CHAPTER 349 - In the Na of Love
As quickly as the courtroom case ended, the reporters were swift to take the results out to the public.
Due to that, Wu Bai's company suffered a huge loss aside from the huge sum of money he was made to pay Li Jing as well as the dia damage she had received.
Thanks to the reports, however, Starlight Apparel was cleared of all assumptions of theft, alongside Androda from the news.
Now, people knew how credible her designs were and most importantly, by the next week, they had an increase in sales and demand for more of her clothes.
Liu Xueyi could not be the happiest person of them all.
As much as Androda got a huge percentage of the 500 million dollars Wu Bai and Beatrice Zhang were tasked to pay, the Liu Company got his share too.
The sa went for Peng Xiaoli who was accused wrongly and dismissed on the wrong note from Divine Pearl and Liu Xueyi who was accused of harassnt and had his company's image tarnished.
In the end, everyone had a clear mind, beca happy with the new change and was hopeful for a better work future.
This was one step down in Androda's goal. More than anything she was grateful but she knew her journey to the top had only begun.
With Beatrice Zhang out of the way and exposed for who she really was, Androda's na spread wide as well.
Not only that, Starlight Apparel had its na as the top designing company.
Her eyes glead at the television screen. In the few months she had known Liu Xueyi, so much had happened but sothing in her guts told her it had only just begun.
Usually, the country holds its annual fashion week show every year and at the end, the fashion designer with the best designs portrayed during the event got the title of the Queen of the fashion world.
As usually done, in the first four days, several fashion houses showcased their designs as a way to shed new light on the public for their company.
After that, the next two days would be used to access the representatives of the fashion houses and any other fashion designer ready to take part in the contest.
The competition was open to all where for those two days they will be tasked with designing based on different thes and within a stipulated ti.
After that, the top hundred designs will be selected. In the next stage, the top fifty best designs would be selected, and then they move to the semi-finals where only ten designs would erge.
On the last day, these ten contestants would be tasked with ti and art.
Several artists would perform in dance drama and cultural displays to help them relax and refresh their minds.
After which, they would be asked to recreate a design that resonates with their minds.
Thanks to this, they get taken on a tour in whichever city the contest would be held in before the competition began to help them relax and be creative.
Soon it will be that ti of the year. The first week of December.
And judging by Halloween ti getting close, Androda knew she had little ti to prepare herself for things, considering she needed to tend to Starlight Apparel's demand issue and help train the designers under her to get the best of them.
Her shoulders slumped just thinking about the work she had at hand, regardless of how hard things seed, her eyes held her determination.
She had thought of defeating Beatrice Zhang in this contest and rising in the fashion world, having her na known.
For the five years, she had worked with Divine Pearl, Wu Bai restricted her from ever participating.
He always claid that it would not be fair if more than one designer ca from Divine Pearl and went against each other.
Instead, all support should go to Beatrice since she was already the image of the company.
How he did it she did not know, but later she found out he got the thes in advance before the competition and tasked only the best in his company to get spectacular designs.
Once that was over, Beatrice was given the best of the best for each the and she morized them.
According to him, it was a collective effort to ensure the glory ca to Divine Apparel.
Now, though, there was not going to be that idiocrasy anymore. She was free. Free from what she thought was love and being supportive of him.
To her back then, as long as the company rose and did well, that was all that mattered. As long as she had his love and would always be by his side, that was all that mattered.
'How naïve and foolish I had been. All for the sake of love. Now, in the na of loving myself, I will do my best and ensure my rise knows no bounds. Anyti, any day.'
With her thoughts settled, she pressed her lips into a thin line and balled her fingers into a fist to show her determination.
"In the na of love."
"In the na of love what? What has love done to you?"
Androda turned around in ti to see Liu Xueyi walking into her office.
She had been lost in thought and voiced that without thinking anyone would invade her privacy without knocking.
Well, what was she to expect from her naughty boyfriend?
"Xueyi."
"You haven't answered Andy, what did love do to you, my love?"
"Nothing. I just said I will love myself more and chase after my dreams," Androda explained and closed the gap between them.
"Let guess, the Queen's contest?"
"Yes. I think it is about ti I stopped hiding my talent. I want to shine and rise, Xueyi."
"Good then. I love a determined, bold, strong, no-nonsense woman anyways. Chase after your dream, I will support you all through and will not stop until you get to the peak, my darling."
"Thank you. It ans a lot. Now, did you get bored that the almighty CEO left his office to co and visit his girlfriend during work hours?"
She winked at him before wrapping her hand around his neck.
"No. I ca here solely for business. The calls are endless and I think with the win, Liu's Entertainnt would like new designs for their own show in the movie."
"And who is the star this ti? Fang Qian?"
"No, she is the second female lead actress."
"Ohh, I know that must really have hurt her feelings," Androda laughed.
"Umm not really. She requested it actually. The bad girl role suits her to be honest," Liu Xueyi explained.
"Hmm. I see. So, is that the only reason why you visited my office? Just business?"
"Well, I ca for business and for that I needed to see a certain Ms. Kai who happens to be the love of my life."
He wrapped his hands around her waist and took a step closer, pressing Androda's body to his.
"I ca for business and pleasure, baby."
"Ohh, you are playing the naughty CEO ga, aren't you?"
"No. I am simply a businessman. Multi-tasking, you can call it that. I am killing two birds with one stone."
"But this isn't business,"
"Well, I need to see my love to get my blood pumping well and my heart to beat rightly."
Androda's brows raised up at his words. "What a nice way to put it."
"I know right? now, care to grant..."
Before he could finish his words, she pressed her lips to his and silenced him with a kiss.
