“Go ahead. What you choose to invest in is your own business.”
Jasper said calmly, then he ignored Gerry and left with Tiffany and Julian in tow.
Gerry stomped his foot as he watched Jasper leave. He felt the urge to slap himself.
Of all the times, it had to happen now. What a coincidence.
Prince and Jasper just had to become enemies, and the day he decided to treat Prince to dinner, Jasper just had to be there to find out.
Jasper who had no idea of Gerry’s internal turmoil as he soon arrived downstairs.
“Jasper, did I end up causing you trouble again?” Tiffany saw Jasper’s stern expression and asked softly.
Jasper snapped back to reality and smiled. “Not at all. There was some other issue, but it wasn’t your fault… Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?”
“But we agreed that I would treat you,” Tiffany whispered, “But we can do it next time if you’re busy, Jasper.”
“There’s no rush. Work can wait, but we can’t drag on the celebration for your first part-time paycheck. How about this, let’s eat somewhere else.” Jasper smiled.
Tiffany felt conflicted when she saw a gentle smile grace Jasper’s features again.
“Alright.”
All the words she wanted to say were condensed into one.
She was not an idiot. She could tell that the man from just now would pose great trouble for Jasper.
Still, Jasper had chosen to eat with her.
Tiffany told herself internally that this would be the first and last time she acted on a whim.
