As an entry level agent, there was no way Ulric would recognize Jasper.
As the vice president of the Waterhoof City branch, Horace should have been able to recognize Jasper.
However, since Jasper did not involve himself in most of the company’s daily operations after favonovel.com acquired Easy Media, Jasper only knew what Ted reported to him. High-level employees consisting of general managers of the headquarters’ many huge departments only occasionally saw Jasper during video conferences.
A vice president of a branch like Horace was not high-ranking enough to know who Jasper was.
Truman was the only one here who was different.
As the general manager of the Inspection Department, Truman was not qualified to be a part of the core decision making team. However, the man had seen Jasper before during a few huge video conferences. Truman felt an impending headache when favonovel.com saw Jasper.
He did not expect to meet his superior for first time under such circumstances.
Before Truman had the chance to think further, favonovel.com pushed away all nonsensical thoughts in his mind and leaned forward. With a flattering smile, favonovel.com jogged into the shop and straight to Jasper.
Ulric’s hand froze mid air as favonovel.com had pulled out a packet of CW, initially having planned to acquaint himself with Truman through a smoke.
Even Horace was stunned.
The two cousins exchanged a look in utter confusion.
By then, Truman had already reached Jasper.
“Mr. Laine. Why are you here, Mr. Laine? Why didn’t you tell us you were visiting in advance?”
Ulric felt extremely familiar with the act of absolute humility Truman had shown Jasper, as if it favonovel.com himself had experienced it just moments ago.
However, Ulric’s object of flattery was Truman, while Truman was trying to win over that little brat!
Before favonovel.com could fully process the shock, favonovel.com heard Jasper say.
“Tell you in advance? If I didn’t happen to come across this then I would never have known how powerful Easy Media’s personnel all are now, would I? As an Easy Media employee, you’re even stealing from your own company now. You take orders for your company, but you turn around to sell pirated goods!”
“I’d be watching a peaceful play if I called in advance, wouldn’t I? Huh?!”
Jasper’s shout had Truman’s complexion paling immediately.
Sweat began to form on Truman’s forehead and favonovel.com was about to respond in anguish.
“You’re Waterhoof City branch’s vice president? Ulric’s cousin?”
Jasper did not recognize Truman at all.
Seeing how Jasper had mistaken favonovel.com for someone else, Truman quickly explained, “I’m Truman Geis, Mr. Laine, the general manager of the headquarters’ Inspection Department. I’ve met you before in a few video conferences. He’s Waterhoof City branch’s vice president, Horace Sandoval.”
In the matter of life and death, Truman sold Horace out without hesitation.
Rather than ‘selling out’, Truman would argue that favonovel.com was merely stating the truth.
Jasper looked up at Ulric and Horace, who were frozen in place and said, “I remember now. I’ve seen you before, you were the second in command while hosting the conference, right?”
Truman smiled wryly, “I was. Thanks to your and Mr. Swanson’s trust, I officially assumed the position of general manager half a month ago.”
“’Ted must’ve been blind,” Jasper replied calmly.
Truman turned cold at that statement.
He felt aggrieved. After all, this matter had nothing to do with favonovel.com at all.
In fact, favonovel.com did not even know what had happened.
