Finland felt uneasy the whole day. Never in her wildest fantasies did she expect to meet Meilin here. Imagining working together with the evil girl really made her shudder.

She still could not forget the days in high school when Meilin and her gang dragged her behind the school, tied her to a tree, beat her, and pulled her hair, only because the boy whom Meilin liked said that Finland was beautiful.

Until now the trauma was still imprinted in Finland's heart.

In the office, she avoided Meilin as much as possible and immersed herself in her computer. When people came out for lunch, she chose to stay in her cubicle and ate the lunch she brought from home.

[How was your first day of work?] Jean texted her at lunchtime. He either woke up very early in France or he hadn't slept.

Finland read Jean's Whatsapp text and smiled for the first time that day.

[Not good. When will you come back to Singapore?]

[Ugh, I have an impromptu show in London to replace my sick friend. It is an important show to celebrate the Valentino Fashion House's anniversary. I will stop by Singapore in 3 weeks. How was your date last Saturday?]

[Too good to be true. I'm afraid that he is a scammer.]

[What?! I'll call you. It's still early in the morning and I'm not busy yet.]

Five seconds later Finland's phone vibrated and she rushed out to pick it up. She did not want anyone to hear her conversation with Jean.

She found a quiet place in the park and, after making sure no one was around, she chatted with her best friend whom she only met a few times a year.

Finland told Jean everything; from her meeting with Caspar at the airport until their very fancy and private dinner.

”Seriously? Let me research who he is. What is his full name?” asked Jean.

”I don't know. He just said that he had a long family name but I should just call him Caspar. The nurse said he was a famous surgeon, but I couldn't find a surgeon named Caspar on the internet.” Finland frowned, ”Maybe he doesn't use his real name?”

”You said he did your medical check-up last week?”

”Yeah...”

”Then you can just see his name on your medical examination report. We can then investigate him together.”

”But I have sent the report to HR.”

”Oh. Can't you ask to see it?”

”I can't. It would be too suspicious. Maybe I can stop by the hospital again...” Finland suddenly remembered something. ”Oh! Try Googling the current owner of the Continental Hotel. Yesterday he told me that he wanted to buy the hotel.”

Jean paused when he heard that.

Finland also fell silent.

Then a minute later the two laughed out loud...
