Chapter 72 - Lets go on holiday! (2/2)
Finland recalled that after dinner at De Lune last Friday, Tony confessed his love for her, and at the same time asked Finland to move to the US with him to help Tony lead the company there.
If Finland didn't have Caspar by her side, she would gladly accept the offer to relocate to US provided Tony paid the fine for her not completing her full responsibility of working in Singapore for three years.
Finland really wanted to see the world and US was a place full of possibilities. If Jean switched to acting, someday he would also move to US.
However, Finland will never return Tony's love. Although she harbored a crush on him when she was in college, her feelings were completely eroded when she found out that Tony was aware that Noah was repeatedly harassing Finland during dinner, but did nothing.
For Finland this was a fatal mistake. She couldn't be with a man who didn't respect and defend her.
She was very happy because Caspar wasn't like that at all. He was always ready to protect and stand up for her.
As an orphaned girl who had to work hard and defend herself, for the first time in her life, Finland could feel a sense of peace for not having to put up her guard all the time. she could finally relax a little because she had someone to protect her.
Her protector was very powerful, and yet very lowkey, which was a perfect combination so that people would not be too careful around them. Noah was a perfect example for this.
If at that time he had known right away who the man having dinner with Finland at Moon Restaurant was, he would never have dared to poke at Finland in front of him. Caspar was far more powerful than his boss, Sam Atlas, the owner of Atlas Corp, and yet no one knew him.
After lunch, Finland applied for a two-day leave to HR. Because they did not have any events planned on those dates and due to her good working performance, Ms. Song allowed her to take leave for two days.
With a two-day leave plus the weekend, Finland and Caspar could enjoy a four-day holiday together.
”Just bring lots of summer dresses, we will sunbathe all day long on the beach while reading a book,” Caspar said as he put some clothes, swimming equipment and snorkel gear into his Louis Vuitton duffel bag.
”Are we going to Bali?” Finland asked excitedly. She had only been to Bali once, when she was in high school. It was a school trip and all students had to travel to Bali for their senior year.
She didn't have to pay for the trip because, as a poor student, she was subsidized. But the insults and bullying she received from Meilin and her gang at that time left a deep scar in her heart.
”No... this is better than Bali,” Caspar said with a secretive smile. ”If you want we can also go to Bali for one night. After we have fun in this special place, that is.”
Finland was very excited to hear that. Better than Bali? Was that even possible? Bali had won numerous awards as the best island in the world and one of the top tourist destinations.
