Unexpected Second Chance at Love [5]

CHAPTER 831: Finally here

"Look. She came out of the meeting with the board members."

"Why is she alone? Where are the board members and the people she came with?"

"Did the meeting fall through? Could that be why she is leaving?"

"Shh. Didn't you hear? She has always been our CEO. She makes all the choices for An Qing, while Chen Li Mei is just a stand-in."

Leaving the conference room, Yue Ling received the stares of the employees as she walked past them.

However, she feigns ignorance to their whispers of curiosity.

She rode the elevator to the highest floor level and makes her way through the long corridor until she reached a pair of glass doors.

Her steps paused as she stares at the door. It was the same door she had entered when she got rid of Chen Limei. The entrance to the CEO's office.

However, unlike the cold expression she held that day, she had a look of dejection.

She slowly raises her hand and touches the door handle. With a slight push, the glass door leisurely opens like time had slowed down.

Her right foot moved first, then her left as her movements repeated until she stood in the middle of the room.

She stares ahead at the desk settled in front of the many floor-to-ceiling windows.

His head was lowered with eyes glued onto the doc.u.ment in his hand. However, like he heard her entrance, he lifts his head.

He stares straight at Yue Ling, revealing the kindness in his eyes as he smiles with his teeth.

"Ah, you're finally here."

Yue Ling stares at the man for a long time. Her lower lip trembles ever so lightly as tears began to form in her eyes. The man's smile was one she will never forget as it consistently held warmth.

She pushes the tears back and softly smiles at the man.

"Chen Yifeng... I'm finally here."

A chuckle escaped the man's lip when he heard her words. He calmly stood up from the chair as he kept a smile on his face.

"About time."

Yue Ling's lips part like she wanted to say something, but before she could say a word, the man in front of her disappears like a Mirage.

She stares at the empty chair with eyes full of sadness. Everything that had happened in this room was a figment of her imagination.

The conversation she had with Chen Yifeng was one she had with him when he was still alive and healthy.

Her bluish-green eyes remained on the desk without blinking. After what felt like an entire day had gone by, she finally looks away.

She turns her head to look out at the window. She stares at the clear blue sky and sighs with a small smile.

"I've finally gotten rid of the people who betrayed you."

*Knock knock

"Boss, I've brought Mr. Tong."
