Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 692 Forward to seeing you

Lunch arrived as the sun rose high above the sky. Yue Ling left De L’amour as her white BMW x5m slows to a stop in front of the address Secretary Jiang had sent her to meet up.

She stepped out of her car and stares at the building in front of her. It was all white with a name Moonlight displayed in a purple shade that resembled the night sky.

Covering the lower half of her face was a black mask. With the news of her engagement to Lu Tian and the conversion of De L’amour and An Qing, she didn’t want to attract any attention.

She didn’t really care about what others have to ask or say. Even she hasn’t opened her phone to see what the netizen has to write about her.

As she knows that there will always be her fans who support her and her anti-fans who oppose everything she does even if it was drinking coffee in public.

Closing the door to the driver seat, she hands her car key to the valet worker and walks towards Moonlight. She enters through the doors and arches a brow.

Instead of being greeted right away by the restaurant, she walked through a small hallway then down a set of stairs until she came to another hallway leading straight to glass double doors.

There were no windows but the lights on the ceiling were bright enough to help one see where they were going.

She walks up to the doors and as they were sensors, they automatically slide open for her. She didn’t hesitate to enter, and a small gasp escapes her lips when she saw the inside.

The place was rather dim compared to the hallway, but not to the point a person could not see. That was because the restaurant was set up with an astronomy interior design.

Each table was similar to that of a luxury restaurant, but the ceiling was coated with an outer space image. It made one think they were gazing out to the galaxy just beyond earth.

"Good afternoon Miss. Do you have a reservation with us?"

A waiter greets Yue Ling when he saw her entered through the doors. She looks at him and removes the mask then gives him a polite smile.

"I have a reservation with Miss Jiang."

The waiter’s eyes widen when he saw who she was. As one of Imperial’s well-known figures, how can he not recognize her the moment she removed her mask. Not only that, but the headlines of every media was also about her.

However, quickly able to pull himself together, he gestures with his right hand in a direction. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ (f)ire

"Yes, Miss Jiang has already arrived. Please follow me this way."

Yue Ling nods her head and follows after the man. As he led her through the path between the tables, she noticed that Moonlight did not have any private rooms. Instead, the tables were in full view but once a person sat down, the dividers separating the tables allowed one to have some privacy.

The restaurant was also not packed with customers, but just as they were about to reach the table Secretary Jiang was sitting, her eyes caught sight of a person. A very familiar person sitting at one of the tables in the far corner.

However, she doesn’t say anything to get the person’s attention and continues to follow the waiter.

"Miss Han, you’re here."

Just as they reached the table, Secretary Jiang stood up from her seat and greets Yue Ling. She was clothed in a green dress and looked freshening compare to her work attire.

Yue Ling smiles politely at her and takes the seat across from the woman. She waited until the waiter place a menu in front of her then looks at Secretary Jiang.

"Secretary Jiang, thank you for inviting me for lunch."

Hearing her tone full of formality, Secretary Jiang slightly purse her lips. She thought about something and smiles a chuckle.

"Miss Han, no need to be formal with me. You can just call me Jiang Shengyi."

When Yue Ling first came to visit Fang Fabrics, she saw how the retired model treated her assistant. She also noticed that Yue Ling didn’t treat Liu Shan like how a boss would treat their employee. It was more in a friendly, yet polite way like despite his position inferior to her, she still held respect towards him.

If possible, she (Jiang Shengyi) would like to have a boss like Yue Ling. Unlike President Fang who tends to step on every and thinks highly of himself.

Yue Ling stares at Jiang Shengyi and she could read what was on the woman’s mind. From the moment she met this woman, she knew that Jiang Shengyi held no malicious intentions towards her and was a woman who does her job well.

"In that case, no need for the normality with me. Han Yue Ling is fine."

She lowers her head to look at the menu and a faint smile curls on her lip.

"Let’s order lunch then discuss business after."

Seeing that Yue Ling had changed her attitude from professional to friendliness, Jiang Shengyi was touched inside. She picks up her menu and quickly decides on what to order as she wanted to chat with Yue Ling.

As time passed by, so did the sky outside of Moonlight. Yue Ling and Jiang Shengyi had finished their lunch and discussed what needed to be said between the two women.

Yue Ling stood up first then Jiang Shengyi. She (Yue Ling) reaches for her handbag then turns to look at the other woman. She stuck her hand out and smiles lightly.

"Thank you for lunch. I look forward to seeing you next week."

Just having put on her coat, Jiang Shengyi was in a dazed by Yue Ling’s smile. However, she returns a smile and shakes the retired model’s hand.

"No, I should be thanking you for accepting me. I won’t disappoint you."

Both women then walk away from the table. Jiang Shengyi walked ahead as Yue Ling was a few steps behind. Just as they reached the glass double doors, a woman and man were also leaving.

The group came to a stop as the door was only wide enough for two people to enter or exit.

"Oh, I’m so sorry. I wasn’t watching where I was going."

The woman smiles an apology when she almost bumped into Jiang Shengyi. She looks at Jiang Shengyi then glances at Yue Ling.

However, the moment she saw Yue Ling, her eyes trembled ever so lightly as she gasps.

"Han Yue Ling."
