Chapter 599 - The First And Last Date (1/2)
He couldn't believe his mind wandered off that far to the future. This was only their third meeting. London didn't even know if really he liked the girl or not. He actually came here to confirm his feelings for her.
The pink table at the corner gave L a minus score in London's mind. Jeez... There was no way he would sacrifice his classic abode for a girl who would force him to put a table with such a ridiculous color in his home.
He then walked towards the kitchen and saw that her small kitchen looked like it was used a lot for cooking.
Hmm... Did this mean L can cook?
Wow... The negative score from the stupid table was compensated by L's ability to cook. The count now returned to neutral.
London then looked at the balcony and found that there were some well-preserved potted plants. He nodded in satisfaction. Women who could cook and care for plants made him happy. The score was now 1-2.
1 negative point for the pink table.
2 positive points for cooking and gardening.
The score had changed to positive.
Ha.
”Alright, I'm ready.” L finally came out of her bedroom, and London, who turned his head to look at her, immediately froze in his place.
L was wearing a lovely red knee-length dress. Her hair was tied to a simple ponytail, her face was almost without makeup, and her feet were adorned with red strappy sandals matching her dress, making her look very girly.
The score was now 1-12.
1 negative point for the pink table.
2 positive points for cooking and gardening.
10 positive points for such an enchanting appearance, plus, her lips finally showed a smile.
”You are... so beautiful,” London involuntarily uttered praise.
”Thank you,” L responded. She pulled London's hand out of her apartment and pressed the elevator button. ”So, where are you going to take me on this date?”
”Eh...?” London was surprised to hear L.'s question. ”What do you mean?”
L pursed her lips. ”Aren't you here because you wanted to ask me out on a date?”
”I...” London frowned. He couldn't understand where she was coming from. ”What makes you think I came to ask you out on a date?”
”Jeez...” L placed her hands on her waist, and her smile disappeared. Her voice turned cynical as she said, ”You came here looking like a million-dollar, even to the point of wearing a fake watch, to impress me. What else could you be aiming for if it wasn't to ask me out on a date?”
London glanced at his watch and immediately realized that, because he was in a hurry, he hadn't even had time to think about changing his appearance before coming to L's apartment. He was still wearing the expensive clothes he always wore to the office, with leather shoes and the world's most expensive watch on his wrist.
His clothing brand couldn't be seen, but the super expensive watch adorning his wrist would have exposed his secret if L hadn't thought he was wearing a fake watch.
He covered his watch with his right hand and slowly nodded, ”You're right. I do want to ask you out on a date.”
