“I will give you the check once I get my hands on the material.”
Emerson Lang chuckled. He knew that Jasper understood his good intentions.
20 million US dollars was a drop in the ocean for a company like Sentel Corporation.
Emerson could have easily chosen not to sell the patent rights for the MP3, but he had decided to do so at an extremely reasonable price. This was because he wanted to befriend Jasper, who seemed to personally know the princess of Sentel Corporation.
It was easy to deal with smart people. As long as they understood each other’s intentions, not everything had to be stated out in the open.
After both of them signed the contract, Jasper prepaid an amount of 10 million US dollars. At that moment, someone barged into Emerson’s office.
“Uncle, did Ms. Sylphie introduce a man to the company?!”
The person who barged into the room was a young man. Once he entered the room, he immediately fired a question at Emerson.
Emerson frowned. “Mr. Jonathan, this is the office of the group president. If you want to see me, you need to have a valid reason, and you need to make an appointment through my secretary!” He reprimanded the young man.
With his immaculate appearance, Jonathan Lang looked more like a pop star than a company president. He fixed a glare upon Jasper and grumbled, “What about him? Isn’t he the person that Ms. Sylphie introduced to the company? Did he make an appointment?”
“Mr. Jonathan! Remember your position!” Emerson voiced out. He was obviously angry.
“You’re just the president of one of the company’s branches. You don’t have the right to yell at me in the office of the group president. Did I teach you to behave in this way?”
Jonathan cast a vicious and envious glare at Jasper. He then lowered his head and apologized to Emerson. “I’m sorry, Mr. Emerson,” he said.
“Get out!” Emerson shouted.
Jonathan clenched his fists and continued to stand his ground. “I won’t go out. I need to know what is the relationship between him and Ms. Sylphie,” he said in a determined tone.
“Is this something that you should be concerned about?” Emerson asked with a frigid voice. “Don’t make me repeat myself a third time. Get out!”
Jonathan’s face flushed red in anger. He fixed a deadly glare upon Jasper, then turned around and left the room in a fury.
“My apologies, Mr. Laine. Sorry you had to witness that,” Emerson told Jasper.
“It’s alright. Mr. Jonathan must have misunderstood,” Jasper said in an even tone.
“He’s way too spoilt,” Emerson said. His voice revealed his dissatisfaction toward his nephew.
Even so, Jasper did not want to be involved in Emerson Lang’s family matters. They exchanged a few more courtesies before Emerson’s secretary reminded him that an hour had passed. Thus, Jasper bid him farewell politely.
Both parties had decided to complete the deal within the shortest amount of time possible. Because of this, Jasper left Emerson’s office feeling fully satisfied.
Jasper had not walked far from the office and was just about to enter the elevator when a hand reached out a blocked the elevator entrance.
Jasper raised his eyes and looked over. Jonathan Lang had been waiting for him all this time.
“What’s your relationship with Sylphie?” Jonathan asked, his voice tinged with jealousy.
“We don’t know each other,” Jasper replied.
He would not lie to Jonathan on purpose, nor did he want to explain anything to him. He had managed to obtain Sylphie Lang’s recommendation because of Anna Law’s connections.
He had never even seen the princess of Sentel Corporation.
“That’s pure bullsh*t!” Jonathan exclaimed. Obviously, he did not believe him.
“Everyone knows that Ms. Sylphie never intervenes in company matters. However, she personally asked my uncle for a favor because of you. Yet, you’re telling me that you don’t know her?” Jonathan roared.
