CHAPTER 54
Ever since Liu Xueyi informed her about the movie launch, Andromeda invested all her time in getting the much-needed materials to carry off the design and make it something to remember.
Although he said the outfit was okay, she watched the trailer of the movie and even read about it.
Luckily she had a better insight into the movie and also a way to add more changes to give the gown the vibe of a no-nonsense female.
Without telling Liu Xueyi, she made her new drawing and kept it on her iPad, away from his prying eyes.
It was already Wednesday and all that she needed for the outfit was ready. What was missing was the person to be measured.
She was informed by Liu Xueyi that morning of Fang Qian's visit to the company just to have her measurement taken and the production to commence with immediate effect.
"Ma," one of the new fashion designers present walked up to her and lowered her head. "I was told by the receptionist that Actress Fang Qian Qian has arrived and has been shown her way here."
"Oh, I see." She smiled at the young lady and nodded her head. Unlike the others, she was one of the most talented fashion designers, Andromeda had working under her, but her humility was on another level.
Just watching the girl, she felt reminded of herself and also reminded of those snakes who had been a thorn in her flesh when she arrived newly.
"Please meet her at the elevator and usher her in, Jian Xiao-Fei."
"Yes, ma."
She smiled at the girl as she took to her leave. Casting her gaze around, her cheeks puffed up in a satisfying silent smile. With the products in hand, she could not wait for the dress to be made. It would be a jewel indeed.
Not up to three minutes after Jian Xiao-Fei left, she returned with someone walking behind her.
Without further ado, Andromeda dropped her sketchbook and pencil on the desk close by in the big room and went to meet them.
"Ma, Miss Fang Qian," Jian Xiao-Fei introduced and moved to the side to grant Andromeda better access to the young woman.
The moment Andromeda's eyes landed on her, she could tell with one glance that she was going to be trouble.
Standing before her was the young actress and princess of Liu's entertainment industry.
She had her right leg brought in front of her left and slightly raised, showing off her shimmering black gown and sparkling gold heels while fitting her upper body into a stylish pose like one in a photoshoot.
If her pose was one thing, it wasn't as annoying as the one she placed her head in.
She had her chin raised slightly while she watched everyone else from beneath her lashes like they mattered not and were nothing but tools ready to be served.
At that moment for Andromeda, specific words resounded in her mind. 'She is beautiful, gorgeous, hot, talented, saucy, men flock around her, she always gets what she wants and runs the acting world.'
Those were what she had read about her on one gossip site. How she had wandered there when she was reading about the female character of the book remained a mystery but she got wind of her character.
Being one of a good heart, Andromeda felt they were rumours to try and defame the lovely actress but seeing her today, Andromeda could only blame her good two shoe heart.
'One thing they failed to add was that she treats others like they were beneath her.' She noted in her mind.
"Umm, aren't you going to welcome me?" She heard the not so sonorous voice of the young princess ask her.
"My apologies." If there was one thing, she may have licked these lady's feet when she was at Wu Bai's company just to please him but now, not anymore.
She threw that away the moment she ditched him at the altar. This girl was no longer na?ve nor beneath anyone.
"Welcome, Fang Qian, come in, we shall proceed with taking your measurements."
Even Jain Xiao-Fie was shocked that Andromeda did not please the actress the way she had hoped and went straight to business.
"What?"
"Huh, last I recall, the event is this Friday night. I have limited time to make a masterpiece. I do not have time to play. So, shall we proceed, Miss Fang?"
"Do you know who I am? Where is the juice or wine that I would be offered and a seat before we discuss anything?" Fang Qian asked.
"All discussions have been done with Mr Liu. And this is not a party centre or a restaurant. If you want your drinks, you can have your manager get them for you."
Ignoring the look in her eyes, she turned to face Jian Xiao-Fei, "Please, get the things ready. I would proceed now."
She walked away to check on the others working under her, giving Fan Qian a bit of time to get herself together.
Being ignored was not one thing she was used to and Andromeda did that with ease. She scoffed and took off her shades, glaring at the retreating figure of Andromeda Kai.
'The nerve this wannabe fashion designer has. I do not blame anyone but Liu Xueyi for having her attend to me. Is this how he values me?'
She turned her head around, searching for the one person that would worship her. Not far off she caught sight of a young man and beckoned to him.
"Hello," her mischievous smile brightened at him. "Huh, you see, I am just arriving from a shoot. And I am a bit thirsty. Do you happen to have somewhere I can get a drink?"
"Oh yes, ma. What would you want? Water or coffee?" She managed to keep her smile. "Or tea?"
'Seriously? Are only dimwits the people who work here? Tsk, at least he seems to fawn over me. I can just make use of him for now till I meet Liu Xueyi.'
With those wicked thoughts, she shook her head. "Oh no. My skin is delicate and so is my voice. How about a wine?"
"This place isn't a club, Miss Fang, please we can only offer you a lemonade. You can either take it or leave it," Jian Xiao Fei announced and offered her a drink.
