When her office hours ended, Finland immediately prepared herself to pick Caspar - or Heinrich Schneider - up at NUS for their dinner appointment. Unexpectedly, in front of her office, the black Maybach was already waiting for her and Caspar's driver respectfully welcomed her by opening the car door.

"Why did you come to pick me up? " Finland asked in surprise.

"Master said I have to take Miss home and to change clothes, then drive you to NUS to pick him up," replied Ben respectfully. He was Caspar's regular driver.

Wow...

Caspar must have thought they were going to an expensive and fancy restaurant.

Finland felt bad. Driving a car this fancy to the hawker center to eat chicken rice would definitely create a scene.

Technically Finland did not cheat because they were going to eat at a one-starred Michelin restaurant, but Liao Fan Chicken Rice is an exception in the culinary world. The price per serving was only 2 dollars, therefore the queue could be very long ...

"Ben, I don't need to change my clothes. We go directly to NUS."

Finally, Finland decided to stick to the original plan and have dinner at Liao Fan Chicken Rice. She was not willing to spend a large fraction of her bonus just to eat dinner at the more expensive Michelin restaurants. The important thing is that she kept her promise to Caspar.

Ben followed Finland's orders and took her directly to NUS.

[We are at the parking lot.]

[Class is almost finished. Wait for me in the car.]

Finland waited patiently in the car while chatting Jean via WhatsApp.

[I finally got the full name of our mysterious guy. His name is Heinrich Schneider. Boring though, not much information about him on Google]

Jean sent a screenshot of his search results to Finland 10 minutes later.

[I got many hits for Heinrich Schneider. Can you tell me which one he is on Google Images? There are too many different people in the picture.]

Finland examined the photos one by one and shook her head.

[None of them. All Heinrich Schneiders found on Google are not him. How is that possible? I thought we can find anyone on Google. If I type your name, for example, I can find a lot of information about you. See, I just typed Jean Pierre Wang, and I see lots of your pictures online; I can even see your show schedule last month.]

[The very rich and powerful people are able to block news about themselves on the internet. That's why you won't be able to find them on the Internet. If we really cannot find any information or photos about Caspar... it means that he is indeed a rich and powerful person. I think he is legit.]

Finland was stunned. She began to see Caspar differently.

The guy was so rich and powerful, he could even block news and photos of him on the internet. Finland didn't even know that such a thing was possible. She thought only the FBI or Interpol can do something like that...

Then, what did a person as important and powerful as he want from Finland? She was a complete nobody...

Before she could think further, the car door opened and Caspar entered. His hair and clothes were a bit wet because it was raining outside. Finland was not aware it had been raining for the past five minutes.

"Please pass me a towel from the small cabinet over there," Caspar asked Finland while pointing to the small shelf to Finland's right. She obeyed and handed him a white towel.
