Chapter 26 De L’amour (1/2)
——
Yue Ling walked through the streets of Imperial
carrying the box of coffee and bag of pastriesfrom Feng An's Cafe.
”Look at that girl, she's extremely tall. Is she a model?”
”Even her looks are outstanding! Even her eyes! Is she a foreigner living in Imperial? She's definitely a model. Right?”
”I think I've seen her somewhere, but I can't remember where...”
Passing by the people of Imperial, Yue Ling paid no mind to the stares and whispers about her.
She was never one to mind what others had to say. Of course, it wasn't all the time.
Her lips curled upwards as she pictures what Feng An's face would like once she saw the ”gratitude gift'' she had left.
Truth was, she didn't just go around and randomly give people stacks of banknotes.
She only did so because she was thankful that there was still someone in the world who remembers FAITH.
Because FAITH was her Shin's dream...

Thirty minutes into her walk, Yue Ling arrives in front of a thirty story building. The building could be considered small because in comparison to the other buildings, they were way taller.
The building was all black with dark tinted windows, looking like a glooming building out of a haunted movie.
It wasn't as fancy looking and eye catching like the other buildings around, but to her, it was the most simplest that she found eye catching.
Ignoring all the confusing and curious stares at her, she takes steps forward, she enters through the automatic glass doors.
”Why did that beautiful young Miss go inside that building?”
”The building looks so scary, I walk to work everyday and realize this place just opened, is she really planning to apply there? I hardly see anyone go in or come out, most of the time it's just the workers.”
”I think she might just be delivering some things since she was carrying a box and bag that looked like take outs.”
Of course, Yue Ling didn't hear the whispers because the automatic glass doors had already closed behind her.
As for the people that walks by this building everyday, they would turn a blind eye because of the gloomy color outside.
No one bothers to care for things that didn't stand out to them.
What those people did not know was, once inside, this building brought a whole new atmosphere.
The front lobby had white marble walls, behind the reception desk was a two beautiful glass waterfall and the name of the building in the center in cursive.
'De L'amour'
The seating area had black leather club chairs on both sides for awaiting guests and the walls had huge canvas of fashion sketches.
The flooring was white tiles and the lighting inside were the most brightest, bring a natural feeling even with the dark tinted windows.
Yue Ling stood in front of the door and eyed the place like a proud mother.
A young girl about 23 years old was working at the receptionist desk. She wore a yellow long sleeve a-line dress and her brown hair was cut short into a bob with bangs.
She was currently typing on the keyboard. When she saw sight of Yue Ling, she quickly stands up and rushes over to Yue Ling.
The girl bows and greets Yue Ling.
”Good evening, Boss.”
