After Yue Ling left De L'amour, she stopped by a Japanese restaurant and purchased two bento boxes to go. She didn't feel like dining out for lunch. It wasn't that she was embarrass to be seen with Lu Tian, she rather it be only them. Plus, with she wasn't sure he'd like all the attention when fans notice her.
Arriving at Lu Corps, Yue Ling was mesmerized by the tall and luxurious black building. It reminds her of a painting and at the same time, the headquarters of an assassin organization in a movie.
Turning the steering wheel, she pulls up into the garage parking. Rolling down her window, she greets the security guard.
"Hello."
"Hi miss, how can I—-"
The security guard steps out of the gate booth and he was rendered speechless. His mouth opened into an 'O'. He could not believe his eyes at all! When assistant Xu informed him, he almost choked on his saliva. Not only that, he even told assistant Xu to stop joking. He's been working at Lu Corps for years and has not once thought he'd get to see his goddess.
He stare at the beautiful woman sitting in her car. He turned into a gold fish, lost for all words known to him.
"Sir?"
Yue Ling looked confusedly at the security guard. Did she come to the wrong place? She looks at her navigation, but seeing the words, 'arrived at your destination,' she looks back at the security guard.
Coming out of his daze, the security guard clears his throat and flushed, "Miss, can I see your id for confirmation?"
Yue Ling didn't find anything wrong. Checking id was for security precautions, so she hands the man her id.
Observing the id, the security guard grinned ear to ear reading the name. It wasn't his imagination and neither was assistant Xu joking! How lucky is he to be given an opportunity like this? Not only is he meeting the number one beauty, he's also holding her id!
"Is everything alright?"
Hearing the soft spoken voice that sounded so soothing to the ears, the man shakes his head. He quickly hands his goddess her id, "No, no. Nothing is wrong. You go ahead, lady boss…. ah Miss Han."
Yue Ling smiles and and drives her car inside. Watching her car from behind, the security guard was still in a daze. He sighs remembering how beautiful Yue Ling looked when she smiled.

Walking towards the entrance of Lu Corps, Yue Ling was still in awe. She envied Lu Tian for working in such a luxurious place. Even De L'amour didn't look this extravagant. However, she did not know that her boyfriend is actually the CEO here.
In one hand, she held a nicely a nicely wrapped furoshiki and her phone in the other hand. Checking the time, it was 11:35am.
Good, she wasn't late.
Stepping through the doors, she heads towards the receptionist desk. She wasn't one bit nervous, instead, she was very calm. Neither did she try to hide her face with a mask. To her, she rather meet people face to face, instead of hiding.
As she nears the receptionist desk, she was oblivious to all the stares and head turns from the male and female workers. Each person she walked passed or saw her from a distance would look her way.
It was like a painting come to life. She was very tall and slim, but she had a pure and peaceful aura. Her light curls bounce with each step she takes. One look is enough to make one fall in love.
It didn't take long before everyone sucks in a mouthful of air when they realized who this goddess was. No one dare to breath as they continue to look in admiration at the beauty.
To them, this woman was the real definition of true beauty.
Stopping in front of the receptionist desk, Yue Ling, who's expression was indifferent, finally smiles, "Hi, I'm here to meet Lu Tian."
"Hi, I'm Nnnn—-"
The receptionist girl looks up. Her met those bluish green eyes and her jaw dropped to the ground.
"…"
Yue Ling looks at the girl and she didn't know what to say. Was something on her face? Not thinking much, she lift her hand and touch her face. She frown when she didn't feel anything. Looking back at the girl, she frowns again.
Are the people working here like this? How come Sophia's way of greeting people seemed to be much better than this girl's…
The receptionist girl continue to stare unblinkingly at Yue Ling, then without thinking, she spoke out loud.
"Is this a dream finally come true….?"
"…"
Yue Ling part her lips to answer, but…
"Miss Han!!"
A voice calls out from the side. Everyone, including Yue Ling turns to looks at the owner. She smiles and nods her head, "Xu Long."
Xu Long walks up to Yue Ling and smiles happily, "Assistant Xu will do. Please follow me this way."
Of course, Xu Long couldn't mention that if his boss hears the lady boss call him by his name, his boss would eat a jar of vinegar again. And he can't allow that to happen.
"Sorry to trouble you then, Assistant Xu."
Yue Ling looks at the receptionist girl, she smiles then follows Xu Long towards the elevator. As the elevator doors closed, everyone who witnessed this were still speechless and in shock.
"…"
Finally, someone broke the long silence after the sound of their gulp echoed.
"Oh my god!!! That was Han Yue Ling!!"
"I never thought I get to see her in person! She's even more pretty compare to in tv and magazines!"
"Assistant Xu was in a rush earlier, could it be because Han Yue Ling was coming to Lu Corps?"
"Wait, but Lu Corps isn't involved in the entertainment industry… why would she be here?"
"…"
As someone asked the question, everyone couldn't help but think. It was true, Lu Corps wasn't involved in the entertainment industry, so why would supermodel, Han Yue Ling be here?
"Haaa—!! Can it be?! CEO Lu and Han Yue Ling Are together?!!"
"Oh god! How many women will be heartbroken?!"
"Hey! Us men are already heartbroken! Our goddess is in a relationship with our cold and aloof CEO! She's so delicate and innocent, how will she handle a wolf… *sob*"
"….."
As the workers continue their hot topic for the day, Yue Ling and Xu Long arrives at the highest floor in Lu Corps. Walking out of the elevator, Yue Ling ponder in thought. Lu Tian had said he works in business. He must be a very important figure at this company to be working on the highest floor and have his own assistant. Not thinking much, she follows after Xu Long.
Walking pass the employees at their cubicles, everyone held the same reaction as those on the first floor.
There was not a single person in Asia who hasn't heard of Han Yue Ling. Her face was in all the magazines published and she appeared in all the popular talkshows. It was said, she was so pretty that even the prettiest flower cowers in shame. And seeing the person now, everyone knows those words were true.
However…. seeing where the two figures were heading, everyone's jaw dropped more.
The only door going that way was their cold CEO's office! Why is assistant Xu taking the innocent fairy Han Yue Ling to the devil? Did he forget that their boss didn't like women going into his office?!!!
Xu Long ignores all the curious and worried stares. He stops in front of the shut black door and knocks on it.
"Come in."
Hearing Lu Tian's deep voice from inside, Yue Ling felt her heart jumped to the sky. She was fine earlier, but now… she was actually nervous… Her hand holding the furoshiki tightens. After Shin passed away, never in her life did she imagine herself to bring lunch to someone again….
Xu Long smiles cheerfully at his beautiful lady boss and opens the doors, "Miss Han, please enter."
