"Cathy! I might be coming home late. I had a magazine shoot today and the venue is out of town, so there are chances that I might stay there for the night or come home late. You don't have to wait for me, okay?"
"Okay, take care on your way, Monique!" Monique dashed out of the apartment carrying her luggage. Her assistant must have been waiting for her in the parking lot.
Monique is now back at work. It's already been a couple of days since she started working at Glory World. And for the past few days, she's always full of happiness.
No matter how tired she was, her face still glowed with enjoyment. Signing for Glory World must be the right decision.
Glancing at the time, it was almost past 8 in the morning. I don't have any classes scheduled for today, so I can just stay at home. 'It's still too early.'
I took the dirty plates to the sink after finishing my meal. Since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as

Love Blooms At Second Chances Chapter 27: Wedding Gown
(Catherine's POV) It was already late in the evening when we finished talking to the wedding coordinator. I was so amazed by how efficient she is. Even for myself, I don't really have any expectations about this wedding since it's just a contractual one. But, with how Ms. Wang planned the wedding. I can't help but feel mesmerized by it. From the wedding venue to the wedding cake, invitations, food, and beverages, everything was beautiful. We just have one problem right now, which is the gown I'm going to wear. Since this is a rushed wedding, it would be better to wear a ready-made gown, but President Lu insisted on making a custom-made one. It's fine with me with what gown to wear. I don't really care much about it. As long as it can fit me, then it's fine. But President Lu is really giving everyone a hard time. He insisted on his decision and he even offered to pay twice the price just to have it made before the wedding day. I
Love Blooms At Second Chances Chapter 28: Meeting With Chairman Lu
(Catherine's POV) Clad in a crimson-white sleeveless dress, my hair tied up in a bun, I looked at myself in the mirror where it reflected the image of a woman that she didn't know she would see once again. Her make-up completely highlighted her amber eyes, making them look brighter. Her neck is now adorned with a simple gold necklace given to her by President Lu. Earlier this morning, different people came knocking. Together with them are rows of pieces of jewelry, designer dresses, bags, and shoes. They also brought with them some stylists. I was baffled when these people came. But when Secretary Lin entered, I finally realized that they were the people sent by President Lu. He really made a lot of effort for today's event. I'm also a little bit nervous about this meeting. Although I have already met Chairman Lu a lot of times, I was a professor at that time, so it's easier to approach him. But now, I'm going to meet him as his grandson's soon-to-be
Love Blooms At Second Chances Chapter 1: Foundation Ceremony
(Catherine’s POV) As I looked at the time on my watch, I realized that it was almost time for the ceremony to start. I picked up my phone and called Monique to tell her that I'd be going home late since I hadn’t informed her about it yet. After a few rings, the call came through. “Hello, Monique?” “Cathy, hey! What’s up?” Sounds of people’s cheers are heard in the background. “Where are you? Why is it so noisy out there?” I can hear the loud music playing in the background. If I’m not mistaken, she’s in a bar right now. It’s not a surprise to me since she’s been bar hopping quite a lot of times before. “Oh, is it so loud? Wait, I’ll go out for a moment.” Monique went silent and all I could hear on the phone were noises from the place. Someone knocked on the door and announced that we should go now to the theatre hall located near the Music Department Building. Everyone responded and I stood up with my phone in my hand. “Hey, Ca
Love Blooms At Second Chances Chapter 2: The Man in the Snow
(Catherine’s POV) I hurriedly went inside our apartment as soon as I arrived. Opening the door, I went straight to the kitchen counter and took a glass of water. “Catherine, it’s okay! He won’t be able to recognize you. It’s fine!” My back slowly leaned back on the closed refrigerator door, still trying to calm myself. After a couple of minutes, the door of the apartment suddenly opened and Monique’s voice was heard all over the place. “Cathy! Cathy! Where are you?!” “I’m here!” Monique’s silhouette instantly appeared in the kitchen. Looking at her face, it was very clear that she was running. Her hair was slightly disheveled and I could see in her feet some redness in it. She must have removed her high heels on the way here. “Cathy!” She immediately hugged me tightly. “Are you okay? What do you mean you saw him again? How is that even possible? I thought that happened in City A?” We took a seat in the dining area. Monique sat beside m
Love Blooms At Second Chances Chapter 3: Nightmare
(Catherine's POV)'Where am I?’ I looked around the place and all I could see was white. I walked and walked, but it was pure nothingness.A voice suddenly sounded in this quiet place. “Catherine…” I looked back but I saw nothing. So, without any choice, I followed that voice until I saw something at the far end.I hurriedly ran without minding the cold ground. As I reached my destination, my brows furrowed and my amber-colored eyes looked intently at the familiar-looking door in front. 'It’s a door. Wait a minute, this door seems familiar… Right, it’s the door used in the operating room. Why is it here?'There was still nothing except for this door in front of me. Hesitation stopped me from opening this door. My hands seemed to freeze when I saw this oddly familiar door.Taking a few deep breaths, Ifinally decided to take a step forward. Then suddenly, the voice I heard earlier ca
Love Blooms At Second Chances Chapter 4: Three Years Ago (Winter's Incident)
(Catherine's POV)I was so engrossed with checking the research files my assistant handed to me. It's been years since I started researching about my sister's illness. But because of its rareness, I didn't manage to make any breakthroughs.My phone suddenly rang. I took a look and saw that it was my mother who was calling me, so I pressed the answer button. "Hello, mom".The crying sound of my mother on the phone made me startled. I immediately dropped my files on the table and placed my focus on the phone. This made me worry because it’s unusual for my mother to act like this unless something happened to Winter.I had a bad premonition about this so I called her again to get her attention. "What happened, mom? Why are you crying?""Catherine! Winter... she...""Mom, what happened to Winter? Did something happen to her?""She...She had an attack just now. We're already in an ambulance, your sister needs you, Catherine."A
Love Blooms At Second Chances Chapter 5: Three Years Ago (Her Death)
(Catherine’s POV)I went out of the ward and saw my mother sitting on the bench outside. She immediately rushed towards me and asked about Winter’s condition.Controlling my emotions, I reached out to her hands and held them tightly. “Mom, the test results came and according to that, her condition seemed to get worse and it spread faster than normal. I’m afraid, in a few weeks, it will reach her brain, which makes it more dangerous.”Tears spread in her already wet eyes. I raised my arms and hugged her gently. I'm also on the verge of crying but I suppressed it. My mother needs me and I need to be strong for her. "Mom, I promise you, I will do my best to save Winter. She's a tough girl. She will not leave us. There's still hope."I brought my mother back to my office so that she could rest properly. This was a tough day for her, not just physically but also emotionally."Mom, why don't you take a rest first while we wa
Love Blooms At Second Chances Chapter 6: Three Years Ago (Winter's Funeral)
It's been three days since Winter died. They hosted a funeral for her and a lot of their friends and relatives came to share their condolences.Catherine handled the funeral to the best of her abilities. She chose the funeral home, the casket, flower arrangements, memorial cards, funeral songs, and even Winter’s dress. Her father entrusted her to do this. Her mother is still in the hospital because her blood pressure keeps on rising and she still can’t handle these things. Her father is with her to take care of her.(Catherine's POV)Looking around the place, a sad smile crept onto my face. I can’t believe I arranged everything for this funeral. I had never once thrown an event nor hosted one. This will be the very first one, and it’s my sister’s funeral.One of the maids came and told me about the number of guests attending today. So, I left her some instructions that I needed to prepare. “Can you p

Love Blooms At Second Chances Chapter 25: Conditions
(Third Person’s POV) In a luxurious restaurant, a beautiful lady is silently sipping her tea while glancing at the scenery outside. It’s already spring and the flowers are slowly blossoming. The trees sway elegantly to the breeze of the wind, making the scenery harmonious to look at. This tranquillity was interrupted when a young handsome man took a seat in front, blocking the great view. The lady blinked her eyes twice and looked at the man sitting in front. “Oh, you’re here, President Lu.” The man smiled brightly at the lady sitting elegantly opposite him. “It was a surprise to receive a call from you Ms. Su. 2 weeks haven’t passed yet but you took the initiative to call. So, I’m guessing you have already made your decision.” Catherine reached out to her bag and took a file. Placed it in front of President Lu confidently. “I will marry you if you agree to the conditions written on that file.” Alexander took the file and carefully read each i
Love Blooms At Second Chances Chapter 24: Marriage Proposal
(Catherine’s POV) “Cathy, hey! Cathy! Cathy!” Monique’s waving hands flashed in my eyes instantly. “Yes, sorry. What are you saying?” I didn’t notice that my thoughts drifted away. Caught up in a trance, I can’t concentrate on our conversation because the words left by President Lu keep on popping up. “Are you okay? You seem distracted. Is something bothering you? I’m free to listen.” Worry flashed in her small eyes. Her eyes blinked a couple of times while looking at me. Her slender white fingers covered my hands resting on the table, comforting me. I flashed a smile to reassure her that everything was fine. I don’t want to worry her about my current predicament, especially now that she’s having trouble with herself. Pinching her pale white hands, I smiled gently. “Don’t worry. It’s not that serious, I’ll tell you about it soon when I figure things out. By the way, you were talking about some big news. What is it?” Enthusiasm came bac
Love Blooms At Second Chances Chapter 23: Welcome To My World (Part 2)
(Monique’s POV) “Welcome to Glory World Entertainment Ms. Monique Yang” Director Chen stood up and offered his hand. I happily accepted it and said my most heartfelt thanks. “Do you have something to do today, Ms. Yang? If none, would you like to have a tour of the company?” He offered, which I was delighted to hear. I was really curious about how Glory World Entertainment looks inside. I was only able to see the lobby and the 5th floor. And Glory World has more than 20 floors. “Yes, of course. I would love that Director Chen.” He took the contract in his hand and gestured for us to go out. “Let’s go, Ms. Yang.” When we were about to get to the elevator door, his phone suddenly rang. “Excuse me for a moment, Ms. Yang.” He walked a little bit further and answered the phone. That must be the CEO. He was very polite when he was talking and I keep hearing him say, sir. I waited at the corner and looked around just
Love Blooms At Second Chances Chapter 22: Welcome To My World (Part 1)
(Michael’s POV) “Sir, I have already made a phone call to Ms. Yang and she agreed to come to the office tomorrow morning for the contract signing.” Director Chen explained when I called him over for a meeting. “That’s good. Do the contract signing immediately and make sure that the contract is very reasonable. Not too much or too less or else she will not sign it. I can just increase the benefits once she’s already signed up here at the company.” I know her very well. She will become suspicious if the contract states too many benefits. It’s not yet the right time for her to know that I’m the CEO of this company. “Excuse me, Sir Michael.” “Yes Director Chen, is there anything else?” “Sir, do you know Ms. Yang personally?” I raised my head and looked at him. “Why did you ask?” “Well, I’m just confused about why you were targeting KM Agency. But when you suddenly order to have Ms. Yang signed, I got a little bi
Love Blooms At Second Chances Chapter 21: Glory World Entertainment
(Monique’s POV)Earlier this morning, Jasmine called to tell me that she would be coming over-delivering some important news. It would be nice to have someone to have a chat with since I’m dying of boredom here.Catherine is, as usual, working at the university, while I don’t really have much interest right now in going out.Speaking of Catherine, she was acting strangely after she got home late last time. She came home late even if the only schedule she had at that time was her fieldwork. I’m sure something must have happened during that time. If not, why is she acting unusually?She looked tense and there were times that I caught her lost in a trance. This is so unlike her. I’m sure there’s something that’s bothering her, but I don’t want to annoy her just to feed up my curiosity. It’s best to wait until she speaks about it on her own accord.*Ding*Someone rang the doorbell. That must
Love Blooms At Second Chances Chapter 20: Dinner
(Alexander’s POV) After our encounter in the parking lot, she finally agreed to have dinner with me. We left her car there and used my car instead. Fortunately, after that earlier episode, she finally managed to calm herself down. Silence is all that is heard on our way to the restaurant. I had already asked Secretary Lin to reserve a private room in the restaurant. When we arrived there, a few people were dining since it was already late in the evening. “Good evening President Lu. It’s a pleasure for us to have you here in our restaurant. Please follow me. I’ll lead you to your table.” The manager guided us to the second floor of the restaurant. This is where all the private rooms are located. I glanced at Catherine, who was silently following from behind. I stopped walking, which made the manager confused. “Is there something wrong President Lu?” Ignoring him, I turned around, which surprised Catherine. Her widened eyes tell how afra
