Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 242 Three conditions

Standing it's ground powerfully in the center of Imperial, Lu Corps dark structure gleams reflectively with the sun.

On the second highest floor, Lu Tian enters the conference room. In big strides, he walks to the end of the room. Sitting down, he looks at the person already seated inside the room.

This person is a pretty woman. Her long black hair is tied in a high ponytail and her glasses framed her features well. In front of her was a black suitcase.

Lu Tian did not show any other signs but indifference. He had rushed to Lu Corps because this person arrived earlier than the scheduled time. If it wasn't for 'that', he would still be enjoying the rest of the day with his wife.

Standing beside Lu Tian, Xu Long glance at his boss then to the woman. He can't help but wonder why his boss is never attracted by any of the women sitting or standing in front of him.

But then again, who could blame the man. Lu Tian now has the most beautiful woman in Asia as his wife. What is there to find attractive of other women?

If Xu Long was in his boss's shoes, he wouldn't care about other women either.

The woman sat patiently at her end as she looks at Lu Tian. Like him, she also held a poker face with her straight posture.

"Mr. Lu, I do apologize for my early arrival. However, as promised, I am here to deliver L'amour de ma vie to you."

She reach for the black suitcase and punch in a code to unlock it. With careful movements, she opens it and retrieved a small square jade box.

Seeing this, Lu Tian nods his head in gesture for Xu Long to retrieve the box from the woman.

Like the perfect assistant he is, Xu Long did not waste time and walks over to the woman. However, before he could take a step, the woman suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Lu, before I hand this jade box over to you, my boss has three conditions to make."

"..."

Hearing the word 'conditions', the space between Lu Tian's brows crease into three lines. He had already purchased L'amour de ma vie, what conditions are there now?

With great sense of judgment, the woman could already guess what Lu Tian must be thinking. When she was assigned this assignment, she was shocked that the business king was actually the buyer of her boss's most prize possession.

She had heard stories that Lu Tian is a very hard person to deal with. Even outside of business, this man is formidable and hard to please.

However, she did not come here to entertain herself or the other party. Her purpose here must be fulfilled or else....

Clearing her throat, she sets the jade box down on the table.

"My boss hopes that Mr. Lu will agree to these three conditions. If not, my boss will not give L'amour de ma vie away."

"Speak."

Lu Tian's eyes dimmed and his expression turned murderous. No one has ever talked about conditions to him, except for his wife. He never further the research into H International's CEO because he guessed the man was reasonable.

Could he have guessed wrong?

Standing beside his boss, Xu Long wanted to hit his forehead. Was this woman asking for death because he isn't. He still has more years to live and find a wife!

Ignoring Lu Tian's dark glare at her, the woman straightens her posture more. Did Lu Tian's tone bother her? Of course not, her boss is just as scary as the man.

Her time working at H International has toughen her up in dealing with people like this.

"One, L'amour de ma vie is not to be use for your own person gain. As you know, this ring is worth more than any diamond in the world. My boss hopes that you will not trade or sell it to another."

She glance at Xu Long then back to Lu Tian. However, her small glance was as if giving both men a warning.

"Two, my boss ask that you take good care of L'amour de ma vie as it was the most prize possession to my boss."

"Three, the money you transferred to H International will be transferred back to you."

Finishing her last word, the woman then takes out two pieces of paper. She sets it down on the table and her words continue.

"My boss is not asking for much and does not need the money, but hope that you will accept the three conditions. L'amour de ma vie may be an item to you, but to my boss, it was the sentimental strength that allowed my boss to carry on with each day."

Ending her words, the woman place her hands down on her lap.

"Here are two copies of the conditions. Please sign it if you accept."

She looks at Lu Tian and awaits an answer.

Xu Long walks over to the woman and takes the two pieces of paper. He then gives them to Lu Tian.

He frown in question as to why someone would make such simple conditions like this. Just who is H International's Boss?

Reading one of the papers, Lu Tian frown in thoughts. Yet, it didn't take long for him to come to a decision.

He reach for the pen in the inner pocket of his suit jacket and signs both papers. Handing one piece to Xu Long, he keeps the other one.

"I agree to the three conditions."

Hearing the answer, the woman sighed in relief. If she wasn't putting on a professional act, she would have patted herself on the back for being here.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Xu Long walks back to the woman and hands her the signed copy of the conditions. As they trade, he couldn't help but feel the woman slightly grip the jade box tightly. It was a quick second, but that quick second did not escape his senses.

He slightly pout his lips and walks back to his boss with the jade box in his hands. He carefully set it down and takes a step back.

From across the room, the woman pressed her lips together and watched everything. She swore, her heart had stopped when Xu Long took the box away. She was very reluctant to let L'amour de ma vie go.

It wasn't because she wanted the ring for herself, but because of her boss.

In the past, there was never a day her boss did not look at the ring. To others, L'amour de ma vie is a ring worth millions, but to her boss, it was the proof of an unconditional love that remained even after death.

For everyday she went to work, she would always see the look of love and longing in her boss's eyes.

However, as reluctant as she is at this moment, her boss's decision is firm and no one can change it.

The woman close her eyes and takes a deep breath to steady her aching heart for her boss. When she open her eyes again, every trace of feelings inside vanished.

"Mr Lu, I have finished my purpose of this visit. I do hope that will you keep your words to my boss."

Without any intentions to stay longer, the woman stood from her seat and close the suitcase. She bows in respect to Lu Tian and leaves the room.

Watching the woman leave, Xu Long was dumbfounded. He could not believe what he was seeing. His cold and ruthless boss was not bothered by the fact that the other person left the room just like that!

Dear god, has his boss gone.... mad?

He blinked his eyes a few time and glance at Lu Tian again. However, he was even dumbfounded.

Lu Tian's eyes did not leave the jade box at all. He lift a hand and his fingers gently caress the box. From a distance the box looked simple, but seeing it up close, there were small yet detailed engravings on the outside.

Thinking of his wife, a faint smile curl on his lip.

Seeing this, Xu Long clench his chest like he was having a heart attack. It was the faintest smile in the universe, but nothing escapes his 20/20 vision.

Dear god, his boss has gone mad!!

"Put this in a secured place until all preparations are ready."

"Yes, sir!"

Xu Long without thinking quickly answers with a salute. However, he scratch his head and looks at the jade box.

"Boss, you're not going to look inside? What if theh trade it with a fake?"

Lu Tian stare with heavy eyelids at his assistant. Was he someone easily fooled? Of course not!

Standing up, he fix his suit jacket and leaves the room. He didn't need to open the jade box to check, because he understood the meaning behind the three conditions.

"I trust H International."

Although the first two conditions were simple, it showed how much H International's CEO had care for the ring. If H International was to give him a fake ring, the money he transferred would not have been the third condition.

*ring ring*

Just when Lu Tian stepped out of the room, his phone suddenly rings. He frown and takes his phone out from his pocket.

Seeing who the caller is, his frown deepen.

*ring ring*

The phone rings again and he answers the call with a slightly annoyed expression.

"Hello."

["Tian, come home, it's important."]
