Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 289 someone is here



The afternoon sun rose high in the sky, as Yue Ling remain in her office.

After her meeting with Liu Shan and Qi Li, she had dismissed them to continue their mission. She is guilty of making them work when she promised to let them rest, but everything must be taken care of.

She let's out a long sigh and looks at her computer. However, there isn't much to do, since everything for the fashion show is completed. She sigh again and decides to start drafting ideas for her next designs.

"Boss."

As she continues to type her draft, Liu Shan enters her office again. He walks over to her desk and hesitate on what he wants to ask.

Seeing him act this way, she stops typing and looks up at him.

"What is it?"

Liu Shan looks at his boss and he press his lip tightly together. After a fast thinking to himself, he takes a deep breath and decides to ask her.

At first he never planned to question her decisions, but earlier, after Qi Li questioned him, he continue to think about the relationship between his boss and the ruthless business king. It didn't bother him one bit, but that was until.....

"I thought you sold L'amour de ma vie?"

Hearing his sudden question, Yue Ling was taken by surprise. She pause in answering right and looks down at her ring finger.

Before, whenever she looked at the ring, it only brought her pain and sad memories. However, now, only the memories of Lu Tian's proposal and his affections towards her appear in her head.

A faint smile appear on her face and she touch the diamond on the ring.

"Lu Tian was the buyer."

She spoke the truth and looks up at Liu Shan. Her eyes did not show any signs of lying.

"I do love him and I hope you will support me in my decision."

Looking at her then the ring, Liu Shan sigh a small smile and he shrug his shoulders.

"It's your decision, you should know by now that I'll support you in anything you do."

Yue Ling arch a brow at his words. She leans back on her chair and she thought of something.

"Even if I was to murder someone?"

Liu Shan shrug his shoulders again, but this time his hands too.

"Of course, I might even give you a hand."

He touch his chin and ponder in thought. His imagination starts to run crazy and he chuckles with an unexplainable look.

"If that happens, we can be the Dynamic Duo."

"..."

Yue Ling was dumbfounded at his response. She blink her eyes at Liu Shan and chuckle lightly.

She knows how Liu Shan is and if she really was to commit murder, she is sure he will be the one who offers to bury the body. From the first day she met him until now, she is thankful to have someone like him by her side.

He is one of the few people she knows that has the best sense of humor.

However, she looks down at the ring again and a trace of sadness can be seen in her eyes.

"Do you think everyone back in City Z will support me?"

Hearing her question, Liu Shan felt a sharp pain in his chest. He turn his head to look out the window and he heave a sigh.

"If they really care about you, they will support your decision."

He looks back at his boss and he smile to reassure her.

"I think it is what Shin would want. He would hope for you to find happiness and not drown yourself in the past forever."

Yue Ling gives him a heartfelt look. Only Liu Shan understands her. Even when things get difficult, he always shows his support to her.

She is really grateful to have him as an assistant and friend.

*knock knock*

In that moment, a knock comes from the door causing both Yue Ling and Liu Shan to end their conversation and look to the door.

The door is slowly push open and Ming Yue enters the room. She looks at Yue Ling then to Liu Shan.

"Miss Han, someone is here for you in the lobby."

Hearing this, Yue Ling arch a brow and Liu Shan furrow his brows. Their eyes glance quickly at one another before returning to Ming Yue's figure.

Yue Ling nod her head and puts on a smile.

"Thank you, I'll see to it."

Ming Yue gesture a small bow and walks out of room. However, a small sneer can be seen on her lip before it disappears without a trace.

Unfortunately, that sneer did not escape Liu Shan's hawk eyes and he sneers back at her with a snort.

The door close and he looks confusingly at Yue Ling.

"Did you have an appointment with someone? I'm your assistant and I don't even know your schedule? Why am I here then?"

Yue Ling ponder in thoughts to recall if she had an appointment with someone, but she couldn't recall any.

She looks at Liu Shan then stands up from her chair. Giving one shrug of the shoulder with a nonchalant expression, she walks out of her office.

"Let's go see who's visiting."

Liu Shan's eyes narrow at his boss's figure. He touch his chin and his lip curl upwards in a wide grin. He quickly walks out of the office and runs after Yue Ling.

Who is this person who appears like they own the place?

*ding*

The elevator arrives at the first floor. Yue Ling and Liu Shan steps out and walks in the direction of the lobby. From ahead, they can see a small crowd gathered with a commotion.

"Miss, you can't go over there. It is strictly for employees only."

In the crowd, Sophia's voice calls to stop the person. Yue Ling arch a brow and she tries to see who it is, but Sophia's figure is blocking the figure.

Walking next to Yue Ling, Liu Shan also arch a brow. He pout his lip and cross both his arms over his chest.

"Miss? Who is this person to be so bold to step foot in here uninvited?"

Ignoring his question, Yue Ling steps into the lobby and she looks over Sophia's shoulder to the person.

Seeing who it is, an unexplainable light flicker in her eyes, follow by a light smirk. She stands three feet away from Sophia and the person, but she does not say a word and allow the commotion to continue.

Accidently seeing this look on her face, Liu Shan's frown deepen and he tries to think who the person is. He looks at the person and no matter how much he tries, he cannot recall at all.

Annoyed, he throws Yue Ling a side glance with his eyes slightly glaring at her. His expression was as if saying, I thought I was your friend! How dare you keep people hidden from me!

"An acquaintance of yours I never knew about?"

Hearing the question, Yue Ling ponders in thought of what she should say. She lift her hand and touch her chin with her index finger.

"Acquaintance? I wouldn't put it that way..."

She lower her hand and looks at Liu Shan. She gives him a pleasant and soft smiles.

"More like someone who likes attention."

Looking at her smile, Liu Shan swore, if anyone saw that smile of hers, their nose would bleed, but to him... All he felt is his entire body shiver in chills. He knows that smile all too well.

However, when he heard her words, his eyes widen and he quickly looks at the person. His jaw drop to the floor as he turns into a fish out of water.

"Y-y-y-you m-m-mean---"
