Chapter 789 - What Are You Doing?!? (1/2)

”What do you really want, London? Will revealing my secret to the public really make you satisfied? If they find out about my relationship with you, other artists who hate me will eagerly spread rumors that I am the sugar baby to the Schneider Group boss ... They will know that you shot me to stardom and I am a nobody without your help. Everything I have now, my career, and my popularity are all gifted by you, not the result of my hard work ... Will that make you satisfied?” asked L with tears in her face. ”If that's what you want, fine ...”

With tears dripping down her cheeks, L took her cellphone and dialed a number.

”What are you doing?” asked London in surprise.

”Hello, good evening. Can I please talk to the Luxe's news editor? This is L.” L's voice sounded so calm when she was talking on the phone. ”I have something to say to the public.”

”Okay, Miss. Please, wait a minute.”

Ten seconds later, a cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

”Hello, Miss L, how are you? This is Masawe Richards. Congratulations on getting the Rookie of The Year Award Nomination. I can't wait to meet you for an exclusive interview about your last album.”

”Is this Masawe Richards?” L asked, confirming the name of the editor on the other end.

”That's right. The operator said earlier that you wanted to say something to the public. Do we get an exclusive?”

”Yes. I want to clarify the rumor that was circulating a few months ago ...”

”Which rumor is it, Miss? You are very famous, and there are quite a lot of rumors circulating about you,” Masawe's voice sounded amused.

”L ...” London was still stunned to see L really serious about what she said earlier, and she contacted a journalist from one of the biggest media. At first, he thought L was only bluffing. He knew how much she loved her career and her reputation.

”I would like to clarify the gossip that I was pregnant and giving birth at the Berlin Metropole Hospital.” L pursed her lips and held her tears so they wouldn't flow harder. Her voice still sounded calm on the phone. ”The gossip is true.”

”A ... what?!? Are you serious? Our conversation is being recorded right now and you already gave me the exclusive rights earlier. I just wanted to confirm what you just said ... So the gossip is true?”

Gosh!

London hurriedly turned L's phone off and slammed it to the floor.

”What are you doing?!?” He stared at L with a frustrated expression.

”You really want me to reveal my secret to the public ... That's what you want, isn't it ??” L dismissed London's hand who just slammed her cellphone to the floor. She then bent down and took the phone back from the floor. When L tried to dial Luxe Magazine's telephone number again, London took the cellphone from her hand.

”No need,” the man said curtly.

”Give me back my phone!” cried L. She tried to take her cellphone but London only needed to stand up straight and raised his hand as high as possible above his head. L was 25 cm shorter than him and she desperately tried to jump and grab her phone from the man's hand without success. ”You cheated! You used your height ...”
