CHAPTER 105
Wu Bai still had a hard time seeing the lady he had treated anyhow being a top star in someone else's hands.
He watched in shock as Andromeda and Liu Xueyi displayed a sense of closeness when they gave the traditional hug and peck before he stepped back, to offer her to the audience.
"Good evening everyone. My name is Andromeda Kai, nice to meet you," she politely introduced herself with that sweet coquettish tone of hers.
Her smile broadened until a dimple appeared while waiting for the onslaught of questions they had in store for her.
Just as she had imagined, the moment the one minute of silence passed away, it was like a fire had been set in their bones and straight away, they bombarded her with questions.
But unlike the press, most were reasonable and the best which she answered came from Yu Bao. She was shocked to see him there when he thoughtfully asked, "What inspired your design, Miss Kai?"
Her smile swindled a bit while she brought both hands to the front, placing one over the other.
"What inspired my work was the fact that I wanted to bring out the boldness in fashion and in everyone."
"Do you mind elaborating please?" Yu Bao prompted further.
"Sure." She agreed before returning her gaze to the silent crowd, "everyone is a star, whether dimly placed or brightly placed. All that remains is your fashion sense to bring out the radiance in you and make you a rising star. Hence, the meaning of our theme, Estrella Naciente."
"Thank you," he dipped his head as a sign of respect for her and with that, he stood on his feet.
His admiring gaze sent a warm smile to her lips as she watched him take his leave.
Even if no one was pleased with her design that evening, just having the top fashion critique come to the show and even admire her, she felt her heart was going to burst any second from there.
After that, the show ended and everyone proceeded to the red carpet. Many reporters took this time to bombard her with questions again.
Amongst the different kinds of people who wanted to speak with her, Wu Bai secretly watched from a corner, waiting for an opportunity to steal her time.
The second he saw an older-looking woman walking up to Andromeda, he swooped in and pulled her by the hand with him, wanting to take her someplace private.
Unknown to him, Andromeda had suspected something like this was bound to happen and readied herself in case he did something stupid and he did.
He pulled her close to a wall at the balcony of the building while his towering figure loomed over her, preventing any sort of escape if she planned on thinking about one.
"Andromeda." She saw the in-depth look of pain in those beady brown eyes of his.
Regardless, Andromeda could care less about what he felt at this point.
"What do you want, Wu Bai? What gives you the right to pull me from that place?" She questioned with so much audacity, folding her arms and showing just how displeased she was with his act.
"Andromeda. How can you hurt me like this? Out of everywhere to work in, Liu Corporation? You know they are my rival. Do you want me to go under?"
A shrieked sarcastic laugh tore through her throat as she stared at him deep in the eyes.
"Why should I care? And like you said, he's 'your rival' not mine, or have you forgotten you used me for your own selfish gains?"
"No, Andromeda. You got this all wrong. I love you. I never want to hurt you. It is Liu Xueyi you should be wary of. He is not to be trusted."
This time around she did not hide the next round of laughter and poured it out in amusement.
"When the pot calls the kettle black. Can you be any stupid and self-centered, Wu Bai? Love? Does your love for me include sleeping with your top designer or?"
"No. I did not, believe me."
Immediately her wanton smile dropped, replaced by a look of sheer hatred. "Get out. Out of my life and out of my face!"
He blinked in confusion. He had hoped that speaking to her like this would work but it seemed he needed to prove his love for her in a better way.
Before Andromeda got even the tiniest bit of chance to push him away, he leaned down and forced his lips on hers, initiating a kiss. This singular action of his had warranted an angry Andromeda to take actions into her hand.
She pushed his face away, landing a hot slap on his cheeks!
"You son of a b-" she barely got a chance to complete her bitter words when he landed his lips on hers again, roughly forcing the kiss on her with added pressure which only filled Andromeda's heart with disgust!
She tried shoving him off, unwilling to stand such an act but she was no match for his manly strength.
Just when she thought she couldn't escape from this sickening predicament….
Wu Bai was suddenly pulled away from her with such force that it startled her and kept her frozen against the wall.
A force and might she wasn't even expecting and right before her eyes, she witnessed the fury burning brightly in Liu Xueyi's eyes as his angry gaze remained locked on Wu Bai who had still not recovered from the unexpected pull.
"You Bastard!" And a heavy punch landed straight on Wu Bai's face, giving him no time to calculate his move and what he felt was the instant pain of being punched as he toppled to the ground.
A quick gasp escaped from Andromeda's lips at the sight of Liu Xueyi's act, she was still having a rough time recovering from Wu Bai's forced kiss, then Liu Xueyi's presence and now this??
Slowly, she returned her gaze to Wu Bai who literally got punched as he touched the corner of his lips when he felt it sting and his fingers got stained with blood.
He was bleeding.
A chuckle escaped from his lips as he met the deadly gaze of Liu Xueyi. "You couldn't wait until I've made her mine could you?"
