Chapter 22 - Who Won The Bet? (2/2)

She owed Jean again.

”Thank you...” Finland hugged Jean and tried to hold back her tears that almost fell. ”I'm so blessed to have you.”

Jean smiled and wiped her tears gently. ”Psshhh... don't ruin your mascara. OK, time for me to perform...”

He entered the stage along with 9 other models and immediately captivated the audience. They were impressed by the latest and most luxurious products from Bartz as well as by Jean's mere presence. He was the hottest model in Europe and it was usually very difficult to book his schedule, but this evening he unexpectedly showed up here.

The managers from Bartz were very satisfied and excited. They couldn't wait to talk to Jean after the show was over.

The LTX International girls were just as surprised as the guests when they saw Jean appear. They felt very fortunate because their event became more exclusive with his presence.

Finland was relieved, because the show was a success... but she was also sad because she lost the bet…

After his performance Jean returned to the open bar where he could finally chat with Finland, under the watchful eyes of so many envious girls.

”I lost the bet...” Finland complained.

Jean was also sad to hear that. He knew how important the bet was for Finland. The girl had never been kissed by anyone before.

”Hello everyone, please, may I have your attention... We have a special guest this evening,” said Ms. Fang who suddenly took the microphone from the MC. ”The very busy Continental Hotel owner is willing to say a word or two.”

Everyone looked at each other and immediately turned their gaze to the stage. Finland's office mates were one of the first to turn because they knew that she had a connection with the old cow.

”Good evening everyone, I am Heinrich Schneider. Thank you for choosing to hold this prestigious event at our hotel. Please enjoy the presentation that we prepared especially for LTX International and Bartz. I hope this event is a success.”

The man wore a blue tuxedo and looked rich from head to toe. He was definitely not the old and ugly cow many people in LTX initially assumed. This was the mysterious rich man whose pictures or information could never be found on the internet. That was why people easily assumed that he was an old cow who liked to date beautiful young girls as sugar babies.

Now many were whispering how young and handsome this Continental Hotel owner was.

It was so unexpected!

Tony frowned and turned to Finland, ”Why does he look like the impostor we sent to the police?”

Finland did not answer. She only pursed her lips, annoyed. She saw Caspar's gaze fixed on her, with his nonchalant look. The gaze then turned serious and dangerous when he looked at the person standing to Finland's right. She realized that Caspar was watching Jean.

Instinctively Finland took Jean's hand and stood in front of him to block Caspar's view. She didn't want Caspar to harm Jean like he had when he tried killing LTX's shares last week.

Finland would never forgive Caspar if he touched Jean, her only friend.

Caspar's face looked unhappy.
