Chapter 154 - The Handsome Nanny (1/2)

Lauriel knew that Finland didn't sleep well that night because the girl had panda eyes when they met at the dining table for breakfast the next morning. Aleksis was still asleep after Finland took a shower and got ready for work.

”Usually she gets up at 7...” complained Finland. ”It's already 8 o'clock, but Aleksis is still sleeping.”

”Can't blame her, the bed here is indeed very comfortable,” Lauriel smiled faintly. He handed a cup of coffee to Finland. ”Milk?”

”Yes, please.” Finland lifted her coffee cup and let Lauriel pour in some milk. ”I'm sorry to bother you again... Please watch over Aleksis today.”

”No problem.” Lauriel brought a pan filled with pancakes and placed two on her plate. ”Sorry for such a basic breakfast. It's been a long time since I made breakfast for a girl who stayed overnight.”

”Why, thank you.” Finland blushed. She understood what he meant. Even though they were friends, she still felt reluctant to stay at the house of a man who was not her husband.

Finland went to the office by bus. Although Lauriel offered to drive her, she refused. She had a lot of thoughts on her mind and did not want to give Lauriel, who was already kind enough to offer her a ride, the 'silent treatment' during their drive. Therefore, she felt riding the bus was a better choice.

Finland daydreamed a lot in the office that day. Her friends were very surprised to see this as they were used to seeing Finland very focused on work.

”You're daydreaming again, like yesterday...” said Anne as they finished a meeting. ”Do you have a problem?”

”Uhmm... I just have a lot of thoughts. It's okay, really,” answered Finland avoiding their questions.

”Want to have lunch together?” asked Anne again.

”Hi, Finland... someone's looking for you.” Suddenly Cindy, the office manager, came to the meeting room. Her face looked radiant with joy. ”Your boyfriend is so handsome, you should bring him to the office more often. ”

The people from the Market Research department looked at each other and teased Finland. Finland's office mates in San Francisco were not like her colleagues in Singapore. They liked her and sympathized with her because the girl lived alone and worked hard while raising her child. When Cindy said Finland had a boyfriend, they were genuinely happy for her.

”I don't have a boyfriend...” Finland objected quickly. She waved her hands to her colleagues, trying to convince them of her words. But then Lauriel entered with Aleksis in his arms, and the muffled sighs of her female colleagues made Finland turn toward the door. ”Ehh... what are you guys doing here?”

”Mummyyy...” Aleksis rushed towards Finland and the girl immediately accepted her from Lauriel's arms. ”I miss you!”
