CHAPTER 55

The malicious look in Jian Xiao-Fei's eyes hidden behind that pretentious smile told Fang Qian she wasn't welcomed there. Being who she was, she shrugged it off.

"Fine. I would accept it. Where is that fashion designer? The quicker we take the measurements, the faster I can crawl out of this hole."

Without picking up the drink, Fang Qian pointed at the young man. "You."

"Yes ma, my name is.."

"Whatever," she interjected. "Just pick this up and follow me." His smile faded by her actions but he yielded and did as she asked.

"Bleh bleh bleh. Whatever," Jian Xiaofei mimicked after her and managed to hold in her laugher. "Queen bee my foot," she muttered under her breath.

As much as Fang Qian heard her, she did not want to stoop so low to meddle with Xiaofei and walked over to one of the high chairs in the room.

"I heard you." Jian Xiaofei jolted in shock when she felt icy stares behind her in addition to that devilish voice of her boss.

Knowing Andromeda well, Jian Xiao-Fei knew she used that voice when she wants to deal with someone.

"Hehhee, boss," she smiled guiltily at her as she turned to face her boss, who had a cunning expression on her face.

"Stop being naughty and come, we have work to do," Andromeda scolded her as she walked off to meet Fang Qian.

It took her barely fifteen minutes and she was done measuring and managing the annoying quirks of Fang Qian.

All Andromeda had to do was give her a silent ear and she could handle her very easily.

Just watching her, Jian Xiao-Fei admired how professional Andromeda was. Even when Fang Qian asked about the design of the cloth and what it would look like. She smiled at her and showed her.

At first, she had said it would be a surprise but when Fang Qian kept on nagging, stating how she could not wear anything beyond her status and would not look bad in the eyes of others.

But when Andromeda showed her the design, she had a hint of a smile on her lips and masked it quickly.

Instead of appreciating the beauty, she picked on the choice of design but when Andromeda made mentioned Liu Xueyi personally choosing the design, her approval changed instantly.

"All done. You can take your leave," Andromeda announced and handed over the tape to Jian Xiaofei.

"What? Are you chasing me now?" Fang Qian asked.

"No. But I believe you said the quicker, the faster you can leave."

"Yes, I did but I.." she paused, searching her brain for the perfect excuse.

"You must be tired, Miss Fang," the young man from earlier said, helping her out.

"Exactly. I am tired."

"I see. I am sorry. You can rest at home or anywhere. This is not a resting centre. I have work and would not want any disturbance whatsoever. So, please Miss Fang if you would excuse me, I would like you to take your leave."

Even with the smile on her face, Andromeda did not hide the fact that she did not like Fang Qian.

While Fang Qian felt she was important, she did not know that Andromeda only put up with her because of Liu Xueyi. So, when she asked for him, Andromeda was the first to send her off to his office.

"Just take the elevator and press the last floor then when you get there, you can find your way to Mr Liu's office."historical

She lifted her eyelashes several times at Andromeda, assessing her to see if she told a lie but when she looked at the young man helping her and got a silent nod, she believed.

"Fine.. I bet he would be more welcoming and happier to have me visit him."

"Then please, let's not keep Mr Liu waiting."

She scoffed before turning on her heels and exiting the room, leaving the others to their work.

Once the door shut close, Jian Xiaofei was the first to rush to Andromeda's side before she got busy. "Boss."

"Yes?" Andromeda asked, sternly fixing her gaze on the door as though the high and mighty Fang Qian would be back.

"Why did you send her off to the CEO's office without informing him? You know he can be grouchy at times and given his nature. I bet she would disturb him."

Sensing the girl's worry, she turned to face her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Then let him handle it. After all, he was the one who brought her to me."

"You do not understand, Boss A. I am afraid he would blame you and make things difficult for you."

"Do not worry. When I get to that bridge, I would cross it."

She had no fear whatsoever. If there was one thing she had learned in her few days of being here, it was the fact that Liu Xueyi hated disturbances, especially from girls.

Now, if Fang Qian wanted to be embarrassed, who better than him to do it?

***

Following the directions Andromeda gave her, finding Liu Xueyi's office was an easy feat and when she arrived in front of his secretary, that was when her battle began.

"Hello, I want to see Mr Liu," she requested straight off.

Peeling her gaze from the file in front of her desk, she smiled at Fang Qian. "I am sorry, please may I know who you are?" Fu Chu Hua asked.

An exasperated sigh fell from her lips. She had expected everyone to know who she was but it seemed as though they did not know or simply did not care.

"It seems as though I am not well publicised in Liu's company for everyone to treat me indifferently."

As she spoke, she took off her glasses and gave a weak smile to the secretary.

On seeing her, Fu Chu Hua's jaw dropped as she lifted a finger at her. "Y-You... You're... Oh my, you are Fang Qian!" she half-squealed.

"Finally, someone knows me. Good. You know who I am, inform Mr Liu I am here to see him."

Immediately, Fu Chu Hua managed to calm her nerves and act professionally. She did not think properly about the request carefully and dialled his number.

She felt since it was Liu entertainment's number one actress, then, by all means, Mr Liu would not mind.

"Hello?"

"Sir, pardon me for disturbing but Miss Fang Qian is here to see you," Fu Chu Hua informed.

"See me? Did she not go to meet the Creative Director or did she get lost?" Liu Xueyi asked.

"Sorry sir, I am not aware of..."

"Send her off," he cut in without mercy.

"Sir?"

"I am busy. I do not want to see anyone. Show her the way to the creative director's office if she has not had her measurement taken."

"But sir..."

Beep!

Being used to his behaviour, she managed to not show any of her reactions on her face. Being the expert that she was, she dropped the telephone and smiled at Fang Qian.

"So, I can go in?"

"I am afraid no."

"What? What do you mean by no?"
