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.
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
