Chapter 606 - What Did I Do Wrong?

Aleksis and Alaric were never shy with their public display of affection and people close to them could now already got used to it. Initially, when London and Rune saw their sister and her husband showed intimacy, they would just roll their eyes and rush out.

But now, London no longer felt embarrassed seeing the intimacy of his sister and brother-in-law. Now that he, himself, was in love, he could appreciate their closeness as a couple.

London realized that when a man fell in love, they could be really sweet towards the woman they love. Now, he could understand why Alaric could look at his wife with so much love, as she did to him.

His mind flew back to L and imagined that it was him who was sitting on the sofa and he spread his hands, signaling L to sit on his l.a.p.

And when L sat on his l.a.p, London would be able to touch her delicate skin, smell her fragrant hair, and feel her body that was soft like a marshmallow ...

Ugh .…

The man suddenly felt his body stiffen and became uncomfortable. Something was throbbing on his lower body, from just thinking about how L would sit on his l.a.p. He hurriedly excused himself from Alaric and Aleksis to rest in the guest room.

Once he was in the room, London immediately entered the bathroom and soaked his body in cold water to relieve his discomfort.

***

After he calmed down, London finally got ready to sleep. It was 11 p.m. in Singapore, which meant 5 p.m. in Germany. He then took his cellphone and decided to call L.

He really wanted to hear the girl's voice. The last time they met was two days ago and he had asked her permission to call her. So, he should be able to call now, right?

RING...

RING...

RING...

His c.h.e.s.t was pounding for some reason while waiting for L to pick up his phone call. He was thinking, if L was not busy and her mood was good, London would invite her to connect through Virconnect 4D and talk to her side by side. He couldn't wait to see the girl.

After the tenth ring, the call was still not picked up. London began to feel anxious.

Was L busy?

He then contacted Jan to find out her schedule.

"Jan, do you know what L is doing now?" he asked quickly, not even giving Jan time to say hello.

At the other end of the phone, Jan could only roll his eyes and cough a little. As a director at Schneider Group, he felt that his responsibility had far exceeded his job description.

On the one hand, he was actually the Director of HR division who was responsible for the fate of tens of thousands of employees in Europe and is highly respected. But on the other hand, he was in charge of taking a schedule of a mere aspiring singer.

London only trusted him with this task just because his boss did not want others to know he was in love with L. So, Jan was the one who had to take care of all his boss' personal affairs.

"Ahem ... wait a minute ..." Jan coughed and then checked his notes. "She has nothing to do at the moment. Ms. L should be resting at home now."

"Oh ..." London was puzzled. L had nothing scheduled today. It means that she should be able to pick up calls from London. "She didn't pick up my calls earlier."

"Maybe she couldn't pick up your call because she is in the toilet, or taking a shower?" Jan asked. "That happens, you know."

"Ah, you're right. I'll try to call her again in half an hour," London said. "Thank you."

He then put his phone on the bedside table and waited for up to 30 minutes. Then he called L.

RING...

RING...

RING...

Until the twelfth ring, L still didn't pick up London's phone calls.

Wait.... she can't possibly still in the toilet, right? London became more puzzled.

Or maybe she was having a stomachache or even diarrhea? He immediately became anxious. Hurriedly, London called Jan back.

"Jan, would you please send Marc or Dave to check on L's condition. L has been in the toilet for too long, she still hasn't picked up my calls," London said quickly. "If she is ill, tell them to take her directly to the hospital or get her a doctor."

"Wait... what?!?" Jan could not believe his own hearing. "Are you asking Dave or Marc to come to Miss L's apartment and check her toilet to find her and take her to the hospital just because she hasn't picked up your phone call?!"

Jan was really tempted to slam down his cellphone.

"I've called her many times, but she didn't pick up the phone. Didn't you say she was in the toilet?" asked London in surprise.

Jan cleared his throat several times and cursed inwardly. He remembered his boss being an intelligent young man with a really high IQ, but for some reason, since the past few weeks, it seemed like his intelligence level had gone down so dramatically ...

"Wait a minute, Sir. I'll make sure something first." Jan finally hung up and called L's number himself.

London who was waiting in Singapore became restless while he tried to wait for news from Jan. He was afraid that L got sick, or something bad happened to her, so she could not pick up his calls.

Jan was a very efficient assistant. Three minutes later he had called London again and explained what had happened.

"Sir, I just called Miss L and she was at home, reading a book. She is not ill or experiencing bad things. You may calm down."

"Oh, is that so? All right. Then I'll call her again," said London. He hung up on Jan.

Alright ... L was apparently fine. London could not wait to hear the girl's voice.

RING...

RING...

Twelve rings and then... nothing. L still didn't pick up phone calls from London.

Didn't Jan call L and the girl picked up? So, she must be okay ...

Then why didn't she pick up my calls?

Did she....?

Finally, London could only sigh. His c.h.e.s.t suddenly felt tight. Now he realized, that L intentionally did not want to take his calls. Even though two days ago she had given him permission to call, today she didn't want to talk to him.

What's the matter? What did I do wrong?

Why is it so difficult to understand this woman???
