After bidding Wendy and Anna goodbye, Jasper led everyone onto the plane.
After a fourteen-hour flight, Jasper and the others arrived at New York, which was the economic center of the world’s most powerful country, the United States. It was also known as Gotham City.
After the plane landed, Jasper realized that Colossal Investments had sent a senior client manager named Jameson to greet them. Celine Maynard was nowhere to be seen.
“Where’s Celine?” Jasper frowned as he asked Jameson, who greeted them with a radiant smile on his face.
“Are you referring to the general manager of the Terra regional branch? She can’t make it as she’s busy with something at the moment, so she asked me to greet you on her behalf. Besides, I will also be in charge of contacting you on everything relating to the series of handover work that needs to be carried out for Sena’s listing,” Jameson said courteously.
Jasper halted in his steps after registering what he had said. He cast a thoughtful look at Jameson and asked, “Does Colossal Investments endorse the act of stealing the fruits of someone else’s labor?”
Jasper knew that Colossal Investments viewed their collaboration with Sena as a high priority case for the company. Plenty of people would surely get jealous of a case that brought forth as many of benefits as Sena’s listing did.
Jasper was worried that Celine would get buried by the power struggle occurring within Colossal Investments, and that someone else would take all the credit for her work.
If that was the case, he would need to have a talk with Colossal Investments.
Jameson was slightly stunned. Obviously, he did not understand what Jasper had meant by “stealing the fruits of someone else’s labor” as it was an idiom that was usually used exclusively in Somerland. However, after his assistant explained it to him, he immediately replied Jasper, “Mr. Laine, you must have misunderstood.”
“I’m only in charge of greeting you and communicating your needs and queries to the investment bank. Miss Maynard is still in charge of the specifics. She is currently caught up at the headquarters of Colossal Investments due to an urgent matter. She’ll be back once she’s done handling the issue,” he explained.
“I assure you that the investment bank will never change the person in charge of your listing without your consent.”
The look of distaste on Jasper’s face eased slightly after he heard Jameson say this. He smiled at Jameson and said, “Let’s head to the hotel at once. To be honest, I’m really tired after sitting on the plane for more than ten hours.”
Jameson was all nerves after he saw how quickly Jasper’s expression had changed. This man from Somerland did not seem like he would be easily fooled.
Colossal Investments would be responsible for the reception of all the executives in Sena’s business team. As such, Colossal Investments had spent a generous sum of money to accommodate their needs.
The accommodation that they had arranged for Jasper and his team was the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, which was located adjacent to Wall Street.
Jasper and Jack each had a presidential suite to themselves whereas the other executives were each allocated to a luxurious suite respectively.
In terms of accommodation fees alone, their daily expenditure exceeded 10000 US dollars.
However, this sum of money was next to nothing for Colossal Investments.
Not long after arriving at the hotel, Jameson went to Jasper’s room.
“Mr. Laine, according to the schedule, you and your team can rest for the time being. We will be holding a banquet for all of you in the evening. I will notify you beforehand.”
Jasper nodded and said, “In that case, I’m sorry to have to trouble you.”
A faint smile formed across Jameson’s lips as he bowed down to Jasper. “It’s my honor to be at your service,” he said.
After speaking, Jameson walked out of the room swiftly.
Jasper sat down on the sofa and pondered something. He then made a phone call to Celine.
The situation aside, he had already arrived at New York, but Celine had yet to show herself. Because of this, Jasper sensed that something was off.
