Chapter 689 - Alaric Is Upset (1/2)
”What's the matter, Sir?” Jan asked casually, with his hand in his pockets. He was already accustomed to his boss' behavior who often suddenly needed him, so he was always relaxed even when London asked him to do things in the last minute.
”Hmm ... L and I will have a romantic dinner at the Blue Sky Restaurant in St. Laurent tonight. This is a good opportunity to propose to her properly, don't you think? Do you still have the ring I asked for last time?” The man's eyes shone happily as he told Jan his plan.
In the past, when L gave the signal that she was willing to marry London, the man immediately contacted Jan to prepare the perfect proposal.
Jan bought a beautiful and ridiculously expensive ring. He also held an internal contest among their creative division staff to get the most romantic proposal scenario.
Of the various scenarios that came in, there was one that they found very interesting. London immediately ordered Jan to prepare the event should the opportunity arise at any time.
Like today!
Ha.
This time, his fourth proposal must succeed, thought London with a happy heart, L wouldn't reject him this time.
”But the ring is too expensive, Sir. Miss L will be suspicious.” Jan commented as he returned to London's room with a box contained a ring studded with a huge light blue diamond. ”Why don't you use an ordinary ring for the proposal. Later, after you get married and disclose your identity, you can give her the real ring?”
”Can't you manipulate the state lottery this month? I could claim that I get a lot of money from winning the lottery?” London asked casually.
”Uhm ... It's too over the top and too much of a coincidence. Plus, she would blame you for buying a lottery.” Jan shook his head. According to him, his boss has been spoiled all this time because all his wishes could be granted easily, so that sometimes he thought of such absurd things. ”Otherwise, you could say that you used up your entire salary to buy Miss L this ring. Maybe she would appreciate it more?”
London nodded. ”You're right. If I said I won the state lottery, L would beat me up for sure. She already said she doesn't like me gambling.”
”Miss L is very wise,” Jan said with a sigh of relief.
”Okay, then, prepare everything ... I will propose to L after dinner at St. Laurent later ...”
Jan nodded respectfully and said goodbye to take care of the proposal scenario approved by London. The proposal would be very romantic and fun ... He can't wait to see the outcome.
After Jan left, London decided to contact his brother-in-law and consult him about L's family murder case from years ago. Jan was right. If anyone knew about the underworld in Europe from a long time ago, that person would have been Alaric Rhionen and his assassins.
Even though he had retired from the underworld, but his connections were still far greater than London, who had never been in contact with criminals.
”How are the twins?” London asked enthusiastically as the Virconnect connection brought him to his sister's mansion in Singapore. He saw Alaric staring at him, smiling broadly with a tiny baby on his c.h.e.s.t, fast asleep.
