Unexpected Second Chance at Love

——

Outside in the hallway of Jade Condos’ highest floor, Yue Ling accompanied her assistant towards the elevator.

Coming to a stop, she looks at Liu Shan, "What did you find?"

Liu Shan was still thinking about what just happened. His boss is actually in a relationship! Has she finally moved on?

Hearing her words, he quickly hands a black folder to Yue Ling, it was similar to the one with the draft design.

"Everything is inside."

Yue Ling took the folder and place it at her side.

"What did you find?"

She knew it was Ning Mei who drugged her drink that night, but she didn’t know why. With Liu Shan’s hacking skills, she could count on him to dig people’s deepest and darkest secrets. He has never failed.

"Boss, I hacked into Imperial Hotel’s cctv, there was evidence that Ning Mei drugged your wine. Someone had wiped the video clean, but I was able to retrieve it."

Yue Ling listened attentively.

"I traced her steps back and found she purchased the drug from an unknown dealer a month ago. Her reason is to ruin you from the modeling industry."

"Ruin me from the modeling industry?"

"Seems so."

Yue Ling arch a brow, she cross one arm over her chest and the other touch her chin.

"The modeling world has nothing to do with me now. So what is her motive?"

"Boss, that’s because you are THEE Han Yue Ling. You will always be at the top in the modeling world even if you retired. Ning Mei can never get to your level, so the only way is to ruin you."

Yue Ling pursed her lip listening to Liu Shan.

"Also, I hacked into CNJ Entertainment. It seems Ning Mei has been going around with big shots to get her name and face out."

Yue Ling: "Big shots?"

Liu Shan: "Yes, she’s been seeing Director Yuen, Robert Smith and other people. Not just them, she’s even a mistress of CNJ Entertainment’s COO Lin."

Yue Ling: "So, that’s how she got her latest role as Floral’s spokesperson. Director Yuen is an award winning film director and COO Lin is an important figure for CNJ Entertainment."

"That’s correct. It was COO Lin who pulled the strings for the rookie." He sneered the following words, "That nobody thinks she can do whatever she wants all because CEO Wang ignores her."

Yue Ling sighed at Liu Shan, "Whether CEO Wang knows or not, does not matter. The entertainment world is full of dark secrets and schemes. CEO Wang will turn a blind eye to anyone, as long as it doesn’t taint his company."

Hearing his boss, Liu Shan scoffed, "At least you’re not corrupted like them. Following you for such a long time now, I know you’re not like those disgusting people."

A faint smile curl on Yue Ling’s lip, "Liu Shan, I may not be corrupted in the entertainment industry, but I have dark secrets of my own. You should know that."

Liu Shan: "Boss, even if you have to live the rest of your life with those dark secrets, I was there to witness them. The oath I made to follow you will never falter."

Yue Ling’s heart softened. Liu Shan has been by her side for a long time and never once has he done anything to harm her. Even during her darkest days, he was one of the friends who stood by her till the end.

He is the exact image of loyalty.

Thinking till there, she press the elevator button for Liu Shan, "Follow Ning Mei. Find out who the dealer is and report back to me."

"Yes boss!"

The elevator door opens and Liu Shan takes a step forward, but he stops and turn to look and Yue Ling, "Um, Boss about—."

Remembering the murderous eyes of the man still inside his boss’s penthouse, Liu Shan swallow his remaining words..

Shit! How was he supposed to tell his boss? The man is evil? The devil? A bad man? Ahh!!!

"What is it?"

Liu Shan hesitated, but after thinking thoroughly, he decided not to say anything.

"N-nothing. I’ll stop by De L’amour to grab some paperwork, then pick up Inu."

Yue Ling shrug her shoulders and turned around, "Mm, remember to stop by the store and buy things for my baby."

Liu Shan steps into the elevator and watch Yue Ling’s figure walking back to her penthouse. He sobs with no tears.

’Boss, this subordinate is not betraying you. I’m your most loyal and right hand man but... that man you let inside your home is not someone easy to handle. I’m scared of you, but I’m more scare of that man! Please forgive me!!!’
