NovelBarChapter 709 Treat Everyone Equally Jasper didn't call anyone when he arrived. Instead, he quietly sat at the bar counter, sipping his drink. Even though the staff at Mystique had been replaced a few times, Skyler, the manager, remained.
Skyler cover upon hearing Jasper's arrival.
"Hello, Jasper. I haven't seen you for a long time." Jasper looked over and smiled slightly. "Yes, it's been a while. You're still around." Skyler smiled politely. "Yes, I've thought about leaving. But once I step out of Mystique, I'm not sure where I'd go. So I've stayed. Guess I've gotten too comfortable here." "Sit down and have a drink with me." "Sure." The two sat together at the bar counter, catching up like old friends after a long absence.

You probably forgot, but the wine you stored here before you left is still in the cellar. It hasn't been finished." "Oh?" Jasper wasn't surprised he'd forgotten. After being away for a few years, it was natural.
Skyler gestured for the bartender to retrieve the wine from the cellar.
"Jasper, don't think too much of it. I just figured it'd be a shfor such good wine to go to waste." The wine had appreciated over time, and what Jasper had paid back then wouldn't compare to its value now. Leaning back in his chair, Jasper asked casually, "How many bottles did I store back then?" "Three. You drank two. There's still one left unopened." "Now I remember," Jasper recalled having purchased them to cheer up a waiter.
"That waiter's gone, right?" "Yes, she left a while ago. Surprised you still remember her." "I have an impression of her." "She returned to her studies after saving enough. It's been a few years now, so she's probably graduated by now." The bartender returned with the wine.
After sharing a couple more drinks, Skyler had other matters to attend to and left first.
Jasper lingered at the bar for another half hour and enjoyed the music before leaving.
The Apex monthly report lay on Jasper's desk, with the first page the female artist.
Violeta at the t Jasper scanned her schedule and said, "From now on, I'd like to see Violeta's schedule first." Jeffrey, his assistant, nodded, not surprised by the request.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVioleta was Apex's biggest star at the moment, and it made sense that Jasper would want to keep a close eye on her. "Sure, I'll list all her schedules in one form." "Hmm." After briefly reviewing the other reports, Jasper was about to dismiss Jeffrey when he changed his mind.
"Forget it. Leave things as they are. I don't need to see her schedule separately." Confused, Jeffrey asked, "Why?" Jasper squinted. "Treat everyone equally. I should treat everyone equally." He repeated the phrase, not just for Jeffrey but as if reminding himself.
"But Violeta's our top artist right now. It's n bet good idea to monitor kér to avoid any issues like we had with Lydia-" "That won't be necessary. Violeta isn't Lydia. You can go now." Jasper cut him off, making it clear the conversation was over.
"Alright." Jeffrey nodded, leaving the office quietly but remained puzzled.
From a business standpoint, it made perfect sense to track the activities of top artists Jasper had been right to ask for special attention from Violeta at first. So, why the sudden change? Treating everyone equally? What does that mean?
Jeffrey couldn't figure it out, thinking Jasper's decisions were hard to m understand.
Jasper had always been a hands-off leader, even skipping over the M financia reports lately.
