Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Time soon came as lunch arrived for the employees at Lu Corps. Everyone quickly set their work aside and left to fill their empty stomachs.

As each floor began to clear of any life, the tightly shut door to the conference room opens. Those who were attending the meeting soon walks out. Some still immerse in the discussion of the meeting while others decide on where to have their lunch.

Lu Tian was the second to last to leave the room as Xu Long follows behind him. He doesnʼt bother with his employees and head in the direction of the private elevator.

While the other elevators descended to the first floor, the one Lu Tian is in ascends to the highest floor.

*Ding

Quickly coming to a stop, the door slides open as the boss and assistant exit. Seeing that the entire floor is now empty, Lu Tian pause in his steps. He slightly turns his head to look at Xu Long and his voice sounds.

”One hour.”

When those two words enter Xu Longʼs ears, the assistantʼs eyes lit up with pure happiness. He had wanted to leave when everyone else was leaving, but as Lu Tianʼs assistant, he had to wait until he was dismissed.

He straightens his posture and raise his right hand to give a salute.

”I, Xu Long, will use this one-hour lunch like it is my last.”

Slightly afraid his boss will take back the long lunch break, he quickly spins around and runs straight for the elevator. Seeing that the door were closing, he didnʼt hesitate to leap forward and slide between the small gap just to get inside.

During the meeting Liu Shan had sent him a message with a photo. The man said his lady boss had prepared some delicious home cooked meals for them all and as the good brother Liu Shan is, he had saved him (Xu Long) some.

However, the deal is to not tell Lu Tian because they all know the aloof man is a vinegar eating machine.

Oblivious to what his subordinate is up to, Lu Tian continues towards his office. He reach for the door handle and push the door open to enter.

Just when he was about to take a step forward, his entire being froze at the unexpected scene in front of him. His eyes blinks a few times to make sure he was not imagining things.

However, no matter how many times he blinked, the image did not disappear. Instead, it only made his eyesight clearer than before.

He doesnʼt move but stares at the huge floor to ceiling window. It was the spot in his office that he would stand in front of when he needed to think. Only, at this moment, someone else was standing there.

A tall slender figure of a woman stood with her back to him. The scene right now was so breathtaking added with the hues of sunlight that gently touches her body.

Unknowing to him, he couldnʼt help but hold in his breath as he did not want any sound to disturb this moment. All he wants to do is engrave this scene into his heart as the woman is his wife.

Like two separate minds connected to one another, Yue Ling turns away from the window. Her bluish green eyes meets the dark pupils of the man she loves and a smile curls on her lips.

”Tian, youʼre done with your meeting?”

Hearing her soft and sweet voice that sounds like music to his ears, Lu Tian nods his head in response. He takes a step inside his office and closes the door behind.

”When did you arrive? If I knew you were coming, I would have ended the meeting early.”

Yue Ling smiles a laugh at his words and walks over to the two couches in the room. She sits down on one then lightly pat the cushion to the seat next to her in gesture for him to sit down too.

”I just got here. Come sit, I made lunch for you.”

Learning her reason for coming here, Lu Tianʼs heartbeat turned rapid. It was beating as if he had been running a marathon at this moment. However, able to keep a straight face, he walks over to the couch to sit down.

Never once did he move his eyes away from her as the sight of her caused many feelings of blissfulness to stir in his chest.

The many feelings he has never felt before until he met her.

Yue Ling was unaware of the manʼs inner feelings towards her. She breaks eye contact from him and looks down at the coffee table. Reaching for the lunch she had prepared for him, she takes each container out and opens the lids.

Due to her making a few stops before coming here, she had packed the food for him in stainless steel containers to keep each dish warm.

Once she separated the dishes on the table, she picks up the chopsticks and turn to look at Lu Tian. She held the chopsticks out to him and smiles.

”Eat it while itʼs still warm.”

Just when her eyes met his again, her cheeks gradually turns pink then red. She had finally come to realize that throughout the entire time she was setting up the food, he had been staring at her.

His expression may be full of his usual indifference, but his eyes as dark as the night said elsewise. They were full of loving and warmth directed only at her.

However, she couldnʼt help but feel that something was also bothering him.

Her head slightly tilt to the side and she furrows her brows at him.

”Is everything okay? Did something happen during the meeting?”

Her soft voice filled with worry for him broke Lu Tian from his daze. Itʼs true that something did happen, but it was not because of the meeting. He had been thinking about Chief Kimʼs people who are in Imperial.

However, it is a matter that involves him. He should not get her involved in this small matter too.

Thinking this, he calmly shook his head and takes the chopsticks from her hand.

”Itʼs nothing. I am happy that you came to see me at work.”
