Chapter 601 - Improvement (1/2)
”You really think I'm kind? And you also think I'm quite attractive? So, basically, the only thing lacking from me is wealth?”
”Correct.”
”What if I could become wealthy in one year, would you want to be my girlfriend?”
”Hm ... maybe. We'll see another year.” L shrugged nonchalantly.
”If so, will you wait for me for a year so that I can maximize my potential and become super-rich? If I don't manage to become as wealthy as you want, then you can leave me, and I won't complain at all,” London said with a smile. He felt very happy with the direction of their conversation.
If L was willing, London would have one year to think. He could reveal his identity or not, depending on their interactions for the next year. He needed to see first whether L was the right woman for him or not. If he felt that L was the right woman for him, then he would tell her the truth after one year.
If not, then London would disappear from L's life without ever revealing his identity as one of the wealthiest people on earth today.
Who knows, maybe during the next one year he could even actually change the girl's mind. All he needed was time.
”You want to be super-rich in one year?” L asked, frowning. ”You're very confident, huh?”
”All you have to do is say whether you will agree or not.”
”All right. Besides money, I also like confidence. I hope you really can become super-rich and powerful ... so you will have a better life. I can wait if it's only one year,” L finally replied.
London smiled wider. ”I will prove to you that in the next year I will become a super-rich man and we will be able to buy whatever we want here, not just cheap drinks.”
”Okay.”
”Cheers!” London clinked his glass to L's. They then sipped their drinks together.
”By the way, why are you so persistent in pursuing me?” L asked him. She looked at London attentively.
”Uhm ... because ...” London swallowed and tried to find the right words. ”Because I feel responsible for you. But I don't know how to show that responsibility on my part. You don't even want to give me a chance because I'm poor. So, the only way is to fulfill the first condition you set, which is to become super-rich. Then later, we can decide what we should do. ”
”Hmm ... thank you. I was not wrong. You really are a kind man ...” L took a deep breath. She then finished her drink and stood up. ”I don't blame you for what happened that night, we are both victims. But if I can be a motivation for you to have an ambition and improve your life, then I'm fine with that. I hate lazy people who don't want to make the effort. I hope you will succeed and get what you want. ”
”Where are you going?” asked London.
”Go home. I've listened to what you wanted to say. I already told you that I'll wait for a year. I will be swamped for the next year anyway. I need to prepare my new album and start my career at Brilliant Mind Media. I won't have time to date any men.”
London hurriedly rose to follow her. ”I'll take you home.”
”It's okay, I can go by myself. Besides, I have a dinner appointment with my producer at Medusa Restaurant. Goodbye.” L tiptoed and kissed London's cheeks then walked out of the restaurant.
