The queen is back! || 1

The pair had so much fun that night, Andrea's songs shuffled and had some soothing music that's danceable. Andrea kept singing and Damon watched her happily. They also discussed further plans for their partnership. They also had some beer that helped Andrea forget the heavy talk they had and loosen up, they also had some lovely dinner. By the time They got into the car it was 10:30 pm. Damon completely ignored everyone that was calling him and eventually turned his phone to silent, he was only focused on Andrea. As he was driving back to the hotel Andrea fell asleep. Damon would glance at her from time to time, Her face while sleeping was just so peaceful. He wanted to hold her for eternity and let her sleep soundly protected in his arms. But he couldn't. Atleast for the time being.

—12 am, Bov Hotel.

Damon parked at the back entrance of the hotel, he went out to and opened the door for Andrea to wake her up but.."She's so beautiful." He muttered, He hesitantly caressed her soft cheek then smiled helplessly. "If only you knew.." Damon said to himself before he heaved a long sigh, he didn't have the heart to wake her up, he scooped her up in his arms and Went in from the back, He used the private elevator that was for suites, Then carried all the way to her room.

Andrea nuzzled into his chest feeling warmth and coziness, Damon smiled warmly at her but he also felt a little startled as she nestled herself in his arms. He gently clicked her suite door open, He had an access card as well since he was the person who booked her room after all. He gently placed her on the comfortable bed to which she hugged the nearby pillow and smiled softly. He took her shoes off and pulled the blanket over her, then took a quick glance at her angelic sleeping face before he left feeling statisfied that he had helped her out of her mood. "Goodnight, sweet little missus." He grinned.

—2 days later, 9:30am

"I'm on my way." Andrea said, putting her leg over the other as she talked on the phone with Lawrence while being in the Uber. She wore a White shirt over a Latte colored Pants. She had some light make up on, nothing too much. It just defined her perfect and sharp features more. She wore a golden lovely bracelet paired with a nice silver ring on her middle finger and pinky finger. With cat eyes glasses making her look more professional. Along with a black bag and a nice pair of black heels. And her High tech. Laptop. "We'll discuss the project's plan and budget today, I hope you have prepared well for this." This time, it was Damon talking. "Don't worry, when I thought of the idea at first it was made on spot, Trust me, I can make a last minute plan on spot too." She spoke confidently "No wonder you called me a stupid rich guy."

"Can't you forget about that- Mr. Gracia.." Andrea said helplessly. 'Everytime he brings that up I feel like disappearing!'

"Unfortunately for you, Miss Lian. This stupid rich guy has a good memory."

'I wanna curse the hell out of this guy sometimes..' Andrea let out a soft ('Tsk') sound and chose to stay silent about the matter. "Anyway, How do you plan to deal with that Shen?" She questioned curiously. "You noticed it too?" Damon rose his brow. "Of course, even an idiot could tell. How did he even reach his position? I heard that Bloss is very picky when it comes to employees."

"He was a very good choice when he first came to apply, I'm not sure what happened as I've always put a blind eye to it."

"...That's why you fell from grace." Andrea had to say that, it was such a slap in his face!

"..." Damon's expression darkened at her statement. At that moment, he promised himself he would never turn a blind eye to anything anymore, that was his first and last mistake! "That's why you fell from grace too." Counter attack!

'Did he just say that I turned a blind eye to Cameron's attitude that's why I'm blacklisted?!' Andrea was fuming, In her heart, Andrea's expression darkened as well. she cursed Cameron and Damon for making fun of her, Just then Cameron sneezed in his office. "I have a piece of interesting information about Shen. I'll tell you when you come." A silence came over them, for some reason neither of them ended the call. "I'm here.." The car came to a stop. Andrea went out. ("BLOSS ENTERTAINMENT.") The Logo in bold came into Andrea's sight. "I'm waiting for you in the reception."

Earlier...

"That's why you fell from grace too." Damon said as Lawrence pressed on the first floor's button.

"..." Andrea stayed silent for sometime, she was burned. 'Heh. I'd spend all I have to see her expression right now.' Damon thought to himself as he grinned proudly. Lawrence swept a glance over his boss, he immediately pursed his lips and felt scared. 'Is boss okay?' Lawrence wanted to ask but kept his question to himself.

Present..

Ding, Damon came out along with Lawrence walking two steps behind him. He was wearing an elegant cashmere colored suite. With a white shirt underneath with his hair gently combed to the back. When Andrea came in still having her phone on her ear, When Damon saw her he quickly came over to her. His look became a little gentle. "Welcome, Miss Lian." He said casually. But to Andrea it felt a little... special. 'The colors look as if we're matching... I'm glad I picked this today.' Damon thought to himself. "Thank you, by the way do you love spending your sim credit that much?" Andrea remarked as she removed her phone from her ear and ended their call. "Perhaps. Only on one special person.." He mumbled. Andrea heard his mutters but she didn't get a hold of what he said. She chose to ignore it and both of them along with Lawrence again, went into the private elevator.

'I don't get it, Why did Mr. Gracia take the elevator just to take Miss Lian? She clearly knows the place...Huh.' Lawrence couldn't help but question himself. He looked at the pair's departing backs in confusion. The two chatted about what's yet to come and their ideas on the way.

—Damon's office.

"When everyone's present call us." Damon instructed his secretary. To which she replied by politely bowing. The three entered the CEO's office. "Have a seat." Andrea sat on the comfortable sofa and Damon beside her but a little far away to respect her personal space. Andrea took out her newly bought laptop and placed it on the table Infront of them. "I've planned a presentation here. wouldn't it be a good idea if you checked it quickly before the meeting starts?" Andrea suggested, ready to press the power button. "Before that, don't you want to know what interesting facts I have about Shen?" Damon said, his expression slowly turning dangerous. "Ah,yes. What does that Lame-excuser has?" Andrea's face turned to a sarcastic smirk. That Shen left quite the stupid impression on her.

"someone bribed Shen." Damon said with a dark expression, His disrespect towards Cameron rose to the max. "What?.." Andrea looked at Damon's angered face in disdain. "Who?"

Damon gave her a low chuckle, which was dangerous and chilling. Both of Lawrence and Andrea could feel the drop of the temperature. "I still don't know, that person is hiding himself very well." Damon scoffed. He was angered to the max but he always wore a cold, indifferent face. Not letting others understand him easily. "But when I do, I won't be merciful." As Damon talked in anger, Lawrence was panicking while Andrea remained unfazed. What completely amazed Lawrence wasn't Andrea's indifference, but..."Would be great if you could just squish Shen out of existence. I'd die to see his panicked face. I can't stand his stinky breath!" Andrea said, her expression turning scary. '...How didn't I see it before..? they almost have the same dangerous personality..' Lawrence thought. "I suggest that you dismiss him from this meeting, who knows who is he sending the information to?" Andrea said, to which Damon replied with nodding. "Yeah,I was thinking about the same."

—Meeting room.

Andrea sat on the seat on the right side of Damon, facing another director as Damon took the leading seat. The seat where Andrea sat caused a lot of commission, That was supposedly Director Shen's seat! As Andrea revised the plan on her laptop with Damon, The door suddenly opened. "Ah, you haven't started yet? Good, good.." It was director Shen, who was wearing an annoying smirk. And Andrea didn't even try to hide the disgust on her face. Shen shot her a glare. "You, what are you doing on my seat?" He said as if he was superior of her. "Mister Shen, you're late." Damon said, resting his head on the back of his hands as he intertwined his fingers. "Yes,yes. I apologize." Shen said carelessly. "Anyway, Miss Lian. I believe you're disrespecting me by sitting on my seat, No?" Shen said with a slight smile. He was clearly choosing to pick a fight with her and showing her as an immoral woman! Lawrence furrowed and was about to talk on the lady's behalf.. "Oh? Glad you're not blind then." Andrea chuckled. She was savage. The whole room looked at her in shock, expect Damon. Who seemed to enjoy the show. Shen felt an intimating aura from Andrea, she was equally scary as Damon. Shen grit his teeth and refused to go down! 'Who does she think she is?! I have more authority here!!!' Shen thought. "Excuse me?! Sir gracia, can you see how immoral that woman is? She'll clearly bring us down. She doesn't even respect her superior!" Shen said, He was feeling like he did a nice trick to ruin the plan. 'He'll surely listen to me! after all, I'm his trust worthy director!' Shen was so full of himself. "Since when are you her superior?" Damon replied. The room suddenly came to dead silence. Shen's face changed colors. He was as pale as a sheet. "Wh-what do you mean, Mister Gracia? I'm clearly older and wiser than her, I'm also a director in Bloss...of course I'm her superior..."

"And who said I'm an employee here?" Andrea's words were as sharp as a knife. "Mister Shen, you've clearly misunderstood my position here. I'm a business partner. Not an office boy." Of course, she was sarcastic. She always is.

Shen stayed silent for quite sometime, then Damon finally spoke. "Director Shen, I believe it would be better if you don't attend. You're dismissed for this meeting."

'what..!!?' Shen wanted to fight back but he grit his teeth in great anger and decided to wisely leave, slamming the door shut behind him.

"You may begin." Damon spoke once more, then Andrea took lead and discussed her plan, taking every kind of question and answering professionally. Everyone's impression of her clearly went beyond the roof that day. The news went all over the company. 'Miss Lian is too honest! I respect her honesty!' 'She's so professional with her work...! she's such an icon. now I do believe that she didn't take Rosie for no reason..' The artists and employees discussed. They really looked up to her now. As they were talking, Damon, Andrea and Lawrence came in. Everyone watched them closely as Damon and Andrea walked side by side. Before Andrea went to the music floor, she looked back at the employees and smiled. "Thank you so much for trusting me. I promise I won't let you down!" Andrea bowed to the employees as a show of respect. Then she left with Damon and Lawrence. Everyone watched them in awe. "How dare director Shen to call her immoral!? she's very respectful even to us!!!" "Yeah, I agree." "What's wrong with director Shen anyways? he clearly picked up the fight with her..."

Hearing everyone's criticism, Shen was fuming in anger in his office. He hated Andrea to the core now.

—Music floor.

"Everyone, Miss Lian will be working on a song with you all. Please do treat her with respect and help her if needed." Damon said firmly. The young singers and musicians eyes lit up. "Oh my god! Miss Lian will be working with us?!" "I heard that she learned singing and music instruments in America...I really want to hear what she sings!!!!"

Andrea just kept a friendly smile, Soon enough, Damon and Lawrence left when they saw that she made herself comfortable in one of the music rooms.

Andrea was just trying the electric guitar's chords. people couldn't help but stare at her...

"La-da-da." She tried singing one of lines of the song she wrote. She seemed so immersed in playing the guitar. Some artists even recorded her!

"M...miss Lian?" A young girl who seemed to be 12 came up to Andrea, Andrea snapped out of her musical bubble and looked up at the girl, She stood up and extended her hand to her. "Hello." Andrea said indifferently. The girl quickly clasped Andrea's hand with hers. "M..miss lian...I..I'm a big fan of yours...! I love the way you confidently walk on th-the runway...and the small n-notes you play on your Instagram..." The girl spoke shyly and stuttered many times but her voice was very soothing to the ear. However, Andrea looked unbothered. "Thank you...wait, I remember you!" Andrea said with a slight smile. The girl's eyes seemed to light up with a hint of confusion, her large black eyes fluttered and her brunette hair waved down her waist, She looked very beautiful in her lovely dress and brownish skin color. "You were talking with those artists on the first day I came here, right?" Andrea couldn't help but pat the girl on her head. To her, she looked so cute!! The girl blushed slightly. "U-um...I brought this for you!!" The girl took out a chocolate bar and recuantly handed it to Andrea. Andrea smiled warmly at her and took the chocolate. "Thank you.. I'll definitely enjoy it! what's your name?"

"M..my name is E-Eva..."
