The Alchemists

The boss was taking a baby to office????

Even though the staff was all so curious about the baby, unfortunately, they couldn't see more closely. London used his private elevator, so they couldn't steal glances.

However, the news about London Schneider coming to the office with a baby soon spread throughout the building like a wildfire, so that when the elevator door opened on the 50th floor, many employees were prepared to tilt their heads and steal a glance at the baby he was carrying.

"Eh...?" Jan, who had just come out of his office and was about to go down to the lobby, widen his eyes at the sight of London as he walked with elegant steps to his spacious office at the end of the corridor. "I didn't know you brought Little Miss to office."

"I want to teach Lily about business from a young age so that she will grow into a successful businesswoman ..." answered London carelessly. He did not notice the ears of the people working on the 50th floor perked up as they were trying to listen to his every word.

Gosh ...? Little Miss? Is this Mr. Schneider's daughter? They all whispered to each other.

And her name is Miss Lily?

When did Mr. Schneider get married? Who is the baby's mother ???

His words didn't only attract the attention of curious people, also some female staff who felt heartbroken when they found out that their handsome boss was now married and already had a baby.

Jan just chuckled at London's words. He approached Lily and saw that the baby was fast asleep.

"Did you bring b.r.e.a.s.tmilk and feeding equipment, Sir?" Jan asked London.

His boss nodded and signaled Marc and Dave to bring the baby bag into his room.

"But I forgot to bring the bottle warmer. Can you please buy one and put it in my room?" he asked.

Jan knew this was not a question, but an order.

It's funny how this boss of his asked him things as if Jan could reply with the word 'no'. Of course he could only answer with 'yes'.

"Yes, I can. I'll ask Kim to buy it," Jan said, nodding. He turned to his secretary, who was typing on her computer, in front of his office. The woman was in her late thirties and wore black-rimmed spectacle, looking very serious. She immediately nodded and opened the marketplace.

"Do you want to cancel the meeting with our investment division this afternoon?" Jan asked before continuing his walk to the lobby.

"Of course not. It's business as usual. We will keep all the meetings and appointments today." London replied. He continued walking and entered his room while Jan nodded in his place, trying to make sense of a meeting with directors and a baby in the same room.

After the big boss disappeared behind the door, the 50th floor immediately went to a commotion as the staff all talked about what they had just witnessed. Many people immediately approached Kim, Jan's secretary who must have known what was happening, but the stiff-looking woman just shook her head and focused on her work.

"Gosh, Kim ... you can't do that. We want to know if there is still hope for us to catch Mr. London Schneider's attention ..." persuaded a few girls around Kim with miserable faces.

Kim just shrugged her shoulders. "I'm not paid this high by the company so I could spread gossip about our boss."

That's her only answer. The staff who were surrounding her could only sigh in disappointment.

Meanwhile, in his room, London placed Lily's basket on the large sofa next to his desk carefully. He did not want Lily to wake up because she felt a sudden movement during her sleep.

After making sure everything was okay, London then went to focus his attention on his work. Jan had sent details about the medical conference and additional information about the Wendell family.

After he finished checking everything, London continued to study a number of reports from the investment division which they would discuss in today's meeting. The end of the year was fast approaching and they must prepare the forecast for next year's investment based on the performance of their investments in 2050.

When he was busy studying various reports, his eyes unintentionally glanced towards Lily's basket and found his daughter staring at him with her round eyes.

"Ahhh, you're awake!! Uhm ... do you want to see the report I'm reading?" he asked her. London then lifted his baby and placed her on his l.a.p in a very comfortable position and gave several sheets of blank paper for his baby to hold. "You can read this report. But don't eat it."

Lily was indeed the best child in the world, he thought. Without a fuss, the little baby played with the papers in her hand while London refocused on the report on his desk.

KNOCK

KNOCK

"Come in," London said without looking up.

Jan opened the door and entered with a large box containing a bottle sterilizer and milk warmer. He then placed the box on the table next to the refrigerator in the office lounge and took out the contents.

"By the way, I have created a profile on an online dating site for you," he said suddenly.

London and Lily both turned to face Jan in unison.

London then turned to his child with a frown.

"Did you understand what Jan was saying?" He pointed at Jan and looked at Lily questioningly. A moment later, he shook his head. "Ah ... how could you understand. You're still a baby. I would have gone crazy if you understood what Uncle Jan said ... hahaha ..."

"What did you just say, Boss?" Jan asked in surprise.

"Uhmm .. it's nothing. I heard you were saying something... What is it?" London answered hurriedly.

"Oh, that's right. So, I have created your profile on an online dating website. You can check it first and give me your approval before it goes live." Jan went to London's side and opened a website on his computer and entered a username and password.

London squinted his eyes and read the profile in question, while repeatedly clicked his tongue, "Hmm ... okay. Not bad. I approve."

Jan smiled when he heard that. Ahhh ... he can't wait to arrange some dates for his boss. London would see how there are so many other fish in the sea and stop chasing after a fish named L.
