Finland finally turned on her phone the next day at lunch time. She received so many messages containing apologies from Caspar who promised not to prank her to make her jealous. He realized that it must have been very difficult for Finland to fall in love and believe in men.
Considering Caspar's history of being with thousands of women all his life, he was very lucky that she had come to trust him. He was wrong for making Finland jealous.
That's when Caspar realized that between the two of them, he was the one who had the bigger love. If he made a mistake, no matter how little, Finland would not hesitate to leave him. This fact made him a little horrified.
"I promise I won't do silly things like yesterday anymore..." was the content of dozens of messages he sent to Finland, "Please don't be angry again ...."
Finland did not reply to the messages. She was still upset because he caused her to cry like that.
Ms. Fang saw that Finland was very productive today. All her work was completed well and in full concentration even though her face frowned all day. She could only guess what was happening.
"Finland, your work is very good. I'm glad you're on our team," Ms. Fang said just before lunch time.
She patted Finland's shoulder gently and smiled sweetly before going out for lunch.
Finland was stunned. She really liked her job. After everyone started to know her better and no longer listened to Meilin's negative comments, Finland felt truly accepted at work.
In her heart she was a little sad because in one year she would slowly disappear and join Caspar as his wife. Because Caspar lived and moved around the world, she wouldn't be able to continue working at her current office.
Finland used to think that she would be happy when she became rich; when she no longer needed to work hard to make ends meet. However, now she realized that happiness came from her inward satisfaction. She felt satisfied when doing her work and managed to do the things she liked. And if she was honest, she realized that she really liked working ....
Finland did not bring lunch today, so she stopped by the hawker center near her office for lunch.
[I bought you a souvenir from Seattle.] Suddenly she received a message from Jean. He sent a picture of a Starbucks Tumbler that read 'The Pike Place'.
[Whoaa... thank you, but you don't have to bother.] Finland replied.
[This is a special Starbucks tumbler, Finland. The Pike Place is the first Starbucks store in the world, so I think it's important to give you this souvenir from Seattle, the hometown of Starbucks.]
[OK. I'll take it in Paris in January.] Finland finally said.
Jean always thought of Finland when he travelled to unique places and never forgot to buy a souvenir for her.
[I already gave it to your boyfriend. I met him this afternoon.]
Boyfriend?
A few moments later Finland realized that Jean meant Caspar. Ugh... Finland still didn't want to talk to Caspar.
[Ok...] Finland just replied briefly.
[Oh, by the way, I met the woman who was with him yesterday too. Caspar said she was his personal bodyguard. Apparently our assumption was wrong.] Moments later Jean sent another message. [I am sorry. Maybe I unconsciously tried to find his flaws and when I saw him with a hot woman, I immediately told you about it, clouded by my own assumptions...]
[It's okay, Jean. That's not your fault.]
[Maybe I really hoped that he is a player and that he's not good enough for you... So I have a reason to take you away from him.]
Finland was silent for a long time after reading Jean's last message. She thought of the night when she and Jean drank a lot of cocktails during their bar hopping evening.
Finland finally had to be carried home because she was too drunk to walk, and she vaguely remembered Jean saying that Finland could be his wife in this life if Caspar didn't treat her well.
They never discussed it, and maybe Jean did not know that Finland was sober enough to remember what he said... She now knew that Jean had feelings for her. Even so, the man never did anything improper or tried to create a drift between her and Caspar. Instead, he helped Caspar understand Finland's condition and advised him to be patient to win her heart.
Jean's love for her was silent, because Finland did not love him as a lover. Her small heart was already filled with only one man, and that was Caspar. She loved Jean as a friend and as a brother.
[Caspar was indeed a player. But that was before he met me. Now he is a faithful man.] Finally, Finland replied to Jean's message. [He is kind to me. It's just that he's got an awful sense of humor.]
[As long as you're happy with him, I'm happy for you.]
Finland hoped that someday Jean would meet a wonderful woman who can appreciate just how valuable he was.
