"Good morning, Miss Zhao."
A woman in her late thirties approach Yue Ling and the women as they stood in front of the entrance. She wore a simple light blue uniform with the words Harmony Destination Spa printed on the front.
"It is a great pleasure to have you all here."
She gestures a polite bow to the four women then gestures with her hand to the waiting area.
"There is wine and water in the waiting area."
Zhao Ya'Er smiles to the woman and locks her arm around Yue Ling's. Her smile widens until it reaches her eyes and she spoke.
"Yue-yue, shall we have a glass of wine while we wait?"
She asked a question, but before Yue Ling could even answer, she was already pulling the retired model away from her mother and aunt.
Left behind, Madam Lu and Madam Zhao looks at one another then back to Zhao Ya'Er and Yue Ling.
Neither were able to say a word as they were thinking the same thing. Usually it was them who is treated with politeness, but instead the worker only addressed Zhao Ya'Er.
They've been here plenty of times, but why does it feel like Zhao Ya'Er comes here more than them?
As they enter further inside the spa resort, Yue Ling was amazed by the interior design. It was coated in a simple white color with a few touches of bronze. Placed against the walls were colorful tulips that brings the place to life.
The female worker guides them to the waiting area and turns to look at them. A polite and respectful smile curls on her lips.
"Your personal spa attendants will be with you soon."
Zhao Ya'Er smiles back to the worker then turns to a waiter who was waiting at the side with a tray of wine. She gestures to him to pour her and Yue Ling a glass of red wine.
However, before they could even have their wine, their personal spa attendants dressed in white uniforms was already making their way towards them.
Due to Zhao Ya'Er having booked them all their own private rooms for a facial and body massage, they had to go their separate ways.
The three women hugged Yue Ling goodbye like they were not going to see each other for a long time before reluctantly leaving with their spa attendant.
"Good morning Miss Han, I am Zhou Jinglei. I will be your personal spa attendant during your stay here."
Staring dumbfoundedly as the three women leave, Yue Ling turns to look at the person who spoke. Unlike the other three women who were older, this one was a young woman in her early twenties.
Seeing her nervousness written all over her face, Yue Ling smiles to reassure her that she is friendly and there was nothing to be afraid of.
"I will have to trouble you then."
Zhou Jinglei was taken back in surprise and the nervous feeling inside her grew more. She knew exactly who Yue Ling was. However, this is her first time meeting the retired model in person.
She heard from the celebrities that come here mention Yue Ling is very nice person, but she (Yue Ling) held an aura that makes it difficult for anyone to approach her.
However, meeting the model now, she can see why many say Yue Ling is a nice person.
A smile curls on Zhou Jinglei's face and she gestures in a certain direction.
"Miss Han, this way please."
Yue Ling nods her head and follows her spa attendant. As they made their way up the elevator, she was led to a private room on the highest floor.
She was not a VIP member, and this was her first time coming to this spa resort. However, due to Zhao Ya'Er, Madam Lu and Madam Zhao being VIP members, she was receiving the same treatment as them.
As Yue Ling began to receive her facial and body massage, Lu Tian had just finished his first meeting.
He walked out of the conference room with a dark and grim expression. Glancing down at his watch, he frown and checks his phone.
His frown deepens and he strides towards the elevator leading to his office.
"Did my wife call?"
Following behind, Xu Long blinked his eyes in confusion. Was the lady boss supposed to call? If so, then she clearly didn't, because throughout the entire meeting his phone never rang.
"Um, Lady boss did not call. Would like me to get a hold of her?"
Lu Tian paused in his steps for a quick second before proceeding forward again. However, despite his now calm expression he was sighing inside.
"No."
Even if he is waiting for her call, he cannot blame her for forgetting about him. She is with the three women in his family and knowing how they are when they are together, they can cause quite a distraction.
As Lu Tian and Xu Long enter the elevator, the assistant sneaks a nervous glance at his boss. During the meeting, he had used the small breaks in between to find the best jeweler, but…
"Umm, boss. About the thing you asked me to do, there's a little problem."
Hearing his assistant's words, Lu Tian doesn't answer but gives him a side glance.
Xu Long quickly continues his words as he knows what the silent glance meant.
"I found the best jeweler in Imperial. However, this person is exceptionally closer to us than we think."
Listening to the report, Lu Tian turn his head to look at Xu Long. However, he arch one brow with an expression as if saying, 'Well, who is it?'
Met with his dark eyes that can pierce a person's soul, Xu Long felt all the hair on his body stand on ends. Times like this, he really wish he could be with Liu Shan and the others.
For some odd reason, when they are all together, they forget all about Lu Tian's dark side and can converse with him like normal. However, now that they are at work, everything is back to the way it used to be.
Lifting his hand, he wipes away the imaginary sweat on his forehead and leans to closer to his boss. It was only the both of them inside the elevator, but he still covers his mouth as if he were going to tell the deepest and darkest secret ever.
"Zhi Jian Hong."
Lu Tian arch both his eyebrows in surprise. He looks away from his assistant and ponder in thoughts.
Indeed this person is close to them. He knew that Uncle Zhi is a mad treasure hunter, but never did he think the middle-aged man to also be Imperial's best jeweler.
It was no wonder Xu Long said it was a problem. Although he is quite acquaintance with Uncle Zhi, the man is closer to his wife. So the chances of him asking would be a 50/50.
As he immerse in thoughts, the elevator bell chimes, and the door slides open.
He steps out and strides in the direction of his office.
Since Uncle Zhi is the best jeweler, he will take a chance and give the man a call. After all, he is planning to design a ring specifically for his wife. In which, there is no way the middle-aged man would turn him down.
