I didn't expect someone to come to my side, making me jump in my seat when Winston spoke.
It was outrageous for my junior to overhear me talking with my boyfriend like that. So, I quickly hung up the phone in a panic.
Colin's message came quickly. It was just three simple words, but it made my scalp tingle.
"Wait for me!" Reading those three words was like looking at his face while he was gritting his teeth.
Fine, I would admit that he succeeded in threatening me.
I could just wait, I guess. It was not like I had never seen a dick before, even though I had no experience. He wouldn't actually kill me, would he?
As long as I was still alive, I would have my chance for revenge later. By then, I hoped he wouldn't be the one begging me. Hmph!
I decided to decline to help out with the welcoming party because last year's event had left a lasting impression. I didn't want to repeat the same mistakes. I preferred a simple life, without all the scheming, explanations, flattery, or showing off.
I finished reading all the documents the professor gave me and rearranged the direction of my painting accordingly. The changes in the new documents were not significant. It was mainly adding names for each villa, so my task was to determine the content of the paintings based on the names.
From the names, many of the samples I had previously painted could be used, which made me very happy. The frustration that had been weighing on me somewhat dissipated.
The professor said if it were up to him, he wouldn't have agreed to Dreamlight's requests. But Dreamlight was an excellent platform. So, after much thought, I agreed in order to increase my visibility in the industry and showcase my true abilities.
I was deeply grateful for his heartfelt consideration for me. This made me particularly invested in my paintings.
Summer vacation was coming to an end. I hadn't been home for several months because of Felix's incident and my desire to focus on my paintings. After being separated for such a long time, I wanted to spend time with Colin when he came back on the weekend.
So, I decided to make a trip back to Southsville before the weekend. I planned to stay home for a few days and accompany my parents so that they wouldn't worry about me.
After telling Colin about my plan to go home, he hesitated for a moment before agreeing. But he reminded me not to go back to the old house if there was nothing urgent. He wanted me to avoid bumping into Felix as much as I could.
Of course, I agreed to everything he said. Even if he hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't want to go back there either as I wouldn't want to meet Felix alone.
What he did had planted a thorn in my heart that could never be pulled out. So, I would avoid him at all costs.
After leaving Queenie with Andrew, I embarked on the journey back home.
