CHAPTER 57

He walked past the two of them, completely ignoring her pained expression.

"Liu Xue…" Fang Qian did not get to complete her sentence when she felt the air about him change and he cast a glare in her direction.

He turned his head sideways to look at her. "I do not like repeating myself. I deal with Chao Jin-Ho, not you."

As much as Andromeda wished for this day to be over, she needed to work. So while she got everyone cleared out, she began to work on the outfit before Liu Xueyi's arrival.

She had just started working and needed to save up more for her future goals. Having him cut down on her salary for disobedience was not what she wanted.

'Phew! I may just find other ways to get back at him. That Liu Xueyi is too much trouble.'

Knock! Knock!

Her eyes flew straight for the door. She did not get to say come in, before he let himself in.

"Hello How is my daring employee doing?"

Her cheerful smile was all the answer she could give him. Indeed, the devil was not joking when he said he was coming.

His gaze swept across the room before landing on her person. "I see you cleared out the room for us."

She stood up and walked to the front of her desk. "Nope. I cleared it out, for my peace of mind," Andromeda stated.

"Hmm, why do I feel you are trying to get me off from my quest of punishing you?" He asked assessing her as he closed the gap between them.

"Nothing. Besides, you cannot cut off from my…"

"60% now."

"What, Liu Xueyi, I think you are biting off more than you can chew. On what basis are you making such deduction?" she asked folding her arms in front of her chest.

"On the basis that I am the boss." His eyes twinkled with delight as a slow smile worked its way through his face, into his eyes. "Got a problem?"

He leaned closer than before and once again she got trapped between him and her desk.

'Why do I get a feeling of Déjà vu happening again?' Andromeda sighed within.

"However, if you behave and make this dress, I would forget your ill speaking and forgive you." She was about to release her breath when his cold wandering eyes flew back to hers.

"But, my two favours remain."

She so much wanted to refute him but given their current poise, she accepted his offer and nodded his head. Anything to get him from being naughty and her sensitive heart from beating too fast.

"Good. I thought I should clarify that." He stepped back and fixed his tie, before turning away. "Have a lovely day, Miss Kai."

Minutes turned to hours and hours turned to days, Soon it was already the day for the movie launch.

Several business people were invited for it the event and Andromeda, ensured she was not one of them.

She heaved out a heavy sigh before walking over to her table. Due to the design picked, she had to get 100 peacock feathers and ensured they were perfectly added to the outfit.

This had delayed her work a bit but being who she was, she had it all finished that morning and delivered to Fang Qian.

As much as she wanted to see it on the actress, she couldn't care less. It was better to avoid her bitchiness than gain a headache.

Her fingers went to work in gathering her files and sketchbook. It was already the weekend and more importantly, she was looking forward to a time full of rest.

THUD!

Her eyes trailed where the sound had come from only to see the file that Lawyer Chang had sent her. "Oh."

She bent low and picked it up, before fixing the documents inside and dusting it. She had been too busy this past week after she was handed the document that she left on her table.

The more she stared at the file, her mind seemed to have betrayed her and taken her down memory lane to the times when things were good. Or so she thought.

As if her mental state hasn't been damaged enough she recalled the voices of both Wu Bai and Beatrice Zhang in her head. Instantly she cringed from the thought.

Listening to them that night had indeed changed her life forever. As thankful as she was, she still felt so much rage that the useless ex of hers, made her lose her virginity to a stranger.

No matter how forgiving she became, she could not forgive him for all that occurred to her.

"Well, it is the weekend, I might as well celebrate cutting off from you completely, Wu Bai," thought out loud and finished up with her arrangement.

By the time she was done, she cast one last glance at the office and left. Due to the launch, most of the top executives had left the company on time that day, leaving her to herself.

***

At the movie launch, several cars filed into the compound as men and women of ages, both young and old highlighted from it and made their way to the entrance.

The second a black Limousine arrived in front of the red carpet, one of the men in suits walked over and opened the door for the passenger to step out. Immediately, all the reporters fixed their cameras and gazed at the car in earnest expectation.

Without being told and they knew whoever was highlighting that car was going to be someone important.

They did not have to wait though as the next moment, a pair of legs cladded in black mesh lace up strappy sandals open toe stiletto gold heels landed majestically on the floor.

No sooner the main cast pushed herself out and stood before the crowd of people.

Flashlights sparkled in her direction, pulling more attention at her while everyone watched a perfect smile form on her face.

Jaws dropped and eyes popped wide open at the beautiful gown she wore.
