Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Yue Ling went from a heart-warming woman to a cold and arrogant woman. If this was one's first time meeting her, one would think of her as a self-centered brat from a prominent family.

Liu Shan stood next to the valet worker and kept a smile like the perfect assistant that he is. However, inside, he was rolling his eyes like there was no tomorrow.

He swore, Yue Ling is usually a bad actress, but when it comes to her career, she can change into any person she wanted to be.

Waiting until she had taken a step away from the car, he closes the door and turns to look at the valet worker.

"We have an appointment with President Fang."

The valet worker was still struck in a daze at the sight of the two people. Even as a man, when he saw Liu Shan, he thought the man was very pleasing to the eyes and had an outstanding sense of fashion.

However, when the back door opened and his eyes landed on the woman with silver-like hair, he was in more of a shock.

How can there exist a deity in Imperial and no media has ever mention anything about her?

"Ahem."

Seeing that the valet worker had been struck in a daze for long enough, Liu Shan clears his throat. He knows that the man is in awe at the sight of his stunning boss, but they are not here to stand as statues so that others can admire.

"We're from De L'amour. We have an appointment with President Fang."

The valet worker quickly came back to his senses. Now he understands why the man and woman looked so perfect. They were actually employees under De L'amour.

He once heard a group of women gossip that every employee in that fashion company have outstanding looks. Even if they were only workers, each person looked like they were a top model.

Now he can believe those women were not lying.

He blinks his eyes a few times, but the redness on his face did not hide the fact that he was embarrassed from being caught.

"Ah, my apologies. I will inform the front desk of your arrival."

Turning away from the two attractive guests, he reach for the company phone on the valet podium. He press a number and place the phone near his ear.

"Secretary Jiang? Yes, the representatives from De L'amour are here to meet President Fang."

Yue Ling and Liu Shan stood unmoving as they wait for further instructions of their arrival. However, from where they stood, the boss and assistant could hear a woman's voice speaking incoherently from the other line then worker.

"Yes. I will send them in."

The valet worker spoke politely and ends the call. He looks back at the two guests and smiles a smile that reach his eyes.

"Ah, sorry for making you wait. I have informed Secretary Jiang. She will show you to where President Fang is."

He tries to speak as politely as he could as he wasn't sure if Yue Ling and Liu Shan are angry at the fact that he had them wait. From his time working at this fabric company, he has only encounter wealthy guests with bad tempers. Some would even lash out at him for taking too long when it was only 10 seconds.

However, to his surprise, neither Yue Ling nor Liu Shan showed any signs of annoyance at him.

Yue Ling who held an intimidating aura lightly nods her head in understanding while Liu Shan hands his car keys to the man with a friendly smile.

"Thank you. Please do take care of my first baby. I will have Secretary Jiang notify you when we are leaving."

Liu Shan's smile that flashed across his face widens and reveals his pearl white teeth. The car keys in his grasp falls onto the valet worker's palm and he turns to look at his undercover boss. He stuck his arm at the elbow out to her and spoke in a polite and soft voice.

"Shall we then, Miss An Ling."

He called her by a different name because it was the name she uses when she is portraying a different person. However, this name is not a random name as it belongs to her deceased mother, Ji An Ling.

Yue Ling kept her heard towards the tall building. When she heard the familiar name, her entire being softens and she glance to the side at her assistant. A soft chuckle escapes her lips and held onto his arm.

"Lead the way, Assistant Liu."

As the boss and assistant make their way towards the front entrance of the tall building, the glass doors slide opens and a young woman with a slender figure step out.

She wore a silky black dress that flowed down to her knees. Covering her arms was a bright neon pink blazer and on her feet were a pair of white heels.

Her long brown hair curls at the ends as it bounce behind her back with each step she took. The makeup on her face was very light and fitted her facial features well. Shaded on her lips was a pink lipstick in the same color as her bold blazer.

She comes to a stop in front of the guests, but she did not once look at Yue Ling. Instead, her attention focused on Liu Shan as she stuck her hand out to him.

"Welcome to Fang Fabrics. I am Secretary Jiang. You must be our esteemed guest from De L'amour."

Liu Shan reacted quick and shakes her hand. He gives her a polite but bright smile.

"It is an honor to be welcome by such a beautiful woman such as you. I am De L'amour's assistant, Liu Shan."

Hearing his voice that can melt a woman's heart, Secretary Jiang's cheeks flush red. She has worked in the textile industry for six years now and has never encounter a good-looking guest like the man in front of her.

Now she can see that the rumor about De L'amour's employees is not some fabrication.

However, as the secretary of Fang Fabrics, she has to maintain her image.

She returns a polite smile at Liu Shan then finally shifts her attention to the woman with straight short hair.

The second her eyes landed on the woman, she inhales a mouthful of air.

She thought that she has seen enough beautiful women in the world but compare to this woman with silver-like hair, all the other women fail in comparison.

As she exhales, she quickly steadies herself back to normal.

"And… this is?"

"An Ling."

Yue Ling waited until Liu Shan retrieved his hand from the woman. She then shakes the woman's hand and smiles a smile that held a sense of intimidation.

"I am De L'amour's newly appointed secretary."

She could see that Secretary Jiang is a well-mannered woman and didnt need to act this coldly towards the woman. Also, Secretary Jiang's cheeks are visibly fluster, but she still knows how to differentiate pleasure from business. However, to keep her (Yue Ling) role as De L'amour's secretary from being exposed, she needed to act like a cold and stiff woman, who is not easy to read.

Secretary Jiang's hand was left alone in midair. She stares at Yue Ling then Liu Shan. From the schedule she received, she was sure that it was only De L'amour's assistant who would come as the representative. However, if the secretary is also here, that means they definitely cannot mess up this meeting.

She takes a deep breath to gather herself together and turn to face Fang Fabrics.

"President Fang is thrilled to have you here. He is waiting in the conference room."

Taking the lead, Secretary Jiang walks in front while Yue Ling and Liu Shan follow behind. However, due to her back turned to them, she did not see the boss and assistant having a nonverbal communication.

Liu Shan place both his hands in his pocket and glance sideways to Yue Ling with heavy eyes.

'Really? The newly appointed secretary? Only a blind person would fall for that.'

Yue Ling smiles mischievously at him and raise her left hand to flick her short hair back as part of her role.

'And you say my acting is bad.'

Seeing her do this, Liu Shan shakes his head and smiles a chuckle that could not be heard. He looks back at Secretary Jiang and decides to ignore his boss's new role.
