Chapter 133 - Moving abroad (2/2)

Finland decided to close her heart tightly and would not open it again to anyone.

***

Finland finally told Tony that she was pregnant a week before her departure for the United States. The man was very surprised and felt tricked because Finland waited for the company to give her the work visa and process her relocation before she told him about her situation.

”I'm sorry... I'm afraid that if I told you about my pregnancy before, you won't accept me coming to America.” Finland looked down. She wringed her fingers frantically. ”I promise to repay you if you don't cancel all this. I will do a good job...”

Tony took a deep breath. They were having lunch at De Lune to discuss the details of Finland's departure next week and suddenly Finland gave him this unpleasant surprise. He watched Finland's face for a long time and took a few deep breaths.

”Who is the father?” Finally he asked.

”You don't know him.” Finland answered softly. ”I don't have anyone else in this world. I only know you, and I need a new life.”

”San Francisco is a very expensive city and you will have difficulty raising your child alone.”

”Singapore is also very expensive...” Finland said in reply to Tony. ”I will live frugally. You don't need to give me special treatment, I will look after myself. Right now, I need to work and live in a new place.”

”Why don't you go home to Indonesia?” Tony asked again.

”I have no one in Indonesia, and I can no longer live in Singapore. Nobody will want to hire me in another country and give me visa because I don't know anyone. You need my skills and I can be trusted, I need a sponsor from the company to be able to live in United States, so we both gain mutual benefit...”

Tony pondered for a long time. On the one hand he felt troubled, but on the other hand he did not have the heart to reject her, because after all, he once liked the girl sitting in front of him. He knew that Finland was a hard worker and so far she had suffered a lot. Now that Jean was in a coma, Finland indeed didn't have anyone else.

Finally, he could not reject her plea.

”Well... for the sake of our friendship in the past, and how hard you have worked... I will help you.” Finally, Tony made a decision.

”Thank you. I owe you...”
