Chapter 30 Do You Have a Fiancé?


    Sure enough, Vi gave her an evil look, then proceeded to apologise. “Sorry, I will watch out next


    time.”


    “Vi, don’t think all the spotlights are on you.” Queena said. “You should remember how you came to


    join this team, and it was because you were diligent and hard working that we kept you here.


    Vi quickly continued to exin herself. “Queena, I really am hard working and diligent, this was just


    a small error…”


    Queena gestured her to stop taking.


    “Vi, when you are focused, you truly are hard working, I don’t deny this. But when there are


    distractions, you allow yourself to get distracted and getpletely carried away.”


    Then, Queena made a decision. “You are not suited to staying in my team."


    Hearing these words, Vi became frantic, and begged, “Queena, please, I didn’t do it on purpose,


    please give me another chance.”


    Queena put on a “Not negotiable” look and turned and left. Andrea tried to slip out the door by following


    Queena, but was stopped by Vi.


    Everyone else emptied out of the meeting room quickly, obviously not wanting to participate in the ugly


    scene that is sure to follow.


    Andrea felt her head swell. This was really unfair, she obviously hadn’t done anything. Being targeted


    by other people without it being clear exactly what she was being used of.


    “Ms Johnson, if you have something to say, please say so quickly, as I still have work to do.” she said


    courteously.


    “You’re just trying to show off, aren’t you?” Vi said with tears of hatred. “You’re happy that I’ve been


    expelled by Queena, aren’t you?”


    Andrea thought to herself, maybe Vi is crazy, she obviously only said some polite words, what part


    of those were show off words?


    “Vi, you being kicked off the team by Queena was nothing of my doing, why would I be happy?”


    Vi looked at her. “Andrea, I really hate you!”


    “Okay, so I know you really hate me. Is there anything else? If not, I am leaving,” Andrea thought


    maybe she is also crazy too, for staying and having this conversation with Vi. She shouldn’t even be


    treating Vi as a normal person.


    Just as Andrea was leaving the meeting room, Vi suddenly blurted out, “We’re both mistresses


    anyway. Do you really think you are better than me? He’s going to move on to other things, you are


    going to get dumped too!”


    Andrea stopped in her tracks, then pulled herself together and pondered what these words meant.


    Could Vi be one of Baron’s mistresses too?


    But, Baron doesn’t have a legally married partner, so technically, she was not a ‘mistress’. But, besides


    Baron, she doesn’t have any contact with any other males.


    Andrea sighed. Maybe she just doesn’t know Baron well enough. Maybe his family overseas had

    arranged a marriage for him.


    But, she actually would quite rather he move his attention to something else and dump her, she would


    really celebrate this.


    Andrea pushed aside all these nonsensical thoughts and continued to work. Apart from Viing to


    clean up her desk and leaving carrying a cardboard box, there were no other disruptions that day.


    At home time, she answered a call from Baron. “Ms Anderson”, the secretary said with a very formal


    and courteous tone. “Mr Howard would like to have dinner with you tonight, please wait for him in the


    underground car park.”


    Andrea let her know she will do so, and rode the elevator to the underground car park alone. When she


    stepped out of the lift, she immediately saw Baron’s chauffer. Andrea waited in the car for half an hour


    before Baron appeared.


    “How was work today, very busy?” she asked politely.


    Baron replied, “Been preparing for the start of the formal partnership with Eason Reed.” Andrea jumped


    at the name. She hasn’t heard the name in the past year, since that day.


    Any news rted to Eason, usually was about his rtionship with Cassidy. Andrea was even less


    interested in this. Now that she has suddenly heard this, she couldn’t hide her slight excitement. Baron


    looked at her, and as if to joke, he asked, “What, aren’t you excited? Isn’t he your idol?”


    “I don’t have anything to be excited about,” Andrea said, looking at him with small smile. “If the


    “Who said you won’t be allowed to work with him?”


    Andrea’s words were hit back with this obviously rhetorical question, and her face could barely hide her


    surprise. “You want me to work with him?” she asked.


    “Didn’t you say he is your idol? Aren’t you happy that I am letting you work with him?”


    Andrea looked at Baron’s face carefully. He didn’t look like he was pulling her leg, so there must be


    some other motive. “No, never mind, I think I will just stay where I am. I am a new intern and I don’t


    know much about fashion design yet, I don’t think I will be able to do this.” Besides, all eyes will be on


    any partnerships with Eason, never mind if she gets in trouble, but she can’t bring any trouble to Eason


    too. Although a little regretful, Andrea decides she can’t go.


    But Baron isn’t someone to reason with. “If I say you can do it, you can do it.” He proceeded to put the


    Bluetooth earpiece in his ear and make phone calls.


    Andrea protested a few times but was ignored by the man, so she could only stop talking and glumly sit


    back. The car turned left and right, before finally stopping in front of a fine dining restaurant.


    Baron took Andrea inside; the manager in the lobby took them to a private dining area upstairs. The


    window faced the rushing river, andbined with the bright lights, the scenery was really beautiful.


    The waiter poured them red wine and served them some pastries.


    Andrea stuck a fork in the soft sponge cake and thoughtfully licked off the cream from the fork. “Today,


    Vi was kicked out from our intern group.”


    Baron didn’t look surprised, and asked, “Queena kicked her out?”


    Andrea replied, “Yes.”


    Baron gracefully cut up his food, saying “If Queena really wanted to expel someone, then no one can


    stop her, so you had better do things nicely, or you’ll make me look bad.”


    Andrea smiled mockingly, “Mr Howard, even you have situations that are out of your control?”


    Baron nced at her without saying anything.


    Andrea chewed her lip and carefully asked, “Then I have another question. Mr Howard, do you have a


    fiancé?”


    “What’s it to you?” Upon hearing these words, the atmosphere around Baron dropped several degrees,


    he does not like this question at all.
