Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Inside the design room of De L’amour, everything was really in a horrible mess. Scraps of fabrics are thrown on the floor with sketch designs. Shoes are missing another pair and broken pieces of jewelries are scattered everywhere. However, unlike Ming Yue’s imagination, the people inside were utmost relaxed. Each person did not have an ounce of panic on their expressions.

”Oh, help us! The designs are all a mess!”

Ju Suo’s petite figure like a lolita stomps back and forth in the room while tossing scraps of fabrics onto the floor. Her expression smiling with happiness making her look like a flower girl at a wedding.

Laying on a long table, the twins, Gui Tian Lan and Gui Zongmin continuously tap on the table to make more chaotic sounds as they toss sketches on the floor.

”Hurry, we need to finish, or everything is ruin!”

”No! This design is not good! This one is just as bad! No! What do we do?”

Their words and tone of voice are full of panic and worry, but their expressions were as if they were enjoying their time at the beach on a sunny day.

On the other side of the room, Tang Zhonghui sat on an office chair and slides himself in every direction. He nears the wall and kicks his feet to slide backwards. In the process, he knocks a mannequin onto the floor. He clutch his chest with one hand and stretch out the other to the mannequin like a man who is pulled away from his lover.

”Noo—! I dropped the last piece of the design!!”

Unlike the four people causing a scene, Qi Li, Lian Ni Shang and Shan Sinan stayed near the windows of the room.

Qi Li calmly leaned against the window with his arms folded over his chest. Behind his glasses, his eyes remain closed and he mutes the noise in the room.

A few feet away from him, Lian Ni Shang sat on a stool. Her usual straight face stares dumbfoundedly at the four people making extremely loud noises. She looks at Qi Li and pout her lips. However, deciding not to ask him, she looks at the man sitting next to her.

”Shan Sinan, are we really going to let them continue like this? Isn’t it a little to.... extravagant?”

The always quiet Shan Sinan was just as dumbfounded as Lian Ni Shan. Hearing her questions, he furrow his brows in thoughts then shrug his shoulders with a sigh.

”Boss said to make a scene, so they’re only following orders.”

”…..”

Lian Ni Shang did not know whether to laugh or cry. She looks at the man for a long minute then back to the four people destroying the place. Thinking of something, she could only sigh aloud.

”I guess you’re right.”

Yue Ling had specifically ordered them to make it look like a mess. That way, the stupid secretary out there will think that everything inside is not going so well.

However, looking at the four people, she felt it rather strange. Like a bunch of monkeys at the zoo, they are actually enjoying themselves in the fun.

Qi Li who had not moved or said a word, slowly open his eyes. He unfolded his arms and straighten his posture in ease.

”She’s here.”

Just as he spoke his words, the door handle turns, and the door is push open. The commotion inside abruptly stops and no one moves.

Yue Ling walks inside the room with Liu Shan quickly following behind after her. When they saw the mess inside, both boss and assistant were at a loss for words.

Liu Shan slaps his palm on his forehead. He close his eyes to steady himself and sigh.

”Really? You four had to go and destroy the place?”

Twins, Gui Tian Lan and Gui Zhongmin quickly sat up and jumps down from the table. Both men lower their head, but their expressions looked like someone who has been wronged.

”It’s not completely destroyed….”

Tang Zhonghui looks at the pitiful twins. Knowing that Liu Shan will yell at him next, he does not stand up from the chair, but slowly slide himself to hide behind a rack full of clothes.

On the other hand, Ju Suo pout her lips in annoyance at Liu Shan. She leisurely toss the rest of the scraps of fabrics in her hand onto the floor.

”Assistant Liu, we were only doing what we were ordered to do.”

Hearing the petite woman’s words full of confidence, Liu Shan snorts a scoff at her. His palm on his forehead moves to hold his waist as his other hand lock on the tiny woman with his index finger pointing to her.

”Little woman, I can see that, but that didn’t mean for you four to sabotage the place.”

”It’s alright, Liu Shan.”

Before a fight was to break out between the assistant and tiny fashion forecaster, Yue Ling’s calm voice cuts in. She looks at the members of her design team then Liu Shan. Without saying another word, she lightly gesture with her head to the door.

Seeing this, no one moved, but all eight pairs of eyes glance in the direction their boss had pointed.

The door to the room was left opened and they can see the top of Ming Yue’s head hiding behind a pot of plant. They knew it was her because other than Yue Ling, Liu Shan and the design team coming in for work, Ming Yue was the only other person.

”Disgusting.”

Liu Shan mumbles quietly with his face scrunch in disgust. He walks to the door and without a care for the woman’s feelings, he slams the door shut.

Outside of the room, Ming Yue jumped at the loud sound of the door closing, but she was quickly beams with joy. When Yue Ling and Liu Shan arrived, she had secretly followed them. The moment the door opened, she was able to see the mess inside. She didn’t hesitate to snap a photo to send to Chen Limei.

Hearing the door slam shut, she could already guess that things weren’t looking so good inside. Straightening herself from hiding, she flicks her hair back with a face full of arrogance.

After today, none of those people can look down on her again.
