Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 350 Guest of honor

*Knock! Knock! Knock!
A continuous loud pounding echoes throughout a secluded part inside Beauty. However, due to the fashion show that is still taking place, the hallway remains empty with no one in sight, not even the employees are seen walking around.
"Someone! Help me!"
A woman's faint voice sounds from behind the tightly shut door of a storage closet.
Inside the dark room, Ming Yue screams at the top of her lungs with tears running down her cheeks. However, no matter how much she knocks or shout, the door remains shut with no one coming to help her.
Her legs turn weak and she falls to her knees in sobs.
"How did it turn out like this…."
After she left the reserved area for De L'amour, she had gone to find Chen Limei. On her way, she noticed Lian Ni Shang was following behind her, so she pretended to head in the direction of the ladies room.
Coincidently, Lian Ni Shang also came the same direction. Left with no choice, she waited inside the bathroom stall until the cold woman left.
After confirming that Lian Ni Shang was no long in the restroom, she carefully snuck out.
However, the moment she opened the stall door, everything around became a blur and her vision went dark.
When she opened her eyes again, darkness greeted her. At first, she didn't know where she was, but constantly touching the things around, she realized she was inside a storage closet.
Coming back from her daze, Ming Yue wipes her tears away and pounds on the door again.
"Hello?! Is anyone out there? Please open the door for me! Hello?!"
When she thought all hope was lost, the shut door suddenly opens and the light from the hallway shines inside.
"Miss Ming, why are you hiding in here?"
Standing on the other side of the door, Chen Limei's assistant stares down at the pitiful looking secretary. However, seeing the woman's disoriented appearance, she frowns with pursing lips.
"If you want to satisfy your own selfish needs, you should do it on your own time. Do not waste my boss's time."
"…."
Ming Yue stares up at the woman and she was dumbfounded with confusion. Satisfy her own selfishness needs? She had been stuck in this tiny storage closet the entire time! How was she able to go find some man to mingle with?
"Ah!"
Lost in her thoughts, Ming Yue yelps as the assistant suddenly grabs her arm and pulls her up.
Before she could process her thoughts together, the assistant had already dragged her to meet Chen Limei in a quiet corner.
"CEO Chen, I've brought her."
Ming Yue is ruthlessly shoved towards the CEO. The impact was so strong that she stumbles and falls to her knees and hands.
Her fists clench tightly and her lower lip trembles. Never has she received such humiliation in her entire life!
"Get up."
Chen Limei ordered as she stood in front of the woman kneeling to her like a slave. Her eyes glare murderously at Ming Yue as if wanting to stab the woman to death.
"Why did De L'amour chance their designs? Did you already know this was going to happen and purposely give me false information?"
Ming Yue was helping herself stand up, but when she heard Chen Limei's words, she was rendered speechless.
De L'amour changed their designs? How was that possible? She made sure the designs she stole were the one from this year's black book.
All the employees at De L'amour knows that the black book is the one that contains all the current designs chosen.
"I…"
*Slap—
Just when Ming Yue steadied her ground and tried to explain, Chen Limei slaps her hard across the face. The woman's palm can be seen imprinted on Ming Yue's cheek that was slapped without mercy.
Ming Yue's head turned to the side from the hard impact. Her eyes trembled along with her lips as tears began to form.
"You screwed this up. Our deal is off. Don't even think that I will help you get the CEO position at De L'amour."
Chen Limei snort in disgusts after her words and turn to leave. Right now, she has a bigger problem to deal with.
Taking five steps away from the good for nothing secretary, she pause in her steps but does not turn to face the woman.
"Don't ever show yourself in front of me."
Ming Yue's shoulders jumped in fear hearing the warning and disgust in Chen Limei's voice. She bit her lower lip and sob quietly to herself as the CEO and her assistant leave.
Chen Limei was her strongest backer. How did things not go accordingly to her plan?
She lifts one hand and bit her nails. Thinking of something, her eyes lit up and she wipes away the tears.
So what if she lost Chen Limei's support, she still hand another one.
Ning Xingyu!
Unknown to the conversation that took place, the audience applaud as Wu Jing's figure steps onto the stage to greet them again.
"Did that take you all by surprise?"
He smiles with his straight white teeth and help the microphone close to his mouth.
"I'm sure by now you all know that De L'amour is our mysterious designer tonight. Like An Qing, this year, De L'amour decided to represent itself in this event."
The eyes of everyone in the audience widen at the confirmation. They had thought it was their eyes that was playing a trick on them. However…
"If An Qing's competitor is De L'amour, wouldn't that mean they already lost?"
"An Qing was able to win first place in the past because of De L'amour. Their designs were just as good, but from the looks of it, they lost their biggest trump card."
"I wouldn't be surprise if De L'amour won first place. Their pieces were beyond perfection when comparing to An Qing's."
On the stage, Wu Jing can hear the whispers below and didn't mind them at all as he kept his usual wide smile.
When he learned that his good friend, Yue Ling had decided to reveal her identity as De L'amour's designer, he was just as shock as everyone here. However, he recovered from the shock since he knew that this day would eventually come.
"I hope everyone enjoyed the fabulous show as I did. Before I introduce our two designers, I would like everyone to give a round of applause to our guest of honor."
His words fell, and everyone's attention turn back to him in applause. Although they are curious to know who this mysterious designer is, they are also curious about this special guests Wu Jing mentioned.
A spotlight shines over the audience like a game revealing the look on each person's face as they try to guess who the special guest is.
After a few rounds, the spotlight lands in the section in the front and everyone couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
Clothe in all black is the one person everyone in Imperial knows. His long and narrow eyes did not meet anyone's eyes, but one can see how soul captivating they were. The coldness within those dark pupils made people tremble as his complexion gave a matching cold countenance with a powerful impression that did not lack to anyone.
The aura around him made one afraid to get near him but can't help from not wanting to look away.
"It's Lu Tian!"
"Lu Corps' CEO is the guest of honor?"
"When did he arrive? I was too focused on the show that I did not see him come in at all."
Which was the truth. Everyone had been lost in a trance with the fashion show that no one saw the man. Not even during the opening entrance, so when did he arrive?
Even Madam Lu and Zhao Ya'Er were shocked speechless. They sat so close to the aloof man and yet, neither did not notice him until now.
Lu Tian paid no attention to the stares. He calmly rose from his seat as his dark figure quickly silences the voices inside with eyes glued on him.
Although they were shocked at this moment, they were also happy.
Not only did they get to see Yue Ling take the stage again, they also got the chance to see the infamous business king in person.
As Lu Tian steps onto the stage, Wu Jing maintained his usual smile and personality.
Both resembled the opposite of each other. One clothe in all black like a dark knight, while the other looked like a light knight in white.
"WOW! Lu Tian and Wu Jing are both equally charming!"
"To see two of Imperial's bachelors on the stage together is like a dream come true!"
"I don't know who to choose at all. The cold and aloof, Lu Tian or the nice and carefree, Wu Jing!"
