I Married An Immortal (The Alchemists)

Chapter 43 - A Personal Bodyguard?

The next morning, they had breakfast together as usual. Caspar had to go abroad for a week and he took Ben with him.

"I have to attend business meetings in Germany. You'll be fine here. I'll call you every day. Ben will come with me, so one of my personal bodyguards will drive you to work."

"Eh?" Finland raised her eyebrows questioningly, "Your personal bodyguard will drive me? What for?"

"To give me peace of mind during my trip," Caspar answered while sipping his tea. "I don't want to lose focus on working because I am thinking about your safety in Singapore."

"Uhm... okay." Finland shrugged. "If that's what you want."

Finland was happy because she could save on bus fares because there is always someone driving her to and from work. Caspar refused to receive the rent for the pavilion after Finland knew that Rose Mansion was his property, and he even returned the money that Finland had paid for the previous two months.

She also had breakfast and dinner with Caspar in the main house. So with this configuration, Finland didn't have to spend any money at all.

"I'm leaving first." Finland finished her breakfast and prepared to leave. "What time are you going to the airport?"

"In a few hours," Caspar answered. "Hey, we won't be meeting for a whole week. Don't I deserve a goodbye kiss?"

Finland sighed softly. Her cheeks turned red as she looked around. Ms. Law and Katrin were not there, and neither was John. It was as if they knew they had to give these two some privacy.

Finland tiptoed to Caspar's side and kissed his cheek once.

"I need enough kisses for seven days. What you gave me isn't enough." cried Caspar impatiently. He pulled Finland on his lap and hugged the girl tightly, "Let me hug you for a while... I promised you I would not use my access to stalk you. You have no idea how hard it is for me to grant your request."

Finland recalled that she asked Caspar to act like a normal man and not stalk her with his extraordinary access to infinite information. Apparently, Caspar stood to his promise.

It was true, Finland felt uncomfortable when she knew that Caspar could know all her movements and whereabouts. She was relieved to know that Caspar kept his promise.

"I promise you that we will communicate intensively..." Finland said calmly. "I'll be fine here."

"Send photos often," Caspar said hoarsely.

Finland frowned in amazement. The man in front of her acted like they were going to be separated for years.

"Yeah... yeah..." Finland shook her head, "I promise. Please, stop being so mushy. Won't you feel embarrassed if Ben sees you like this?"

At that exact moment, Ben coughed softly at the door.

"Sorry, Master. Jadeith has come to pick Miss Finland up," he said in an almost whispering voice.

Apparently, Caspar was not at all embarrassed to be seen like this by Ben. He tightened his arms even more and patted Finland's hands gently.

"Don't tire yourself by working too much. Follow Jean's advice to learn how to have fun and enjoy life. Send me updates often. Germany is 7 hours behind Singapore, but you can contact me anytime. If there is an urgent matter and you cannot contact me, you can contact Stanis." He pulled out a black card from his pocket and handed it to Finland.

"Alright. Thank you. I go first."

Finland actually felt very touched. No one had ever shown her this much love and treated her this sweetly. Fearing that she wouldn't be able to hold back her tears and Caspar would see her feeling moved, Finland hurriedly broke away from Caspar's arms, kissed his lips gently, then ran away.

Caspar was amused by seeing the whole scene. He then could only shake his head and touch his lips, feeling the sweet scent she left behind. Hmm... at least today Finland took the initiative to kiss him.

This made him very happy.

Ben escorted Finland to Rose Mansion's front yard where a black Rolls Royce was waiting for her. A hipster man in his 30's with a man bun got out of the car and greeted her with a polite bow.

His face was very handsome. He looked like an action movie star. He wore a body-fitting blue shirt that showed a muscular body with hidden muscles. When he took off his sunglasses, Finland could see a pair of beautiful emerald green eyes.

"Who is this?" Finland asked in surprise.

"Good morning, Madam. I'm Jadeith, your bodyguard." The man bowed respectfully once more.

"Madam? I'm not yet married, and I am not that old, please just call me Miss..." Finland said quickly. "Are you my bodyguard? Uhm... for how long?"

"I was assigned to escort you while Master is abroad. I understand that I have to give you your personal space; I know you do not like to be followed. I will keep you safe discreetly. My job is to take you to and from work, and wherever you please." He took his cellphone out of his pocket and then called a number.

Riiingg ...

Finland's cellphone in her bag rang. Jadeith was calling her.

"That's my number. You can contact me at any time." He said, smiling.

Finland was amazed. Maybe this was what it felt like to live like Caspar... She suddenly had a personal bodyguard and was driven in a luxury car every day...

Not bad...

"Okay ... then you take me to work, but ..."

"But I have to drop Madam off in the park one block away from the Suntec Tower, I understand that..." Jadeith said quickly.

"Miss."

"Alright, Madam."

Finally, Finland gave up. She no longer corrected every time Jadeith called her Madam. She waved to Ben and then got into the car and left for work.

In the car, she quickly wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

Without batting an eye, Jadeith handed her a handkerchief.

"Th... Thank you..." Finland stammered.

"Master told me to prepare a handkerchief. In the cabinet on the left, you can also find drinks."

Finland was touched after hearing Jadeith's words. She looked at the handkerchief in her hand and saw that the letter 'C' was embroidered in the corner.

She couldn't hold back her tears running down her face. She was so moved by this simple gesture.
