Capítulo 25: Wu Bai's Rage

************

CHAPTER 25

By the time the men watching Andromeda could no longer see her, they all stopped following her and retreated to where their meeting point was.

"Boss, we lost her," one of the men wearing blacks informed.

"I see. I would inform the Big Boss of this development," the muscular man replied as he dipped his hand into his pocket to get his phone.

He tapped away on his phone and then placed it on his ear.

The three men waiting all lowered their heads when they heard the calm yet dangerous alluring voice of a lady from the other end of the phone.

"Big Boss, Good afternoon," the muscular man greeted.

"FJ," her calm voice called out.

"Boss."

"What business did you call me for today?"

"We came across the young miss after losing her before."

"Okay. What was she up to?" the lady asked with little to no interest in her tone.

"She came shopping in the veggies market with a man."

"Ah, I see the little bitch has picked up another gigolo after that useless thwart. Alright, if that is all, then I would be hanging up."

"That was not all," he interrupted her quickly.

"Oh… Is there more? You know I despise boring information," she once again, lazily reminded him.

"I do. However, while we watched her, we saw her chase after someone. The look on her face was something that caught our attention and we chased too."

Her eyes flung open and her breathing too dropped. "Tell me. Who was it?"

"We do not know exactly but…"

"But what? FJ? Talk to me. Tell me!"

"We went after her, shortly after the Young Miss lost her. We have her captured." His gaze moved, causing him to turn midway as he did one more check at his catch.

He nodded at his men before giving them a thumbs up. "Big Boss?"

"Yes?"

"What should we do? Should we drop her off somewhere and let her go or do you want to have a good look at her?"

"Fine. Send her to the warehouse. Do not let any loopholes occur and keep this properly hidden."

"Yes, Big Boss. We will. You can count on us," he assured her.

"Alright. Let me know when it is done," she ordered.

"Yes, Boss."

The ended the call and kept his phone back. Waving his hand, FJ urged his people to move it as they left.

Meanwhile, Wu Bai had done all he could to get in contact with Andromeda and anytime e he used a different number, she blocked the line.

In the end, she just stopped answering any calls in general. By now, her lawyer had come to see him but he refused to give in, pressuring that Andromeda had no right to leave him.

While she was out thinking of her life and things to do, Wu Bai was the one suffering from it.

They were going to have a new line of clothes due for the first week of the next month but now, she called things off before she submitted her designs.

He was fuming with rage when at the thought of how things were going.

BEEP! BEEP!

He tried her number again but it was the same response. It was busy. "Urrgh!"

In anger, he picked up the glass of wine on his table and threw it against the wall in rage. His hand balled into a fist at his side while the other clenched tighter on his phone.

"Andromeeeeddaaaaaa!"

His eyes narrowed as his brain thought of ways to get past this phase but he could not find anything. Finally, someone spoke.

"Sir, even without her, I believe the fashion show can still go on."

"Really? How?" He kept his back to the lady that spoke. As much as he did not need disturbance, he recalled he had company.

"We have come up with designs that can help with the event."

"Let me see," Wu Bai hurriedly stated, motioning for the person to bring it over.

Quickly, a lady in her late twenties rushed up to his side and handed him a file holding several sketches.

He spent the next two minutes going over them one after the other, hoping to see something that would elevate his spirit.

"What are you all useful for?!" Wu Bai thundered as he turned around on his heels, glaring at the men and women lined up in front of him.

"Is this what I am paying you all for? Rubbish designs?!"

They shuddered in fear when he flung the file in their faces, sending the designs scattering everywhere.

"Do you think we remain on top of the food chain? On top of the fashion world with crippled designs such as these?"

"Sir…"

"SHUT UP!" He hollered at the first lady. She too lowered her head, feeling ashamed by his rage.

His chest rose, even more, and his breathing became unsteady as his eyes burned with fury. "How dare you? So you mean to say, without Andromeda Kai, all of you are useless?"

"No sir."

"Then what is the meaning of this? Have you no brain? No motivation or what?" He asked again, looking sternly at all of them.

"We…"

"Silence! When I speak you are not to talk back. No excuses. You and your time and you failed. I think the best thing is to replace you all."

They whipped their heads up quickly as they chorused, "Sir…" Quickly they got on their knees, ready to apologise when his phone's ringtone rang out.

Letting out a deep sigh, Wu Bai averted his gaze to his phone, only to see the caller. "The lawyer."

Wasting no time, he answered the call and spoke. "Hello. Lawyer…"

"I will be direct Mr Wu," the lawyer interjected. "Miss Andromeda has threatened to file a restraining order against you and to sue you in court if you delay the termination of her contract with your company."

"What?"

"Yes. Please refrain from contacting her further. All conversations you need to say to my client should be done through me. She wished not to speak with you. Kindly respect it before things get out of hand."

"Lawyer Die Lang listen to…"

BEEP! BEEP!

Capítulo 26: Meeting Xu Fang

************

CHAPTER 26

According to their agreement, Andromeda headed first for Liu Xueyi's office as soon as she arrived at his company.

Unlike before when there was a hint of her confusion, this time, she cat-walked towards the elevator smiling as she entered.

She met a few persons going up as well but did not utter a word, ignoring the glances they stoke at her.

In her mind, they just had to deal with it. In time they would be seeing more of her as the days go by.

She arrived at the last floor and moved in the direction of his secretary's desk. A small smile adorned her lips, adding to her already beautiful face.

"Good morning."

"Morning ma. He is waiting inside," she returned her smile with a tight-lipped one.

"I see. Thank you."

Without being told, she knew he must have spoken to his secretary because she no longer had that defiant air about her and respectfully delivered her message.

Standing before the big doors, Andromeda inhaled slowly before placing a knock on the door twice.

She did not wait long for his answer as she turned on the doorknob, entered and closed it behind her.

"Good morning," she greeted, causing the stares of the two men to be averted in her direction.

To her surprise, he wasn't alone as she had expected. He had company and one exuding the same aura with more smiling charm.

Her eyes fluttered briefly, before tilting her head to the left a bit. "Should I come at another time?"

Her smile remained as she hoped he would give in to her demand but to her disappointment, he did not.

Instead, the man seated in front of him flashed a dashing smile at her.

"Good morning, Andromeda," Liu Xueyi's voice broke her out from her small investigation as she took in his friend.

"Please come in and have a seat," he offered.

"Thanks." She appreciated it and walked over. Each step taken, brought their eyes to different parts of her body, giving them time to appreciate her divine beauty.

She wore a plain blue skirt and a tucked-in lower-patterned long sleeve shirt with a small blue shawl she neatly tied around her neck. Her hair was left to cascade down her back, giving her the look of a nymph.

She wore matching white sandal heels and a white handbag. She left her ears and neck free of any jewellery but complemented with her white wristwatch.

The simplistic approach to her design plus how magnificently she looked, made Liu Xueyi suck in a deep breath.

"You look lovely," he complimented as she took her seat.

"Thanks, boss."

"I believe," Xu Fang began, "I have not had the honour of officially meeting this gorgeous beauty, have I?"

"Ah, yes. I have not done the intros." He smiled at his friend, giving him the warning look of 'do not dare try nonsense.'

Being who he was Xu Fang smiled back at him, beaming his daring smirk in the process.

That look simply told Liu Xueyi that he was going to try something stupid.

"Andromeda, please meet my friend and business partner, Xu Fang. Well, he is the vice CEO of Liu Corporation," Liu Xueyi introduced, gesturing at Xu Fang.

She smiled, waiting for him to conclude the introduction. "And Xu Fang, this is Andromeda Kai, my new top designer."

His cheek puffed at aside, revealing a bit of tooth as he extended his hand for a shake at his side.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Kai."

"The pleasure is mine, Mr Xu."

Not only did Xu Fang fail to let go of her hand, but he also leaned closer, pulling her hand a bit as he dipped in his head, placing a soft kiss on the back of her palm.

Her smile brightened at his gesture. It was obvious he had his way with girls and was a nice flatterer.

While she smiled at the gesture and did not think too much about it, Liu Xueyi was shooting the best-smiling glares he could at Xu Fang.

"Huh… Can I have my hands back," Andromeda voiced out first before Liu Xueyi got the chance to.

"Oh yes. I got mesmerized by your dazzling look that I forgot time did not stop," Xu Fang explained. He let go of her hand and straightened in his seat before turning to face Liu Xueyi.

Liu Xueyi who was taken aback by his friend's boldness was about eye talk him down when Andromeda too turned to face him.

"I believe I can start now. Are there any things I need to know before I begin?"

"No." He abruptly stated, retaining his smile. The corners of his eyes formed wrinkles and relaxed soon enough when he managed to compose himself, ignoring the look Xu Fang gave him.

"Just that… I expect great things from you here."

"Okay if that is all…"

"No," he interjected. "I would take you to your team to introduce you and then you can start."

"If it is no bother, I would love to observe them for a day or two. Why not have someone take me there as an intern or just a junior staff or something."

Both Liu Xueyi and Xu Fang had their brows crease at her request.

Noticing this, she explained. "You see I want to know who my people are first. Even more so I need to know the truth and their working style. I do not like working with pretenders and for this to work and succeed."

"I see. Nice plan, Ms Kai. Simply put, to know your people, you need to work with them without class and favouritism or rank as an obstacle."

"And to also to know what their opinion about you is," am I right?" Liu Xueyi questioned.

"Yes. You both are. Now that you know, would you grant me my request?"

"I would. Know your teams. I need the best designs coming out by Monday. You can keep your disguise till Wednesday when you have to reveal yourself. Understood?"

"Got it, Mr Liu. Thank you."

"Anytime." He stood up, and so did she. "I would send the Public Relations Department Manager to take you there. Have a lovely first day of work."
