Life at the Top

Chapter 28

Dickson knew about John Jackson. After all, his company’s loan was under Commercial Bank. There were a few occasions when he wanted to get to know this powerful president, but John never spared him any dignity. He did not even have a chance to enter his office.

However, currently looking at John’s action of trying to get on the other party’s good terms made the corners of Dickson’s mouth twitch. He found that behavior and expression rather familiar. That was the lowly expression he made when facing John.

“Mr. Jackson.”

Jasper was astonished as well to meet John here and shook his hand with a smile.

“Mr. Laine, you’re here to buy houses?” John asked.

Jasper nodded and looked at the crowd, saying in a way that seemed calm, “That’s right! Initially, I thought of having a look at the houses and if there’s a suitable one, I’d buy. But the service here has let me down. Just because of two people, they want to chase me out. So, here I am, about to leave this place.”

His comment may have sounded calm, but in fact, there was a dark side to it.

The manager of the real estate company had nearly gotten down on his knees and acknowledged John as his father just to get the loan. As for Dickson, he did not even have the chance to get to know John.

Meanwhile, John was acting respectfully and cautiously before Jasper.

From this obvious scenario, it was evident who was more superior.

Manager Jones of the real estate company was a reasonable man. Seeing that John was about to get infuriated, he immediately dropped to his knees before Jasper with his heart pumping hard. He bent

down and bowed in apology. Every gesture was accomplished in a split second.

“Mr. Laine, it’s really our fault for not providing proper hospitality. I’ll fire all these saleswomen. Besides, from now onward, I’ll personally provide my service to you. I’ll give you the best discount and promotion to show you our sincere apology.” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

‘He’s a splendid person.’

Jasper looked at him with a smile, but obviously, Manager Jones misunderstood him. After thinking a while, he turned around and roared at Dickson and Janice. “The sales department is serving an honorable client. We’ll be closed for the time being. You two, please make a move!”

‘Yeah, he’s indeed a brilliant person!’

This time, even Wendy thought so as well.

Dickson and Janice finally experienced what utter awkwardness felt like.

The tables were flipped following Jasper’s comment.

Earlier, they were the ones ordering others to chase Jasper and Wendy out, but currently, they became an eyesore that was being chased out of the scene…

Dickson’s face went scarlet. His head was drenched with sweat as he wondered whether he should stay or not.

As for Janice, she was so terrified that her face went pale. She dared not speak a word and only stared at Jasper, finding it hard to believe.

With the intelligence she had, she would never comprehend what Jasper had that would make John want to get on his good terms. With just a word, he could revert the situation to favor him.

‘This brat isn’t just a poor guy?

‘Could it be that all these people are blind?’

Manager Jones got angry when he saw the two people refusing to leave. He did not know about Jasper’s identity. However, he knew that those who could make John behave so politely and respectfully were those he could not afford to offend.

‘Maybe he’s a second-generation son from a big family who has come out on his own to try and have an ordinary life.’

Aside from other issues earlier, if he had reacted any slower, John would have started questioning him. At that time, not just his loan would be in trouble, but whether he could continue being a manager would be questionable too.

He was able to figure out the main problem with just only a tiny detail. That was the reason Jasper thought that Manager Jones was a splendid person.

Just when Manager Jones was about to call the security guards to chase them out, Jasper spoke.

“Forget it. If they’re willing to stand here, then so be it. You’re here to run your business, after all. Each of you will just have to carry out your respective task.”

After speaking, Jasper brought Wendy aside and sat on the sofa in the client room.

John and Manager Jones immediately followed them. The bunch of saleswomen who were getting fired had pitiful looks on their faces. They all glared at both Dickson and Janice. They would never serve them.

Despite not being chased out anymore, both Dickson and Janice felt even more suffering.

“That poor brat is obviously trying to make us look bad!” Janice was so mad that she gritted her teeth. “Dickson, let’s go back first. Later, we’ll think of a way to get our revenge.”

Janice was a fool, but Dickson was not. Even though standing there was more humiliating than walking away, he knew that he should not leave just yet.
