Jake was a natural-born poker face as he never showed signs of happiness or grief on the surface. As time passed, he developed a gloomy aura around him.

“A grave robber pretending to be a ghost, this is creative…” Casper sized him up and said, “How much can you get for a month working here?”

“Four thousand a month, and meals provided,” Jake replied. He then looked at Casper and said, “It seems like you are not doing as good as me.”

The latter was rendered speechless.

During the Antique Fair, Jake only noticed Casper was close with Victoria and had good skills. Other than that, he could not recall much. So he did not realize that Casper was wealthy as he assumed he was just a staff in Victoria’s Chamber.

Casper coughed and said, “Have you eaten? Let me buy you a meal.”

He brought Jake to a stall selling burritos on Horington food street. They sat down, and Casper placed his order. “One burrito, please, and I want everything in it.”

Jake was flustered. “Are you buying me food?”

Seeing his response, Casper was a bit intrigued and asked, “After digging graves with your dad, shouldn’t the rewards be more than enough to support you a lifetime? Are you really this poor?”

Jake shook his head and responded, “Since I have decided to quit the field, I should not be spending that money.”

Casper did not know what rules he was referring to, but from Jake’s staring at the burrito, though his expression did not show, it was obvious to Casper that he was starving.

Casper then offered, “Come work for me, and I’ll offer you two hundred thousand a month.”

Jake turned and looked at Casper, keeping mum. The latter could not guess what was in his mind and assumed his offer was insufficient, so he continued, “Just say how much you want. It’s up to you, and there’s no need to feel shy around me.”

Jake was actually wondering if Casper could afford the money, but he wanted to finish the meal before continuing on this topic. So he said, “Let me think about it.”
