Unexpected Second Chance at Love [5]

CHAPTER 825: Am I dependable?

While Yue Ling heads to An Qing, in another part of Imperial, Lu Tian sat in his office listening to Xu long give the daily report. However, his attention is towards the view of Imperial outside the window.

"...and to sum up this report, Lu Corps is officially no longer associated with TB Corps and Industrial Group or any businesses involved with them."

Xu Long stood in front of Lu Tian's desk with his eyes lowered to the tablet. When he finished giving his report, his hands fall to his side, and he looks up at his boss.

"I think..."

Before he could voice his opinion regarding the report he had given, his

eyes turned heavy.

Lu Tian's eyes were focused on the window like any other day when he (Xu Long) comes in to give the report. However, the difference this time is that he (Xu Long) can hear and see him (Lu Tian) sigh every few seconds.

He (Xu Long) couldn't help but heave a long sigh and raises one hand to massage his forehead.

"Boss, if you are too worry, why don't you just give the lady boss a call? If it were me, I would have long made the call."

The second Xu Long's last word fell, Lu Tian's eyes shifts away from the

window to the assistant.

"It seems I've been too lenient that you can speak your mind."

"..."

Xu Long stiffens in place with lips tightly pressed together. He thought that his boss wouldn't hear him since he (Lu Tian) seemed to be immersed in his world.

He chuckles sarcastically with an apologetic expression and scratches the back of his head.

"I was just trying to help since you looked worried about lady boss."

Lu Tian's eyes stayed on Xu Long for another second before looking back at the window. He couldn't help but sigh inside as his assistant was correct.

He knows that his wife is on her way to An Qing to settle a score. Of course, it is expected within the business industry. However, anything regarding his wife makes him worry for her safety.

What if the people at An Qing tries to make things difficult for his wife? Or what if they pretend to get on her good side only to betray her later?

His brows crease together, and he looks back at Xu Long.

"Am I dependable?"

Xu Long was caught by surprise at the unexpected question. However,

noticing the seriousness behind the frown on the aloof man's face, he quickly answers.

"Of course. You are the most reliable, steadiest, and trustworthy person in

the entire world."

He puts on a stern expression letting his boss know that his words were

nothing but the truth. He also didn't forget to give Lu Tian a thumbs up.

"Anyone who needs your help can always count on you..."
