I knew Jasper's family was not well-off. His younger brother and sister were still in school. He had a lot of pressure.

When he was pursuing me, he didn't know that my family was wealthy.

The brands of clothes I wore were very niche. Few people knew about them.

Later, Jasper's mother fell ill and went to the hospital. Jasper could not afford the money. He asked all the relatives for help but failed to raise enough money. I gave him 200,000 dollars.

Jasper felt very sad during that period. I questioned him for a long time. He said, "I feel that I am not worthy of you. Not only did I not give you a better life, but I also dragged you down."

I joked to him, "From now on, I will be responsible for making money. All you need to do is be happy."

Jasper finally smiled.

What I said back then was just a joke. I never expected it to come true.

When I got home from work, I opened the door.

I smelled a strong aroma of food. Jasper was cooking.

When he saw me come back, he asked me to sit down.

Jasper said, "Hurry up and wash your hands. The meal is ready."

After graduating from college, we joined the same company.

Although we were in the same company, we were in different positions. I was promoted faster. My salary was already several times that of Jasper.

Jasper's salary was only a few thousand dollars a month. It was not enough for him to live in this big city.

I sat down and took a few bites. Jasper spoke hesitantly,

"Zoe, this month..."

Before he could finish talking, I picked up my phone and transferred five thousand dollars to him. Afraid that it was not enough, I transferred another three thousand dollars.

He relaxed. He said, "That's not what I'm talking about. One of my college friends is getting married."

I subconsciously asked, "When? Do you want me to go with you?"

That was Jasper’s college classmate. I wasn’t very familiar with him.

Jasper shook his head. He stood up to drink some water.

The moment he entered the kitchen, the phone across the table rang.

That was Jasper's phone.

I looked up when I heard the sound.

A message popped up on his Twitter. Kathy: [I like handsome and interesting people. How about you?]

Before I could take a closer look, Jasper had already come out of the kitchen.

I looked away. He obviously noticed that I saw the message. He kept glancing at me while drinking the water.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual about me, he glanced at his phone. He smiled.

I looked into his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

He shook his head. He took his phone to the bathroom. He replied, "Nothing. A colleague wanted to talk to me."

His subconscious action of hiding his phone was so eye-catching.

Jasper never avoided me when sending messages before. His phone password was also my birthday.

Before going to bed at night, Jasper came up to me.

He whispered, "Zoe, I will be running for manager next month. This position is very important to me."

I nodded. I looked at him with a bit of doubt.

Jasper fed me the freshly cut fruit. He said, "We have been together for many years. I think it's time for me to meet Mr. Grey."

I was promoted quickly in the company. Jasper always suspected that I was Mr. Edward's relative. He was hinting at this.

I touched his shoulders. I said, "Don't worry. You did a good job. If you prepare well for the election, you will definitely get the position."

Jasper's expression changed suddenly. He said, "Zoe, I have been waiting for this position for almost two years.

"Among the candidates, there are those with higher qualifications than me. Some are more experienced than me. I don't have much chance to win."

Jasper became emotional. I didn't know how to calm him down.

"Jasper, believe me. As long as you prepare well..."

Jasper became impatient. He said sternly, "Zoe! If you don't want to help me, just shut up!

"You don't understand me at all. Your family is rich! You got promoted quickly thanks to your father. You have no idea how hard it is for me to wait for an opportunity like this."

I was stunned for a moment. How could Jasper speak to me like that?

I shouted, "Bullshit! I got my current position step by step on my own.

"Dad said he wanted to help me, but I refused.

"You slandered me for your own incompetence. How dare you?"

Seeing that I was angry, Jasper realized that he had said something wrong. He hugged me and apologized quickly.

"Zoe, I was wrong. I was too anxious. I shouldn't have said such things. I'm sorry."

Jasper had lost a lot of weight recently.

I forgave him.

I still liked Jasper. I don’t want to ruin our relationship.

I went on a business trip for a week.
