Chapter 162 - The Music Box (2/2)

She saw that her clothes were still hanging neatly in the walk-in closet, and there were many expensive coats Caspar had bought for her. She didn't need to shop anymore.

After flying for so many hours, her body felt very tired. Added with several years' worth of stress, finally Finland could not stand it anymore. Finally alone, she curled up on the bed and sobbed.

For the past few years, Aleksis was always beside her, so she did not dare cry. She could only withstand all her sadness, alone. Now, since Aleksis was with Lauriel, finally for the first time in two years Finland could cry until her tears ran out.

Jean was memorizing the script for his next scene that would be shot this afternoon. He was currently working on an interesting movie about World War 2 and the shooting was done in Normandy.

He returned to work two weeks ago because he did not get any news about Finland's whereabouts. He was quite worried about her fate. There's no way a human could just disappear, right? He was afraid that something bad had happened to the girl.

”Hi Jean, want some coffee? I brought extra for you,” Lily De Vries, his co-star in the movie, opened the trailer door after knocking twice. She handed a cup of coffee to Jean who was reading the script and sat next to him. ”Today more women came claiming to be your best friend. Huh... those women would do anything so they can meet you.”

”Hmm...” Jean nodded tiredly. Since the press conference, a lot of women had called his manager to try to meet him. All of them claimed to be Finland. After meeting dozens of impostors, he finally gave up hope and didn't expect to see Finland again.

”But at least this one isn't as brutal as the previous girls. She was polite, and she gave you a present.” Lily pulled a box out of her coat pocket, ”This music box is so beautiful. If you don't like it, just give it to me ...”

Jean accepted the music box with a frown. He opened it and softly the tune of La Vien Rose started playing. He was taken aback. This music box felt very familiar.

”Where is the person who gave you this music box?” he asked quickly.

”I met her at the gate. She had been waiting for hours, she said, and no one would let her in. So, when she saw me walking towards the set, she stopped me and politely asked me to deliver this gift to you.” Lily looked at Jean in surprise. ”Why?”

Jean immediately ran out of the trailer looking for Finland.

This music box felt very familiar. Surely the person who came was the Finland whom he was looking for...

Instantly his chest swirled with tension and excitement. She was here…
