Life at The Top
Chapter 2119

Just after Jasper finished coaxing Wendy and sending her away, Anna called him.

"Do you have time today? Let me buy you lunch!" Anna's tone sounded a little weird, and it seemed that some thing had happened while she was with Wendy these days.

Although Jasper had already eaten, he figured there would be huge problems in the future if he did not resolve the issue between Anna and Wendy properly.

'Gosh...' Jasper could not help lamenting the fact that his life was so difficult.

"Give me the address, and I'll head over..."

"Come to Nine Dragon Spring Restaurant. I'll wait for you here," Anna hung up the phone after speaking.

Jasper did not waste any time and went directly to the location Anna sent him.

Half an hour later, he arrived at Spring Restaurant. This was an old restaurant in Harbor City. It looked low-key and reserved from the outside, but many bigwigs in Harbor City often came here to eat.

Jasper was still at the door, and his sharp eyes spotted Robert's car.

"Strange, isn't Robert in Meleya? Why has he returned to Harbor City?"

However, Meleya and Harbor City were not far from each other, and Robert's home was also in Harbor City, so it was not surprising that he would come over. Jasper did not overthink. He figured he should see Anna first.

After walking into Spring Restaurant, Jasper asked the waiter where Anna was before arriving at the private room. Then, he pushed open the door and walked in. He saw Anna wearing a sky blue short skirt that outlined her graceful and curvy figure. She was sitting on a chair, casually playing with her mobile phone.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," Jasper said with a smile.

Anna put away her phone, glanced at him, and said strangely, "Why are you so late? I thought you were afraid to come to see me for fear of being discovered by Wendy."

She sounded very jealous when she said that.

Jasper was a bit dumbfounded. He closed the door, walked toward Anna, and explained in a gentle tone, "Don't overthink. I have a lot of things to deal with in Harbor City this time, so I didn't pay much attention to you. Besides, hasn't Wendy been with you all the time discussing the subsequent development of the information industry in Harbor City? How could she ban me from seeing you?"

In reality, Jasper's original intention was to explain clearly that he did not take the initiative to come to see her because he was busy, not for any other reason. Plus, it was not because Wendy did not allow him to see her. However, after he said that, Anna's face dropped even more.

She snorted coldly, turned her face away, and said, "Listen to what you just said. You make it sound like Wendy's so magnanimous while I am just a woman who's always jealous."

Jasper felt his head buzzing. Then, he put his hand on Anna's shoulder with a bit of confusion.

"Princess, stop sulking. I was wrong for ignoring your feelings during this time, okay?"

Jasper gently took Anna's small fair hand and spoke after putting it on his chest, "Actually, both of you are equally important in my heart. How could I not come to see you if I had time? It's just that you also know that the international situation has been turbulent recently, and the domestic situation is not very peaceful. There are indeed many things waiting for me to deal with thorn. Please be more understanding, okay?"

After hearing what he said, Anna's expression softened a little. Then, she sighed and said, "Actually, I'm not that unreasonable. I'm just angry that Wendy is always acting like she's already the matriarch."

In her opinion, if Wendy stayed on the mainland while she stayed in Harbor City, Anna would not care about Wendy if they did not need to interact with each other so often. However, she had to work with Wendy now, which was very difficult for her.

Whenever Anna remembered that Wendy would continue acting like the matriarch of the Laine family for a long time in the future, she became agitated. That was why she invited Jasper out today to vent the anger she had been holding in during this time.
