Regardless of the sinister schemes being plotted, time continued to pass with each day.
It was New Year’s Eve now, and the new year would soon arrive.
Jasper did not go anywhere that day, opting to stay home with his parents instead.
However, that did not mean he had nothing to do. He was making calls to Old Master Law and the like
to relay New Year’s Eve greetings.
Etiquettes should not be forgotten.
As for Gale Hurlbutt, Jasper had also called to greet him.
He had accepted Gale’s conditions two days ago.
This meant that he would assume the role of vice president of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce
Waterhoof branch after New Year’s when work officially started again.
The news was still kept under wraps and there was only a handful who knew of it. Yet that did not stop
Jasper and Gale’s relationship from growing closer.
The most important thing was…
He had to deal with the long phone calls with Anna and Wendy.
While the two women were far apart, they seemed to have a very tacit understanding not to call Jasper
first.
Jasper was elated by the fact, so he spent more than an hour calling Wendy before he dialed Anna’s
number.
Having called the people he had to, Jasper then received calls from Hudson, Jack, and a bunch of
other people.
Everyone traded pleasantries, wishing for each other’s good health and prosperity in the new year.
These were all necessary conversations. One would not gain anything if they spoke too much, but not
speaking enough would easily offend others.
After entertaining the people he had to, Jasper looked up to realize that it was past 12 a.m. now.
This marked the beginning of 2001.
Jasper walked over to the window and was surprised to find that it had begun to snow tonight.
Snow was rare in the southeast and it had been a few years since it snowed in Tefa City.
The only one beside Jasper now was the burly Julian.
“Julian, do you know any responsible female martial artists you could recommend?” Jasper asked.
Julian gave it some thought before replying, “I do have a martial artist friend who has just become a
martial arts instructor. Do you want to invite her over, Jasper?”
Jasper smiled. “I can’t help but worry when there isn’t anyone with Wendy to protect her.”
Jasper nodded. “Alright, I’ll contact her tomorrow.”
Now that New Year’s Eve was over, it was January again and Jasper would only be getting busier as
time passed.
There were plenty of people coming over to greet him, including John who brought Kai over.
Kai brought over a gilded crucifix. Seeing its design and weight, it had to cost at least 100,000 Somer
Dollars.
Despite knowing that Kai was giving the gift as thanks and to fawn over Jasper, Jasper did not decline
it when he saw how his religious mom, Sally, was so happy that her mouth stayed agape.
After dealing with the large group of people, Jasper and his parents arrived in Nauritus City at the
provincial capital on the fourth of January.
It was the day Jasper’s and Wendy’s parents would meet.
Jasper parked the Bentley just before Dawson’s house. Dawson took the initiative to approach them.
He opened the car doors and reached out a hand to Charlie who was alighting the vehicle. “I’ve been
anticipating for ages the day you’d come over, Charlie.”
Charlie smiled, still slightly nervous, and shook Dawson’s hand with both his hands. “Hello, Mr. Schuler.
It’s nice to meet you too.”
