Finland arrived at the office just as Anthony Wu entered the building. They took the elevator together to the 7th floor where the LTX Marketing Department was located.
"Good morning, Finland. I just got word that Noah was fired from Atlas Corp and we will sign a contract for this cooperation agreement with the Marketing Manager's Assisstant, Jonathan."
"Is that so?" Finland asked, pretending to be astonished. "What happened?"
"The rumor is that Noah was fired for sexual harassment..." Tony shrugged, "He did look a bit like a pervert. But I didn't expect him to be fired just because of his behavior."
"The important thing is that our cooperation contract continues," Finland said, shrugging. She did not want to talk about Noah for too long. "Excuse me, I have to make a report."
"OK." Tony walked toward his office as soon as he got out of the elevator and Finland entered the office containing her cubicle.
After lunch, Jonathan and William came to LTX to sign the contract. Tony greeted them personally and invited them to the meeting room to meet Ms. Fang, Tran, and Finland who were already waiting with the proposal and other documents.
When William and Jonathan saw Finland, the two bowed slightly, astonishing the other LTX staff. They didn't know what happened last night.
"Good afternoon, Miss," Jonathan's attitude looked very respectful to Finland, as was William's.
"Good afternoon. Please sit down," Finland remained friendly and professional, as if nothing had happened.
Tony and Ms. Fang looked at her in amazement. They did not know why the attitude of their two clients became rather strange, but they guessed that it had something to do with Noah's disappearance.
They took a quick moment to discuss the details of the contract before signing it. The whole process went without issues. Half an hour later the two guests left LTX.
Everyone in the Marketing Department was very happy and Tony offered to treat the whole department to dinner at De Lune Restaurant to celebrate the success, which made everyone more excited.
[The Marketing Director is treating us to dinner at De Lune after work.] Finland sent a message to Caspar to notify him that she was going to be late.
[So, you won't have dinner with me?]
Caspar replied to Finland's message, adding a few sad emoticons to convey his feelings.
[Sorry, this is to celebrate the success of getting the Atlas Corp.'s contract. You can have dinner alone, later when I get home, we can drink wine and eat snacks before going to bed.]
Caspar only replied. [OK.]
Finland did not forget to send a message to Jean who probably just landed in France.
[Good morning, Jean. Welcome back to Paris. We just signed a contract with Atlas Corp. Chances are you need to go to Seattle to shoot the ads in a few months. I'm very happy with this project.]
[Sounds amazing. I'm in the taxi heading home. Brrr... Paris is cold!]
Jean replied.
[What is the temperature there?] Finland asked.
[About 8 degrees Celsius. It's almost winter.]
[Wow... and here I am in Singapore where the temperature is 34 degrees Celsius. Your body must be shocked to the sudden change in temperature.]
[Yes, not to mention the considerable difference in time zone. Usually the body will feel very tired and must acclimate for several days.]
[Caspar just returned from Germany. He must experience temperature and time differences too. Would he experience the same fatigue?] asked Finland. She was suddenly worried as Caspar looked very tired this morning when she left him.
[Oh, usually when you switch from Europe that is cold to Asia that is warm, it doesn't take long to acclimate. The body can adjust quickly and it won't get too tired. The opposite is actually more difficult; switching from warm Asia to cold Europe. Our body needs more adjustments and one must be careful of the 'winter depression' too.]
[I see.]
[Yes. So, you can imagine what it feels like to travel to Europe. The clock turns back several hours, the temperature drops, you are prone to winter depression, and you have to leave your loved one in Asia. No wonder many people who come back here become depressed... ahahaha...] Jean wrote again.
That was when Finland realized that Jean might be feeling sad.
[Are you feeling sad right now? Do you have a winter depression? Are you all right?]
Strangely, Jean didn't reply.
Finland did not want to be pushy, but she became really worried about Jean. These were the times she became a little jealous of Caspar who had access to any information at the tip of his finger.
He could become omniscient about anything he wanted to know. If only she could have access to such information and find out how Jean was doing in Paris.
Finland really wanted to know whether Jean was fine or not.
[Call me if you need to talk.] She finally wrote him.
There was nothing else Finland could do for her best friend. Paris was too far from Singapore.
[I'm fine, don't worry. The taxi just reached my apartment, so I had to pay and enter my apartment. You will come here in January, right?] Jean's reply relieved Finland.
[Oh, I thought you were sad. Yes, I will go to Paris. I'm making my vacation plan and applying for leave.]
[Sounds good. Please keep me updated...]
[Definitely, Jean. Take care!]
[Take care, Finland.]
Finland was relieved to hear that Jean was fine. For a moment she was worried that Jean had winter depression.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
