Chapter 175 - I don't want to be disturbed.

"Sorry... but he is not here." The receptionist shook her head again, still smiling. "After all, he is very busy, and we don't have access to contact him."

"Please tell Mr. Stanis Van Der Ven or Mr. Heinrich Schneider... I'll wait... I'll kneel here until one of them will talk to me..." Finland bit her lip and tried to hold back tears. The tears that had dried for some reason fell down her cheeks nonstop. Both hotel staff looked confused seeing her cry.

"Madame... can we help you? Are you ill?" The on-duty manager approached Finland and tried to touch her shoulder, but he was pushed aside by Finland who shook her head.

"Sorry... I have no other choice than to do this..." she whispered quietly. She then kneeled in the center of the lobby, ignoring the stares of of people who were passing by in the hotel lobby.

"Yikes... Ma'am, please stand up... You are putting us in a difficult position. Other guests will think we have wronged you..." The on-duty manager seemed embarrassed. He tried to help Finland up, but the girl stubbornly remained kneeling on the floor.

Last year Finland had thought of this way to meet Caspar, but it was Sophia who came out and broke her heart, so she gave up and immediately returned to San Francisco.

After she learned that Sophia deceived her, Finland felt deep regret and wanted to see Caspar no matter what. Too bad Caspar never wanted to pick up her calls. Now she had no choice but to make a fuss at the Continental Hotel to attract his attention.

Wherever Caspar is, he would definitely be notified by his staff that Finland was openly looking for him in Singapore. This was her last resort to see Caspar ….

Caspar was busy with his own thoughts as he looked at the city lights from his window. Suddenly there was a knock on his door and Jadeith entered without waiting to be let in.

"Uncle, Stanis tried to contact you earlier but because you didn't pick up the phone, so he asked me to come here as soon as possible," Jadeith said hurriedly.

"Hmm... I don't want to be disturbed, I'm thinking..." Caspar said. His voice sounded very tired. "All the phones are muted. What's so important?"

"I didn't want to tell you, because I didn't want you to be sad, but Miss Finland and her family are here..." Jadeith said guiltily.

When he saw how devastated Caspar was when he learned that Finland and Lauriel were in Manaus, he no longer told Caspar the news of Finland's whereabouts. In his opinion, Caspar was having enough stress on his mind with the disappearance of Sophia and he did not want trouble Caspar even more by telling him that the girl he loved was nearby.

"Here?" Caspar frowned. "You mean at this hotel? Didn't I already give orders to management to reject Lauriel?"

"The suite they are staying at was booked by Jean. The management did not take orders to reject Jean Pierre Wang..." Jadeith looked uncomfortable, "But that's not the important thing Stanis wants you to know..."

"What is that?"

"Miss Finland is kneeling in the lobby and begging for Stanis or Uncle to talk to her... All the staff have tried to persuade her to stand up to no avail... It's been three hours, and many guests passing by have begun to wonder what was happening. They assumed that the hotel had wronged a guest. The management tried to call Uncle here, but you didn't pick up, so they called Stanis, and Stanis then contacted me..."

"Wh... what? Why is Finland doing that? What does she want?" Caspar was very surprised to hear the news from Jadeith, "Did something happen to Lauriel?"

"Miss Finland just wants to talk to Stanis or Uncle. She doesn't know that you are currently in Singapore... I don't know what happened to Lauriel."

Caspar remembered that Alexei's people met with Lauriel in the park. Did something happen to him that Finland was forced to contact Caspar for help? He thought of the possibilities that would made Finland feel like she had no choice but to contact him...

It must be an emergency, he thought. Whatever happened between them, Caspar didn't have the heart to let Finland face hardships alone if something did happen to Lauriel.

Without waiting for Jadeith, the man ran out of his penthouse with long steps and descended with the elevator to the lobby.
