Chapter 224 - Gossipping the Big Boss (1/2)
Two female employees came with their food and joined Finland and Ruth at their table. They introduced themselves to Finland as Susan and Priyanka, from the Legal Department. They seemed eager to follow Ruth's conversation about their boss.
”Oh, God... Ruth just texted me that Mr. Schneider is eating on the 30th floor... I couldn't believe it, so I came up to see it for myself...” Priyanka said in response. ”It's unusual - he doesn't usually eat here, huh...?”
”Maybe he's too busy to eat out, so it's more practical to just come here,” Susan said.
”I told Finland that this is her lucky day,” Ruth said, ”She is the new employee, and I told her that for people at her level, the chances to see Mr. Schneider was very slim... But now, only on the first day of work, she has the opportunity to see him... ”
Gosh... was it that important for them to see the boss? Finland thought exasperatedly. Finland could not only see him every day - she also slept with him every night, ate breakfast with him every morning, and kissed him whenever she wanted to...
Finland raised her face and glanced at Caspar, who seemed to be eating quietly while chatting with Ben. She then idly typed a message on her cellphone.
[Your employees here are telling me that you're very handsome and many women want to be your girlfriend. They also told me interesting rumors, that you keep changing girlfriends.]
From the corner of her eye, Finland saw Caspar's reaction when he read her text. He was drinking water when he read her text, and quickly spurted it out. Finland tried hard to hold back her laughter by drinking the orange juice in her glass.
[I haven't been with any woman since I met you in Singapore.] Came a reply from Caspar. [Do you want me to announce to everyone that you are my wife, so the gossip stops?]
[Gosh... don't. Please don't do that. I was just kidding...] Finland hurriedly replied [No offense, Honey. I'm just impressed to see that there are so many women in this office who admire you.]
[OK. But don't be jealous of these women and don't respond to the gossip that is circulating. You know you're the only woman I love.] Caspar seemed to think for a moment, then sent the next message . [If you do that again, I will announce to everyone that you are my wife.]
Finland glanced over at Caspar and their views clashed. Both of them smiled and continued eating calmly.
[I have two more meetings after lunch. I feel very tired, but satisfied at the same time because I was able to learn so much.] Finland said finally.
[Oh... do you want your work reduced?] Caspar asked worriedly.
[Ah, no need. I like working.]
[Alright.] Caspar seemed to think for a moment, before sending a final text, [I'll be in the lounge after 4 o'clock. You can 'do your meeting report' there.]
