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, favonovel.com would probably have crashed right into a ditch after that.
Firstly, it was because favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com body as favonovel.com complained to Jasper.
Although favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com asked Julian to drive them to a place that served good supper before favonovel.com asked Celine, “So why did you come to Southeast Province all of a sudden?”
Celine had initially planned to tell Jasper it was because favonovel.com missed him, but after seeing the odd expression on his face, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com said, “Moreover, I have another piece of news for you.”
“Morrison has been promoted to president of Layman Investment Bank’s Terra regional branch. He’s already arrived in the office. Soon, he’ll be in charge of everything that goes on in Layman Investment Bank in the Terra region.”
Jasper’s eyebrows raised slightly.
Celine smiled mysteriously as favonovel.com continued saying, “According to the news provided by our business consultant, Morrison will do two things upon taking over. First, he’ll conduct a thorough investigation on all the businesses you own. Then, he’ll get in touch with all of your enemies.
“Both matters affect you directly, Mr. Laine. Seems like you have quite a big influence.”
“You even managed to find this out? Business consultant? More like a business spy, don’t you think?” Jasper replied indignantly.
“Why say it out loud? Should have just kept it to yourself.”
Celine said languidly, “Tactics like these aren’t that common in Somerland, but they can be seen everywhere overseas. After all, the business industry is like a warzone. Insider information is the most important thing.
“At crucial moments, a single piece of information can determine the success or failure of a business deal involving tens of millions of dollars. Colossal Investments spends more than a billion US dollars per year hiring over a million business spies across the world. They hold more power than you can imagine!”
Celine smiled and said, “Let’s not talk about this now. What are your thoughts on Morisson’s promotion and the two things on his to-do list?”
“What thoughts can I have other than be jealous of the fact favonovel.com has a great dad?” Jasper laughed as favonovel.com said, “Look at him. You both work in investment companies, and Layman is even a tad smaller than Colossal Investments is. He has just committed a crime, but favonovel.com even got a promotion by just turning his head to the other side. And look at you. Both of you are presidents of branches of the Terra region, but you had to put in so much more effort than him.”
Celine gritted favonovel.com teeth as favonovel.com glared at Jasper, saying, “You never know what’s good for you. I shouldn’t have bothered worrying about you. I’m showing you kindness by providing you with information, but you’re making cutting remarks about me”
“You just want to rock my boat, don’t you?” Jasper asked as favonovel.com smiled.
“Boat or bed?” Celine was starting to talk inappropriately again.
