Victory in Life
Chapter 665
Things like this could only happen in the early 2000s, and that was only possible in Somerland.
Julian walked into the room to remind Jasper. "Jasper, it's time to sign with Sentel Corporation. Your appointment will begin soon," he said, interrupting Jasper's thoughts.
Jasper patted his forehead, grabbed his coat and left the room. "Should I hire an assistant? You shouldn't be doing this job all the time" he said.
Julian scratched his head and replied, "I can do simple tasks, but I might not be able to handle it once your work gets more complicated."
"Let's talk again when that happens" Jasper said with a chuckle.
He has not yet decided on the management team at the investment firm. Therefore, Jasper was also in no mood to recruit a secretary for himself.
After returning to Sentel Corporation, the secretary took Jasper to a small meeting room.
"Please wait a minute, Mr. Laine. The person in charge of signing the contract from our side will be coming soon," the secretary said politely. After serving tea to her, the secretary left the room.
After that, Jasper waited for a full 20 minutes.
No one seemed to be intending to open the tightly shut door. Small wrinkles formed on Jasper's face.
It is very unusual for a formal contemporary company like Sentel Corporation to make a rookie mistake like leaving a client they would sign a contract alone in a meeting room for half an hour.
If this was not a mistake, then there was most likely a problem with the contract on their side.
Just as Jasper was about to lose his temper, the door suddenly opened.
Jasper's eyes sparkled as he looked at the person entering the room.
Sentel Corporation is one of the top 500 companies in the world. Even the person in charge of signing the contract was beautiful.
"Sorry, Mr. Laine. I was late due to some work issues," Sylphie Lang bowed and apologized sincerely upon entering the room.
The polite smile on Sylphie's face remained unchanged after she realized what she was saying. Nevertheless, his impression of Jasper was greatly decreased.
What kind of preferences does your best friend have? Why would he choose to work with such a snake oil salesman?
"Well, can we start signing the contract?" ask Jasper. Sylphie, who thought she would tease him, was a little surprised.
Sylphie felt Jasper was acting unusual. Since she started the conversation so smoothly, Sylphie hoped that Jasper would ask her some personal questions or even ask for her contact number.
"Sorry."
Jasper doesn't know Sylphie's name. It was impolite to call her "miss", so she could only call out to her with a neutral sentence.
"I'm sorry. I'm in a daze," Sylphie said awkwardly.
He had not experienced this emotion for many years.
Such emotions are not in line with the elite education he has received for more than two decades.
"It's okay. Should we sign the contract?" Jasper asked in a flat tone.
Sylphie took out a contract from a folder. He gritted his teeth in anger.
This Somerlandian is despicable. Is he in a hurry to get home? Why did he keep urging her to sign the documents?
Just then, someone kicked the door of the meeting room.
"Mr Hampton, come in and take a look at this quickly! A contract that would cause serious harm to the interests of the company is being signed here as I said!"
