Chapter 52 - Driving Lessons with Jadeith 2 (1/2)

Jean was impressed by Jadeith's capability to persuade the manager to empty the driving center. Now there was only the three of them.

”Who closed this place?” Jean asked Finland with a frown. Finland could only sigh in annoyance. ”Seriously? This place is closed only for you to practice driving?”

He did not need to hear Finland's answer because Jadeith confirmed his allegations.

”Master likes privacy, and Madam too,” said Jadeith. He invited Finland, who was standing a few meters away from the car, to get into the car to start their training. ”Please Madam.”

”Madam?” Jean raised an eyebrow and asked with a voice holding back laughter, ”When did you marry his Master? How come I was not invited?”

”Don't ask me,” Finland answered, shrugging.

Jean just shook his head and followed her to the car. He entered the car and sat in the back seat.

”I want to witness a historic moment when Finland can finally drive,” he said, smiling casually. ”Uhmm... or the moment when we die together when the car crashes.”

”Jeannnnn...!! Don't stress me out!” Finland exclaimed, accidentally stepping on the gas when she was supposed to hit the brakes.

Jadeith coughed, trying to calm the atmosphere. Jean laughed even louder.

Two hours later, the driving practice ended. No one was hurt and the car survived unscratched. That alone made Finland sigh in relief.

Jadeith then drove them back to Rose Mansion. Finland invited Jean to have dinner with her. She wanted to show Jean that Rose Mansion was not a haunted house.

”Good evening, Ms. Law. Please meet Jean, my best friend.” Finland introduced Jean to Ms. Law who welcomed them at the door. Unlike Jadeith, Ms. Law was very sweet to Jean. ”Tonight, I'm inviting him to dinner here. Can I use the kitchen to cook?”

”Of course, Miss. Hello, how are you, Jean?”

”I am good, thank you. Nice to meet you, Ms. Law.”

Finland was very good at cooking because she was used to taking care of herself since she was little. She had become creative in using food ingredients so that she could make delicious dishes on a budget.

Cooking alone was much cheaper than buying ready-to-eat food, but ever since she moved in to Rose Mansion, there was almost no opportunity for Finland to cook. Now that Jean still hadn't returned to Paris, she wanted to show him her gratitude by cooking something for Jean.

”Can I help you with anything?” Jean asked when Finland took out spices and various food ingredients from the refrigerator.

”No. Just sit comfortably in the dining chair, drink a glass of wine, and talk with me,” Finland said with a broad smile.

”Sounds good.” Jean laughed.

They chatted while Finland cooked. Jean shared stories about his work and the various people he met in the entertainment industry. They discussed their plans to travel around Europe with a camper van one day when Finland was able to drive, and about Finland's work and the projects she was working on.

Finland made Caesar salad and saltimbocca, and they ate while continuing their conversation.
