Chapter 945 - The Flowers In The Office (1/2)
Finland was driven by their family's chauffeur in an ordinary car and stopped in front of the Schneider Group headquarters building in downtown Berlin.
The morning air felt very fresh. After getting out of the car, she stood and breathed the fresh air until it filled her lungs.
In all the buildings owned by the Schneider Group, they always build a nice big garden around them so that their people could enjoy the fresh air that had become a precious thing in metropolitan cities that were mostly damaged by pollution.
She deliberately asked the driver to buy an ordinary car, because all the vehicles in their house were super expensive, limited-edition vehicles. Of course, it would be very odd if someone like her who worked as an ordinary employee in a company, was driven by a luxury car.
When she stepped into the building, Finland immediately was engulfed in nostalgia when she was still working at LTX International. The marketing company was the only company he had worked for. She was grateful to have gained a lot of experience from her time there.
After marrying Caspar, she only worked for a few months at the Schneider Group headquarters in New York. The experience was also very enjoyable because she was able to spend a lot of time with her husband, as well as learn new things at work.
Ahhh .. now, she could feel how being a career woman again. Her children were all grown up and had a life of their own. Now only she and Caspar were left at home. They had lived alone for a dozen years without their kids. Maybe they really need something to keep them busy.
”Good morning, how can I help you?” asked the receptionist when Finland stepped into the building lobby.
Finland nodded and smiled. ”I'm a new employee here. I am transferred from the office in New York. I was told to see the HR manager?”
The receptionist smiled sweetly and nodded. ”Wait a minute, I'll go over the appointment for Mrs. Garnett.”
She then opened her tablet and checked the schedule, then looked up at Finland. ”What's your name, Miss?”
”My name is Laura Makela,” said Finland. This time she used her birth mother's name as a pseudonym. She was worried that her unusual first name would attract too much attention.
”Ahh .. that's right. You have an appointment with the HR manager, Mrs. Garnett. My name is Lola,” the receptionist reached out her hand and introduced herself. Finland immediately greeted her with a smile.
”Laura Makela.”
”All right, please come with me. I'll take you to meet Mrs. Garnett.” The friendly receptionist then raised her hand and signaled to Finland to follow her.
When they walked across the lobby to the elevator, Finland just noticed that the entire lobby was filled with so many beautiful flowers. It almost felt as if she was walking in a garden or a flower shop.
”Uhm ... there are lots of flowers here,” commented Finland in a voice of admiration that could not be hidden. ”Is it always like this?”
Lola shook her head and smiled very broadly. Her eyes seemed filled with joy.
”Not always. Just today. I don't know what kind of event there is, but what is clear is that today there are a lot of flower deliveries coming to our office. I don't mind it at all. Not only it makes our office look very beautiful, the smell of flowers is also very fragrant ... Ahhh ... it feels like walking in a park, right? ”
Finland nodded in agreement. Ahhh ... in her heart, she laughed to herself, thinking that this must be her husband's doing. Caspar had started working in this office a week ago, and today Finland would join him in the same office.
They purposely didn't start work the same day so as not to attract attention. Finland suspected that her husband deliberately prepared thousands of flowers in the office today to welcome her back into the professional work.
She decided to text and thank him after she finished talking to the HR manager.
”Good morning, Mrs. Garnett. The transfer employee from New York has arrived,” said Lola after she knocked on a room door and entered with Finland.
