In another part of Imperial, a red Audi r8 pulls into the parking lot at the back of De L"amour. The cars parks and the driver side door opens as Liu Shan steps out into view.

He was dressed in his usual fas.h.i.+onable attire and carrying his work bag, he proceed for the entrance to enter De L"amour.

"Good morning Liu Shan."

Inside the fas.h.i.+on company, Sophia stood up from her seat when she saw the a.s.sistant enter.

Usually it was Lian Ni Shang and Shan Sinan, but today was Liu Shan"s turn to come in to work early since their boss was still on leave.

"Good morning Sophia."

Liu Shan returns the greeting with his usual polite smile. He doesn"t stop at her desk and makes his way towards the elevators.

Watching the man walk pa.s.s her, Sophia felt Liu Shan was in a rather good mood. She could even hear the man whistling to himself.

Did something good happen that she isn"t aware of?

She tries to think about what could have brighten Liu Shan"s mood so much but was unable to think of anything. She lightly shakes her head and returns to her seat. However, quickly remembering something, she calls out to him.

"Liu Shan, wait!"

Liu Shan had only reached the elevators when he heard the receptionist call out to him. He turns around and sees her running towards him.

"What is it and are you alright?"

From the receptionist"s desk to the elevator was only a few steps, but Sophia looked like she had run an entire marathon. She steadies herself to catch her breath and stretch both her arms out to Liu Shan.

"I"m alright, but this came in today for boss."

Liu Shan lowers his head to look at the package in Sophia"s hands. He reach out a hand and takes it from her.

"Did the delivery man say who sent it?"

He asked because there was only one man who delivers all the mail to De L"amour. The delivery man will also notify them of who the sender is before leaving.

However, to Liu Shan"s surprise, Sophia shook her head in response.

The young woman held her hands in front of her and glance down at the package then back to Liu Shan.

"He didn"t say, but I checked the address. It"s from City Z."

Hearing her words, the s.p.a.ce between Liu Shan"s brows slightly crease into three lines. He looks back down at the package and his frown deepens.

It was a small box packaged with only an address label on the top. There wasn"t even the sender"s name, but when he saw the address, he knew exactly who had sent it.

"I got it from here. I"ll pa.s.s it to boss."

He gives Sophia a polite nod and press the b.u.t.ton for the elevator. The door slides open, due to no one having come to work yet, so all the elevators were still on the first floor.

Sophia was left alone on the first floor. Even when Liu Shan was no longer standing in front of her, she stares at the elevator with a worried expression.

She doesn"t know what is inside the package but judging from Liu Shan"s expression, she knows that it is something very important. However, she knows better than to ask what is inside.

Turning away, she walks back to her seat and continue with her own work.

*Ding

The elevator bell chimes as it arrives on the highest floor of De L"amour. Liu Shan steps out like any other person, but he didn"t bother to look at where he is going.

He kept his head down and his eyes were glued down at the package in his hand. His thoughts are kept hidden and after a few steps, he finally arrives at his office.

He unlocks the door with his keys, but before entering, he couldn"t help but glance at the shut door that led to Yue Ling"s office.

A sigh escapes his lips and decides that once he is off the clock, he"ll deliver the package to her.

*Ring Ring

Thirty minutes had only pa.s.s by before the phone inside Liu Shan"s office rings. He was currently coordinating a blueprint of the creative designs for his boss.

He wanted to make sure that when Yue Ling returns to work, she will have less work to worry about. However, being distracted by the phone, he could only stop and answers the call.

"a.s.sistant Liu speaking."

["Ah, Liu Shan. You have a guest."]

From the other line, Sophia"s voice can be heard, but Liu Shan furrow his brows as the young woman sounded more cheerful than when she greeted him upon arrival.

"Who is it?"

["Um… A very important guest."]

"…"

Hearing her answer, Liu Shan was dumbfounded as she had made sure to emphasize the words "very important". He heaves a sigh as his head shook lightly.

"Send them up."

He tells her over the phone and stood up from his seat. As he walks out from his office, he scratch the side of his head and ponder in thoughts. There was hardly ever any guests that comes here other than Lu Tian and Xu Long, so who could this guest be.

*Ding

Due to De L"amour being the smallest company building in the area, it didn"t take long before the elevator arrives at the top floor.

Liu Shan had been waiting patiently since there was no secretary to greet the guest.

The door slides open and a polite smile appears on his lip. He doesn"t show it on his face, but deep inside he was eager to know who the person is. Especially when this person the audacity to not give a name at the front desk.

His mouth opens to greet the person, but the second he saw the figure inside the elevator, his jaw drops to the floor and he gasp in shock.

"Boss?"

Stepping out of the elevator, Yue Ling held back her laugh with a smile. She could already tell that she had shocked her a.s.sistant to the core with her sudden arrival.

"Good morning a.s.sistant Liu."
