Unexpected Second Chance at Love

—-

For the rest of the remaining day, Yue Ling decided to send her employees home early. Her reason was to work on the dress by herself.

The time was; '6:37pm'.

It wasn't that she didn't trust her employees. As their boss, she wanted to give them a break for their hard work since they came to Imperial.

And since tomorrow was the weekend, why not let them go home early.

Walking out of her office, she went to the designing room on the tenth floor. Upon entering, the lights lit up the entire room.

Looking around the room, she smiled.

In the center of the room, a mannequin stood like an noble empress. Although it was barely worked on, she was still moved.

Earlier when she made the order to have the design started, she knew with her design team's capabilities, they could gather the materials in 2 hours time.

Walking up to a table with piles of design papers and fabrics, she picks up a piece of paper.

It was the finished design of the dress she plans to wear to her grandfather's birthday banquet.

She could have gone to the store and purchase a dress, but her passion for fashion too strong. She never liked to wear the same thing as other women. As a fashion designer, why should she? If she can design and make her own clothes, for every piece made, she wants to wear it and show it off.

The clothes she wear may be one of a kind and not sold in stores, but she was always proud of her creations. Even if others didn't know its value, she could careless.

It was her very own brand and the proof of her hard work.

Shutting everything out, her mind was now focus on her design. Once she starts working, who knows how long it will be until she comes out of her trance.

Shin had once told her to not forget about taking breaks, but what could she do? Fashion was her most prize possession and the proof of her passion.

When Lu Tian was finally able to leave his office, he was so excited. He couldn't wait to proceed with evil 'plan' to 'punish' his woman.

His last meeting ended at 8pm, later than usual, but he was full of energy. Once he gets back to Jade Condos, he knew his woman would already be home waiting for his return.

He might even get to eat her delicious cooking again!

Even though he was excited inside, he still maintained his aloof aura on the outside. He didn't want to show this side of him to anyone other than his wife.

Wife, how nice did that sound to him.

"Boss, your coat."

Xu Long hands Lu Tian's navy blue wool coat, and without stopping, Lu Tian quickly puts it on.

While waiting for the elevator, a woman stood next to him.

Lu Tian was eager to get home, so he didn't bother with the unknown woman. Once the elevator doors open, he walks in.

Inside, his mind and heart was thumping, he thought, 'Why is the elevator so slow today?'

He could hear Xu Long talking to another person, but he didn't care, he just wanted to go home. His wife was waiting for him and he wanted to see her.

The elevator finally reached the first floor and just when the doors slide open, Lu Tian reach out to help slide the doors open. He then squeeze himself out.

"....."

Xu Long sighed and shook his head at his boss, 'where did my almighty boss go? *sob*"

He takes a step forward, but he stops and turn back to the other person in the elevator.

It was pretty curly blonde hair woman. She wore a black v-neck long sleeve top, tucked inside her grey plaid skirt and red 5" pumps.

Men would find this woman beautiful, but to Xu Long, she was nothing but a disgusting vixen who only knows how to bring evil spirits.

"Miss Qian, I told you before, if you can't differentiate your priority between work and personal matters, you don't belong here at Lu Corps. As a warning, you should clear that head of yours before boss fires you."

Xu Long swung his head around with attitude and chase after his boss. He could feel the intense glare from behind, but he could careless about the woman.
