Heart's Return, Love Continues

Chapter One Return

　　In the bustling streets of Shanghai, Elise makes her way through the crowds with confident grace. Her long, flowing hair dances in the wind as she approaches the glass doors of the office building.
　　Inside, her former colleagues eagerly await her arrival, anxious to bid her farewell. They know that this day marks the end of an era, as Elise has decided to pursue new opportunities in a different part of the world.
　　With delicate features and a radiant smile, Elise has always been the epitome of grace and warmth. Her amiable nature has endeared her to her colleagues, making her a popular figure in the company.
　　As she enters the office, a wave of excitement sweeps through the room. Colleagues flock to her, eager to catch her attention and share a final moment with her.
　　Elise embraces each and every one of her colleagues, cherishing these final moments of connection. She whispers words of encouragement and gratitude, assuring them that although her physical presence will be absent, her heart will always remain with them. Her genuine affection for her colleagues touches their hearts, making it even harder for them to say goodbye.
　　Amidst the commotion, Elise notices her close friend and confidante, Li Mei. With tears welling up in her eyes, Li Mei clutches onto Elise tightly, not wanting to let go. "Elise, I can't believe you're leaving," she says, her voice filled with a mix of sadness and excitement. "You've been such a source of inspiration for all of us. The office won't be the same without you."
　　Elise smiles through her own tears, her voice filled with emotion. "Li Mei, you know I will always be just a phone call away. Our friendship transcends borders and distance. I am leaving, but a piece of my heart will always remain here with you and our colleagues."
　　As the day unfolds, Elise finds herself engaged in one meaningful conversation after another. Her colleagues express their admiration for her work ethic, her dedication, and her ability to effortlessly connect with people from different walks of life. They recount fond memories of projects they have worked on together, their voices filled with nostalgia and gratitude.
　　One by one, Elise's former colleagues approach her, sharing their thoughts and well wishes. There is Mark, the jovial team leader who always managed to keep the office spirit high, even on challenging days. "Elise, you've been the backbone of this team," he says, his voice filled with genuine appreciation. "Your attention to detail and your ability to handle any situation with grace and composure is truly remarkable. We will miss you dearly."
　　Elise's eyes well up with tears as she absorbs Mark's heartfelt words. She takes a moment to compose herself before responding. "Thank you, Mark. Your leadership and guidance have been invaluable to me. I am grateful for every opportunity I had to learn and grow under your tutelage. I will carry the lessons I've learned here with me, always."
　　As the day draws to a close, her mentor comes to bid farewell. Waiting for her is the slanted-eyed man who mentored her, shaped her into what she is today. Of course, it hasn’t been easy, it was quite a journey that Elise will forever remember.
　　Her mentor piercing gaze locks onto Elise as he enters the room. His expression softens, and a genuine smile appears on his face. "Elise, my dear," he says, extending his hand. "It has been an absolute pleasure working with you. Your presence in our company has been invaluable, and your departure is bittersweet. "
　　Elise accepts his handshake and returns the smile, her voice filled with gratitude. "I am eternally grateful for the opportunities you have given me. Working under your leadership has been an incredible experience. Your belief in my abilities has propelled me to reach new heights. I will always carry the lessons I've learned from you as I scour the other parts of the world."
　　Her Mentor nods, his eyes filled with pride. "Elise, I have no doubt that wherever you go, you will flourish. The impact you have made here will be felt for years to come. Remember, we are always here for you, should you ever choose to return."
　　As Elise walks away from her conversation with her mentor, a mix of emotions swirl around her. It is both exciting and daunting to step into the unknown, leaving behind the familiar and embracing change.
　　But amidst the uncertainties, Elise carries with her the warmth and support of her former colleagues, the memories of shared successes, and the confidence that she is capable of conquering whatever comes her way.
　　It was indeed a memorable journey, a journey that shaped her life into what it is now.
　　Meanwhile, in UK, a sharp-eyed man strides into the conference room, his amber eyes, blank and his long arms in his pocket. Chiseled Jaw, broad shoulders, a lean but well proportioned body… this features is quite common among handsome men, however, it was quite easy to recognize the man who just came in.
　　The famous Noel Lipson.
　　Noel Lipson is the famous CEO and chairman of Shallow group, the man who built the Shallow empire with his innate talent. Also the self-made elite who relied on his extraordinary talent to build the famous business legend from nothing.
　　He's widely praised and well known for his talent in the business, however, despite his likeable talent, there are still dome people who despised him for his success.
　　Why did they hate him Why did they despise his success so much
　　Noel Lipson, unlike other CEO’s of business groups, didn’t come from a prominent family. In fact, Shallow group was built from the scratch by himself and his two friends.
　　Their project only had 10% success rate then, even Noel’s friends didn’t believe Shallow group would go public. However, Noel believed in the 10% success rate and eventually, Shallow group went public.
　　And now, the self-made elite is widely known in the business world, his talent proving to the whole world that he deserved what he is now.
