CHAPTER 139
Gao Yeemi was so shocked to see she had been left alone in the living room and hurried back on her feet, dusting her butt in response.
Her eyes dimmed in anger, crossing her arms in front of her chest and waiting for him when she heard the sound of plates clicking against each other and the clatetring of cutlery set.
Quietly, Gao Yuemi waited for his return and when Liu Xueyi did, she folded her arms underneath her bosom, waiting for his apology but to her surprise, he did nothing of the sort as he settled the plate on the dining table and walked back to the living room.
"Liu Xueyi!"
"Quiet it down," he hushed her.
"Hey, I fell you know. I am your guest, why treat me like one of those latching on ladies, huh?"
He let it a sigh, rolling his eyes at her poor performance before facing her completely.
"I asked you a question and you answered late, however, thanks for delivering the meal, but this is my turf. I usually do not appreciate unwanted visitors."
Her jaw dropped in utter shock by his words.
She knew he had a ruthless personality but hoped he had changed and would be happy to see her.
Little did she know that would not be the case this time around.
"I am sorry, Gao Yuemi if my words come out unfiltered but I appreciate the kind gestures. Maybe we can catch up some other time. I have things to do. I am busy, you know."
"Xueyi..."
"Please." This time around, his interruption was precise and cold. "And next time, do not come running to my house without permission again."
She felt so much anger swell up inside her but managed to keep everything under control and smile at him.
"I would tell aunty you sent your thanks," she smiled sweetly again. "See you."
With her charisma still intact, Gao Yuemi turned around, picked up her phone and majestically cat-walked out of his house, giving a good show of her endowed assets.
'If I do not get you today, Xue-bear, I would get you another day. I won't let any other person come steal your heart from me. I failed once and lost you. I won't fail anymore. I promise you.'

For the next two days, Liu Xueyi and Andromeda did not meet with each other.
Before he arrived at her house, she had already left very early for work and when he called, all she responded with was a text message, ignoring him completely.
At this point, Liu Xueyi was at a loss on what to do. And so that day at noon, he decided if she was going to avoid him, she most definitely would not avoid a call from her superior.
With that, he made his plan knowing full well that Andromeda would not take any of his calls.
Once he had made all arrangements, Liu Xueyi settled in his seat, allowing thoughts of the few times they had been together to wad through his brain.
***
Ring! Ring!
The sound of the telephone jolted Andromeda out of her thoughts, bringing her attention to the telephone on her desk.
She reached for the telephone, taking it up and bringing it to her ears.
Ever since she discarded thoughts of Liu Xueyi from her mind, she did her best to focus more on the production of clothes and designing.
Also, her outlook was thanks to the fact that she could race that day, even though she had not come in first, Andromeda was happy still.
"Hello, good afternoon," Andromeda greeted, waiting for the caller to respond.
"Good afternoon Miss Kia." Her brows raised up in shock when she realized who the caller was.
She did not need a second telling what those words would resonate from the messenger.
She definitely had a message to pass from Liu Xueyi. Andromeda gritted her teeth, wishing it was her normal phone she had called so she could end the call, blaming it on network services.
This time around, it was going to be had to do so.
"Ahem!" She sniffed and spoke again. "Yes, Fu Chu Hua, how may I help you?"
"Mr Liu requests your presence in his office at exactly 1 pm."
"Huh, but why does he…"
"He says you should not be late," Fu Chu Hua immediately cut in before Andromeda got the chance to argue.
Just thinking about how Liu Xueyi hollered his response at her when she jokingly asked why he didn't call her himself since it was urgent, Fu Chu Hua did not want to get on her boss' bad side anymore and relayed the message swiftly.
"But.."
"Message delivered, Miss Kai. Please try to be here on time. Thank you."
She dropped the telephone back and heaved out a deep breath.
She did not appreciate that her boss was making her suffer for all this.
She did not appreciate that his P. A would go missing when she needed saving, leaving her in the hands of her monster boss when he was angry.
She was no fool to not notice when Andromeda stepped out two days ago that something was wrong between them.
And since then, Liu Xueyi had been acting grumpy about his work. Hopefully, she felt Andromeda would be able to fix what she had begun in the first place with her presence.
That and adding to the fact that he admitted they were seeing each other, she knew they probably had a lover's fight.
But then again, who knows, her boss had stayed off women for the past few years now.
On the other hand, Andromeda was still fuming thinking of how he had probably mentally tortured his assistant and had her relay his message when she refused to get his calls.
Checking her wall clock, she noticed she still had about thirty minutes before it was 1 pm and she could mentally prepare herself for what he was going to do before she got there.
'Sigh! Liu Xueyi, since when did you become devilish?' Andromeda asked in her mind before getting back to work.
She needed to review some designs her team sent to her, show them some corrections, help them flesh them out more, bringing the work to a standard, before sending them back to them.
Aside from that, there were many other things which needed her output and playing away with Liu Xueyi wasn't part of her schedule.
Howbeit, when the thought that perhaps this was a meeting of some sort, which was why he gave her the needed time, Andromeda found her brain buzzing with thoughts.
