CHAPTER 159
Tactfully, Andromeda ensured she handled the issue properly and not wanting to lose her, Liu Xueyi agreed to what she said.
Deep down though, he had other plans. He was going to make her his whether she loved it or not.
And of course, he knew she would love it. After all, she did let him kiss her at will.
Luckily for Andromeda, she escaped him that day and her lips remained calm and free. However, she knew she may not be lucky next time so she focused more on work.
Thankfully, when she planned on getting back on track with her plans on what to do, her assistant, Peng Xiaoli gave her a surprising call.
Earlier, she ensured Peng Xiaoli remained at Wu Bai's company should in case she got any news about their company or plans.
So having seen her call, Andromeda felt her heart beat go faster than normal as she reached for her phone to take the call.
"Hello, Xiaoli. How are you?" Her lips tugged upward into a charming smile as she leaned back into her seat to have a nice conversation.
"Good morning, mam. I am fine and you?"
"Morning. Well, things are going okay for now. Orders reduced but not so much. Turns out some persons are still up for wearing nice outfits," she joked, letting out a peal of soft laughter, throwing her head back a bit as she lifted her fingers to her forehead, massaging at her temples.
"Sure. Only those who truly know you and appreciate your talent know what a mad genius you are."
"Hhahaa, you flatter me, Xiaoli. Tell me, did you miss me or do you have some sweet news to please my ears today?"
"What do you think mam?"
"I believe you have something for me and I would be delighted to hear it. What flop has Beatrice Zhang made?"
A sweet-toothed smile appeared on Peng Xiaoli's face as she recalled the good news she had to say.
"Xiaoli?"
"Oh, sorry mam," she shook her head, riding her brain from her thoughts and decided to focus.
"I happened to pass when I saw Miss Zhang storming angrily towards her office. Without being told, I knew once something was up."
"Alright. Did you find out what exactly it was?"
"Yes. I eavesdropped," she giggled at the thought of doing something bad. Andromeda could do nothing but shake her head at her assistant's behaviour.
"Okay, sorry ma'am," Peng Xiaoli said, clearing her throat. "I overheard her when she was on a call."
"Okay…?"
"I am sorry but I think she is planning to make a steal," Peng Xiaoli informed.
"Steal of what?"
"Your designs."
"But my designs are… she would get faulted if she does that."
"No, Miss Kai. I mean she plans on stealing sketches of your unproduced work."
Andromeda's eyes darkened upon hearing that news. Beatrice Zhang had used her to maintain the status quo, earning the title of best designer for five years and even now she had left her clutches, she wished to steal from her.
Her hand balled into a fist on the table as she managed to take in deep breaths.
"Miss Kai, I completely understand your frustration but I believe with this information, we can get revenge a bit."
"Sure. Thanks for the information. Now I need to ensure I make the proper arrangements for their first point of attack."
"Yes. I think she would find it hard to target your office and since she cannot do that, your home would be her next point of interest."
"Yeah. Actually, it would be her only point of interest. Do not worry, since it is the sketch she wants, I would give her just that. Thanks, Xiaoli. I would bring you over to work in Liu Corporation and be with me soon."
"No worries ma. Actually, I would prefer to stay here a little while longer. It would be beneficial to you just like this case."
"Alright. But anytime they treat you wrongly, inform me, and I would take you out of there instantly."
"Yes ma'am. Have a nice day. Bye."
As soon as the call dropped, Andromeda placed her phone on her desk, allowing her mind to travel far in her plan.
She spent a few more minutes pondering on the matter thoroughly and when she had come to a conclusion, she smiled and decided to do the needful.
Picking up a new sketchbook from her drawer, she opened it, took her pencil and began to draw.
*****
Having made the necessary preparations needed to get what she wanted, Beatrice Zhang placed a call through to Jin.
She barely had time anymore and she needed to make her attack fast.
"Hello, Jin," her pitched voice rang out as she pushed her body into a proper sitting position.
"Good day Miss Zhang."
"Yes. I have made everything set. And checked properly with timing and all the other necessary details. You can sneak into her house at noon to get me those sketches."
"Okay. I got it."
"Yes. No matter what, do not get caught by anyone. Just slip in and slip out without any worries. You are covered by security. Nothing would happen, alright?"
"I know. You have nothing to worry about. By evening tomorrow, those sketches would be in your hands."
"Good. That would be all. I would inform you if there is anything, should any new things occur."
"Alright."
She ended the call feeling more accomplished and a certain weight lifted off her shoulders.
She had spent a great deal in ensuring everything was put in place, like getting the duplicate of Andromeda's keys and making all preparations ready.
Now that everything was set, she felt thrilled about the fact that she could rest and wait for the sketches to come to her.
'At least, Wu Bai would see that I can still be useful. Whether or not Andromeda is here, it doesn't matter. This company shall remain on the rise. And with the new fashion show, our designs would be put first and she would be left to forgo her designs.'
A sinister smile flashed in her eyes as she bit down on her lower lip happily.
'My revenge isn't far anymore, Andromeda Kai.'
