Chapter 225 - Secret rendezvous (2/2)

”Pssshh... why this reaction? I'm not the jealous type... How can I turn into someone I'm not?” Finland asked, pursing her lips. ”Later, when I turn into a jealous wife, you definitely won't like it.”

Caspar finally relented. In his heart he did not mind if Finland were to get a little angry when she saw him surrounded and admired by many women. He would be fine if she were to act a little irrational because she was jealous. In fact, he would secretly feel happy when that happened.

But it looked like that was never going to happen.

”Okay... you may continue typing your report. I want to take a power nap here,” Caspar said, changing the subject. He laid his body beside Finland and covered his face with the hat. Finland just smiled seeing him like that. She rubbed Caspar's hair for a moment and then continued her work.

The two spent a whole hour together in the cabana and both felt very happy. When office hours were almost over, Finland quickly kissed Caspar's forehead and excused herself.

”I have to go back to my workplace, okay. See you at home.”

Caspar took Finland's hand when the girl was about to leave and protested, ”Let's go home together. You go to the car first, and I will come after you. Ben is waiting in the basement parking.”

”Uhm... okay.”

Finland's first day of work at the Schneider Group headquarters went smoothly and with no problems at all. Caspar and Finland managed to go home together without anyone noticing. They immediately headed to St. Laurent Hotel to pick up Aleksis from Lauriel's place.

”Hey... you have arrived?” Lauriel asked as they both appeared at the door. ”I'm teaching Aleksis to play the Go game. We're almost done.”

Finland and Caspar looked at each other in surprise.

”Go game? Isn't that a very difficult board game even for adults?” Finland asked, confused.

Go was an abstract strategy board game for two players, in which the aim was to surround more territory than the opponent. The game was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago and was believed to be the oldest board game continuously played to the present day.

People played with a board and black and white stones. The game could last between 1-6 hours, and some professional games exceed 16 hours and could even be played in sessions that spread over two days. Therefore, Finland and Caspar couldn't believe Lauriel when he said that he was teaching Aleksis to play Go.

”Hmm... it's never too young to learn,” Lauriel said nonchalantly. ”I'm only teaching her the basics ... Aleksis likes it.”

”Oh, well... I assume that the game will still take some time.” Caspar asked. ”If so, let's just have dinner here.”

”Yeah, we need more time,” Lauriel said. He sat down again facing Aleksis, who was watching their Go board. ”Just order food from downstairs...”

Finland and Caspar relented. Besides, it would certainly be very interesting to see if their young daughter could learn something very difficult like Go. Caspar called the room service and asked for dinner.
