Chapter 504 - Under The Aurora (1/2)
The arrival of the two ethereally handsome young men to Schneider Tower in downtown Manhattan attracted a lot of attention from the employees and guests who were there.
London, who had started working at the Schneider Group headquarters in Berlin, had expected the treatment he would receive to be as such. He recalled the first day he entered the office. At that time, many female employees were incessantly stealing glances at him.
Now he came together with his younger brother, Rune, who was much more attractive because of his beautiful blond hair hanging down to his shoulders and his pair of blue eyes that looked slightly narrow, which gave out a mysterious vibe.
He appeared indifferent but looked very fashionable with the most expensive outfit from the household's fashion houses. Rune was indeed rather flamboyant, a bit like his uncle, Aldebar. Even so, he still preferred natural looks, unlike Aldebar who liked wearing historical outfits from the Victorian or Edwardian era.
”Good day. Mr. Chan is waiting for us upstairs,” London said kindly to the receptionist in the lobby.
”Good day, Sir. May I have your name?” asked the receptionist politely.
London and Rune exchanged glances, then both shrugged. Their father had let them out and gave out their identities as the sons of the Schneider family. Therefore, London didn't hesitate to mention his name.
”I'm London Schneider. This is my brother, Rune Schneider.”
”Uhmm... How do you spell that?” asked the receptionist while typing on her computer.
”L-O-N-D-O-N and Schneider like the name of this building,” London answered patiently. ”And this is my brother, Rune, R-U-N-E. His last name is also Schneider.”
”Like this building?” the girl repeated his words
”Yes. This is my family's building.” London replied nonchalantly.
The receptionist and her colleague looked at each other and immediately turned pale. ”You... Are you really from the Schneider family?”
”Yes.. Please give us access to the President's office.”
”I... Well, right away, Sir.” The receptionist swiftly called Terry's assistant on the top floor and told him that there were two young people looking for the president.
”Please let them in. Master has been waiting for them.” The response from Terry's assistant' prompted the two receptionists to quickly escort London and Rune into the elevator and open the access for them to the top floor.
After the two young men disappeared behind the elevator door, the two receptionists could only chuckle in admiration.
”Gosh... Have you seen the sons of the company owners? They are very handsome!!”
”Yeah, they don't look like humans!”
Upon their arrival on the 50th floor, they were immediately guided to Terry's extremely spacious and luxurious office at the very end. The new president of Schneider Group immediately welcomed them at his door and brought them inside.
”Welcome!” Terry brought out a drink and three glasses.” The office hours will end soon, so it's okay to drink now.”
London and Rune nodded. Each received a glass from Terry and drank its contents.
”I heard they will be using the Virconnect technology to broadcast the show,” London started. ”Uncle Aldebar asked us to conduct research during the event so we can analyze some of the weaknesses of Virconnect.”
”Yes, I'm also interested in coming to the Ritz Gala because of the features of Virconnect,” Terry smiled, ”And of course, in order to receive the ”Top Ten Most Eligible Bachelors in the World” award.”
London and Rune shook their heads, ”Mom said it was just a ridiculous award.”
”Uh, it's not ridiculous ...” Terry protested. ”Mom only thinks it's ridiculous because even though no matter how successful Uncle Caspar was, he was never nominated.”
”That's not true,” London rebuked. ”Father has won this ridiculous award ten times since 2010. He never accepted it.”
