Chapter 202 - He DID NOT go to prison (1/2)

The girl that Finland liked happened to be the candidate that Tony liked too, so that same day they were able to determine who Finland's successor would be in the Market Research Department. Starting tomorrow, she must train the girl to do her work.

”Gosh, I'm so tired...” complained Finland. She really liked working, but after working only part time for 3 months, today's full-time work really drained her energy.

When she went with Lauriel to Brazil, and during the incidents with Alexei and Katia in Singapore, she only had to work two days a week. Today she had to work from the morning until the evening to fill out reports and attend meetings. It was really energy-consuming.

”Finland... will Aleksis' nanny come again today?” Anne asked hopefully while they were tidying up their stuff before going home.

”Uhm... I don't think so. He is currently busy in England,” Finland answered.

”Are you two dating or not?” Lucia asked curiously. They knew that Finland asked for a leave of absence three months ago to travel with Lauriel. The man personally asked for Tony's approval during his engagement dinner. Of course, they were curious what the relationship between Finland and Lauriel really was.

”Ahahahaha... no, we are not dating,” Finland said, shaking her head softly. ”He is Aleksis' godfather, and also my husband's best friend.”

”Husband?” Anne and Lucia looked at each other in surprise. When they met Finland for the first time 2.5 years ago, the girl was pregnant and had no companion. She never told anyone who Aleksis' father was. Of course, they did not think that Finland actually had a husband.

”Gosh... why didn't you ever tell us?” Lucia asked excitedly. ”Where has he been all this time?”

”He had some important business to take care of, but now he is back and that's why I want to quit working, so I can be with him.”

”Was he...” Anne seemed to dislike her own thoughts, ”Ahh... nevermind...”

”What's wrong, Anne? What are you thinking about?” Finland asked, curious.

”Uhmm... he wasn't by your side for the few years you were here...” Anne scratched her non-itchy forehead, ”Was... was he in prison, and now he is finally released?”

Finland almost burst her tea at Anne's innocent question.

Gosh... Anne thought that Finland lived alone because she married a criminal or a gangster who committed a crime and was locked up in prison… and now that he was finally released from jail, she decided to quit working to spend time with him.

Right then the receptionist came in and called her.

”Miss Finland, you have some guests looking for you.”

Finland thought that Caspar and Aleksis must have arrived to pick her up. She asked the receptionist to let Caspar enter, as she wiped the happy tears from her eyes. This was soooo funny, she thought.

Not long after, the man entered with Aleksis, who was sleeping in his arms. He immediately approached Finland, who was still wiping her tears and giggling.

”Hey... what's up, are you crying?” Caspar asked; he was worried.

”No.. it's nothing... I'm not crying...” Finland waved her hand with a big smile, ”I was laughing because I was amused… I laughed so hard that I cried.”

Caspar was momentarily fascinated by that. Finland laughed so hard that she cried? This was something he had never seen before. The girl was someone who was often sad and pessimistic, but today she laughed so openly and looking amused... What was wrong?

”What is so funny?” he asked, interested.

Finland then turned to Anne and Lucia, who were stunned. Their jaws fell open and their eyes widened when they saw Caspar enter with Aleksis.

”This is my husband. His name is Heinrich. We were separated for several years because of some misunderstanding... He DID NOT go to prison...”

Finland couldn't help herself and started laughing her lungs out again.
