Chapter 52 Cold Shoulder
***************
CHAPTER 52
By the time they finished the photo shoot, Liu Xueyi walked off to sit down and relax before taking his leave.
All the while he had to bother with placing his hand on Fan Qian due to the poses given. As much as he did not like it or her person, he had to. He was an actor after all.
Bearing with it was what he did best while masking it as well.
"Oh, my gee!" Fan Qian exclaimed as she walked up to where he stood. "Did you hear the comment from the others, Ye Yuan? They said we look good together. People are calling us the perfect heartthrob couple."
Liu Xueyi froze halfway, frowning. He let out loose with a heavy sigh. She was here again.
"Ye Yuan, we should take more photo shoots. It would help promote us and give the public more gossip to talk about and make them anticipate the movie," she began.
"I read on one site, that they all want us to kiss outside the set and upload. Hahaha, they are shipping us."
"Not needed. Let them speak what they may. I have no interest in satisfying the curious minds of the public," he said bluntly and continued what he was doing on his phone.
"It is for your fans," she pushed.
"My fans know me better than that. And if I recall correctly, they would want me all to themselves. If there is anything, I think you should watch your back lest they come for you for taking pictures with their idol."
He turned his head away, picked up his car keys and was about to get up when Chao Jin-Ho walked over to the two of them.
"Ah, there you are. I was searching for you."
"If there is nothing important director, I need to leave," he said and stood to his feet.
"There is," Chao Jin-Ho said in a hurry. Please, sit. Oh and Fan Qian you need to hear this as well."
"Okay," they voiced out together, forcing a smile from Fan Qian at him but all she got was the cold shoulder, as Liu Xueyi fixed his gaze on the director.
"The movie launch would be held this weekend. I tried calling Mr Liu but I couldn't reach him. I have so much to do on set today so I cannot go over. Can you please," his eyes began to water as he played the pitiful role.
"Since Mr Liu Xueyi favours you, can you help us request the best outfit for her?"
"Her, who?"
"Me of course," Fan Qian Qian chipped in.
"For the upcoming launch. Not only would it bring out the flare of our movie and it would also promote the fashion industry. I know they are busy with the upcoming fashion line event. However, if they could, it would be good."
"Fine. I would tell him and he would contact you," Liu Xueyi agreed quickly. Anything to get him away right now would be agreed to.
"Oh, good. Thank you so much then."
"Yeah, thanks so much, Ye Yuan. I knew that even though you don't say it, you look out for me and you are protective of me." She blushed and moved her body from side to side hiding her smile.
Both Liu Xueyi and Chao Jin-Ho cast a somewhat irritated look at her.
"Do not get the wrong idea. All I do is for the betterment of the entertainment industry I work for and help promote the main company. You, on the other hand, mean nothing to me."
He averted his gaze from her and raised a brow at Chao Jin-Ho. "Director, if that is all, I would love to take my leave now."
"Oh yes. That would be all. I would keep you posted if there is a change in plans."
"I hope there isn't. I do not have the luxury of time, Director."
"Sure. Sure. Whatever you say."
He dipped his head in a bit at their director before taking his leave. Once again, he left Fan Qian to her dutiful angry self.
She was already getting tired of him acting that way to her but nothing she did matter.
Getting into his car, Liu Xueyi began to take off his disguise and directed his P.A on where to go.
"Sir, are we heading back to the company or home?"
"Umm, let us go to City's Mall. Xu Fang would have been done with his meeting and is waiting for me."
He took out his phone and true enough, he got a message from Xu Fang. "You see, he has already called. From there we would head to the company."
"Got it, sir."
Once he was done taking off his disguise, he leaned back against the seat and rested his head.
Shutting his eyes, his mind wandered back to when he saw Andromeda this morning and how shocked she was.
"Hehe," soft laughter left his lips and he shook his head. "Naughty girl," he muttered to himself.
****
By the time they arrived at the office, he walked straight off to Andromeda's office to inform her of the new arrangement and the help he would be needing.
A soft sound resounded on her door, pulling her eyes open. She had gotten so busy with reviewing most of the works the others sent and making some changes where necessary to make it stand out even more.
Aside from that, she also needed to check for the right fabric to fit the designs to bring out the clothes.
This was going to be her first major work for the Liu Apparel line and she wanted it to be exquisite and announce to the world that they have arrived.
She let out a heavy sigh and picked up her phone. '3:45 pm.' She mentally noted.
"Come in."
She watched lazily as the door knob turned and then the door pushed open. Not bothering to lift her head, thinking it was one of the fashion designers, she heaved another deep sigh and looked away.
"Yes?"
He did not utter a word to her. Instead, he took his time watching her as he strode in and shut the door behind him.
"Do not tell me I would be to blame for stressing out my Creative Director."
Her eyes flew open hearing his voice and she returned her gaze back to the door. The second they met him she flew up on her feet and lowered her head.
"Now that you cannot avoid me, Andromeda, I wonder where else you would run to?"
