Monday morning, 7:00 am...
Good Morning Boss! I heard that you wanted to take Miss Lin to a new fashion parade? His secretary said turning a cup of coffee to his boss
Yes! I think it can be a good idea because I need to make an advertisement once more. He replied sipping his coffee then putting it down
It's not to offend, but why do you appreciate her that much? he asked curiously
She looks professional! That's the type of model people want. It's a good thing for the company.
Hmm... That is not wrong! She really does look professional! I will ask someone to review her CV and then he will ask her some questions.

A few minutes later when Lin Zoe arrived to work,
Yes! Senior, did you called me? she called as she quickly rushed to the room
You can call me Laura from now on. I will review your CV. she said calmly
Lin Zoe stood politely and gazed at her manager.
Apparently, we have some things to discuss right? she went on holding the documents
I don't know. she replied scratching her hair
Then take a seat we will review all of this at once. Laura replied taking a look at her
Did I do something wrong? Please, tell me that I am not expelled from the company because of that incident. she thought
What is she doing? Laura thought peeking at her
She was holding her legs in tremor and shaking her head with her hands clasped together.
Can she know about what the CEO and I discussed lately? She thought further
He was the one in the wrong. Not sure he can do that.
I'm too stressed it's nothing. she held her head depressed
You look very anxious! It's nothing wrong, I just want to ask you some questions. Laura said as she looked desperately at Zoe who was calming herself
Can I start? She asked arranging her hair
Yes, sure! Zoe nodded
I just wanted to ask, since when did you start making parades?
I did not do any parade for a while. Zoe answered
Humm... but your CV says you did some parades when you were young. Laura replied as she carefully read the details on her curriculum
That's exactly what I'm saying! Zoe went on
It's OK. You looked so professional at the last parade, the boss asked me to review your CV. she said calmly
Really!? she asked widening open her eyes
"Haha!"
Why was I so silly? She thought
Thank you! Fine, you're free. Laura ended as she opened the door to get out
Phew! She gasped as soon as she closed the door
....
Texting on phone*
Shen Zi: hello!
Lin Zoe: How is it?
Shen Zi: Fine like always.
Lin Zoe: Really?
Shen Zi: You don't believe me?
Lin Zoe: Silly!
Shen Zi: Sighs*...
Lin Zoe: Something strange happened today at work. I almost thought I will be fired.
Shen Zi: What happened?
Lin Zoe: My senior, Laura wanted to review my CV to see if I did some parades before and confirm my identity.
Shen Zi: What were her impressions about you?
Lin Zoe: They were quite desirable. Maybe they wanted to see if they could higher my position to make me participate in more parades for the future. Do you see?
Shen Zi: Guess, you can be right! I don't know. If something troubles you, call me.
Lin Zoe: Thank you so much! Love. she wrote with a smiley face and a heart
... Lin Zoe left the conversation...
Hello Miss Lin! a woman greeted as she was passing
Hi! she greeted back and then continued till the office
Knocks*...
Mr. Tsu, can I enter? she asked reluctantly
Yes, come in! he said seeming normal but quite happier to see her than other days
He sucks, I will have rather be his girlfriend so that I kill him more easily. Zoe thought with a grin on her face
Do you have any concerns that I can help with? Tsu Lian asked sitting crossed-legged on his office chair.
Very bossy! he looks mighty and yet so ungrateful. she thought trying not to grin this time
Yes, it is about the last parade I did. she bravely responded
"Continue." he said waving his hand
I just wanted to let you know that I didn't do many parades in my life but if you are searching for someone who can parade I'm the right person. Maybe, I'm talented in model skills, but I will definitely make this company rise to its peak.
And also fall... she thought
Personally, I didn't expect to say that but you persuaded me to trust you further. He said, enthusiastic
There is a parade today, I wanted to take another model today but it's better to have you around. After that there is a platform show, you will have to talk about yourself and the company.
I will inform your manager, she will get everything ready!
You have all the weekend, manage your time. He said with a serious glare
Thank you, Mr. Tsu! I don't know how to express my gratitude!
You can dispose! he said getting back serious to his work
Lin Zoe quickly went out and brimmed of joy over her luck.
I am already rising. I will soon become the best model in China and gain back my position. My revenge is also very near.
Hello dear readers! Hope you enjoy my story about Lin Zoe aka Alya with her sweet husband Shen Zi against Mighty CEO Tsu Lian.
"Fill all of these documents, Zoe!" Senior Laura handed her a set of papers and a pen "They are a little bit much!" she thought scratching her head As she saw the numerous amount of papers she just thought they were to be signed quicker. "Leave it to me!" she said preparing her pen "I sign this ... this ... this and this." Zoe used her pen to wobble on the papers and handed them to her senior as they were ready. "What's next to do?" she asked gently She had to know precisely how to schedule out her planning and it was proper for her to ask. "Well then! You will get to the summer parade and you will receive interviews with local celebrities. After that, you will go to the platform." "I see! This is all well noted." Zoe said Laura just nodded Before the spring parade, Amy was not that close to her manager and she will be very hard on her. The more she rises, the more she feels she will
"Did master ask you to take him?" she asked curiously "Yes, Madam! I'm sorry." She sighed and relaxed in the back seat. The summer parade was going to be in 2 hours and Zoe was nervous. "Don't worry Miss! We are already here and master will come quickly" the driver said trying to comfort her The driver could feel that she was nervous through this silence she was spreading. She just sat, sighed, or relaxed. The driver took his phone and called Shen Zi quickly. "Master! I'm waiting in the car." "Oh! I'm coming right away," he responded "Okay!" the driver winked Shen Zi was coming down from his office and Zoe was waiting patiently for him to come through the car glass. "Why is he taking so much time?"... Shen Zi appeared at the gate of the hotel with his secretary Lu Jin at his side. They were elegantly dressed and could look bright and happy. As Shen Zi saw Lin Z
Lin Zoe was at the entrance of the hospital with the driver. They were going out at the agency to drop Zoe for the parade. At the parking lot, the driver opened the door for her to enter then started the engine. She spontaneously held her phone and ranged Shen Zi's number in a quiver feeling. "Hello, did you find who was behind my attempted assassination?" As Shen heard this, he knew she was fine or she will be concerned by any critical injury or broken bone. Relieved, he opened himself to answer her question. "We found his identity! He is a young man who lives in Qinjing, apparently a dirty street." As he was speaking, Zoe was thrilled and knew perfectly the place where that bandit lived. "You said... Qinjing? It is very dangerous! My mother got attacked one day as she passed by." She felt worried and said, "Pay attention! They're only tyrants in that street." He responded and said," Do not worry I will take care of myself."
It was still rainy when Lin Zoe protected herself with her bag and calling a cab. All her dress was wet and she could not pass a phone call for the driver not to say she was still on the rain pattering. As the weather was becoming worse, she was cold and coughed. "Cough*, Why do I have to go to her house? I'm gonna get sick." Laura who has finished with her projects and discussion, came out ready to leave with her umbrella. As she walked peacefully, she noticed a young woman with the curly hair of Lin Zoe and had the same exact dressing. She thought it could not be her and was worried that such a woman will be calling a cab in such weather. She stood up and continued looking and became more worried then came closer to the girl and noticed it was Zoe. "Zoe!" The young woman looked at the person next to her and her eyes widened. "Laura?" She dropped her phone to the ground a
After the heavy rain, the sun shined and the sky felt warm. The afternoon was passing and the evening was coming. The platform interview was soon to be performed and without Zoe, it will turn into a scandal. It was just then, Zoe successfully arrived on time and was sent to the hospital. Doctors quickly brought her for rest inside and her treatment has quickly proceeded. Shen and Laura had to wait in the lounge patiently. Shen thought about her health while Laura was thinking about her situation for the platform. "What happened back then when I was away?" Shen asked suspiciously Laura was sad and felt guilty to have let her go out in such a rain. It was too heavy and was not aware enough to hold her. "Mr. Shen, when I found on the rain she was trying to find a cab. It looked urgent. I helped shelf and she had a fever." Shen Zi did not felt at ease. Many questions flowed in his head as he was trying to find an answer to them.
Zhang You walked straightforward to Zoe and whispered venomously in her ears. "Don't even think to get out alive from here today!" Lin Zoe trembled and stayed quiet not to alert this psycho. Zhang You grasped hardly her hand and caressed her neck. "I've sent men to kill you just as you get out." She showed a watch attached to her wrist to Lin Zoe. "As soon as I get the signal from here, they will shoot you dead." She laughed and went out quickly then suddenly stopped, "Lin Zoe don't even think of getting help. As soon as you do, you will be killed." Lin Zoe trembled and stopped her while still sitting on the sofa. "Zhang You before you kill me, can I know your reason?" She laughed and mocked to the loudest point at Lin Zoe. "You really don't know why? Guess for yourself!" Lin Zoe was left alone not knowing what to do. "I can't call Shen Zi! I will have to play tricks." ... Shen
Zhang You was cuffed and taken to the police car. No probem occured since she was sleeping and she will only get a big deal of surprise when waking up. Lin Zoe was satisfied that she was finally out of problems and could make it out alive. Shen hurriedly came upstairs and hugged her. "Zoe you're safe!" he said gently. Lin Zoe did not felt great and pushed him away. "Shen Zi where were you? I was worried." she sobbed in tears. She hugged him and cried greatly. "I thought I almost died." Shen sighed and patted her hair. "I dealt with the killers and asked someone to shoot Zhang You with a sleeping needle. Then we called the police," She was perplexed and looked at him strangely."How did you know the killer was Zhang You and how did you prepared everything so well in advance?" she asked. He hugged her softly and gave her a passionate gaze. "I told you that, I will not let anyone bully you Zoe." Zoe felt dee
Lin Zoe and Shen Zi were fixing each other, with the wind singing in their ears and their eyes, talking at their place. With patience and calm, she could only wait without doing anything. If Shen spoke, it will help her know how to deal with Zhang You later. They were both looking at each other, and Zoe was even more impatient than him. Shen sighed and stood up from his chair. "All this happened for your security, you know. I will have never done anything bad to you." At hearing him, a slight smile appeared on her face. She stopped smiling and faked seriousness. "I'm listening! Go on." "To trap Zhang You, I tracked the motorbiker who tried to knock you. With some special method, I forced him to give me the description of what happened and the person behind all that mess. That's how I knew about Zhang You. I knew you were on the platform and disturbance could ruin your image. So, I asked Lu Jin to bring my secret silent guns and sleep
They were walking into the galleries of the busy night market, where many tourists came to visit. It was a time of joy and rejoicement, especially because many were to attend the night lantern watch. Shen Zi held Zoe's hand and admired her face under the moon's glow. Vendors were selling hot pastries, ice cream, candies, and all types of sweet stuff you could think of in your mind. They were walking deeper and deeper, then saw the river which was as blue as Zoe's skirt and a morpho butterfly. Emily was more than happy and enjoyed the scene of this market bustling. "Here, this is steamed baozi. Who wants to have some?" She asked generously. "Me!" Shen and Emily said. "Alright, let's sit and order baozi," Zoe cheered. They sat down on the small terrasse which was just beside the river and a candle lit on the table, making it look more vibrant in the night. The night was warm and the sky was as dark as dark coal over a fire place. While they were looking at their food as Lin was a
When Lin Zoe opened the box, there was a lantern and two knots of different colors. The first knot was pink and the second one was blue. There were also two little pieces of cardboard, to write wishes, and some ink, with a brush.The lantern was colored pink and gold. It had floral decorations and drawings. The lantern had a wish on it written in pinyin saying; May love stands forever.Emily was so touched by the words, she was moved to tears."Sister Lin, your wish is so beautiful. Is your special person, my brother?" Emily asked."Yes, it's him," she answered."Your gift is great. I'm sure he will feel your sincerity and will be happy,"The words of Emily, encouraged her and made her feel more courageous. She felt that her efforts were not in vain and Shen will be surely happy. Its perfection and the wish on the lantern, will certainly make him feel moved."You're right, Emily," she said."By the way, the colors are gre
As Emily was savoring her ribs and fries; Lin Zoe was trying to figure out what was the "Paris International Painting Exhibit," Emily was talking about. She never heard of something like that and thought it could be new. She stopped thinking and directly asked to Emily. "Emily, what is that international exhibition, you're talking about? Is it important to you?" Emily nodded, "Yes, it is important to me, because that is the greatest exposition of painting that has ever existed in the world." "Wow!" Shen and Lin Zoe made. "It is a meeting between famous artists, gallerists, and painters. It is where the most valuable paintings in the world, are presented. It is also a chance for starters like me, to become famous. There will also be a lot of house of expositions; the best among them -- Sotheby's. Instantly, an idea winked in Lin Zoe's mind. "Emily, will there be prizes, there?" "Yes,"
Lin Zoe first had an awkward and confused face. But then, she smiled and had gleaming eyes; like she was dreaming. She looked up to Shen and held his hands tightly. "Is it true? Is that why both of you were so happy?" she asked. Emily and her brother looked at each other; then nodded back to her. She stayed silent, but then, in only a few seconds, she was jumping everywhere. "This is so great. We will be going on vacation, to a good place. Staying here alone is so boring. We will be having fun." "Hmph! You better bring me to castles and beaches. Then, we ride horses and eat ice cream under the Pont des amoureux," she said, holding her two hands, gleaming. Both Shen and Emily were surprised at her reaction and then laughed greatly. Lin Zoe was so happy, she started dancing. She took Shen's hand and called him to dance with her. "Shen, we should celebrate. How about I pay diner for all of us?" "That
Lin Zoe quickly stood up, cleaned her mouth, and smiled to welcome her "sister"at home. It was really her sister-in-law, Emily. She was a little bit scared because, she thought she had been rude and cold. She gave a cold look to Shen Zi, then turned back to her sister. "Emily, where you at the door for a long time?" then she murmured in her ears; "Or, Shen Zi was too excited, and forgot to take you inside the home?" "Oh! I quite came with Shen Zi, but I asked him to leave me outside to surprise you," Emily replied. Shen Zi was still eating his cake when he stood up and closed the door between them. Then went back to sit. "It's cold outside, both of you should come and eat in the warmth," he said. Emily Shen, is the second little sister of Shen Zi. She is an artist, traveling a lot and has a career in painting portraits, photography, and sculpting. Her mind is deep in imagination, and she is desperately lo
After having a fancy dinner yesterday with Shen, we went back home to have a rest. The day was tiring and I instantly fell asleep at home. The next day, my boss, Tsu Lian, called me and gave me a month's vacation, to rest and recover from trauma. This time, I stayed at home and was busy cleaning while Shen went away to his office. "Ruffle this area, clean this place and this one, and don't forget to arrange the flowers," she said. I was busy dusting the walls and removing the cobwebs, and I didn't realize the time. The house was being renovated and cleaned. She was making the autumnal cleansing. The house had to be clean while Shen was still working. It had to be kept a surprise. She sat down her maids and asked them to rest while, she will get out and buy ingredients for Shen Zi's autumnal cake. As she was preparing to get to her room, she was stopped by one of her young maids. "Madam, do you need some help?" s
All the eyes in the court were fixed on one person: -- Lin Zoe. Zhang You's family too was curious and were listening carefully, to see how much rubbish she could feed others with. The judge gave out all his attention to her, as well as her lawyer. Shen Zi was supporting her with his eyes full of motivation and warmth. She nodded back to him. "My honor, your highness! If I'm here today, it is to testify against Miss Zhang You. With the help of my lawyer, I will tell you what happened and when you want it, my lawyer will give facts and evidence on what I will say. I hope there will be justice upheld to everyone here today." Everyone listened and stayed calm. " If I'm accusing someone, I may also have some facts. I may leave the first things to my lawyer," she said, sitting in a nearby seat. The lawyer stood up, holding some documents, and went in front of the rest of the court. "My honor, your
