Unexpected Second Chance at Love

As the afternoon quickly came, the members of De L’amour’s design team were finally able to memorize the faces and names in the list Liu Shan sent. If it were normal people, this task would have taken days or even months, but for them, this was an easy task.

As under covers, familiarizing faces was part of their training.

Liu Shan stood up from his seat and walks toward the door. His task here is done and he needs to meet with Xu Long and Lin Hui to discuss some other things.

”Wait!”

From behind, Ju Suo’s childlike voice calls out to the man. She runs after him with her short legs and stretch her arm out. Phone in hand, she points to a certain person from the list with flush cheeks.

”Will he be there tonight too?”

”…”

Liu Shan was dumbfounded, but he glance down at the petite woman, then the photo on her phone. He pout his lip and ponder in thoughts before giving her an answer.

”Him? He should be there, unless Lu Tian sent him on a different mission.”

Ju Suo pout her lips when she heard his words. She sighs and lower her hand holding the phone. She really wants to meet him, but….

”I guess I’ll only know if I see him tonight…”

Looking at the sad little woman, Liu Shan smiles in pity. He lift his hand and pat her on the head.

”You never know, he might really be there.”

He did not wait for a response and turns to leave. He also did not look at the expression on the others.

Ju Suo lift her hand and looks at the photo of a man on her phone. She couldn’t help but sigh again at the thought of possibly meeting him.

*Swooosh—*

”Wow! So, this is who you admire?”

Suddenly, her phone was snatched from her hands by someone. She turn her head to the culprit with eyes glaring with daggers. In a flash, she snatches her phone back.

”Gui Tian Lan, you better behave or I’ll pierce you with your own needles.”

The culprit, Gui Tian Lan snorts at the tiny woman. He sits on top of the table and lazily wave his hand at her.

”My needles? Hah! In your—”

*Swoosh*

Before he could say the word ’dreams’, a silver line flashes at him, but he swiftly catches it in time. His hand raise and between his index and middle finger, he observes the weapon with narrow eyes.

He nods his head and smiles.

”Wow, for someone with short legs, you have the guts to attack me with my own ’Swift Needles’.”

Ju Suo continues to glare at the man. She held her phone like it was the most precious item to her, but when she heard his mocking words, her face redden.

”So, what if I have short legs? My short legs can destroy your family’s treasure!”

”….”

Gui Tian Lan did not expect the petite woman to use such words toward him. He quickly covers his family’s treasure and glares at her. Judging by her height and temper, if she wanted to, she would succeed in doing so.

Standing behind the table Gui Tian Lan was sitting, Lian Ni Shang was at a loss for words.

When the tailor, Gui Tian Lan snatched the phone, she was not being noisy, but subconsiously able to catch a glimpse of the photo. Upon seeing the person, she didn’t know how to think.

She looks at the petite woman who dresses similar to a Lolita and recalls the man in the photo.

Base on the information Liu Shan sent, this man is very tall and bulky. If you put Ju Suo who is 146 centimeters next to the man, she probably reach his waist only.

Wouldn’t that mean she will be crush by this man?

Thinking this, Lian Ni Shang laughs inside. How could she think such thing? Ju Suo is indeed a very small woman, but she’s probably the one who will crush the man.

Seeing the straight face woman lost in a daze, Ju Suo place both her hands on her hips.

”Ni Shang, I know what you’re thinking, so stop. He’s my ideal husband and I plan to make him fall for me at first glance.”

”…..”

Oblivious to the things happening inside the design room, Yue Ling walked out of the restroom. After leaving her subordinates, she felt nauseas and had to spend a little time in the lady’s room. However, just as the sensation finally left her, she had to see her secretary on the way to her office.

Ming Yue had her head down as she was in the middle of sending a message. She did not see Yue Ling approach her desk until she subconsciously looks up to see if anyone was coming.

”Ah! Miss Han!”

She gasp with eyes full of surprise and shoves her phone inside her pocket. Quickly standing up, she force a smile.

”Can I assist you with anything?”

Yue Ling looks at the woman without saying a word. She shook her head with a sigh and walks to her office. Ming Yue can be considered as a pretty woman, but her personality does not match her looks.

”Go home and rest. There’s nothing else to do for the day. I will see you at tonight’s event.”

Ming Yue smiles like an understanding secretary. However, the moment Yue Ling entered her office, she scoffs in disgust. She flicks her hair back and stood up.

For someone who is going to be humiliated tonight, she will allow Yue Ling to keep up the act of someone high and mighty.

She puts on her coat and reach for her bag. Since she is the secretary, she will need to look her best for tonight. After all, once this is over, she is going to be the new CEO of De L’amour.

Of course, Ming Yue would ever imagine that her easy life is all because Yue Ling has been patient with her. If not, she would have been a dead woman a long time ago.
