Back at the company, when Jasper arrived at the trading floor on the top floor, he saw Dean standing in the hall talking to Todd.
However, Todd’s eyes were full of indifference and impatience. Everyone could see this, but Dean seemed to have not paid attention to this at all. He was enthusiastic and humble the whole time. Moreover, he was actively looking for topics to discuss.
Todd’s eyes lit up when Jasper arrived. He abandoned Dean immediately and strode toward Jasper.
“You’re finally here. I was almost annoyed to death.”
Jasper chuckled. He glanced at Dean, who looked at himself and Todd gently, and replied, “Be patient, it will be over soon.”
Todd buffed, “Don’t let me down.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not good at letting people down.” After saying this, Jasper walked past Todd and toward Dean.
“Mr. Laine.” Dean was still as polite and humble as ever. It was easy to give people a good impression of him.
“Mr. Hall, have you gotten used to staying in Nauritus City these past two days? Please forgive me if we didn’t receive you properly. After all, there are too many things going on recently and it was inevitable that there are some areas that will be neglected.”
“If you have any needs, you can voice them at any time. Relax, treat Nauritus City as your home,” Jasper said to Dean with a smile.
Dean shrugged and said, “If I have to point out something wrong, it’s that everyone is too thoughtful and hospitable. I haven’ t been so extravagant with myself.”
“Haha, you’re so courteous.”
Jasper laughed. Suddenly, he asked, “Mr. Hall, what do you think of my next plan?”
“No comments. I think it’s good.”
Dean looked sincere and cordial. He said, “Mr. Laine, your plan is meticulous and well fleshed out. This time I am just a bystander who’s here to learn from you.”
“But no matter how good the plan is, it won’t keep up with the change. No plan can avoid accidents completely. Do you think we will encounter any accidents?”
Jasper’s question caused Dean’s eyes to flicker, but it disappeared quickly.
“Accidents are inevitable, but I believe you will have a way to deal with it.” Dean smiled.
“I hope that’s true.” Jasper laughed.
“Mr. Laine, you should go back to your business. I need to go to the restroom,” Dean said.
Jasper nodded, motioning for Dean to go ahead.
Dean walked to the restroom calmly with a smile on his face. Instead of going to the restroom, he walked to the washbasin, turned on the water, and washed his face. The cold tap water splashed on his face, calming his flustered heart slowly.
He clenched his fists on both sides of the wash basin and raised his head to see his horrified face that was caused by nervousness and anxiety in the mirror.
“Did Jasper notice something?”
Dean was terrified by the thought of this. During his time in Nauritus City, he also learned about Jasper’s behavior. Jasper seemed to be easy going, but it was actually the complete opposite. He appeared to be easy going because as long as it did not violate his core interests, then Jasper would be willing to make compromises and concessions for the sake of cooperation.
However, he was not actually like that, because once someone violated his core interests, then the result would either be death or injury.
