Chapter 11 - The Owner of Continental Hotel (2/2)
”Huh? You seriously don't care if people think of you as an Continental Hotel bigwig's mistress as long as you can get the venue?” He asked, fixating his gaze on the pair of angry eyes in front of him to make sure he heard correctly. ”Are you normal or not?Reputation is very important for normal people, you know.”
”I don't care. No matter what I do, those people won't change their bad impression of me. I have no friends who defend me whenever there are bad rumors circulating about me. So why should I care about my non-existent reputation? I can better focus on making money.”
”So you choose money?” Caspar asked later, ”over your reputation?”
”Reputation cannot be used to pay rent,” Finland answered with a laugh.
”So, if I told you that I can help you get the venue at Continental Hotel, you will accept it?” Caspar asked earnestly. ”Even if it will convince your office mates that you are someone's mistress?”
”You help me get the venue at the Continental Hotel? Ahahaha... don't joke around so lightly with me. I'm serious when it comes to an 800-dollar bonus,” Finland replied with a laugh.
”I'm serious. I can get the venue for you. Are you not ashamed to be called a Continental Hotel owner's mistress?”
”I'm not ashamed,” Finland answered firmly. ”I know the truth. Let other people think of me whatever they want; I know that I am not a mistress. I work hard and I make honest money with my own effort.”
”Okay, then. When do you need the venue?”
”The 10th of next month.”
”OK.” Caspar typed something on his cellphone and sent the short email. ”Done.”
”What is that?”
”I have ordered my secretary to clear the schedule of the Continental Hotel's main ballroom on the 10th of next month.”
Finland laughed again, she was amused, ”You're so funny.”
”So, since I've helped you receive an 800-dollar bonus, you need to treat me again,” Caspar said, finishing his bubble tea. ”Hmm... 800 dollars is a lot of money. I will give two options for our next date for you to choose from: Universal Studios or dinner at a Michelin starred Restaurant.”
”Hahaha...” Finland still burst out laughing, ”You can't be serious.”
Caspar was still acting as if he owned the Continental Hotel.
”Why are you laughing? I'm serious. The Continental Hotel is mine, and I just helped you get the venue you need. If you really receive that 800-dollar bonus, I hope you will treat me to dinner as a thank you.”
Finland still had that crazy smile on her face. Caspar shook his head in disbelief. He needed her to know that he was telling the truth.
”After this let's go the Continental Hotel. I will make you believe that I am really the owner. I promise you, you will get your bonus.”
Caspar grabbed Finland's hand and took her to his black Maybach car that was waiting in front of the bubble tea shop and helped her in.
”We go back to the hotel,” Caspar told the driver.
After hearing those words, Finland's smile slowly faded...
What if.. this man was telling the truth?
She turned to look at the handsome man sitting next to her; he who claimed to be a famous surgeon and now the owner of the Continental Hotel. Caspar's face looked serious and not playful. It seems like he couldn't joke about something like this.
The car arrived at the Continental Hotel 10 minutes later. The driver opened the door and they got out of the car. When the on-duty manager saw the black Maybach enter the lobby, he immediately came to greet him with respect.
”Good evening, Sir. You're home.”
”This is Miss Finland, from LTX. They will hold an event in our hotel next month, I am bringing her to check the location,” Caspar said.
”Do you need me to accompany you, sir?”
”No need.”
Finland gasped when she heard the conversation between Caspar and the on-duty manager. Caspar wasn't joking! He... was he really the owner of this hotel?
After the on-duty manager left, Caspar grabbed Finland's hand and pulled her into the hotel. ”Let me show my house. I now live in this hotel.”
Finland allowed Caspar to hold her hand because her mind suddenly went blank. How could it be? He was serious after all...
