Chapter 545: The Person Jasper Shaw Needs to Take Care Of

The two of them exchanged a look and fell silent.

Jasper Shaw’s first impression of Samson Upton was quite good. He already knew a little about the young man before him.

After all, his grandfather mentioned this student—the Physics Genius—to him almost every day.

He was just, admittedly, a bit hopeless when it came to everyday life.

“Where’s your personal assistant?”

Samson Upton was handsome. He was clearly a little timid when he saw Jasper Shaw, only speaking after glancing at Chloe Sinclair. “He went to get me some food. I just wanted to tidy up a bit since no one has lived here for months. I didn’t expect it to be so dusty.”

Jasper Shaw told Samson Upton to give him the broom.

Samson Upton shook his head, coughed a couple more times, and waved his hands. “It’s fine, I can handle it myself.”

Afraid they wouldn’t believe him, Samson Upton hurriedly swept a couple more times.

The result was an even bigger cloud of dust.

Jasper Shaw and Chloe Sinclair: “…”

‘Yeah, right.’

Seeing that the young man didn’t seem to be in good health, Jasper Shaw quickly contacted another personal assistant at the base. One came up in less than five minutes.

Samson Upton stood in the doorway, staring pitifully into his room like a child who had done something wrong.

Chloe Sinclair couldn’t help but console him. “Samson Upton, it’s okay. You’re so smart, you’ll get the hang of it if you just practice a little.”

Samson Upton just stared at them pitifully, not saying a word.

‘He knew he would never be able to learn.’

“My assistant got me a lot of food. Have you two eaten yet? Would you like to join me?”

Neither Chloe Sinclair nor Jasper Shaw refused Samson Upton’s invitation.

After all, his pleading gaze made it impossible for them to say no.

Samson Upton’s room wasn’t large, but it had everything one could need.

Even though he had barely ever returned to his dorm, it wasn’t missing a single essential item.

Five boxes were arranged on a small table, filled to the brim with food.

After offering a few words of instruction, the personal assistant left.

Jasper Shaw watched the retreating figure of Samson Upton’s personal assistant, lost in thought.

Samson Upton couldn’t help but explain, “My personal assistant was assigned to me by one of my older brothers. He follows me wherever I go.”

Jasper Shaw understood.

Neither Samson Upton nor Chloe Sinclair ate very much, but with five dishes, the three of them were quite full.

After the meal, Samson Upton saw Chloe Sinclair and Jasper Shaw out, then immediately fell into bed and went to sleep.

As for the other two, they returned to their own still-messy room. Chloe Sinclair rolled up her sleeves and said, “Let’s do this together. We finally have a day off, so the sooner we finish, the sooner we can sleep.”

Jasper Shaw knew he couldn’t change the young woman’s mind, so he could only nod. The two of them then quietly got to work cleaning.

In bed—

Chloe Sinclair lay in the bed, with Jasper Shaw on the outer edge. Neither of them felt sleepy, however.

Even though they weren’t doing anything, the air between them felt incredibly tense.

‘Chloe cursed herself for feeling this way.’

They stared at each other, wide-eyed. Finally, Chloe Sinclair broke the silence. “Why were you so polite to Samson Upton today?”

Chloe Sinclair really did find it a little strange.

After all, Jasper Shaw wasn’t exactly a social butterfly, not even in the business world. He had very few genuine friends; because of his high standing, most people just tried to curry favor with him.

Hearing this, Jasper Shaw sat up in bed and told Chloe Sinclair the whole story about Samson Upton.

“Samson Upton is my grandfather’s newest student. Grandpa said he’s brilliant when it comes to Physics, just a little timid, so he asked me to look after him a bit now that we’re at the base.”

After hearing this, Eve couldn’t help but ask, “How come I didn’t know about this?”

‘Funny, considering Mr. Jealousy himself had thrown a fit not too long ago.’
