BXBX NOVEL Chapter 233 Angry Andromeda
***************
CHAPTER 233
Before Andromeda got the chance to say anything, her phone screen lit up and buzzed on her desk, cutting her short as it succeeded in drawing their attention to it.
Slowly, both ladies averted their gaze from the phone and brought it to the other person.
Before Andromeda could react, Jian Xiaofei pressed her lips together and lifted her shoulders in a shrug.
"I am guessing it is important," she stated sensing Andromeda\'s hesitation.
Why both of them had hesitated remained not a shock because the caller was an unknown number.
"Sure. Let me see for myself then."
She pushed closer on her chair to the side of her desk where the phone was as her hands reached for the telephone.
"Taking it up, Andromeda calmly politely questioned, "Hello?"
Even Jian Xiaofei felt captivated instantly by her professional, yet not so uptight tone.
"Hello, Miss Kai, it is me, Peng Xiaoli," she informed her immediately.
"Peng, Xiaoli?" Andromeda questioned.
Her brows furrowed deeply as her eyes wondered, telling of the confusion in her head. "Xiaoli?"
"Yes, Miss."
"Why are you calling me with an unknown number?" Andromeda inquired.
"Well, I just left the office and umm, for some reason, I do not want to use my phone currently. Anyways, I called to inform you that my time with Divine Pearl is over."
"What!"
Immediately, Andromeda\'s eyes flung wide open as she drew her seat backwards.
"You said?"
"I was fired."
"What!" Andromeda hollered, slamming her left palm against the desk as she rose from her seat.
Instantly, Jian Xiaofei saw a perfect change in her eyes and facial expression.
The creases in her forehead as her brows furrowed deeply, while a dark glint shone in those once beautiful twinkling eyes, further left Jian Xiaofei stunned as she saw a perfectly different side of Andromeda for the first time.
The aura around her spoke of immense danger, signalling the arrival of a dangerous specie.
One look at her and Jian Xiaofei did not know which side of her stood out more or made her more beautiful and enchanting.
She had to give her a hand, whichever state she chose, she spread her wings proudly out to the world, showing her grace and brains.
Her face exuded the beauty of an angry goddess and sending the anger coming, Jian Xiaofei felt that to some extent, this side suited her most.
It was one thing her enemies needed to see to put them in their place and prevent any future trouble.
However, the fact her talent exists proved that many would come to trouble her.
"How dare he!" Andromeda bellowed once more.
"Miss Kai, please calm down. Abate your rage."
"How can I? Those lowly scoundrels!"
Jian Xiaofei cringed when Andromeda roared those words once more into the phone. There was no doubt that whatever was done had affected her so much.
However, what shocked Jain Xiaofei was the fact that immediately after the words fell out of Andromeda\'s lips, the latter shut her eyes and inhaled deeply.
"Please take a breather."
"Doing so," Andromeda responded sharply, stunning Jian Xiaofei who wondered if her boss was ever going to truly be calm by this time.
Several seconds flashed by quickly with Andromeda repeating the procedure all over again.
Moments later, her breathing seemed to have calmed down from Jian Xiaofei\'s notice and when she reopened her eyes once more, the fires of rage that blazed in them had calmed down as well.
However, they burned brightly, waiting for any spark to light their powers up once more.
"What happened?"
"It is okay, Miss Kai. Anyway, can I come work for you now?"
"Sure. You always did. I would like to speak to the HR department. It would be great having you around once more."
The second she said that Jian Xiaofei pouted at her while crossing her arms in front of her chest.
"Yes, Miss Kai."
"Good. So, tell me, what really happened."
"I will tell you in your office when I come. However, it\'s part of my plan. I will explain later."
"Alright, dear. I will be waiting."
Without saying much to her again, Andromeda ended the call and placed her phone back on her desk.
By the time she lifted her head once more, letting out a deep sigh to calm her nerves as she brought her gaze to center on Jian Xiaofei, Andromeda was shocked for a second by the look she got.
"Huh… what\'s wrong?"
"I don\'t know. Why are you asking me?"
A small scoff instantly escaped Andromeda\'s lips as she shook her head at Jian Xiaofei. "Until when would you stop behaving like a kid?"
"I am a kid. If that is what it takes for you to listen or understand me," Jian Xiaofei fumed out.
Quickly, she turned her head to the side and puffed out her cheeks.
At this point, Andromeda was so sure Jian Xiaofei was being jealous but she refused to show her she understood what her pouting meant and pushed her buttons instead.
"Are you going to speak with your lips and not your head?" Andromeda questioned calmly.
Instantly, Jian Xiaofei\'s eyes flew open the second she said that and turned her head back to face her. "Huh?"
"Yes. Quit acting up. Tell me what is wrong. Only if you say would I know."
"Isn\'t it obvious?" Jian Xiaofei stated bluntly.
"Maybe. But I am reading no signs. So, use your lips."
"Aish!" Frustrated, she dropped both hands to her side and let out a grunt. "Fine. You really need her here?"
"Huh, yes. She understands me best. Is that wrong to say?"
"What! So, I don\'t?"
"Nope. The fact that you are acting up shows that you do not," Andromeda affirmed, pulling her lips to the side, revealing a knowing smirk.
"Then what am I?"
"You Jian Xiaofei, you are my baby. You are equally important to me, just like Xiaoli. You are still learning to understand me, she had more years of experience with that. And she had done so much for me."
"I can too."
"I know. Do not be jealous kiddo."
Hearing Andromeda call her Kiddo made matters graver. "I\'m not a kiddo. Humph!"
