Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 275 Greatly rewarded

In the busy area of Imperial, De L’amour’s dark structure stood its ground. Inside, all the workers were busying themselves in preparation for the fashion show.

Liu Shan stepped out of the elevator and when he saw how chaotic the scene was, he sighed. Lifting his hand he pinch the space between his brows and stretch his palm out.

"STOP! Everyone calm down! There’s no need to act like the world is coming to an end."

In that very moment, everyone paused in what they were doing. All heads turn in the direction of the assistant, yet, no one spoke a word.

Seeing this, Liu Shan sighed again and cross his arms over his chest.

"Look, we all have to trust our boss. I know that once the fashion show is over, you all are given two weeks of vacation, but still, no need to make such a scene."

The room was quiet until a girl worker pout her lip, "But... if all our work isn’t done, boss will...."

Liu Shan rolled his eyes at the girl. He put both his fists on his hips, "How long have you all been working for her? Shouldn’t you all know her by now? Yes, she may have her strictness at times, but does she ever go back on her words? No!"

He sighed for the third time and walks towards the door to exit De L’amour as he mumble.

"Sheesh, making a loud scene for nothing."

"....."

Everyone was left dumbfounded by Liu Shan’s words. How could they have forgotten how their boss is? Their boss is the only person in the world who truly cares about people like them. She knows that they have worked hard, so every year after the fashion show, she will give them vacation time to relax. Whether they finished their job or not, she will not mind and still allow them to time off.

However, it’s not that they’re creating a loud scene for nothing... Everyone feels the same way. They all want to get their tasks done. In the past years when someone didn’t finish, it was their boss who took her time to complete it.. Neither does she take the credit and even compliment that person of doing a good job...

Just as the door closed and Liu Shan’s figure was now outside, all the employees glance at each other. That one glance was enough for them to understand one another and soon, the loud commotion started again.

None of them wants their boss to finish their own work. As her employees, it is their job to get it done.

On the highest floor, inside her office, Yue Ling was oblivious to the commotion caused by her employees. The her at this moment was busy with something else.

Sitting behind her desk, she was holding a tablet as she looks down at the screen. It was a video sent from Lin Hui. The video was what he had recorded from the cameras he set up in Imperial Military Hospital.

The more she watched the video, the darker her expression became. Until the end, her eyes slowly close and she place the tablet face down on her desk.

*ring ring*

In that same moment, her personal phone rings. Yue Ling open her eyes not too slow and not too fast. She reach for her phone and swipe the screen unlock.

"Hello."

["Boss, it’s your call. I can take him right now."]

From the other line, Lin Hui’s faint voice can be heard. The reason why he knows the right time to call is because he is a hacker. When he sent the video to her, he made sure to set a timer at the end of the video. It will notify him when she is done watching it. That way, he can quickly delete all traces of it and only have one original, which is with him.

Yue Ling’s eyes darken as she stare into the air in front of her, "Keep a close eye on him. Do not let him out of your sight at all. If he does the same thing again, give him a good fright."

["Got it."]

Ending the quick call, Yue Ling set the phone down and stood from her seat. She walked over to the floor to ceiling window in her office and stare out to the busy street outside with people walking and cars driving pass.

"Doctor Xie.... you are really ask for death for your crimes."

She sighed and caress her stomach.

"Baby, do you think your daddy will give the Nuo family their justices?"

Thinking for something, she smiles faintly.

"Should mommy tell daddy?"

*ring ring*

Hearing the ringtone of her personal phone again, the space between Yue Ling’s brows crease into three lines. She turn to look at the phone on her desk and pout her lip.

*ring ring*

Why is Lin Hui calling again? Didn’t she already tell him what to do?

Thinking of it, she sigh and walks back to her desk. Reaching for the phone, she did not look at the screen and just answer the call.

"Lin Hui, why are you calling again?"

["Who is Lin Hui?"]

"..."

From the other line was a deep voice that Yue Ling was very familiar with. However, the tone of the voice at this moment was even colder than ice itself. She couldn’t help but slightly tremble in chill.

She quickly clears her throat, "uh, Tian, why are you calling?"

["Are you done with work?"]

Yue Ling glance at the time on her computer screen and seeing that it was close to 6:30pm, she pursed her bottom lip.

"I am, but —"

["I’m parked outside."]

"..."

Before she could even finish, Lu Tian had already cut her off. She pinch the space between her brows and she takes a deep breath.

"Alright, I’ll be down."

["Mm."]

With a quick hum, Lu Tian ended the call first making Yue Ling even more speechless. She looks at her phone screen and scoff a sarcastic laugh. Caressing her stomach again, she mumbles to her baby.

"Baby, I think your daddy is eating another jar of vinegar."

Grabbing her things, she prepares to leave her office. Taking a step out the door, she slowly close the door.

"Miss Han."

Hearing the voice that annoys her, Yue Ling did not answer right away. She closed her door and locked it, then she looks at the person.

"What is it, Secretary Ming?"

Ming Yue smiles at Yue Ling, "About the contract with TB Corps, I hope Miss Han can rethink about it. If you approve of it, I’m sure An Qing will greatly reward you for bringing partnership to the company."

Looking at her scheming secretary, Yue Ling sneer inside out of disgust for the woman and Chen Limei. She touch her chin and pretend to think about Ming Yue’s words.

"You’re right. TB Corps has a lot of shipping docks that will benefit us in the fashion industry."

Hearing this, Ming Yue’s eyes lit up. If she can get Yue Ling to agree and sign the contract with TB Corps, Chen Limei will greatly reward her. Not only that, even Ning Xingyu will buy her the promised house she always wanted.

She could already see everything fall into place. Yue Ling will become a laughing stock to the world and she will have nothing to do with it!

Yue Ling stare at the woman standing in front her and could already guess what was on Ming Yue’s mind. Without a care at all, she rolled her eyes.

"Secretary Ming, since you want so badly to form the contract with TB Corps, how about you go?"

She walks pass Ming Yue, but didn’t forget to finish her remaining words.

"I think you will be greatly rewarded."

Hearing these words, Ming Yue’s eyes shot open and loss her balance. She quickly held onto the wall for support and looks at Yue Ling. However, Yue Ling was already walking away towards the elevator.

Ming Yue clench her fist and her lip press tightly together. Dark glaring eyes sending daggers to Yue Ling as if she wanted real daggers to pierce the woman.

She had thought Yue Ling actually agreed, but....

Shit, how is she going to tell Ning Xingyu? What about her dream house?!

Ignoring the woman, Yue Ling stopped by the design room to say goodbye to her design team. She made sure to remind them to get some rest, because tomorrow is the big day.

As she makes her way to the lower level, she also told her employees the same thing. It was best to have her employees get a good rest inside and be energized for the morning.

Pushing the door open, she looks out ahead and sees Lu Tian. He leaned against his car with hands in his pockets. She couldn’t help but sigh at how devilishly good looking he is. Even just standing made his charm power up.

However, it wasn’t the way he looked that really made her sigh. It was his deep cold eyes that stare right into her, as if looking at her like x-rays.

She takes a deep breath to steady herself and calmly walks toward him. Now, she’ll have to explain who Lin Hui is or else the King of Jealousy will continue his childish acts.
