Chapter 595 weighs like a hippo (1/2)
”Ahhh!!!”
A blood curdling cry escapes Ning Mei's mouth and she falls flat onto the bathroom floor.
The bullet was indeed aimed at her, but it did not penetrate through her skull, instead it grazed her right arm. It wasn't deep, but for someone who has never shot at, the pain was too much for her to take in.
She bites down on her bottom lip and crawls to the bathtub. Forcing herself to sit up from the floor, she leans against the wall and held her arm that had little blood. Her chest heaves heavily as she stares with teary eyes at the still opened door.
Seeing that the mask man had not followed her in, she sighs in relief. Maybe he is only after Director Yeun and is giving her a chance to live.
”Phone… Where is my phone?”
She whispers under her breath and frantically search for her phone with her eyes.
”It's here.”
The same deep voice sounds as light footsteps approach the bathroom. The man's dark figure towers at the door and held a phone out to the rookie model.
Ning Mei's eyes widen in horror when she saw that it was her phone. She had forgotten that she left it in the living room.
”W-What do you w-w-want?”
Terrified out of her wits, she cries loudly, and her face distorted into pure ugliness.
”I haven't done anything. P-Please let me live. Wuuu!”
Seeing the naked woman cry so pitifully, there was no reaction from the mask man. He drops the phone onto the floor, then steps on it and breaks the screen. Taking another step inside, he reaches for a bathrobe.
”Put it on.”
He toss the robe at Ning Mei and it covers her trembling body.
Afraid of being killed, she quickly oblige and puts it on. However, despite her doing as told, she still continues to cry.
”Get up.”
Her shoulders jump at the words and she secures the belt around her waist. Not wanting to make any mistake, she force her trembling body to stand up.
”P-Please, don't kill me. I have money. I can give it all to you.”
”Renounce.”
The man interrupts her with one word that caused Ning Mei's eyes to widen. Endless streams of tears fell down her cheeks as she could not believe what she just heard.
She was testing her luck in trying to bribe the man as people love money. However, that one word was enough for her to understand the situation.
Director Yeun had abandoned her and sold her off.
She press her lips tightly together and her fingers curl into tight fists. Even when her nails dug deeply into her skin, she did not care.
Her path to becoming Imperial's number one model hasn't even been reach and now, she's going to die like this?
No, she cannot die. Until she hears that Yue Ling and Zhao Ya'Er have been taken care of, she will never be able to die peacefully.
Staring at the eyes of the mask man, she takes a deep breath. Ignoring her red swollen eyes from crying, she slowly undo the belt that she had just tied.
