Chapter 45 - Private Plane (2/2)

She looked at the photos sent by Caspar and for some reason she could not take her eyes off the fifth photo. Caspar looked very handsome in his fancy chair; he was busy working on his laptop with his shoulders leaning slightly against the plane's window. In the vicinity she could see several staff who also seemed to be busy.

They have been separated for just a few hours, but Finland was starting to miss him already...

Finland asked for permission to go home early with an excuse to shop for new clothes. Because she was sure that everyone was still in the office, Finland contacted Jadeith to pick her up in front of the building. No one would notice anyway.

”Good afternoon, Madam.” Jadeith opened the door for Finland and the girl hurriedly entered.

”Good afternoon, Jadeith. We go straight home. Later this evening I have to go out for dinner with the company's clients.”

”Understood.” Jadeith started driving towards Rose Mansion. ”Master asked me to teach Madam how to drive. How about we start tomorrow after work at the Bukit Batok driving facility?”

”Uhm... sure. You know better.”

Throughout her life Finland had never intended to learn how to drive a car. She couldn't even ride a bicycle. After living in Singapore for 4.5 years, she did not feel the need. There were various public transportation options available in Singapore. She also did not know whether, in this lifetime, she would ever afford a car. In Singapore, the cost of owning a car is so much higher compared to other countries in the world.

But Finland understood why Caspar asked her to learn to drive. It was indeed a very useful life skill. If there were an emergency and she had to take someone to the hospital, they would save valuable time and maybe a life if she could directly jump in a car and drive to the hospital, instead of waiting for help to arrive. Same goes with swimming.

Rose Mansion had a big swimming pool behind the house and Finland was determined to learn swimming when she was not too busy.

”We have arrived.” said Jadeith a while later. Finland, who was busy with her own thoughts, woke up from her reverie. She thanked Jadeith and got out of the car.

”Where do you live, Jadeith?”

”I temporarily stay at the Hotel.” answered Jadeith. ”Usually we only stay in Singapore for about a month, Madam. We have permanent residences in Berlin and New York.”

”Oh, so you usually live in Germany and United States?” Finland was interested in hearing Jadeith's answer. ”Who do you mean by us?”

”Master and his six personal bodyguards. Normally we always stay together. Master spends most of his time in Stuttgart or Berlin and New York. Usually he comes to Singapore for only a month to take care of matters related to his companies in Asia. This is the only time Master decided to stay longer.”

”Oh...”

Finland just realized that Caspar did not live permanently in Singapore. He had been staying in Singapore for almost 4 months now, so surely there were a lot of habits in his life that changed because of his decision to extend his stay in Singapore. She also didn't know that Caspar had six personal bodyguards. She indeed still had a lot to learn about the man.

She knew that Caspar was part of the Alchemist clan who stay young forever. He had a younger sister named Flora and a younger brother named Aldebar. She also knew that Ben, who was Caspar's personal driver, was not a mere driver, because his brother, Stanis, was the head of Caspar's family staff.

Apart from this information, Finland realized that she did not know much about Caspar.
