Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 788 - It's your fault in losing it.

Seeing their boss losing her control all of sudden, the employees at Aurora fashion were all fl.u.s.tered. Their palms were going clammy while their feet were continuously scrambling around to check the things that were already perfectly done and completed.

None of them was willing to stand in the position where one of their own was standing at the moment. Everyone was in love with their job and none of them were willing to get fired out of blue.? Especially at the moment when they knew that their boss was at her worst temper.? ??

"If you are not capable enough to do the work, don't overcrowd the place with your presence. Submit your resignation and leave", Feng Yi Lan snarled in restrained tones as the rolled paper in her hand crumbled. Her eyes pierced the frail figure standing in front of her.

Hearing her chide like that, the young staff was on the verge to lose her last string of strength and kneel down to urge mercy. But just then a pat of comfort came on her shoulders, making her turn to look at her savior.

It was no other but Li Xue with a smile of ease and comfort on her face. Just that look was enough to bring calmness to the stormy sea.

Li Xue blinked her eyes at her in assurance before turning to look at Feng Yi Lan to ask, "Yi Lan, things look messed up here. What happened? Anything serious?"

"Nothing at all serious, dear. It's just that only now, I realized that all my employees are so incapable. They can't even do a single job properly?" Feng Yi Lan said. Her expressions were still sour.

Li Xue studied her face before gazing back at the young girl at the front. "Really? I mean the last thing I remember is your boasting on their name, saying how perfect people you have got in your brand and how you appreciate their work. Then how come your perception about them changed so suddenly?"

"…" Feng Yi Lan's lips got sealed when her words from before revealed the reality of her behavior. She didn't say a word because even in her anger she didn't fail to acknowledge those people's efforts for the brand.

Li Xue knew her friend's nature as well. How could she not know? Spending time with her all those years were enough to let her know what and when her attitude changes. Smiling, she gently pulled the crumbled, rolled paper out of her hands before handing it to the young girl at the front. "Please go and work on this. Don't disappoint your Boss again".

The young girl nodded, before fleeing off to proper the work at once. She was relieved to get the help of Li Xue at the last second, or else, it wouldn't have been a surprise for her to lose the job today.

While the young employee sprinted off, Li Xue turned her attention back at her friend, who was avoiding her gaze at all cost. "Yi Lan, what's the matter? As far as I have known, every arrangement is all done and set perfectly before time. There was nothing left for the last minute. Then what's suddenly making you lose your composure like this? Did you fight with Director Qi?"

Li Xue asked, knowing well the one and only cause that could make Yi Lan lose her best like this. And her understanding wasn't proven wrong when she heard Yi Lan hinting at the reason behind her foul mood.

"Li Xue, there is nothing to fight at, especially with the man who lacks integrity towards his said words". Feng Yi Lan said while her eyes went to stare at the distance out the stage.

Li Xue followed her glance as well, only to find Qi Shuai sitting on one of the empty seats. His hand holding his head with some utter pain, while an elegant woman sitting beside him. The look Qi Shuai was holding on his face was stating a story, where he was forced to be the male protagonist

Her gaze got confused finding an unknown person. "Who is the one beside him?" She asked Yi Lan while sizing the unfamiliar woman's attitude towards the man. Just looking at her sitting posture beside him, she could tell she was holding a candle for him in her heart.

"She is Liam Hui-Ying, the eldest daughter of the Liam family of Ming city. The one who has proposed marriage with the eldest son of the Qi family. That's our great Director Qi." Feng Yi Lan replied, her eyes holding a fury that she was continuously suppressing within herself to not give in to her reality, her true heart.

Li Xue nodded casually giving an amused 'oh' to the situation which at once took Yi Lan's full attention.

"Just an 'oh'? What was that Li Xue?"

"Uh? A simple 'oh', Yi Lan. What else can it be? I didn't know her, that's why I asked. There was no other reason behind it. Since you explained her identity so well, I have no other doubts left". Li Xue said, her face all nonchalant at the situation. "Were you expecting some other response from me?"

Feng Yi Lan didn't know what else to say. Not like she was waiting for some bitching from Li Xue. But of course, she was least expecting that simple response to come as well. "I was …"

"Yi Lan, if you leave the treasure then it's your fault for losing it. You can't blame others who get their eyes on it. Anyway, I think you know this better and it will only be a waste for me to explain it to you. So let's not get on the same topic again, instead, let's go and work on the show better". Li Xue said. pressing her lips into a smile while looking empathically at her friend.

The rage in the eyes of Yi Lan didn't die down but the regret of losing something precious got slightly evident in her expression. She looked one last time in the direction of Director Qi before turning and saying, "Mhm. I think right now, it's more important to focus on our show. Let's go". She said and Li Xue nodded.

"You proceed. I will go and ask Director Qi about his health first."
