Chapter 53 - You are my only weakness (1/2)

Finland thought about how comfortable it felt to be in Caspar's arms and her heart felt a little sore. She knew that Caspar was a bit frustrated because Finland still found it hard to give him her heart and believe in him.

Finland hoped that she could easily receive the abundance of love and luxury that were provided for her, but she lived such a hard life for so long, she felt that her fears were justified.

After all, Caspar promised to wait. It's only been a week, she thought.

”I must sleep now. Tomorrow I will to go to Universal Studios with Jean and Katia.”

”Katia will come along? What for?” Caspar asked in surprise. ”Are you close to her? Isn't she just a corporate client?”

”We are friends outside of work,” Finland said. ”She is a good person. She knows Jean too, so last week we had dinner together and Jean asked her to come along with us to Universal Studios. Katia said she never had a friend she could go to amusement parks together with...”

”I didn't know you had dinner with Katia. I also didn't know that tomorrow you will go to Universal Studios with her...” Caspar's voice sounded worried. ”I promised not to stalk you, so I don't know all this information...”

”Yeah, I forgot to tell you...”

”Finland, I promised not to use my access to stalk you, but in return you promised me that you will tell me everything. If I don't know anything, I can't protect you.”

”Protect me from what?” asked Finland confused. ”I have not been bullied by anyone. I am not rich either, so no one can do me any harm because of money...”

”I have to protect you because I have enemies. You are my weakness,” Caspar said slowly, ”I am protecting you to protect myself.”

That's when Jean's words suddenly rang in her head: two people who love each other would become one.

Did Caspar have enemies? What kind of enemies did he have...? Business enemies or...?

Were they ordinary people or were they from the Alchemist clan?

There were so many questions raging in Finland's mind.

She was Caspar's weakness...?

It meant that, to protect Caspar, Finland had to protect herself...

For Caspar's sake she must not act carelessly.

Now then she understood Jean's words.

”I understand now...” Finland finally replied. ”But what does it have to do with me meeting Katia and being friends with her? She is kind to me.”
