Chapter 713 - You Wont Win (2/2)
London finished his breakfast and left for the office after Marc picked him up in his car.

”I've made an offer of cooperation to the Swann family's hospital in London. They enthusiastically declared that they wanted to meet directly with our representatives. Berlin Metropole Hospital's reputation and the Schneider Group's name were enough to make them interested.” Jan submitted his report after lunch.
London nodded. ”We don't need to rush. You can invite them to come to the medical conference next month and get them acquainted to discuss this collaboration.”
”All right, Sir.” Jan took note of all of London's orders on his tablet. ”Would you like to have a reception after the conference? I mean, to invite Caroline Wendell...”
”Great idea.”
”I'll make the preparations then.” Jan smiled. He could imagine how disappointed Caroline Wendell and her father would be. They would think London Schneider was interested in Caroline, and in the end... found out he only did it to take revenge for L.
”Have you canceled all my meetings today?”
”Yes, Sir. By the way, why did you cancel all the work matters for this afternoon? Is there an important event?” Jan asked curiously.
London smiled and didn't answer. Jan could only guess that this had something to do with L. In the end, he didn't ask any more questions and left his boss to do a lot of things alone in his room. At exactly 3 pm, London immediately left the office. He didn't want to be late to pick up L.
”Marc, let's stop by the florist to buy flowers for L,” he said eagerly.
”Yes, Sir.”
Marc could see that his boss's mood was very happy. Along the way to Luxe Magazine's office, he hummed one of L's most famous songs. Marc remembered his master's orders, and when he saw a flower shop, he decided to stop by. London chose a beautiful bouquet of flowers and continued on to Luxe's office. Fifteen minutes later, they arrived.
”Wait for me in the parking lot. I'll only be a minute.” London came out carrying flowers and entered the Luxe Magazine building. Chloe, the receptionist who still recognized him as a part-time photographer several months ago, immediately stood up to greet him with a smile.
”Hey... good afternoon, Killian. Long time no see. Do you have an appointment with Nick?” he asked kindly.
”I want to pick up Miss L,” London said in a proud voice. He showed the flower in his hand. The receptionist looked confused, seeing his actions.
”Wait a minute... Are you also a fan of Miss L?” She then shook her head with an apologetic face. ”Ouch... sorry, Killian. You won't be able to win the competition.”
”Eh? Why won't I win?” London asked in confusion. ”What do you mean, Chloe?”
Chloe coughed, then leaned her face and whispered to London. ”Ssshhh... Miss L is being pursued by the Rainfall Band's lead singer. You won't be able to win against the vocalist of the most famous band in the world today. Forget it... just give up.”
Instantly, London's face turned red, and his c.h.e.s.t felt hot.
What? The Rainfall 's vocalist? Could it be that they deliberately asked L to appear together at the awards ceremony as an excuse... So that perverted man can get close to L?
London suddenly felt jealous.
