Best thing ever happened to me

Waiting for almost 20 minutes in a private booth of a famous restaurant, she saw Zhang Bai gracefully walking towards her. Smiling, both the girls embraced eachother, trying to convey everything in the hug.

But knowing it was not possible Zhao Ling whispered.

"I am so sorry.... I couldn't bear to keep contact with anyone here after what happened to me."

Breaking their embrace Zhang Bai clutched Zhao Ling's shoulder, tears splashing her front. As she spoke a little hoarsely.

" Its ohkay and I am not angry.... come on let's sit."

As they sat down ordering from the menu, Zhao Ling shared everything with her bestfriend.

When she finished, Zhang Bai was crying in full force as the girls were feeling eachother emotions. Calming herself Zhang Bai asked Zhao Ling.

"So you married, one of the powerful CEO, Lu Cong."

"yup."

"How can you marry a person who is so cold by heart."

"No... he is not cold,I think he is one of the best things that ever happened to me."

Defending her husband, Zhao Ling said it rather defensively. As Zhang Bai replied to her.

"wow....it's just been a day you have married, and you are already taking his side. That's not like you."

"Because, he is different with others and different at home."

Thinking that her bestfriend was totally smitten by her new husband, a rather shocked Zhang Bai argued.

"oh really...have you seen him talking to others?"

Thinking about Zhang Bai's question, she answered thoughtfully.

"He is a president of that company, if he is not cold enough for others then I don't know if he is best or not, if he has to maintain his power he has to show some coldness."

Agreeing to Zhao Ling, they changed their subject to different topics as these bestfriends enjoyed themselves.

It was almost four in the evening and Zhao Ling was sitting with Zhang Bai in her car.

Dropping Zhao Ling at her firm 'LiChen'. Zhang Bai wished her best luck and went to her house.

As she entered LiChen, she saw that not a thing was changed, it was just the same as before, no changes were seen.

Smiling she entered the firm when she saw Li Bo's assistant smiling at her, going towards her she asked,

" I have an appointment with Li Bo."

Nodding the assistant took her to the senior lawyer and firm's head Li Bo's office on 3rd floor.

As she entered his office, she saw him working on his computer.

Seeing her after a long time, he felt quite reliefed, she didn't know but their firm was going through a power struggle so he needed her by his side. He smiled at her, standing he hugged her and then he shaked her hand as he made her sit on of the chairs.

" I am so glad to have you back."

Smiling Zhao Ling slightly blushed as she replied him.

" So am I Attorney Li.... I would love to once again work with you."

Giving a nodding approval he told her.

"Your office is yours, and I would love to introduce you to the new vice President after you settle."

"Yes...I would love to meet her, when should I join?"

As she asked him, he thought for a while before answering her.

"you can join from next week.....take a rest for 4 days and then join me."

Thinking how she got her job back and how the people still respected her, made her heart warm towards every person in the firm. Meeting her old friends in her firm, and talking to them about there cases and wins, they made her believe that she actually deserved happiness so she decided that, she will give Lu Cong and herself a chance for love.

It was almost six, and everyone was leaving for a drink as they asked her to join them, telling them to wait for a minute, she called Lu Cong. Picking up her call in 3 rings, he answered.

"Have you completed?"

"Actually my friends are going for a drink, what do you suggest?"

"Go with them and message me the address of the bar, I'll pick you up in 45 minutes."

Hearing him a smile automatically danced on her lips as she said bye and kept the phone.

She and some of her friend entered the bar, messaging Lu Cong the address, they ordered beer for everyone, celebrating Zhao Ling's return. Laughing and enjoying she was on her 4th glass when Lu Cong arrived. Picking up his phone he asked her.

"I am waiting outside for you.....come out."

Giggling she replied.

" really.... really good,wait.....wait for me."

As he heard her, he realised that she must have had beer beyond her capacity, getting down from his car he entered the bar searching for his small wife. As he heard a high pitch giggled which sounded like his wife, he turned were he saw her laughing with her friends. Going upto her and tapping her shoulders he told her.

"We are leaving....tell your friends and wrap up."

Frowning at Lu Cong she whispered 'control freak' to herself, as she waved at everyone. pulling her towards the exit of the bar, she almost puked.

Cleaning her mouth, he marched them outside and made her sit in the car as he thought to himself that definitely this woman was changing his life.
