Chapter 607 - Unexpected Development (1/2)

After calling so many times without getting a response, London finally realized that he still couldn't understand L. Hadn't their relationship improved? Why this treatment? When they met two days ago, everything was friendly and fun. They had dinner together by the river in a loving atmosphere and even ended up kissing. L then allowed him to call her.

But now it seemed like they were back to zero, and everything was a mess. L clearly avoided him and did not want to talk to him. London did not know what his mistake was and why L was not willing to talk to him? He really wished she would explain why she was avoiding him.

If he were now in Germany, London would rush to L and ask her directly what had happened. But unfortunately, he was in Singapore. It was more than 10,000 kilometers away from Germany

He was almost tempted to return to Germany immediately, but his common sense reminded him not to do it. He had just arrived in Singapore and had not seen his sister for a long time. He loved Aleksis and really wanted to spend time with her and her family. It would be a waste if he went straight home without spending time with them.

Finally, with great difficulty, he restrained himself and did not contact L again while he was in Singapore. That's not at all easy.

He had to settle with receiving reports from his people that L was still healthy and not lacking in anything. He reminded himself that his original mission was to help the girl achieve her dream of becoming a famous singer. When he made that decision last month, he thought he was doing it because he felt sorry for L. He just wanted to support her career from afar. After L achieved success, London would slowly disappear from her life.

His plan shifted midway because he realized that he was harboring feelings for her, and she seemed to reciprocate. It would only make sense to go back to his original plan of helping L's career if she no longer responded to his feelings, right?

Then London should only support L's career without expecting something to happen between them. He should stop thinking that L will change and accept his love for who he was.

London did not know if he could handle being played like this by L if he continued to chase the girl. One day L could be rude to him; then, on another day, L can turn friendly and give him hope, even allowed him to kiss her; and two days later, she would just ignore him.

London really didn't like how L played with his feelings and today he was starting to get tired. Finally, he decided to stop pursuing L. It was a decision he made with a very heavy heart.

He was a wealthy and respectable man and could get any girls he wanted. He shouldn't let his heart be played by an ordinary woman like L.

Even if he wanted to help L because he felt guilty for what happened between them two months ago, he could just compensate her by helping her career.

With that in mind, London finally spoke to Alaric. He requested his brother-in-law to allow L to become one of Virconnect's ambassadors. London knew Alaric loved beauty and he sold L by showing Alaric how beautiful her voice was. He thought since Eilen Mikhailova was banished from Virconnect because of her despicable act, Virconnect could use a new ambassador to replace her.

Alaric just smiled thinly at London's request. He then nodded. ”I believe in you when you said her voice is beautiful. You should talk to Pavel so he can manage everything.”

”Ahh ... thank you very much,” London exclaimed in a thankful voice. ”I owe you one.”

Alaric just nodded. He observed his brother-in-law. He felt that he had found the answer to the London question last week when the man had just arrived in Singapore.

At that time, London asked whether his feelings for L were pure love or only guilt for having slept with her under aphrodisiac influence.

In Alaric's opinion, although London was not yet fully aware of his own feelings, the young man was truly in love with L. This was not just guilt. He could see how London really did everything to make L happy. He even asked Alaric to allow L to became a Virconnect ambassador. Such an opportunity would surely make the girl became a superstar.

When London finally returned to Germany, he gave serious thought to determine whether he would contact L or not.

The girl had refused to answer his calls many times and London felt a little hurt. Finally, he decided to try to forget about L and in no way try to ask the slightest news from Jan.

The man tried to occupy himself with work and even visited his brother Terry in New York to spend time together. Whenever he was reminded of L, he would choose to drink wine alone or talk to his brothers to cheer himself up.
