Chapter 202 - He DID NOT go to prison (2/2)
Only now Caspar understood what had happened. His face turned sour.
Just this morning he was almost kicked out of his own hotel, and now his wife's office mates thought that he spent some time in prison because he was out of the picture for several years?
Ugh... this was a risk he had to bear for living a life with such strict privacy. His own employees didn't know the face of their big boss.
Anne and Lucia were speechless. The man in front of them was very handsome and for a moment they held their breath, just like Finland did when she first saw Caspar in his Maybach after bumping into him at the airport.
Was this really Finland's husband? What a lucky girl, they both thought to themselves.
At that moment Tony suddenly entered to give the girls an assignment before they left work. He was momentarily stunned by Caspar's presence.
He remembered seeing this man somewhere before...
”Gosh... you... you are Mr. Schneider, aren't you?” he asked in a doubtful voice. He remembered seeing Caspar giving a speech at the Bartz product launch event at the Continental Hotel several years ago.
Caspar smiled, happy to hear that someone finally recognized him as an important person. He nodded at Tony.
”Hello Mr. Wu. I was just stopping by. LTX's work with Atlas Corp's business for the past two years was very good,” he said kindly. ”Thank you for your hard work.”
Huh... prison? No way. He glared at Anne and Lucia who now looked very uncomfortable.
”Ohh...” Tony Wu was then able to connect the series of events that occurred three years ago when Noah was suddenly fired from his position as Atlas Corp's Marketing Manager. Apparently it was the Schneider Group that bought Atlas Corp. He hurriedly responded, ”We are very pleased to be working with Atlas Corp.”
He reached out his hand and shook Caspar's hand respectfully.
”You're welcome,” Caspar replied.
”I know that the Schneider Group has many companies investing in Asia... if you need our help, don't hesitate to contact me.” Tony handed his business card very happily.
”Hmm... I'm not taking care of my business at the moment,” Caspar said, but he took Tony's business card, so he wouldn't offend him, ”One day, if we need your assistance in anything, Stanis Van Der Ven will be in contact with LTX. Meanwhile, my purpose of coming here today is to pick up Finland.”
”Ohh...” Tony then realized that Caspar was carrying Finland's daughter, and understood that Finland and this man certainly had a special relationship. ”Oh... so Finland will quit working because...”
Caspar nodded. ”She said she needed a month to train her replacement. Uhm... could it possibly be made faster?”
Tony, who was good at reading the situation, immediately realized what was happening. To win Caspar's heart he immediately nodded.
”Of course. Today we have chosen her replacement and within 24 hours I can ensure that the transition will be completed. We are very sad to lose Finland from LTX, but of course we will be happy if she can spend time with her family. Family is the most important thing in life...”
Finland was astonished to hear how easily Caspar made Tony let her go within 24 hours.
Whaa... what? Just like that?
”Good. I really appreciate this,” Caspar smiled broadly. ”Tomorrow Finland will come to work one last time and make sure her replacement is ready, now we want to go home.”
Caspar picked up Finland's bag and took her hand to leave the office, turning away from the envious looks of all the women in the office and Tony's smiling face.
Tony Wu was very happy to know that Finland had a special relationship with the owner of one of the largest corporation group in the world. If Tony could give a good impression to Heinrich Schneider, it would certainly be useful for his business in the future.
