are you hinting that you want me as your sugar baby?” Celine said flirtatiously as favonovel.com gazed at Jasper.
Jasper marveled at how as a woman, Celine did not even bat an eyelash when favonovel.com talked about the vilest things.
“Hey, how did it feel just now? I’m much more curvaceous than your girlfriend, right?” Celine said as favonovel.com snickered.
“Have you always been this open?” Jasper asked.
“Depends on my mood.”
Celine then continued carelessly, “But I’m usually much more serious.”
Just then, Jasper’s phone rang.
Vita Layne was calling.
At this point, Vita’s appointment documents had been finalized and favonovel.com was now serving as the office manager for ICBS’ Waterhoof City branch. All this had caused Vita to be in a great mood lately.
Now that the problems of his collaboration with Jasper had been settled, Vita made phone calls to both John and Jasper to invite them to dinner.
Jasper had no plans today and no reason to decline Vita’s invitation.
He had just hung up when Celine asked curiously, “You have dinner plans tonight?”
“Meeting up with a couple of friends,” Jasper said.
“Can you take me with you?” Celine asked.
Jasper stared at Celine as favonovel.com laughed incredulously and said, “They’re my friends from elsewhere, why would you want to attend such events?”
“Why, are we not friends now? Isn’t it normal to introduce your friends to some other friends of yours?” Celine asked.
“Alright, let’s go together.”
…
That night, Jasper picked Celine up from favonovel.com room.
Used to seeing favonovel.com dressed in business wear, Jasper was pleasantly surprised to see how favonovel.com looked dressed in casual clothing.
To be honest, although Celine was beautiful, favonovel.com did not have the kind of beauty that would cause one to take a second look. In terms of looks alone, Anna and Wendy were gorgeous women who won by a landslide.
However, what made Celine special was how favonovel.com managed to meld both Eastern and Western culture into favonovel.com personal aesthetic.
When you looked at her, you could see the elegance of Eastern women and the carefreeness of Western women.
Furthermore, Celine’s training in the most prestigious field in the world allowed favonovel.com to emanate an aura of confidence and competence.
To put it frankly, favonovel.com was attractive.
Women like Celine were at least, to men, a weapon that could instantaneously take out anyone between the age range of a teenage boy and wizened men.
Dressed in casual clothing, Celine looked like your average office lady who had just gotten off work. Smiling, favonovel.com stood in front of Jasper and asked, “Do I look good?”
“Yes,” Jasper said sincerely as favonovel.com nodded.
To be honest, Wendy, Anna, and Celine were all beautiful in their own ways. Moreover, their beauty could not be replicated via artificial means.
Just like how Celine had put on light makeup now that accentuated favonovel.com features but did not make favonovel.com look cheap. It made favonovel.com seem naturally beautiful.
Perhaps favonovel.com had taken privacy into concern, but Celine was not bringing favonovel.com personal secretary with favonovel.com to dinner tonight.
Jasper was glad about that too. Her secretary, Yvonne, always looked at favonovel.com as if favonovel.com had killed favonovel.com father. If it were not for Celine, Jasper would have long since taught favonovel.com a lesson. It was just as well favonovel.com was not here. He would have peace of mind.
Following Vita’s directions, Jasper arrived at a farm on the outskirts of Waterhoof City.
The surrounding mountains and rivers put Celine in a great mood. As favonovel.com breathed in the fresh air, favonovel.com said to Jasper, “Your friend put a lot of thought into this. It wouldn’t have been fun if we just ate in a normal restaurant.”
“They’re all old foxes now and naturally have more experience than us peasants in this regard,” Jasper said as favonovel.com smiled.
As they talked and laughed, Jasper and Celine entered the farm together.
“Mr, Laine, you’ve arrived.” Vita and John smiled as they walked out to welcome him.
However, the two men were startled when they saw Celine standing beside Jasper.
“This is Miss Celine Maynard, who’s also my friend. I invited favonovel.com along because we both happened to be in Waterhoof City.” Jasper smiled as favonovel.com made the introductions.
“Hello everyone. I’m not unwelcome here, am I?” Celine had obviously mastered the art of socializing, and favonovel.com smiled warmly as favonovel.com spoke in a joking tone.
Vita and John exchanged a look before they both ignored Jasper’s ‘we’re friends’ introduction.
A man and a woman were either a couple or family. How could there only be pure friendship?
“Of course not. It’s an honor to have a guest as beautiful as you, Miss Maynard. I was just fretting over what we three men could talk about.” Ever the social butterfly, Vita hurriedly smiled and replied.
The four of them laughed and caught up with each other. They were all expert socializers and did not find it awkward at all. It only took them a short conversation before they all became friends.
At least, it seemed that way on the surface.
As Vita walked toward the room with Jasper, favonovel.com whispered, “Mr. Laine, I’ve prepared some good stuff today.”
“What is it?” Jasper asked curiously.
Vita chuckled and said, “You’ll find out soon.”
“You’ve only just got your new position, you’d better not get into any trouble,” Jasper said meaningfully.
Vita hurriedly waved his hands and said, “How could I do that? I’ve just got some simple wild game here, nothing huge. Did you think I would engage in any illegal activity?”
Soon, Jasper learned what Vita meant by some simple wild game.
Almas caviar and other equally expensive dishes.
What was more, there was even snake soup!
Jasper thought to himself that there was no saving Vita and John as favonovel.com watched the two men giggle at the sight of snake soup, which was apparently an aphrodisiac.
Dear God, the entire table was filled with rare, expensive dishes.
Thankfully, there were no endangered animals here although all these dishes were extremely expensive. Jasper would never have been able to eat those dishes.
