Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 662 Where is her assistant?

Yue Ling entered De L'amour wearing a gray princess coat. Underneath her coat, she wore a black turtleneck dress to hide all the red kiss marks Lu Tian had put on her neck and body. On her feet were a pair of black heels that were not too high and comfortable enough for her to walk in.
"Good morning, CEO Han."
Seeing her figure, Sophia greets happily and stood up from her seat behind the receptionist's desk. She was excited to see her boss at work again.
Every day without her has been dreadful and gloomy. However, the moment she appeared, it was like the gray clouds inside the entire place disappeared and everything brightened up.
She was about to sit back down but thinking about something, her expression turns confused.
"Ah… CEO Han, are you here to visit or…?"
Yue Ling smiles at her receptionist and looks around the front lobby. Her gaze land on the young woman again before striding for the elevators after her words.
"I'm back from leave. Once the design team is here, have them meet me in my office."
Due to the earliness in the morning, only a few employees had arrived for work. Yue Ling greeted them along the way before she steps into the elevator to go up the floor.
She quickly arrives on the highest floor and steps out from the elevator. She heads for her office and unlocks the door to enter.
As she was taking her coat off, her brows slightly crease, and she tilts her head. Glancing at the door to her office, she arches a brow.
Normally Liu Shan would already be here and the first to bother her, but she didn't see him on her way up nor was he in his office.
So, where is her assistant?
As she proceeds to indulge herself with the work she had missed, in another part of Imperial, a manor house coated with dark bricks stood its ground under the clear sky.
"Nn…"
Inside one of the many rooms in the house, sunlight enters through the windows, and the man lying in bed groans in pain. His head was pounding with intense pain and he swore the world felt like it was spinning like crazy.
From a glance, one can see that he is laying on his stomach and both his tones arms stretch out as he sat on his knees.
The blanket that covered his body slid down to his waist and reveals his muscular back.
However, his back was not bare as it was tattooed with a roaring dragon that wrapped above his shoulder blades. In the middle of his spine, the Yin and Yang symbol in the form of the Tree of Life could be seen as a fierce tiger roams at his lower back.
His arms stretch in front of him as he arches his back out again. He sounds another groan and his head tilts back as he stretches his neck from side to side causing crackling sounds to echo inside the quiet room.
If one were to see him, one would definitely mistake him as a notorious boss in the underworld.
"Oh, you're awake."
The door to the room suddenly opens at a steady pace and a woman's soft voice follows after. Her long black hair was tied in a messy low bun and she wore a silky black robe that was not revealing. In her hands was a tray with a cup that had steamed floating out.
"That was a wild night, Shan."
Liu Shan straightens his head in place and he lazily turns his head to look at the door. His eyes were heavy like he did get enough sleep, but the moment he saw the woman, his eyes shot open and he was wide awake.
"Oh, shit!"
He curses aloud and turns as stiff as a rock. His eyes soon blinked at the woman before he slowly lowers his head. Seeing his shirtless body, he grabs the blanket from behind and quickly covers himself, including his head.
'Shit! Shit! Shit! What in the world happened last night? Why am I not at home? How did I end up here? Where is here?'
He swore over and over again as he tries to rack his brain. He thought he had woken up in his own bed. Was he embarrassed that someone saw his body? Of course, not. He works out and has a nice body. The question is, how did he end up half-naked in someone else's home?
Slowly lowering the blanket to reveal only his eyes, he looks back at the woman. Seeing her in a robe, he wanted to cry but lacked the tears to shed.
He swallows a hard gulp and forces a chuckle with the ends of his mouth twitching.
"Y-Yuanyuan, we… w-we didn't… y-you know, right?"
Trying to recall everything that happened last night, Liu Shan's brain was quickly in a chaotic mess. All he could remember was chatting with Kira. Everything that followed after was blank.
How much did he drink? When did Kira leave? When did Yuanyuan enter the room? How did he get here? Why is he shirtless? What about the woman he saw entering the private room?
The more he asked his brain, the more pain he felt. He massages his head one hand and mumbles cursing words to himself.
Yuanyuan stares speechlessly at the assistant. She tries to keep her composure, but seeing how distraught he was, she smiles a chuckle and walks over to the bedside.
"You were too drunk to drive and I don't know where you live, so I brought you to my place."
She places the tray down on the side table and grabs the cup. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she stretches her hand out with the cup to the man still hiding under the blanket.
"Drink this. It's ginger tea and will help with your hangover."
However, despite her coaxing tone, Liu Shan does not move at all.
Seeing him act like a child early in the morning, Yuanyuan sighs inside. Even she didn't understand why out of all the men the world, she had to fall in love with this man.
Then again, it is because of this side of him that she loves.
She sets the cup of tea back down on the tray and stands up. She doesn't leave but inhales a deep breath as if to ready herself.
Bending down, she grabs the blanket and yanks it away from Liu Shan.
"Shan, why are hiding like a child? Are you a child and not a man? Hurry up and get up."
However, like two people playing tug-a-war, the more Yuanyuan pulls on her end, the more Liu Shan held onto the blanket for dear life.
Frustration quickly dawns on Yuanyuan and she lets go of the blanket. She fist one hand at her hip and her other hand raise to massage her forehead.
"Nothing happened between us. You were drunk and vomited all over your shirt, so I took it off, but you wouldn't let me put a new shirt on you."
When Liu Shan heard her tone that could be mistaken for a mother lecturing her son, he loosens his grip on the blanket and lowers it to reveal his full head.
He stares with doubtful eyes but a bit a relief can be seen in them.
"Really? Nothing happened?"
Yuanyuan felt her chest tighten at his relieved expression. She wanted to lie and have him be responsible, but she knows she couldn't.
She forces a smile and shook her head to confirm that nothing happened. Everything she said is true. She could have used this to take advantage of him, but she can never force him to be with her.
Even if she loves him, she rather be his good friend than become someone he loathes.
Liu Shan's body relaxes at her reassurance. He scoots over to her side and takes the drink she had prepared.
He drinks it in one gulp as it wasn't too hot but at the perfect temperature. He set the cup down and wipe his mouth with the back of his hand and looks up at her with shame.
"Thanks for taking care of me, but… did you find out who the woman was?"
Yuanyuan waited until he was done drinking the tea. Once he was done, she picks up the tray and looks down at him to answer his question.
"It's her. I'm sure of it."
Hearing her response, Liu Shan furrows his brows in thoughts. Since it's 'her' then that means his suspicion was correct. However, who was she meeting?
Should he try to find more information or tell his boss right away?
The second he thought about his boss, his eyes widen, and his jaw drops to the floor. He tosses the remaining blanket on him aside and jumps out of bed.
"Oh shit! I'm so dead!!"
How could he forget about work?!
