"....."
Liu Shan's eyes widen in shock. Wu Jing? Proposal? Does that mean Beauty's CEO had already asked Yue Ling to be the model? Holy cow! Just how pissed off will Ning Mei be!!!
Yue Ling: "That's all. You can prepare the flights, then go on your lunch early."
Liu Shan: "Yes, Boss."
Yue Ling: "Oh and try not to scare the other workers too."
Liu Shan: "..."
Liu Shan was at a loss for words. Why did his boss have to make it seem like he always dressed like a beggar? If he wasn't an assistant, he would have become a stylist like Gui Zhongming! Then again, he couldn't blame his boss. Even he was scared when he saw himself.... That was also a reason why he didn't go to the meeting.
Glancing at his disheveled clothes and mismatched shoes, he sighs. He should really go change when he go to lunch.
Just as Liu Shan close the door, Yue Ling stop what she was doing. Leaning back, she rest her eyes, the day has barely started and she knows it was going to be very long.
However, exactly five seconds into her rest, her personal phone rang. With her eyes closed, she crease her brows.
*Ring ring*
She sighed and reach for her phone. Not looking to see who the caller was, she answers the call.
"Hello, this is Han Yue Ling."
["What's wrong ?"] a deep voice sounds from the other side.
Without thinking, she blurted, "I'm just tired."
["Tired? Should I pick you up for lunch then?"]
"..."
Lunch? Yue Ling's brows crease more. Why would this person call her and seemed to be worried about her? Not only that—- Shit!!
Her eyes shot open and she sits up, "T-Tian?"
["Mm."]
"Why are you calling?"
["....."]
"Hello? Tian?"
["Lunch."]
"...."
Yue Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why would he call her to tell her that he's hungry? But it is close to lunch time, so did he call to remind her to eat? How sweet....
She sighs a smile, "Tian, I'll eat lunch on time. Make sure you eat yours too."
["...."]
"....."
"Tian??" After a long silence, Yue Ling couldn't help but call for him. Why isn't he answering? Did the line cut off? She moves the phone from her ear and looks at the screen. 'Darling, Tian' was still on the screen. The crease between her brows deepens. She ponder in thought, then....
'Oh god!!! How could I have forgotten!!!'
"Haha. Tian, I was just kidding. How could I forget our lunch?" She force a laugh and looks at the wall clock in her office; 11:09am, "I'll come pick you up at 11:45am, Okay?"
Yue Ling spoke in one breath. She sighed inside and wipe the sweat that was not there on her forehead. If she had forgotten, she knows that later, the shameless man will definitely torture her!
However, Lu Tian did not answer her. She frown and calls his name again.
"Tian?"
After a shorter silence, a deep 'mm' sounds from the other line. She sighs in another relief. He didn't seem mad, so she's safe for now.
"Send me your work address. I'll see you in a bit then!"
She didn't wait for Lu Tian to answer and quickly hangs up. Just as the call ended, her phone beeps with a message right away. She looks at it and takes a deep long breath. Gathering all her things, puts on her trench coat and leaves.
"Boss! Boss, where are you going?"
Liu Shan calls out from his office when he saw his boss leave her office. His boss usually doesn't go anywhere outside of work.. even during lunch. So does she have her coat and bag?
Oh god! Is his boss meeting—-
"Lunch."
Yue Ling spoke quickly and increase her speed to the elevator. He already knows about her relationship with Lu Tian. Any slower and she knows Liu Shan will use this chance to make fun of her for making fun of him.
"...."
Liu Shan presses his lips tightly together. He tries to hold in his laugh. Seeing his boss act like a shy school girl, he is very happy for her. Like a proud father watching his little girl go off to college.
What neither Yue Ling and Liu Shan knows is that, a certain someone had watched the entire scene. Ming Yue sneered in jealousy at Liu Shan. It is only a matter of time until An Qing takes over De L'amou. When that happens, she will become the new CEO and the first person she'll get rid of is Liu Shan. Then Yue Ling will be her assistant!
Of course, Yue Ling wasn't oblivious to Ming Yue's thoughts, however, she didn't even care. Getting inside her car, she types in the address given. Following, her car leaves De L'amour's parking and drives off.
To her, the most important thing right now, is to make sure the King of Jealousy is not having a childish tantrum.
