Chapter 697 - He Commands You To Kiss Him (1/2)

”Miss L... would you like to start from the beginning with me? Allow me to introduce myself. My name is London Killian Schneider. Makela is my mother's family name. I sometimes use it when I'm in disguise. Nice to meet you.”

L was stunned to see the hand that was offered for her, but then hesitantly reached out her right hand and returned London's greetings.

”Hi... my name is Marianne De Maestri... but I haven't used that name in a long time. You can call me L,” the girl said in a low voice.

London shook L's hand and squeezed her fingers gently. His face was decorated with a big smile.

”Now, how about we both work together to prepare breakfast, and then we can sit and eat while talking so we can get to know each other. What do you think?” he asked in a cheerful tone.

L finally nodded slowly.

London released L's hand and handed the spatula to her. ”You can use the spatula. I'm willing to let you have it because it seems like you really like it.”

He laughed when he saw L accept the spatula while frowning. L said nothing, only going back to prepare the fried bacon and boiled eggs, while London prepared a bowl of salad and fruit slices for them.

”Instead of fighting over who has to do what, we better work together to do it, okay?” London voiced, happily pinching L's nose. She snorted. L was about to get angry because her nose was pinched like that, but she immediately refrained.

She remembered that the man in front of her was not an ordinary man. She realized she couldn't behave casually toward him now.

”Hey... why are you silent?” London immediately realized what was happening and he felt uneasy. It would be really awkward if L treated him with respect as a young master from a wealthy family, even though the girl was still behaving normally and didn't hesitate to nag him yesterday. Why the heck can't L act as usual?

They then sat opposite each other at the dining table facing the breakfast dishes they had prepared just now. L poured a cup of tea for both of them.

”L... don't be awkward to me. Please...” London was beginning to regret revealing his identity to L. If he had known how awkward L's attitude to him would be if she knew he was a Schneider... of course he would choose not to disclose his identity forever.

L gazed at him with a complicated look. She just bowed while finishing her breakfast, not answering. The atmosphere of this breakfast became awkward with L's silence.

”L... do you still consider yourself working for Brilliant Mind Media?” London asked in the end.

L looked up in surprise, but she then nodded. ”Yes, I do.”

”Then you still have to obey the orders from the owner of Brilliant Mind Media, right?” London asked again. ”Whatever he asks you to do, will you consider it a duty?”

L swallowed hard, seeming to get annoyed, but she restrained herself and nodded slowly. ”Yes.”

London rubbed his lips with a napkin when he finished his breakfast. His eyes were now staring straight at L with a very serious look.

”In that case, the owner of Brillant Mind Media now commands you to kiss him.”

L's face suddenly turned red. The resentment she had been holding up immediately spilled out and couldn't be held back anymore. She stood up and scolded London.
