The Alchemists

She opened her phone to look at the house again. It was really beautiful. For houses, she and Caspar shared similar taste. Finland fell in love with Rose Mansion before knowing that the house belonged to Caspar.

"The house is really nice. I like it," replied Finland honestly.

"Okay. Then I'll buy it. The next time I go to Seattle, you should come with me and we'll have a place to stay here. I'll take care of it soon." Caspar cleared his throat, "I don't mean to surprise you, this is how I live my life. What I love will definitely be mine. If there are anything you like, don't hesitate to tell me. Whatever it is, if I can give it to you, I will make sure you get it."

Finland did not know when she would be able to get used to Caspar's such a luxurious and easy lifestyle. At present, there was nothing she wanted in the world besides having the man's presence by her side, but of course, she couldn't ask for that now.

"I miss you..." Finland whispered softly. "Please, come home soon."

Caspar smiled briefly. He then whispered some loving words that made Finland's face flush red, then she smiled. Finland felt better when she returned to the office and continued with her work.

When Finland arrived back at the Continental Hotel penthouse, she got a WhatsApp message from Jean. It seemed like he just arrived back at his hotel.

Gosh, it must be almost 4am in the morning in Seattle, she thought.

[I met Caspar in Seattle. Is that possible?] Asked Jean in his message.

[Uhm... He is in Seattle right now. Where did you meet him?] Finland asked curiously.

[He was in the hotel lobby with a beautiful woman. I secretly took a photo.]

Ouch... Finland's stomach immediately started to churn. Caspar didn't say anything about meeting a woman in Seattle...

Who was she?

She received a photo of Caspar who was sitting alone with a short-haired woman. She wore a very sexy leather outfit. The woman's beautiful face had a very serious expression. Finland immediately felt sick... Her chest was pounding with anger...

She had never been this jealous to another human being before. Since Caspar proposed to her, she had fallen in love with the man, and in her mind, Finland only wanted to be with Caspar and spend the rest of her life with him. And now seeing him with that sexy woman made her feel very jealous. She was not even this jealous of Katia.

[I'm sorry I secretly took their photo and informed you about this. I don't want to see my best friend being played.]

Finland thought about Ben's words… that Caspar had many women...

Was this woman one of them?

[What do you think I should do, Jean?] Asked Finland confused, [I don't want to be perceived as a jealous girlfriend, but I also want to know whether they have an affair or not.]

[Hmm... you can ask him about whomever he is meeting in Seattle. If he mentions any women, you can just ask in more detail. Ask him what hotel he is staying in, and tell him that I saw him in the lobby. If he lied about the name of his hotel, chances are he also lied about other things.]

[Okay, I'll ask him tomorrow. It's already 4am the morning now. Why aren't you sleeping yet?]

[Ahahaha... I met some old friends and we went clubbing until morning. I am just about to sleep. Good night, F.]

[Good night, Jean. Take care of your health, it's cold in there.]

[Thanks. You too.]

Finland looked at the photo sent by Jean and her chest felt even more in pain. The girl who was with Caspar looked so beautiful and sexy... Was she one of Caspar's many women? Was this girl currently sleeping with Caspar?

She could not eat thinking about it, and let the dinner prepared by the Continental Hotel's kitchen go cold.

Until 11pm she still could not calm her mind and close her eyes.

Who was that girl? What was her relationship with Caspar? What were they doing now?

All the bad thoughts stirred in her head and Finland couldn't contain her emotions anymore. Tears streamed down her face, first slowly, and then she burst into tears. Ughhh... falling in love was not always beautiful and pleasant. Falling in love also involved feelings of longing when parting and feeling jealous when you see the person you love with other people you don't know who might have a special relationship with them...

Finland didn't like the feelings she was having now, but she couldn't help it... She didn't like this feeling of longing for Caspar and jealousy to that sexy woman...

This was an unpleasant feeling that had no cure.

[Finland, have you gone to bed?] A little past 11pm there was an incoming message from Caspar. It must be 8am in the morning in Seattle, meaning he just woke up.

[Not yet sleeping, I'm waiting for you to wake up.] Finland replied hurriedly. [Which hotel are you staying at?]

[I haven't told you, huh? I am staying at the W.]

[Oh, Jean is also staying at the W. Didn't you guys meet?]

[I saw him come out of the hotel with a group of people. Why?]

[Oh... Jean said he saw you with a woman.] Finland scolded herself for bombarding Caspar with all these questions. She should have acted more elegantly, but she really couldn't stand it anymore. [That woman looked very hot.]

For a long time there was no reply from Caspar. Finland's feelings turned into a big mess.

Was Caspar feeling guilty?

Why didn't he immediately deny that there was a special relationship between him and that sexy woman??

Finland couldn't wait anymore and immediately pressed the call button.

RING...

RING...

After 10 rings, finally Finland's call was picked up at the other end.

"Hello?" There was a voice of an angry woman on the other end receiving her call. "Do you know what time is it? It is still very early, dammit! Why are you doing this?"

Finland was so shocked that she accidentally dropped her phone.

Why did the woman pick up Caspar's phone? Why was she in Caspar's hotel room this early? Did they sleep together last night?!

Finland's head immediately felt dizzy.
