Life at The Top novel Chapter 752

Although Celine was complaining about being taken advantage of, her smile never left her face.

She sat relaxedly in front of Jasper. As Julian had only prepared breakfast for Jasper, she reached over to take a sip from Jasper’s cup of milk.

When Celine put the cup back down and saw Jasper staring at her, she said, “What, you can’t bring yourself to let me have even a sip of milk after taking advantage of me?”

Taking his eyes away from the spot of milk at the corner of Celine’s lips, Jasper laughed dryly as he said, “Of course, I can. I can even treat you to a meal every day if you want to.”

“Oh, are you hinting that you want me as your sugar baby?” Celine said flirtatiously as she gazed at Jasper.

Jasper marveled at how as a woman, Celine did not even bat an eyelash when she talked about the vilest things.

“Hey, how did it feel just now? I’m much more curvaceous than your girlfriend, right?” Celine said as she snickered.

“Have you always been this open?” Jasper asked.

“Depends on my mood.”

Celine then continued carelessly, “But I’m usually much more serious.”

Just then, Jasper’s phone rang.

Vita Layne was calling.

At this point, Vita’s appointment documents had been finalized and he was now serving as the office manager for ICBS’ Waterhoof City branch. All this had caused Vita to be in a great mood lately.

Now that the problems of his collaboration with Jasper had been settled, Vita made phone calls to both John and Jasper to invite them to dinner.

Jasper had no plans today and no reason to decline Vita’s invitation.

He had just hung up when Celine asked curiously, “You have dinner plans tonight?”

“Meeting up with a couple of friends,” Jasper said.

“Can you take me with you?” Celine asked.

Jasper stared at Celine as he laughed incredulously and said, “They’re my friends from elsewhere, why would you want to attend such events?”

“Why, are we not friends now? Isn’t it normal to introduce your friends to some other friends of yours?” Celine asked.

“Alright, let’s go together.”

…

That night, Jasper picked Celine up from her room.

Used to seeing her dressed in business wear, Jasper was pleasantly surprised to see how she looked dressed in casual clothing.

To be honest, although Celine was beautiful, she did not have the kind of beauty that would cause one to take a second look. In terms of looks alone, Anna and Wendy were gorgeous women who won by a landslide.

However, what made Celine special was how she managed to meld both Eastern and Western culture into her personal aesthetic.

When you looked at her, you could see the elegance of Eastern women and the carefreeness of Western women.

Furthermore, Celine’s training in the most prestigious field in the world allowed her to emanate an aura of confidence and competence.

To put it frankly, she was attractive.

Women like Celine were at least, to men, a weapon that could instantaneously take out anyone between the age range of a teenage boy and wizened men.

“Of course not. It’s an honor to have a guest as beautiful as you, Miss Maynard. I was just fretting over what we three men could talk about.” Ever the social butterfly, Vita hurriedly smiled and replied.

The four of them laughed and caught up with each other. They were all expert socializers and did not find it awkward at all. It only took them a short conversation before they all became friends.

At least, it seemed that way on the surface.

As Vita walked toward the room with Jasper, he whispered, “Mr. Laine, I’ve prepared some good stuff today.”

“What is it?” Jasper asked curiously.

Vita chuckled and said, “You’ll find out soon.”

“You’ve only just got your new position, you’d better not get into any trouble,” Jasper said meaningfully.

Vita hurriedly waved his hands and said, “How could I do that? I’ve just got some simple wild game here, nothing huge. Did you think I would engage in any illegal activity?”

Soon, Jasper learned what Vita meant by some simple wild game.

Almas caviar and other equally expensive dishes.

What was more, there was even snake soup!

Jasper thought to himself that there was no saving Vita and John as he watched the two men giggle at the sight of snake soup, which was apparently an aphrodisiac.

Dear God, the entire table was filled with rare, expensive dishes.

Thankfully, there were no endangered animals here although all these dishes were extremely expensive. Jasper would never have been able to eat those dishes.
