Unexpected Second Chance at Love

———

Arriving at De L'amour, Yue Ling parked her car and makes her way inside. Entering the doors, she is greeted by her receptionist.

"Good afternoon, CEO Han."

Sophia stood from behind the desk and bow in greeting with a happy smile. She can never get enough of her beautiful boss. Not only does she have an amazing boss, her boss is also Asia's well known supermodel.

"Good afternoon, Sophia."

Yue Ling nod her head to the young woman. Turning away, she heads in the direction of the elevator.

Watching her boss about to get into the elevator, Sophia sits back down, but she suddenly remembers something. Quickly, she stood from her seat and stretch her head out.

"Ah, CEO Han! A package was delivered to you, I had the delivery man place it in your office."

Yue Ling furrow her brows and pout, "Who is it from?"

Hearing the question, Sophia tilt her head. She didn't ask who the sender was. Remembering something, her eyes lit up.

"It's from W.J."

"Mm. Thank you."

Yue Ling nod her head and enter the elevator. Pressing button for the highest floor, the elevator doors close.

W.J.

Her mind wonder into thoughts about the sender. Before she knew it, the elevator had stopped.

*ding*

The doors slide open and she exits the elevator. Glancing indifferently ahead, her eyes land on the women sitting behind her desk.

Ming Yue's fingers danced over the keyboard. From the corner of her eyes, she sees a figure walking towards her. Lifting her head, she froze before forcing a smile.

"CEO Han, why are you here?"

"It's my company. Myself being here has nothing to do with you."

Yue Ling answers with her usual tone, however there was a hint of coldness. Moving her eyes from her secretary she continues on her way to her office.

From behind, Ming Yue's lip curl downward as her eyes glare daggers to the tall and beautiful woman. She had to admit, Yue Ling is a woman of great looks and a perfect body, but that's all to the woman.

Scoffing inside, she mumble to herself, "Just you wait. Once this fashion show is over, De L'amour is history."

Turning her head to her computer, she continues on with her work. Although, if someone was to see her, she would look like she's working. Except, she is actually typing an email to An Qing.

———

Yue Ling closed the door to her office. The moment she took a step towards her desk, she sees a large thin package placed on one of the white couches.

Walking up to the package, she stops in front of it. Her hand touch the package as her fingers caress it. Reading the label, she smiles faintly.

*ring ring*

She frowns before taking her phone out from her bag and without looking at the caller ID, she answers the call.

"Han Yue Ling speaking."

From the other line came a man's chuckles, then his voice.

["Did you receive the package?"]

"I just saw it."

["It's my gift to you. I had chose the best one out of the film. I also sent one to your place.."]

"Mm. Thank you...." she looks at the name of the sender and smiles, "Wu Jing."

["You're welcome. It's the least I can do for your help."]

Yue Ling didn't answer but ends the call. She looks at the package then place her phone and bag down on the coffee table.

With no rush, she slowly unwraps the package from top to bottom. Until the entire item came to view, she takes a step back and stare at it.

It was a portrait from her photo shoot for Beauty's front cover. From the angle of the photo taken, it was one that was taken randomly.

In the picture, she had changed into a flowy white dress that revealed her flawless and fair back. Her back was facing the camera as she stood in front of the huge floor to ceiling windows. The rays of lights beaming through the windows made her look like an immortal.

If one did not know that the person in the portrait was her, they would have mistook it as an angel in an oil painting.

Stretching her hand out, she wanted to touch the it, but before she could, a voice interrupts her.

"Wow, that's a gorgeous photo."

Yue Ling retracted her hand and looked to the person. Seeing who it is, she looks back at the portrait sent by Wu Jing then turn to her desk.

"How are the designs coming along, Liu Shan?"

"It's going as we speak, however, we have a noisy rat trying to get the cheese."

Liu Shan sighed and he sits down on the empty couch. He leaned forward with both his elbows on his knees and stare at the beautiful photo of his boss.

Being Yue Ling's assistant for many years, he can never get enough of the woman's beauty. Not only is she perfect in person, even her photos are perfect.

From behind her desk, Yue Ling opens the two inch thick book and flip through the pages. Hearing Liu Shan's words, she smiles a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

"If the rat wants the cheese, why don't we give it to her."

Liu Shan quickly turn to look at his boss. His eyes widen with a glint of light in them.

"You mean...."

Yue Ling nod her head, "Mm. It's time we let them know who they've crossed the line with."
