Chapter 673 Have You Fallen Out of Love as Well?
Joseph gulped and turned timid in a second. “Okay, I’ll do as you say, alright? SK belongs to you, anyway. However, I’m putting up a disclaimer right now that I won’t be responsible if it gets a bad reputation.”
After that, he accepted Tiana’s task using the admin status and sent his WeChat account profile over. Tiana quickly sent him a friend request without wasting even a second.
“What should I do?” Joseph asked, holding up his phone.
Elise took the phone from him, then plopped into the couch next to him and propped up her legs.
Meanwhile, Tiana had spent five million on this task. Then, as she thought that she had found the real QH, she eagerly asked to be an apprentice.
‘Sir, I like the calligraphy phrases you created very much, and I wonder if I have the chance to receive some pointers from you?’
After hitting ‘Send’, she thought her text lacked sincerity, so she added another line. ‘If I can be your apprentice, sir, I’m willing to pay tens of millions for your expenditure in your line of work.’
Elise sent her a warning directly as she was sick and tired of dealing with her. ‘I don’t take any apprentice. Also, just because some things are not exposed for the time being doesn’t mean they will remain hidden forever. The only way to prevent people from knowing is to not do it. So, please refrain from doing something that will only harm yourself in the future.’
After she sent the text, she deleted Tiana’s contact, tossed the phone into Joseph’s hands, and walked out of the room.
The words that appeared on the screen frightened Tiana, and her heart started to race.
What does QH mean by this? Does he already know that I copied his works for the calligraphy contest? But didn’t he hide his identity and not bother himself with the world anymore? Who’s the one who told him about all of this?
Tiana adjusted her emotions and wanted to quibble, so she typed the words, ‘I don’t understand what you mean’ on her screen before hitting ‘Send’. In the end, she saw a red exclamation mark, with two rows of small characters, stating, ‘You are not in the receiver’s contact list. Please send a friend request before sending a message.’
Stunned, she thought, The contact I bought with five million is gone in less than five minutes?
She felt devastated as she leaned back into the chair and stared at the ceiling in a daze. Initially, she wanted to get some copybooks from QH in the name of being his apprentice, but unexpectedly, she received a warning instead.
Now, QH has struck off this last option as well. What would she use to convince the judges at the last freestyle part of the Calligraphy Contest?
Furthermore, the fact that QH was still alive in this world was akin to a ticking bomb. Once he saw the broadcast of the Calligraphy Contest on TV, it was very likely that he would jump out to expose her. At that time, how would she prove herself, then?
While she was in a trance, the corners of her eyes caught sight of the S-Class badge from the Calligraphy Association, and an idea suddenly popped into her mind.
Although everyone highly sought the font created by QH, the ones made by the S-Class members of the Calligraphy Association were also something that ordinary people could only look forward to. If she could find the owner of this badge, maybe that person would be willing to sell some copybooks for her emergency use.
Just like this, I will end up pleading with Elise Sinclair again, she realized. No, this won’t do.
Elise’s name was also on the finalist list of the Calligraphy Contest this time. After the experience with the ‘National Goddess’ contest, almost all netizens in the country were comparing both of them.
At a time like this, she definitely couldn’t display her weakness.
It feels like an endless loop. She threw back her head and let out a long sigh. I’m trapped.
