My Beautiful Love Chapter 29

Hearing her heart shattering comment, Lu Aotian was not annoyed. She was right anyway....to some extent. His voice became even more gentle.
"Wanwan, you have to trust me on this. Just don't work there, alright?"
"Then tell me why." You can't just be all mysterious and expect people to follow your orders, okay?
"Just don't. It's not the right place for you ." Lu Aotian sighed. It was just not the right time to explain such things. He hoped she would just stop being stubborn and listen.
"Okay, I wasn't even planning to work with them anyway. I only need Mr. Baker to help me with something."
Lu Aotian was relieved. At least she would not meet people she shouldn't.
"Then, if you want to work for a studio, Elite Fashion World is always open for you." Lu Aotian took the chance to scout a designer.
Elite Fashion World was a subsidiary of Lu Enterprise. It was a gathering of many award winning designers and was totally unrivaled.
Even the best known designer, Dai Yuran, came from Elite Fashion World. They had set a record of producing winners in ten out of twelve of the design awards two years ago. Previously if Wan Jia was not working for Yun Xuan's studio then Lu Aotian would have recruited her into Elite Fashion World.
"Not interested, I want to start my own studio." She said indifferently.
"Then I wish you all the best." How regretful. If Wan Jia was to join his studio, with her talents and determination, she could easily topple those golden designers from Elite Fashion World in just a short amount of time. He naturally knew this better than anyone else since he had seen her drafts before.
The next day, Wan Jia woke up earlier than usual and scrutinized her design drafts thoroughly before she made her way to the restaurant Mr. Baker had told her to go.

The man was already there when Wan Jia arrived. The girl was wearing a formal navy blue skirt and a white blouse. She had tucked her blouse in, making the skirt outline her slim waist and slightly curvy hips.
Her long wavy hair was tied up in a neat high ponytail and swayed slightly when she sashayed in her long beautiful legs. Together with her very light make up, she looked like a typical young office beauty.
"Mr Baker." She smiled lightly as she shook his hand before sitting at his signal.
"Just call me Alex."
"We met for official business, so of course am going to call you Mr. Baker" she smiled.
"As you wish then, but I'll still call you Wanwan."
After some small talk, Wan Jia went straight to the point.
"You want to start a studio?" Mr. Baker looked extremely shocked. "I thought you wanted to become a model."
"Become a model? Mr. Baker, you're too funny. Designing is my forte. I only lack business patners." Actually, she knew many people in the field but all of them were from Yun Xuan's studio. Of course she wasn't going to scout people from that side. After all they thought she and Yun Xuan were one person. Only a few very close people knew the substitution issue.
"Why don't you try modelling? You're beautiful enough and you used to be a goddess after all." Mr. Baker gazed at her. She didn't know it but he had even come with a contract to sign her in as a model thinking she wanted to become one.
"Mr. Baker, you're too kind. But I settled on this permanently."
After a few hours of discussion, they finalmy came to a conclusion. Starting a studio out of practically nothing was too hard. She would face many challenges especially when it came to the market.

Therefore, he adviced her to participate in something that would make her popular, something like the Golden Rookie Designer Awards that was going to be held in one month. The Golden Awards were split into two categories.This was because the public had complained about new inexperienced designers competeing in the same frame as those who have been in the field for years. Therefore, the Golden Rookie Designer Awards always preceeded the main Golden Designer Awards.
Each studio was given a chance to nominate two rookies. Although it was a competition among designers, the ultimate reward had to go to a studio. Therefore, no individual designers were allowed.
For this reason, Mr. Baker led Wan Jia to Mondial Studios. The two of them agreed that since she only wanted to gain exposure, her contract clearly stated that she belonged to Mondial Studios for a month and if she won the award, she would be free to leave but if she lost she would have to continue working for them for a year. Of course Mr. Baker would only agree to such an arrangement after seeing just how talented she was. She would definitely elavate their studio within just one month.
He even found himself wishing for her failure... After reading the terms and conditions, Wan Jia put her signature on the contract before remembering something and her back stiffened.
Southside Villas.
In Lu Aotian's study room.
Wan Jia was trembling nervously.
"Why did you not want me to join Mondial Studios?" She asked coyly.
"Did you join?"
"... I'm just curious."
Lu Aotian looked at her and sighed.
"You definitely did. I know that look."
"Then can you tell me why so that I'm at least prepared?"
"I'll tell you if you call me 'husband'."
"Lu Aotian!" She gritted her teeth. She was dying out of fear. Could he assess the situation first?
"Fine, since you'll know anyway.
The CEO..."
"What's wrong with the CEO?"
"Not the CEO, it's his daughter...."
"If you don't speak, I'll slap you!"
Sigh, "The CEO's daughter is Mo Zilian."

Terminal
My heart was shattered that day. It was on that day that I realized that life had an end, and that mine was coming. It was on that day that I realized that I was going to die. Leukemia, they told me. It's almost over. I didn't know what to do after that. I thought that maybe it would be best to die right then, get it over with. I thought that I could push myself away from all my friends, all my family, stop them from missing me after I was gone. I thought that I could handle it on my own, that perhaps the world was better off without me. I was wrong. So please help me, I'm dying. Save me, I'm falling. They tell me I won't survive. Please catch me, because if you don't, I'll shatter. I can't grab on anymore, I can't keep fighting. It's going to swallow me up. My name is Alyssa Gray, and by the time you finish reading this, I'll be dead. ________________________________ A few warnings and things to note: -I've put up the tramatising content tag due to a lot of mentions on death, dying, illness, and a mother who tends to be rather cruel. I know that I take a perspective that many will strongly disagree with, and I'm okay with that. Just be warned that this isn't lighthearted stuff. This is real, and death is real, and this part streaches beyond the fiction into reality. -I'm going to say a minor spoiler, but I don't want it to take you unaware because it is something to be aware of. At one point, my MC attempts suicide and fails. It's a very violent scene and I will put up the gore tag after writing this, and it's also just really depressing. If this will be triggering, you need to be aware of this before you read it. -This is a christian book. It may go against some of your beliefs. I hope that you can read and comment anyway even if some of it does not sit well with you. Credits for the cover go to the user 'Media in Sanity'. Your help and assitance has meant so much to me, God bless you in your writing and your endevours. A proud member of WriTE. I've promised to finish this fiction and update it at least once a month. My schedule is very irregular, and I'm working on that, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that this book stays out there. I'm not ending it until it's done.
