Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Lu Corps; 2:37pm

"Boss, what do you plan to do with Miss Han’s things?"

Xu Long asked curiously, his eyes staring curiously at Yue Ling’s things that have been in the same spot since they brought it back from the airport.

"Nothing."

"....."

Xu Long squint his eyes at his boss who is typing on the keyboard. He suddenly couldn’t understand his boss anymore. This is the first time his aloof boss questions about a woman’s personal life and he even has her things as hostages!

Is his boss planning to ever return the items? This is a crime right?

"Have you started what I asked you?"

Lu Tian’s sudden deep voice interrupted Xu Long’s thoughts.

He set the suddenly appearing folder in his hands down on his boss’s desk, "Yes Boss! I’ve got all the information you asked for! Every detail, not one thing missing!"

Lu Tian who hadn’t stop typing suddenly stopped.

His eyes shift to the folder his assistant set down and his eyes narrowed, emitting beams of energy from his eyes like Cyclops from x-men.

He stretch his arm forward and grab the folded.

His movement was like all the other times he reach for work related folders and documents Xu Long puts on his desk.

Lu Tian open the folder and started flipping through the pages, his eyes scanning every page.

Xu Long stood nervously watching his boss. Beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He had gathered everything he could before the time his boss had given him.

But, he didn’t know if the information was good or bad.

It took Lu Tian exactly one minute to look through the information.

His lips curl into a faint smile as he closed the folder and set it down.

Quickly as his smile appear, it also disappears.

Xu Long’s jaw dropped and he stare at his boss speechlessly. His boss barely ever smiles and here he is, smiling!! Is the world really coming to an end?!!

He rub both his eyes and gaze at his boss.

It was quick and small but he was absolutely sure he saw his boss smile! Oh good Buddha, please spare this one. This one isn’t even married yet!

"You can leave."

Lu Tian’s cold voice once again interrupted Xu Long’s train of misery.

He gulped, "Yes, Boss!"

After saluting to general, he quickly turned to leave.

Who knows what his boss will do next! One moment he’s calm and in the next he can turn into Yama!

Coming out of the office, Xu Long thought about their little trip earlier. Actually, they didn’t go anywhere but drove around in his boss Audi r8.

But the most terrifying part was, he wasn’t the one driving. It was his boss!!

Only god knows what was going on his head when he held onto the door for his dear life.

Xu Long shook his head and body to get rid of the small trembling still inside of him.

Just as he pass Secretary Ye’s desk, his thoughts were disrupted by a strong perfume smell and a voice he loathed.

"Assistant Xu!"

Xu Long narrow his eyes with a glint of disgust on his face. He spoke coldly,

"What is it Miss Qian?"

Qian Li Li blushed embarrassingly, "Is... is CEO Lu in his office? I want to discuss with him about TB Corps’ contract.."

Xu Long sneered at the scheming vixen’s words. He didn’t care if she was hurt by his unruly manners, he didn’t care about her at all!

"Miss Qian, in regards to TB Corps’s contract, CEO Lu has already given it to me to revise. If you have any questions, you can just send an email to me."

His words may seem harsh to the ears, but he could careless. He had long seen through Qian Li Li’s ugly schemes.

He will never allow the filthy woman to seduce his pure and holy boss! Never!!

"...."

Qian Li Li stood dumbfounded at Xu Long’s words. She parted her lips to speak but in the end she couldn’t say anything.

She had hope to use the contract as an excuse to get closer to Lu Tian, but....

"Now, if you’ll excuse me, the boss is in a meeting. I was told to come back to retrieve some important files."

He turned to secretary Ye’s desk and quickly grabbed some papers, pretending they were ’important files’.

Secretary Ye: "...."

Not waiting for Qian Li Li, Xu Long bolted pass her as if she was some evil spirit.

He cried loudly in his heart,

’Boss!!! Please don’t come out of your office!! The vixen is here and she’s brought her evil spirits with her!!!’

As he speed walks toward the elevator, he sends his boss a message.

Because he had moved so fast and didn’t look at Qian Li Li again, he didn’t see the disoriented look on the vixen’s face.

Qian Li Li clench her fists and glare at Xu Long’s retreating figure.

She sneered inwardly, ’Just you wait! Once I marry Lu Tian, you’re the first person I’m firing!!!’

Secretary Ye held in her laugh, she could never get enough of Xu Long’s ways in handling things.

The man even lied about their boss being in a meeting! And those ’important files’ he grabbed were just blank white papers!!

She glance at Qian Li Li who was still standing there. She cleared her throat awkwardly, "Miss Qian, is there anything I can help you with?"

"No need."

Qian Li Li walked away angrily with the loud clacking of her heels.

Watching the evil vixen leave. Secretary Ye sneered, ’Hmmf, serves you right!’
