"The house is haunted?" L rolled her eyes at Pammy's explanation. "Gosh ... this is 2050. Does anyone still believe in ghosts?"

Pammy coughs softly, "The owner is very old-fashioned and believes in ghosts ... But that is an advantage for us because they just want to quickly sell it. I happened to get information from an insider. If other people know this house is sold so cheaply, I'm sure they will flock to buy it."

L seemed to have trouble trusting Pammy's information, but she had fallen in love with the house and was eager to have it. So, her heart refused to listen to her logic. Besides ... how could Pammy lie to her? What for? This was not something you can joke about.

"Why don't we just go tomorrow and see what the house looks like," London suggested. He had remained silent as though he was not involved at all and knew nothing about the house. "Photographs are often deceiving, you know. Just go see it in person tomorrow. If you liked it, you could decide to buy it. Didn't you say you want to move to a new house immediately because this apartment is too simple?"

Pammy coughed at London's words and hurriedly drank the water in her glass.

She still couldn't get used to the fact that the young man sitting next to L was the owner of the Schneider Group himself. The guy must have been accustomed to the most luxurious things the world could offer. But for some reason, he seemed happy to just live in this simple apartment and now ate pizza casually with them, these ordinary people.

"What happened to you?" L asked in surprise. She patted Pammy's shoulder, trying to help her not to choke from drinking too fast while coughing.

"I'm fine," Pammy hurriedly shook her head and glanced toward London. She must not reveal this man's secret, so Pammy was very attentive to all her words, so she would not have a slip of the tongue.

Pammy had worked very hard and never had the opportunity to lead her own division. She will not waste this opportunity to advance her career.

***

The next day, London accompanied L to see the house Pammy showed her the previous night. L's manager was waiting for them at the location.

When London's modest car arrived in the Grunewald area, L was constantly in awe. She liked seeing the green and beautiful residential complex, wide roads, and so many beautiful mansions.

At the very end was the biggest and most beautiful mansion, belonging to the Schneider family. London was delighted to hear the sound of admiration from L's lips as he deliberately drove his car past the mansion.

When the car was running past the mansion, L's head still looked back, trying to see how the beautiful gate and the shady trees around the estate.

"Wow... if we lived in this complex, we would be neighbors with the Schneider family," L murmured in amazement.

"That's right," London nodded, trying to hide his smile behind a deadpan expression. "I heard that the Schneider family is very kind and humble."

"Really? I've never met them in person, but I've heard they are very reclusive. So, not much is known about them, and they rarely appear in public." L shrugged. She then remembered that in the music festival some time ago she had met Rune Schneider, who gave her flowers from his brother, London Schneider. "Oh, by the way.. when do you want to apply for a job with the Schneider Group? Please bring a thank you flower to Mr. Schneider too."

"Tomorrow morning," London answered with a smile. He was very happy because L would give him flowers. "But, you must write on the card yourself."

"Okay." L nodded. Her eyes were not directed at a minimalist white house decorated with ivies on one wall and surrounded by a tall gate. So many flower plants were visible from behind the gate.

"We've arrived ... this is the house ..." L murmured as if to herself.

They got out of the car and entered through the gate that opened automatically. Pammy was waiting for them in the living room with a staff member who worked in the house.

"Welcome, L. The owner is currently abroad and asked us to look around for ourselves and contact him when we make a decision," Pammy said.

L nodded. Her eyes could not lie. She had fallen in love with the house the first time she saw the picture. She happily followed Pammy and the staff around the house and checked the situation.

There were three large bedrooms, one sitting room, a dining room, a massive kitchen with nice sunlight because it had sliding glass doors from floor to ceiling. They could be opened to the side to provide an open area vibe and directly overlooking the flower garden.

There was also a study with two beautiful desks and single sofas. It was suitable for work and leisure at the same time. On the side, there was a terrace with comfortable rattan sofa and a medium-sized swimming pool, equipped with sun loungers. At the end of the swimming pool, there was a gazebo with a swing from the real rattan, which must be very expensive.

Everything was perfect!

"I like this place," L whispered to Pammy. "When can we buy it? I want to immediately renovate one of the rooms to become a nursery."

Pammy nodded, "Since the owner is in a hurry, we can get this house today. The sooner we pay, the cheaper it will be."

"Today? Ah ... how lucky! Please take care of the purchase and immediately find a contractor to renovate a little room next to the study, then contact the medical equipment supplier and consult with Doctor Muller to arrange what medical devices we need to take care of Lily here."

Pammy opened her notebook and wrote down all L's wishes. "Okay, L. I'll take care of everything soon. In a week, everything will be ready."

"Thank you, Pammy."

She turned to London, who was watching her attentively, then pulled the young man's hand to follow her toward the room she wanted to turn into the NICU room.

"I want to put Lily in the NICU room here. You can stay in the room next to this room. I'll take the room over there," she said, pointing to and fro.

London nodded. "Thank you."

"Tomorrow, the contractor will renovate a little part of Lily's room. Do you also want to renovate your part of the house? Maybe you want to change the design? Not too much, though, just a little. I want you to feel comfortable here, "L said again.

She remembered that London had always tried to make her feel as comfortable as possible when she lived in the man's modest apartment. So, she wanted to do the same.

London was stunned to hear L's words. He was deeply moved because L, though curt and sometimes temperamental, was quite understanding.

The two rooms in this house did look quite feminine, and he didn't really like having to stay in a room that looked more suitable for girls.

At first, London would not complain at all. However, L apparently realized that the room next to Lily's room was not suitable for an a.d.u.l.t man like London, so she offered to have it renovated a little.

Finally, London nodded with a faint smile. "I'm quite happy if the paint can be changed from pink to white or gray."

"All right. I'll tell Pammy."

After both of them agreed and felt satisfied with their new home, London brought L back to the hospital to visit Lily. They also needed to deliver the b.r.e.a.s.tmilk that she had pumped at home to store in the NICU refrigerator as a supply for their child.

"How lucky ..." L murmured as she thought back to the beautiful house she had just 'bought'.
