189 Strange Call
She did not notice her dress until Liling walked up that stage. Her parents were quite rich, so the mere looking at the dress was enough to tell her that it was not gotten just anywhere.
As painful as it was to accept, it was clear that Liling glowed from head to toe. Seeing her up there, something told her that it wouldn\'t be long before she won\'t be able to near her shadows anymore.
The more she watched her, the more her heart ripped into pieces. She was suffocating on her seat, finding it hard to breathe.
She was sure that if she hadn\'t left that moment, she was going to collapse on the floor.
The weekend was hell for her; she had locked herself up in her room, not wanting to eat anything. The worst of all was that the idiot who had slept with her refused to pick up her calls. Her parents had knocked and pleaded with her, all to no avail.
She had to literally drag herself off the bed, since it was the first day of work. Her eye bags were clearly visible, so she had to use a great deal of makeup to cover it up.
She wanted to avoid Liling and the bad mouthed Xin Yong for the meantime, but who would have thought that the first person she would see as she stepped into X was her?
Liling was putting on a latest Chanel dress, with matching heels and her hair was up in a ponytail, she was radiant and with a smile plastered on her lips.
Richen was putting on nice clothes too but because of her moody expression; she looked like a clear contrast of Liling.
As soon as recognized her, she wanted to pretend that she didn\'t see her, but it was already too late, Liling had already seen her.
The painful thing was not that she saw her, but the victorious smile that was plastered on her lips as she took steps toward her.
Richen wanted to turn around and walk away, but on a second thought she decided to wait for Liling to approach, so she would slur her for sleeping with men just to get into the company.
Just the mere thought of insulting her in front of the company; put a slight smile on Richen\'s face as she waited for her to approach.
But a funny thing happened, Liling who had looked as though she was coming to meet her, or maybe scream her victory to her face, just passed by her as though she was a shadow.
Richen\'s tongue which was about to move suddenly stuck to her alveolar as she felt Liling walk past her as though she did not exist.
She couldn\'t literally believe her eyes. Her feet stuck to a place and her eyes remained gazing into space.
It took her 30 seconds to realize what had just happened. Her eyes fluttered and she slowly turned around to see Liling walking into the elevator.
The only thing that saved her from fainting was her pride. What was she going to tell people when she finally woke up?
…
Before nine, all the upcoming artists were already present in the company. They were directed to a meeting room, were all were duly seated before the manager came in to address them.
He explained to them that the company managers have chosen their artists they intend to work with..
He explained that the managers have bigger networks and other artists they supervise, therefore in order to become a priority, they needed to work hard and show that they are able to do the work, else they would slowly disappear into the background and be forgotten.
He concluded by saying that they would receive an email from their various managers and work would begin in earnest.
\'\'What if Miss Su is your manager?\'\' Xin Yong asked as they walked out of the company after the four hour long meeting.
Liling brows creased slightly as she turned her head to look at her friend.
\'\'Who is Miss Su?\'\' She asked looking perplexed. Xin Yong had asked the question as though she was expected to know who Miss Su was.
\'\'You don\'t know Miss Su?\'\' Xin Yong stared at her friend, bewildered as they walked casually towards the exit; Xin Yong had her arm intertwined with Liling\'s.
\'\'Was I supposed to know?\'\'
\'\'Of course you are supposed to know! Who doesn\'t know Miss Su in the music industry? It\'s been rumored that any artist she selects always made it to the top.
She is very strict with artists under her care and makes sure that they do not produce bosh music. I also heard that she\'s forty but still single. Don\'t mind me, I was just kidding, I\'m sure she must be pretty busy, there\'s no way she\'ll be taking new artists.\'\'
Xin Yong concluded as a matter of fact. Almost at the same time, Liling\'s phone began to ring. She paused to take out the phone from her bag, her brows creased when she saw that it was a strange number calling. She wasn\'t sure whether to pick the call or not.
\'\'Who\'s that?\'\'
Xin Yong asked, stretching her neck to see the caller identity. Her eyes widened when she saw that the caller had no identity.
\'\'Ho ho, what if it\'s the strange guy from the party?\'\' She teased, flickering her brows. Liling glared daggers at her, as though to remind her that she has not forgotten what she did that Saturday night.
Xin Yong ran off a distance and burst out laughing, her mind replaying how she made Liu Wei panic that fateful night. Liling rolled her eyes at her and went back to her phone but before she could decide whether to pick the call or not, it stopped ringing.
