When she saw Pan Tingmei’s horrified reaction, Ling Tianya feigned surprise and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Pan Tingmei exchanged a glance with Jack who was beside her. They both knew that they were finished, there and then.
When the higher executives who were also present saw Jack and Pan Tingmei’s reaction, they all had some inkling of what was going on. Jack probably had a big part to play in Pan Tingmei winning first place in this assessment.
Ling Tianya stopped smiling then. She said coldly to the artiste management executive, “These two are under your management, so I’ll leave them to you.”
The executive nodded his head and glared at Jack. How could something so scandalous happen under his watch? He had wanted to impress Ling Tianya today when he met her. He was definitely leaving an impression on her, but not the kind he had in mind.
Ling Tianya looked over at Cheng Chen and said, “Settle the matter of your assistant yourself. My sister won’t be bullied so easily, you know that, right?”
Cheng Chen smiled at Ling Tianya. He knew her well. He knew that she was the kind who would serve out poetic justice and exact her revenge as she deemed fit.
“I know.”
Afterward, Ling Tianya took hold of Yu Luoluo and smiled warmly. It was a stark difference from the way she talked to her subordinates. “Come on, let’s get you changed into a different outfit.”
“Oh, ok,” Yu Luoluo followed Ling Tianya in a daze. She was awed by this woman. Tianya sister was the best! She had blown Pan Tingmei and Jack’s cover instantly.
Ruan Qishan was standing not too far away, and he was smiling at Ling Tianya. Madame Ruan walked over to him and said, “Don’t get on that Ling girl’s wrong side.”
Wang Zhiya grinned. “My Yaya is the best! I like her just the way she is.”
Ling Tianya took Yu Luoluo to the lounge on the third floor. The stylist was already there waiting for them when Yu Luoluo took her seat in the styling chair. She glanced at Ling Tianya secretly as she was doing her makeup.
Ling Tianya was carrying Tiny Rice Ball and kissing him for a while before laying him in the cot. She looked over at Yu Luoluo and asked, “What’s going on between you and Cheng Chen?”
Yu Luoluo was stunned. “Sister, why do you ask? What could there be between Mr. Cheng and me?”
“Stop bluffing. I could tell something was up from your expression when Cheng Chen helped you up earlier on. Tell me the truth.”
Yu Luoluo bit her lip. She didn’t expect her sister to be this sharp. She had no choice then, and she didn’t dare to lie to Ling Tianya anyway. She told her about how she had been trapped in the studio with Cheng Chen for an entire night. She didn’t mention how she fall asleep leaning against Cheng Chen and the fact that he accidentally brushed her chest.
“That’s all?” Ling Tianya asked.
Yu Luoluo shivered, she thought that Ling Tianya had the potential to be an agent. Although she was guilty, she forced herself to nod her head. “That’s all. I really thought that he was an average technician and I chatted casually with him. I only found out that he was Cheng Chen when we were rescued. Sister, trust me, there’s nothing going on between Mr. Cheng and me, really!”
Ling Tianya stared at Yu Luoluo for a moment and then back at Tiny Rice Ball. “Cheng Chen isn’t suitable for you. He enjoys his freedom, and he hates being restricted or tied down. He would never shackle himself to a committed relationship. You’ll be the one getting hurt if you fall for him.”
Ling Tianya’s word disappointed Yu Luoluo. She rebutted, “Sister, what are you talking about? There’s nothing going on between the two of us, besides, Mr. Cheng is so much older than me. I would never like him. I don’t have a thing for uncles.”
Ling Tianya was playing with Tiny Rice Ball, and she couldn’t help but laugh at Yu Luoluo’s exclamation.
Sometimes when love knocked at your door, the one it knocked on might be the one you least expected.
