85: Jean's Advise

Jean's Advise

Now, Caspar bitterly realized that Finland was a very different person from Katia... Finland didn't have the sense of humor or understanding Katia had.1

Finland became so jealous and angry when Caspar just joked about being with a sexy woman called Famke; he didn't even date her! It was actually a very funny joke for Caspar, but apparently Finland couldn't take the joke and become furious.

He now realized that karma was punishing him because of his past behavior. He had fallen in love with a girl who couldn't even take his joke when he tried to make her jealous.

Finally, because Finland did not reply to his messages asking for forgiveness and refused to pick up his phone calls, Caspar turned to Jean who was, at the time, at Atlas headquarters to shoot photos.

His arrival at the head office attracted rumors among employees. That was the first time they saw their new boss. He came to the company with Sam Atlas who introduced him to all of them.

The girls there were fascinated and grateful because they could see two very handsome men in their office on the same day: Jean who was shooting the ads and Heinrich Schneider, the new owner of the company.

As usual, Jadeith announced that his boss didn't like being photographed and Famke confiscated all the cellphones that were secretly photographing Caspar. Complaints were slowly heard everywhere.

"Where's Jean?" Caspar asked Sam Atlas. "I need to ask him something."

"Oh, do you know Jean?" Sam asked rather surprised.

His daughter made it a condition that Jean became Atlas's ambassador and deliberately included a clause in the contract when he sold his company to the Schneider Group.

"I know him a little," Caspar answered shortly.

Sam gave a signal to Jonathan who immediately guided them outside the office where a buggy was waiting. It took them to a very large hangar.

Caspar saw Jean sitting in the passenger seat. He looked like a very wealthy executive who was busy with his laptop. A middle-aged female photographer who looked eccentric moved back and forth to take his pictures.

Caspar didn't have much time, so he turned to Jadeith and Famke who quickly sent away everyone from the photo session and escorted them out of the hangar so that Caspar could talk to Jean in private.

"Hey... what's wrong?" Jean asked when he saw Caspar walking towards him. "Are you in Seattle too?"

Caspar nodded, "Atlas Corp is now mine, so I'm here to check."

Jean wasn't surprised to hear that. He knew Caspar could buy anything he wanted.

"I'm sure you are not here for the photo session," Jean said, smiling slightly. "What is wrong?"

Caspar twitched his forehead and asked Jean in a desperate voice, "How do you apologize to Finland?"

"What am I apologizing for?" Jean asked, not understanding.

"When you make a mistake or prank her just for fun, and she becomes angry with you, how do you apologize so she will forgive you...?" Caspar asked. He didn't actually want to ask for Jean's help, but he had no choice.

Jean chuckled when he heard Caspar's words, "I've never made her angry and I've never pranked her."

"You never had an argument?" Caspar asked in surprise.

"Never."

Caspar fell silent. It was hard for him to take that Jean and Finland never fought at all. The relationship between these two must be very good.

"What should I do then? I did something stupid and now Finland is very angry with me." Finally, Caspar relented and asked Jean for advice. Luckily the man was kind and willing to help.

"All girls love flowers. Show Finland that you sincerely regret your action and send her flowers. She should be able to understand and forgive you if you truly didn't mean harm and was only joking."

"Hmmm..." Caspar then nodded. "Okay, thank you."

When he turned around, Jean suddenly called him.

"Hey... I bought a souvenir from Seattle for Finland. Please give it to her."

Jean took a package from his bag which was placed on the chair and handed it to Caspar. The man accepted it and nodded, then walked away.
