Chapter 72 - Lets go on holiday! (1/2)

Sunday afternoon, Finland had to bid farewell to her home for the past 3.5 months, a beautiful pavilion behind Rose Mansion. She moved in to the second floor and shared a room with Caspar.

The room was over 120 square meters in size with lots of space to sit and relax. Finland's favorite place was the large, beautiful sofa overlooking the top veranda. It had the most comfortable seat and the best view.

”This is also my favorite place to sit to do light work,” Caspar said. ”We have the same taste.”

”Ahahah... what a coincidence.” Finland said.

”What about the lessons on how to have fun taught by Jean? Have you had enough?” Caspar asked as he sat next to Finland and laid his head on her lap, ”I can continue the curriculum if Jean left before the lesson is complete.”

”Hmm... we watched a lot of movies, we did some bar-hopping, we went wakeboarding, well, he did the wakeboarding and I watched from the side, then we went to Universal Studios.” Finland recalled, ”It feels like we have done a lot of things... Oh! And you took me to the Singapore Flyer to eat. Maybe the next time we can go to a museum or take a vacation somewhere else...”

”I promised to take you on vacation at the end of November. Next week.” said Caspar, reminding her, ”Remember that I asked for three days of your time for giving you the entire House of La Pearl collection at that time?”

”Ah yes... right. I have to apply for leave tomorrow for the end of November. Where are we going?”

”That is a secret.” Caspar replied calmly. ”All you need to do is apply for leave and bring your most beautiful smile.”

”Ahahaha... are you still working on the 'Make Finland Smile' project?” Finland asked. She rarely saw Caspar taking photos of her now.

”I am. I'll take another good photo later.” Caspar cleared his throat, ”On December 31st, when we get married in Germany, it will be exactly 6 months after the project started. Make Finland Smile. Mission accomplished.”

Finland just smiled listening to his explanation. She rubbed Caspar's hair on her lap.

That's true. Compared to 4.5 months ago, she now smiled a lot more. Most of her smiles were caused by the man whose head now rested on her lap.

Monday, Finland felt Tony's attitude somewhat different towards her. She could not decide whether it was a look of pity or hate... Every time they passed each other Tony would sigh.

Maybe Tony still thought Finland was a wealthy old businessman's mistress after Finland rejected his love and went home in a luxury car.
