Chapter 19 - Final Preparations (2/2)

The staff exchanged confused looks.

”But Miss, our program tomorrow is very exclusive and there are a lot of very expensive items on display. If we let anyone in, theft or other big problems may occur,” said one staff, confused.

”Don't worry. The Continental hotel is a classy hotel. They have very good security. They will not carelessly let just anyone come inside. You focus on guest services only.”

After making sure everyone understood her instructions, Finland rushed home. She was relieved because she did not meet Caspar at the hotel at all. For safety precautions, however, she kept her face mask on until she was sure that Caspar could not see her.

[I've arrived at the apartment. I brought Pierre Herme macarons for you. When do you want them?]

Finland received Jean's message late. She was very busy and did not see her cellphone while she was at the Continental Hotel.

[Sorry, I just got home. I was very busy earlier.]

[Dinner with me tomorrow? I just stopped by for a while. In a few days I have a job in Hong Kong.]

[OMG, I'd love to. But tomorrow there is an important company event I've been working on for the past month. If you don't mind, do you want to come to our event? There is a free dinner]

[Ahahaha... if it's only dinner, I can afford it myself.]

[I know. But I want you to come and see my work. I want you to feel proud of me.]

[I am proud of you, Finland. You are the coolest person I know. I will come.]

[Yeay! I am glad to hear that. See you tomorrow.]

Finland almost fell asleep when a text from Jean appeared on her cellphone.

[Will Caspar come tomorrow? Can I finally I meet him?]

Hmm... Finland was very confident that Caspar will come in disguise tomorrow to win the bet. She did not know whether or not she should tell Jean.

Suddenly her head felt very dizzy.
