Henry lay on the bed angrily and indignantly while bemoaning. He was Anna’s brother, and as her brother, he brought Jasper back only to be treated no more like a driver who said sister proceeded to get rid of once Jasper arrived.
Then he heard knockings on his door. Excited, Henry wondered if his sister had finally found her conscience and came to apologize as well as invite him to join their conversation.
‘Hmph!
‘Now do you remember what I’ve done for you?
‘Now, you’re sorry?’
He would stand his ground and make sure his sister knew that it would not be so easy to beg him for his forgiveness.
With that, Henry opened the door, his arrogance slightly slipping into his supposedly stoic facade.
“Are you here to apologize—”
“Where’s the Lafite you brought over from Harbor City?” Anna fiercely cut Henry off and forced the other to swallow his words.
Henry’s eyes widened as he asked warily, “What do you want? I saved that Lafite for myself!”
“Give it to me,” Anna replied emotionlessly.
Henry’s expression darkened. Had she no respect for her brother?!
“You wish!”
Henry decided that he would fight to the death for his dignity.
Anna smirked. “Are you sure? Dad told me to watch over you before we left. Or should I call Dad and tell him that you’re spending every night drinking and have forgotten what you came here to do?”
Henry’s lips paled in anger. “That’s a lie and we both know it!”
“Do you think Dad’s going to trust me or you?” Anna’s lips quirked at a devilish angle.
Thinking about how this was the first time his dad had given him such an important job and how his sister’s false accusation would easily screw him over… Henry’s lips paled further.
“Screw you!”
Stuffing the bottle of wine into Anna’s arms harshly, Henry’s expression darkened. “You don’t even drink alcohol, what do you want my Lafite for anyway?”
“Jasper likes red wine.” Anna carried the Lafite in her arms and turned to leave with a chuckle.
Stunned, Henry stomped his feet angrily. “What the f*ck, you’re doing it for him? Jesus Christ, at least invite me too! That’s an ‘82 Lafite! I only have three f*cking bottles myself!”
Henry marched out of the room indignantly and followed Anna tightly.
Anna ignored him and returned to the room, waving the bottle of red wine before Jasper’s eyes as if in wait for praise. “An ‘82 Lafite, wanna try?”
Then, she casually pointed to Henry for him to open the bottle.
Henry found the bottle opener, and he felt his heart cry silently.
‘What the f*ck, how could she cheat my wine off me?!
‘Then treat me like I’m her waiter!
‘I’m your brother here! We’re related! By blood!’
Jasper smiled. He took a look at Henry’s extremely stormy expression and got a gist of what was happening. “Great, I’d like to discuss with Henry about securing the Olympic Village project.”
Henry’s ears perked up as he grinned.
With Jasper’s help, his chance of success would now increase by more than 50%.
He wanted to ask Jasper, ‘Would you like something to go with your wine, Brother-in-law? I’ll buy it all for you right now…’
It must be known that Henry currently had no doubts when it came to Jasper’s ability. He admired the man extremely and wished to become a man like Jasper!
“Quick, Jasper… tell me your thoughts!”
