Walking out of the president’s office, Celine stared at Jasper who looked very carefree and asked, “Were you not nervous at all?”
“About what?” Jasper asked despite knowing full well what she was talking about.
“About Paulson. He’s not as kind as he looks. The fact that he managed to become Colossal’s president despite starting from a normal project manager means that he’s more ruthless than anyone if need be,” Celine replied.
Jasper smiled and spoke, “His ruthlessness is a testament to how smart he is, and smart men tend to choose options that are the most beneficial to them. He won’t get anything by starting an all-out war with me, so he won’t do it.”
“Bullsh*t.” Celine rolled her eyes at Jasper. “Sure, your companies have unlimited potential and they’ve already grown quite a bit in size, but they’re still nothing more than weaklings to Colossal, okay?”
“The investment bank wants to make money and Paulson wants fame. Getting rid of a weakling like me won’t bring the investment bank money nor will the world suddenly respect Paulson more for it. Plus, on the off chance that they don’t manage to crush me, they’ll have a monstrous force to deal with in the future. Why go through all that trouble?” Jasper replied calmly.
“God knows where you got this confidence from,” Celine spoke calmly.
Still, despite her words, Celine’s eyes shone as she looked at Jasper.
As of that moment, Celine had already lost all ability to ponder and mull over Jasper’s words. She would not think about whether Jasper’s words were realistic or not.
She only had one thought in mind, and that was how handsome and dominant Jasper was. She just wanted to pounce on him!
“Are you free tonight?” Celine suddenly asked.
“I’ll be out celebrating with Jack and the rest. Why?” Jasper asked.
“Celebrate with them another day. Leave your schedule tonight for me,” Celine demanded.
“What do you want to do?” Jasper looked at Celine warily.
“You’re still scared that I’ll take advantage of you?” Celine spoke distastefully.
“Fine.” Jasper believed that it was unbefitting of him, as a man, to back down before Celine, a woman, did.
A look of pride was concealed in Celine’s shining eyes as she pushed the excitement she felt within her away. She walked out of a long-emptied Nasdaq Exchange Center with Jasper.
A short distance away from the center, the two saw a familiar figure being forced into a police car embarrassingly.
It was William.
When Jasper and Celine saw William, he saw them too.
“F*cking b*tch and b*stard! You cheating wh*res!” William began to shout madly when he saw the duo.
Celine stood in front of Wiliam and curled the corner of her lips into a cold smirk.
“Look at you now. What’s the difference between you and a defeated dog?”
Celine’s words greatly bruised Wiliam’s confidence. Staring at her wretchedly, he roared, “Don’t you dare look so proud! You only got to where you are today because you seduced some barbarian! I’d like to see how much longer you can keep up this proud act!”
Celine looked at William pitifully and spoke, “Say I did seduce men, I’d still never seduce you. Does that anger you?”
Wiliam ground his molars hard. If not for the two burly men holding him in place, he would have rushed over and shown her a piece of his mind.
“You b*tch!” William spat out the words.
The mocking sneer on the corners of Celine’s lips grew, but she showed no signs of anger at all.
