Chapter 999


    "Mr. Asher, which sales office do you work at?"


    However, Jasper refused them all without hesitation. "I don''t discuss business after hours. Sorry."


    A salesman refusing to add contacts and not talking business after work? Everyone was stunned, and even Imogen found it strange. But then she thought, maybe he was just standing up for her, not wanting to do business with her tactless old ssmates. How admirable! Jasper took Imogen''s hand and stood up. He said, "We live far away, so I''ll take Imogen home to rest now. Enjoy yourselves."Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    After that, he picked up her bag, slung it over his shoulder, and led her out. As he walked past the manager, he took the expensive wine with him. Some still couldn''t believe what they had seen, so they followed them out. They confirmed that Jasper and Imogen indeed left with the 70 thousand dor bottle of wine.


    To verify the discount, Devin quickly went to pay the bill. Unexpectedly, the hotel really did give them a 50% discount just as Jasper instructed. Devin was astonished. He asked, "Who is he? How can he get a 50% discount at Phoenicia Grand Hotel? That''s insane!"


    Someone curiously asked Scarlett, "Scarlett, you''re Imogen''s best friend. Do you know anything about her husband? What''s his background?" Scarlett forced an awkward smile and shook her head. She said, "I''m not familiar with her husband. I heard he''s from the countryside. He has no car, no house, and no savings. He also has a father withte-stage cancer."


    Everyone exchanged nces.


    As they stepped out of the hotel, a luxury car pulled up and stopped in front of Jasper. Jasper opened the door for Imogen, but he was pulled aside. Imogen asked him cautiously, "Why did you order this kind of car?"


    Jasper frowned. He asked, "What''s wrong with this car?"


    "This luxury car costs twice as much as a regr one."


    Jasper resigned as he smiled. Leading her into the car, he found an excuse, "I selected the wrong type by mistake. Since it''s already ordered, let''s just ride it."


    They sat side by side in the car. Jasper slowly looked down at Imogen''s fair and delicate hand. As he looked at it, he gulped, wanting to hold it. Back at the hotel, when she took the initiative to hold his hand, his heart raced like crazy. Holding her hand made him nervous and his heart raced.


    Taking a deep breath, Jasper mustered his courage to move his hand toward hers.


    Imogen was still thinking about the reunion. As Jasper was about to hold her hand, Imogen suddenly withdrew her hand.


    She asked curiously, "Ash, how did you get the hotel manager to give you a discount?"


    Jasper exined, "The manager is a friend of mine."


    "That''s all?"


    "It''s just an employee discount. Of course, it worked."


    Imogen smiled lightly. Lowering her head, she said, "I never want to attend such ridiculous ss reunions again."


    Jasper asked, "Was this your first time?"


    Imogen replied with a tinge of sadness, "Yes. The first and thest."


    As Jasper gazed at her delicate profile, he was touched by her subtle loneliness and sorrow. Mustering his courage, he gently ced his hand on hers, with his fingers closing softly around her delicate palm.


    Imogen trembled slightly, freezing in ce. The warmth of his hand fett like an electric current passing through her. She was so nervous that her heart was poundinglike crazy.


    The air in the car became hot as it felt like the temperature was rising.
