CHAPTER 229

"Jamaica."

"Huh? What?"

That was the last country. No. It wasn't even on his mind as a country his friend would get a girl from.

Not because of anything bad. He just never expected he would meet a Jamaica girl on his trip.

Their destinations were two different places. So how then did he manage such a feat?

"Do not be surprised, Liu Xueyi. She is from Jamaica but she does not live here. Like me, she came for umm I guess I can call it a vacation, although mine is a punishment."

Shaking his head, Liu Xueyi heaved out another deep sigh. "Hmm, I see. Alright, this also explains why she cannot come with you. Not to worry. I would make it up to you."

"Sure. No worries. Who knows, once I return, I would start applying for my leave next month hahaha…"

"Stupid boy. Anyways, take care. My regards to your treasure."

"Sure."

"Oh and, Andy sends her regards too."

"Thanks. Send my best wishes to her. I would get her gifts from Nigeria when coming."

"Aye."

Whether or not things would go according to plan for Andromeda, Beatrice Zhang wasn't concerned.

All she knew, getting one or two over her would make things easier for her and she could escape.

Walking slowly but majestically, Beatrice Zhang led the onslaught of people, her co-workers to be precise, towards Peng Xiaoli's little office.

That morning she had begun by causing a ruckus in the central office. At first, she had Taylor Zhao spread rumours about Peng Xiaoli being the one who cheated and helped Andromeda.

And being the wonder gossip that she was, doing so was not a hard job.

In no time she convinced most of the workers that Andromeda had intentionally left her assistant here so as to sabotage Divine Pearl from inside.

With that, it was with little effort Beatrice needed to play for some of the angry workers to follow her over to Peng Xiaoli's office to demand an explanation as to why she would ruin them this way.

Knock! Knock!

Peng Xiaoli lifted her head from the work she was doing and answered the door. "Come in," her calm gentle voice called out.

Swiftly, the door flew open with a force she could not believe anyone would use in an official building.

This was the company and not someone's house for crying out loud.

However, before she snapped out of her inertness and reacted, Beatrice Zhang stepped into her line of sight with both hands placed on her hips as she sent her a menacing glare with the corners of her lips turned upwards in a wicked grin.

'Beatrice Zhang.' Peng Xiaoli noted in her mind as her left hand balled into a fist under the table.

"Peng Xiaoli," her cold domineering voice called out.

Clicking her tongue against the roof of her mouth, Beatrice walked into the office and came to a stop right in front of her desk.

"Are you blind as well as daft that you cannot get up and greet a senior when she walks in?"

"I…"

"First you had me get the door myself and now this? How much insolence has that stupid Andromeda Kai fed into your low-functioning brain?"

At first, Peng Xiaoli had only planned and wished not to respond to any of her taunting words when she saw her.

Ever since Andromeda left, she came over every once in a while, to taunt her life and make her feel lowly. However, she overdid it today speaking ill of Andromeda.

If there was one thing Peng Xiaoli hated, it was when Beatrice looked down on Andromeda.

Back then she tried not to speak rudely to her most of the time and it was due to the fact that Andromeda was an asset to Wu Bai.

Then she wondered why the Boss's girlfriend wasn't the one leading the company but given Andromeda's meek attitude, she felt it was the reason and she was always forgiving.

However, when she found out how he used her, her hatred only grew for the duo. And now that Beatrice decided to dwell on her, she did not wish to hold back anymore.

To make matters worse, seeing the angry workers lined up behind Beatrice outside her office, Peng knew what they were her for.

However, she was not the stupid girl Beatrice Zhang took her for. She had anticipated such a comeback and was well prepared to leave the damn company today.

A light scoff fell off her lips as she rose slowly from her seat, shocking Beatrice who had expected a different response.

Howbeit, what she had stuck in place was going to give her more than a shock.

Raising her head, her eyes held the same, if not more of a menacing glare that Beatrice's eyes held.

For the first time, Beatrice saw Peng Xiaoli show a different side that gave her the chills.

One look at the young lady and she looked like a predator thirsty for blood and war.

On top of that, she did not bother to hide her smile as they danced along the corners of her lips.

"Compared to you, she treated me with so much respect and she won't barge into an office like an untrained lousy street pumpkin."

"What?"

p "You are not deaf, Miss Zhang. I believe you heard me, but if you are, I think you should scurry off quickly to the hospital to have your ears checked, or else you may not hear clearly when she is crowned queen."

"Peng…" Instantly she lifted her hand in front of Beatrice, cutting off any words that were to come from her.

"I forgot. You probably cannot even hear my advice clearly. Tsk, hey…" she shifted her gaze from Beatrice Zhang and averted it to one of the workers behind her.

"Search for someone who can help interpret for a deaf. The last thing we need is for her totally be miserable and useless. We must help however we can. She is our senior after all and the face of Divine Pearl. We can't have a deaf…"

"Xiaoli!"
