Chapter 806 - Meeting With Caroline Wendell (1/2)

Meanwhile, in the penthouse, London had dinner with Marc. He didn't want to eat alone, so he told Marc to accompany him. After dinner, he would meet John Wendell and pretended to discuss their project together, so that John shifted his target from Danny Swann to London Schneider.

He was eager to invite John Wendell directly to Berlin to give L a chance to avenge the death of her family. But, of course, he shouldn't seem too keen.

After finishing dinner, he then showered and changed clothes. At a quarter to eight, he had walked down from the penthouse to the Rockstar lounge on the ground floor to meet John Wendell.

”Later, when a guest named John Wendell came, please take him to my table,” he said to the lounge staff who immediately nodded with enthusiasm.

The man then sat at his table marked ”Reserved”, and the waiter readily poured him a drink. London then sat relaxed in his chair while sipping wine. The clock showed exactly 8 pm. John Wendell should have arrived at this hotel.

”Good evening. Are you Mr. London Schneider?”

Suddenly, a melodious voice came from his side, prompted London to raise his head. He could immediately recognize this new girl from some of the photos of Caroline Wendell that Jan had shown him.

Nevertheless, he continued to pretend he did not know who Caroline was and treated her indifferently.

”Who are you?” London asked in return.

”My name is Caroline. I would like to apologize on behalf of my father because he suddenly could not come. Just now, my mother called him. She was short of breath and needed to be taken to the hospital immediately.” Caroline looked sorry. ”But father did not want to break his promise to you, so he asked me to come to greet you.”

As I thought, London smirked. John Wendell would not miss the opportunity to offer his daughter to a wealthy and powerful man whom he thought could be a new target.

”Hmm ... okay then. Nice to meet you, Caroline.” London gave a signal for Caroline to sit beside him. ”What do you want to drink?”

”I will have what you have, Sir,” said Caroline, smiling sweetly. She sat gracefully next to London.

”Hmm ... no need to call me Sir,” said London in a voice that turned friendly. ”I think our age is not that much different. You may call me by my first name. My name is London, like the name of this city.”

”Ah ... I don't dare. You are such an important person, I'm just a nobody ...” Caroline replied with a shy smile.

Actually, inwardly, London wanted to roll his eyes so hard when he saw Caroline's pretend to look humble and meek, but he managed to hold back.

”Hmm ... You're too much. Just call me London. I insist,” said London again.

Caroline looked at the man with radiant eyes and finally nodded with a broad smile. ”Nice to meet you, London Schneider.”

She held out her hand, and London welcomed her. The two held hands for a long time before, finally, Caroline pulled her hand away with a blushing face.

Ahh ... as it turned out, it was this easy to make a woman flattered, thought London. He could see from Caroline's attitude that she was very flattered by London's attention and friendly attitude towards her. She was all smiles and blushing. The man did not realize that his good looks and family background really attracted many women so easily.
