Chapter 59 - Karma is a bitch (1/2)
In the car, Caspar kept holding Finland's hand as if he was afraid the girl would run away and leave him if he didn't look after her carefully.
He couldn't get their last conversation on the phone out of his head. He felt like he was suffering from karma because he fell in love with a girl who didn't return his love.
He could then imagine how all those girls he had dated felt when he dumped them after one month. The feeling of regret slowly settled on his chest.
Ugh... after 400 years, he finally understood why people said 'karma is a bitch'.
Because women never forget...
”Have you had dinner?” Caspar asked.
”Not yet,” Finland said.
”Let's stop by Continental Hotel first for dinner,” Caspar told Jadeith who was driving.
”Yes, Sir.”
They made a stop by the Continental Hotel. As soon as the Rolls Royce entered the lobby area, the on-duty manager and several staff immediately came out to greet Caspar from the car. They marched and bowed respectfully.
Jadeith opened the door for Caspar and Ben opened the door for Finland. At that time, Finland felt like a princess from the movies. Caspar walked to Finland's side, held her hand, and guided her in.
”I wasn't aware that Master will come tonight, so I didn't have time to close Moon Restaurant. Do you want to go to another restaurant or eat at your penthouse?” asked Manager Park.
”No need,” said Caspar. ”We can eat with the other guests.”
He turned to Finland and whispered, ”I can really live like a normal human.”
Finland understood the point Caspar was trying to make. However, no normal person could casually come without reservation to have dinner at the Moon Restaurant of Continental Hotel and get a table, thought Finland.
Normal people must reserve at least one month in advance.
Continental Hotel was the most magnificent and luxurious hotel in Singapore, and the main restaurant, that was located on the ground floor, was a 3 Michelin-starred restaurant. It was a very popular restaurant among the upper class society which offers the best cuisine in the world. Ordinary people must make a reservation at least one month in advance to get a table.
Of course, as in other VIP restaurants, there was always a special table vacated from reservation to receive VIP guests who arrive without prior notice. World celebrities, politicians and super-rich people were able to receive this VIP treatment; they could come without reservation and get a table.
The two of them followed Manager Park into the Moon Restaurant which was full of guests. They were seated at the best table near the beautiful garden and an artificial waterfall. As they walked by, guests who were enjoying their dinner stopped eating and turned their gaze to follow the two.
Of course, Caspar's appearance was very eye catching, especially to the women who were there. The combination of his very handsome face, fashionable appearance, and slightly arrogant way of walking fascinated them. He looked and acted like he owned the place (which in this case is true, but they didn't know).
People started whispering as soon as they sat down.
