9 Mystery of Death

Yue planned on setting up her own studio but meeting Null and possibility learning under him, no, even just seeing him work is something she also dreamed of.

It wouldn't be bad to further increase her experience before being independent.

Yue decided to give it a shot, anyway, it was just giving a sample work, though she can't help but anticipate.

Yue pulled out a folder from her backpack and gave it to Linn.

Linn reached out for the folder but didn't look inside.

"I'll be keeping this for the night and return it to you tomorrow. I'll be then inform you if it's a no or go. Let's exchange contacts" Linn handed Yue her phone.

Yue key in her phone # and Linn called hers to confirm. After exchanging contacts, they happily ate and chatted.

Linn went back to the hotel after her lunch with Yue.

She opened Yue's folder not really expecting anything.

Linn felt that Yue is of the same soul that's why she wanted to give her an opportunity, anyway, she wouldn't lose anything. But Linn suddenly got serious when she saw Yue's design.

Her eyes grew bigger and bigger with every page of Yue's design.

At the end, Linn laughed crazily.

She unbelievably stumbled upon a mysterious existence.

It started a year and a half ago. Some black horse appeared in fashion designing competitions and horded all the first place, unfortunately, no one knew this person's information. She's always using a proxy.

This person is like Null but more secretive.

One if Linn's mission is to look for this person, but who knew she's actually still a student.

Who knew she would bump into her just like that.

Yue really gave her a big surprise.

Spending her one month salary is worth it.

Of course the final verdict is still with Null, but Linn already felt good about it.

Linn immediately emailed the samples to Null.

Not an hour later, she received his response.

The next day, Linn met with Yue, finalized the contract, and went back to Country C.

Going back to the the present, Yue patiently waited for Linn.

For some reason Yue is feeling something ominous.

Not long after, she heard clacking of heels from the entrance.

Upon landing her eyes to its owner, her whole body automatically freezes.

Her helplessness, desperation, weakness, and pain seemed to happen all over again.

Yue closed her eyes and tried to calm down.

She was born with an ability to never forget a voice once she heard it. She can distinguish voices even with hundreds of people.

When she was drugged, she heard the man who drugged her talking to someone in the phone. Even in her muddled state, she can still recognize the voice from the other side.

Yue couldn't understand why Ashaina Lancer would want her innocence ruined.

Ashaina didn't want her to die, she just want her totally ruined, but for Yue that's worse than death so she chose to end her life.

Ashaina was an internationally known model and endorser. She had the Lancers to back her up. Her family was affiliated with the Ten Noble Families in many businesses. They also once,long ago, married their daughter to the prince of the country, so they have the blood of royals.

Ashaina came back in the country and started to focus locally at the exact peak of her, Yue's career.

But her resources and Ashaina were different. They rarely bump onto each other. There was just one time that she managed to attend a brand event where Ashaina was the spokesperson/ ambassador but they still didn't have a personal encounter.

Yue didn't think that the person would be so malicious towards her.

Yue thought at first that they might have mistaken her for someone else, but the call confirmed that the one Ashaina wanted was her.
