Chapter 799 - The Negative News (1/2)
Inwardly, London was touched because L really brought Lily to her place of work. L really changed, he thought.
He became even more in love with her and kept scolding himself because his stupidity had caused their wedding to be delayed again. If only two weeks ago he had not canceled their wedding plans, they would have been officially married this weekend.
Now he had to wait a month to propose to L again so she would want to marry him. He hoped that it would really be his final and last proposal. He didn't think he could bear another rejection.
Ah ... and not only that, but he also must date at least those three ladies that Jan had found for him, to prove to L that he didn't want anyone else but her. Ugh ...
He opened one of the folders containing Sarah Bell's pictures and information. Sarah would be his date this afternoon. The girl was gorgeous, and London would lie if he said otherwise.
He saw many photos of Sarah taken from her journey around the world. There was a picture of her swimming with killer whales in the Pacific, venturing in the African wilderness, shopping in Shibuya-Tokyo, snowboarding in the Alps ...
This girl looked very impressive. London actually found it quite odd that such an attractive girl was still single. He couldn't find any information about Sarah's shortcomings in that folder. Did a perfect woman like this really exist?
Time seemed to move super slowly like a snail when we are waiting for something, and that's also how London felt that day. After lunch, he checked L's whereabouts with Dave. He did some work, got in touch with Dave again to check on L, and coordinated with Jan; check on L's news again to Dave, and had his afternoon tea ... and finally, came the time London had been waiting all day.
The blind date with Sarah Bell!
London could not wait to show L that his first date was not pleasant, and he only wanted to go back to her. At 5 pm, he returned to the penthouse to shower, change clothes, and get ready.
The Moon Restaurant was located in the building next to the St. Laurent Hotel, so he only needed to leave 15 minutes before the appointment. This was a romantic restaurant located in a historic water tower that had been revamped into a museum, restaurant, café, and a nightclub at the top of the tower.
Moon Restaurant was a unique restaurant that could rotate 360 degrees in 60 minutes. So, in one sitting of romantic dinner that usually lasted for two hours, guests could enjoy city view below for 360 degrees twice through its glass wall. The most interesting sight was the river that ran nearby where onlookers could see many sh.i.p.s pass, besides, of course, the beautiful buildings around the tower.
Jan deliberately arranged his boss's date to take place there. He did not want London to meet Sarah in the Blue Sky Restaurant in the St. Laurent Hotel Building because London had brought L there several times.
The staff had started to recognize L as the future Mrs. Schneider. The last time London proposed to L, he also did it there. Now it would undoubtedly create awkwardness among the staff if they saw their big boss bring another woman to the restaurant.
”Hmm ... well, it's about time,” London thought as he looked at the clock that showed it was already 5:45 pm. He was wearing the clothes Jan had prepared for this special occasion, not his usual attire. This time, he wore high-end branded clothing but not the limited edition, like what he was used to wearing.
The profile prepared by Jan mentioned that London worked as a senior photographer for a lifestyle magazine, so it would be easy for him to get good clothes, but not limited edition ones. He also took off his watch and wore a regular watch worth only a few thousand dollars.
Overall, he looked like a young executive who was well established, but not super-wealthy. With flowers in hand, he descended from the penthouse to the lobby and walked to the Moon Tower a few dozen meters from the St. Laurent Hotel building.
He arrived at Moon Restaurant five minutes before six. The restaurant staff who had received his reservation immediately ushered him to the table booked by Jan. Sparkling water and bread were immediately served on the table while he waited for Sarah's arrival.
Ah, he suddenly realized that he was too rushing that he had forgotten to ask Dave about L. For some reason, London's mind had been troubled all day, thinking about his situation with L. He really did not expect L would bring Lily to work, after yesterday she contacted the editor from Luxe magazine to admit that she already had a baby.
Uh, wait a minute ...
Yesterday, they didn't get to cancel her statement, right? After the incident with L's cellphone, they finally made up... and eventually slept together. They completely forgot about Masawe Richards.
Had Luxe published L's statement in their media? How did the people respond to it??
London completely forgot to check today's entertainment news about L. He was too restless, thinking about this damnable date.
