章節 692: The Proposal

"Now... I've done it right, right?" London asked her with a beaming face.

L looked at the ring in her ring finger then looked at London alternately.

"This... must be very expensive," she said, confused. "How much did you spend on it?"

"I just wanted to give you my best..." London said quietly. He suddenly felt uneasy. L's tone didn't seem as happy as he had hoped. "Why? You don't like it?"

"How much?" L asked again in an urgent tone.

"Uhm... it costed a month my salary..." London finally told. The diamond was worth a month's salary as the boss of Schneider Group, or one million euros, but he would let L think what he meant was his salary as an assistant to the HR manager, which was only a few thousand euros.

L shook her head, and her face seemed disappointed.

"I can't believe you still don't understand until now..." She took the ring from her finger and handed it back to London's hand.
