Chapter 3 - The Designer's Wrath

Fu Quan: Light, I'm getting married :))) Here's the invitation. Go and fly here to Sanya to attend my wedding. [Picture]

[You are cordially invited in Fu Quan and Ji Mei's wedding.

We reserved one (1) seat for you.

We're hoping to see you there!]

Light's brows furrowed when he saw the message sent to him by a college friend. This friend of him is an a**hole when they were in college. He changes his girlfriend frequently. The longest span of relationship he had with a girl was 2 weeks.

And he's actually getting married...

Light immediately typed a message to send to him.

Light Helios Lim: Eh, how much did you pay your bride for her to marry you?

When Light sent the message, he opened his writing app and started writing a new chapter of his story. When he's writing, he can't be disturbed 'til he finished writing the entire chapter.

Light is posting his stories in a writing platform called Words by You. He's using 'HeavenlySweetPotato' as his pen name. He actually gained more than 4 million fans through writing though writing was just a past time hobby for him. In his first year of writing, he was working in a Cyber Security Company but he quitted when he started to become a manhwa artist.

Drawing is also his past time hobby and stress-reliever when he was still working. He posts short scenes in his Hello account, pretending to be a fan of HeavenlySweetPotato. He's actually making fanarts of his own novels. Gladly, no one noticed that he and HeavenlySweetPotato are the same person.

He used 'Chuan Chuan' as a pen name in the manhwa community. At first, he didn't actually want to make his past time hobby his career but a friend of him started a company and took him in. Light is now an artist under KNK Graphics, at the same time, he's an author under Moonlight Publishing Company.

Light grinned when he posted the chapter he just wrote. He wrote some words to provoke his co-author in Words by You, SakuraKiss.

Light just wanted to piss her off without any particular reason, but he's really joyous when SakuraKiss posts an update whenever he provokes her.

Notifications flooded his account because of his new update. His readers are very fast. It's like they're really waiting for his update, though he didn't announce any schedule of when he'll post the new chapter.

He laughed hard when he read the comments in the new chapter. Almost everyone mentioned SakuraKiss and one reader even posted the screenshot of SakuraKiss' note in her story's latest chapter.

Light really did use her note as a reference for his female character's personality. He's writing a psychological thriller story with a title "Sure It's You". The female lead has a split personality disorder and one of her personalities has an obsession towards astrology. The female lead is a bubbly doctor during the day, and during the night, she's an assassin under an illegal agency. Ironic, right? During the day, she saves people, during the night, she kills people.

Her personality that is obsessed in astrology is the bubbly doctor. There's a deep reason on why she became obsessed with it.

The female lead loves to read astrology articles together with her sister, but her sister was killed. The murderer set everything up like what happened is a suicide, but the female lead was not too stupid to not know that she was killed.

A month after her sister died, another personality of her suddenly existed. The original female lead is the doctor. Her other personality was the assassin which was the female lead's greatest desire. She wants justice for her sister. She wanted to revenge over the person who killed her own sister.

Light's ring tone started to play, so he picked up his phone and answered the caller. It's Fu Quan.

"What do you need? I'm hanging up if you're just going to brag about your marriage." Light immediately said to Fu Quan.

"Chill, man. Ji Mei has a lot of single friends. I can introduce you to some. Right, she also has a gorgeous cousin. A very gorgeous cousin."

"Eh, shut up. Why didn't you marry her cousin instead?"

"That woman is like a wild tigress! I haven't even talked to her but when she's in a video call with Ji Mei, she saw me and glared at me like I have some unsettled issue with her."

"Maybe there really is?"

"I won't even wish to be acquainted with her. Right, I almost missed the main reason why I called you. Have you published any manhwa or book recently?" Fu Quan asked and Light's brows furrowed. Why would he ask about that?

"The latest book I've published is "Read Between the Lines". It's been 3 months since it became available to the market and it's still selling well. The latest manhwa I've published is "Archive". It had been released last week and I'm currently working on the next volume of the manhwa. Why did you ask?"

"I'm thinking if I should still give you money to buy your plane ticket. As for the hotel where you'll stay, you're one of the biggest shareholders of Gold Dragon Hotel here in Sanya. They will provide a presidential suite for you if you give them a call."

"Okay. Then provide me a plane ticket. You're troubling me to go there just to attend your wedding. The travel time from my city to Sanya is more than 18 hours. Just how shameless can you be?" Light spoke.

"Ah, fine. I'll just send you a message regarding the details. For your clothes, you're capable enough to buy it. Don't bother me anymore. See you in my wedding day, Light."

"Alright, see you." Light hung up on Fu Xuan and clicked on the online shopping app on his phone to buy clothes.

He scrolled through the app and saw an American style of suit. He purchased a set and closed the app.

LIGHT looked around the place when he stepped out of the Sanya Phoenix International Airport. It's still the same. Nothing changed since his last visit, which was a month ago.

A car parked in front of Light and a man in his late 20s emerged from the driver's seat. Light grinned at the man.

"Fu Quan." Light greeted and Fu Quan hurried to go near him.

"Welcome to Sanya, Mr. Lim."

"Thank you for your very warm welcome. I am very touched." Light said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"Haha, enter the car, Light. I'll send you to the Gold Dragon Hotel." Fu Quan spoke and entered the car. He sat on the driver's seat.

Light also entered the car and chose to sit in the passenger's seat.

"So, how's your life going?" Fu Quan tried to start a conversation with Light.

"You, my family, and KNK's President are still the only people who knew that HeavenlySweetPotato and Chuan Chuan are the same." Light responded.

"I still want to laugh whenever I hear your manhwa pen name. Do you love me that much that you chose to use Chuan Chuan as your pen name?" Quan is pronounced as Chuan.

"Stop your delusions. KNK's President was just rushing me to think of a name and that time, you were the last person I talked to aside from him. I can only think of your name 'Fu Quan.' There, I thought of Chuan Chuan. It sounds cute and it's also a type of hotpot." Fu Quan's smile shattered because of what Light had said.

"Okay, okay. Why did I even ask in the first place?" After Fu Quan had spoken, their car stopped in front of the entrance of Gold Dragon hotel. Light stepped out of the car and Fu Quan followed him.

Light went directly to the VIP entrance, where you'll be welcomed by a very grand lounge, but he heard an unpleasant noise so he turned to his back and saw that Fu Quan was blocked by the guards.

"Mr., client's driver cannot enter the VIP lounge." The guard said.

"Do you want me to buy this building to prove to you that I am not a driver?"

When the scene was heating up, Light walked towards the guards. The guards faces him and bowed slightly. "Mr. Lim," They greeted.

"Let him in. He's my friend, Fu Quan. His father is the biggest shareholder of this hotel. Also, Fu Quan owns this resort where your hotel building is built." Light said. The guards immediately bowed to Fu Quan.

"We're very sorry, Mr. Fu. We beg for your forgiveness."

"Eh, go and stand up straight. It's fine. I just don't want this to happen again."

The guards stood up straight and Fu Quan and Light entered the VIP lounge.

The receptionist saw them enter and immediately bowed to them. "Good day, Mr. Fu and Mr. Lim."

Light wanted to snort because of the treatment they get. Well, it's quite understandable because he can withdraw his shares out of whim when he's unsatisfied with the employees' service.

"I'm staying here for a week." Light said and the receptionist smiled.

"The only room in the 40th floor was prepared for you, Mr. Lim. It's a presidential suite. Or, you can choose your own room, Mr. Lim."

"It's fine."

"Then Xianggu will lead you there."

A young man entered the VIP lounge and he's holding the keycard of Light's room.

"No need to lead me there. I can manage. Just take care of my luggages." Light pointed to his luggages which were placed near the door. The young man politely nodded at Light and picked up his luggages.

"You're fine here? Then I shall take my leave." Fu Quan spoke and Light simply nodded at him.

LIGHT wasn't in the mood to do anything so he went to the cafe at the ground floor of the hotel and bought himself a drink. He then went to the hotel's lounge to explore a bit.

Light started drinking his coffee when Fu Quan sent him a message. He started typing a response and threw the coffee cup to the trash can he walked past by.

He continued to type a message but suddenly, he felt a hand holding his right arm. He glanced the person who held him and he saw a gorgeous girl whose forehead is furrowed.

"Did you do that on purpose?" The girl asked him, pointing out to the papers placed at the top of the table in the lounge. Light suddenly felt goosebumps over his body. Based on the girl's reaction, killing Light at the moment is not impossible.

"Eh, I thought it was the trash can." Light responded and it seems like the girl was much more angered. He was telling the truth, okay?

The girl let go of him for a while and gathered her things that were ruined by his coffee cup. He didn't even know that he still haven't finished drinking the entire coffee in the cup.

Light was frightened when the girl started pulling him towards the elevator. Of course, Light can't do anything. He'll be meeting his death if he dared to provoke her.

The elevator stopped at the 39th floor, the floor below Light's suite.

The girl continued to pull him and they stopped in front of room 3906. The girl opened the door with her keycard and immediately closed it when both of them entered. The girl let go of her hold on Light's arm. Light thought that he's finally free, but his thoughts were wrong. The devil is just starting.

The girl pushed Light towards the desk inside the hotel room and made him sit at the swivel chair. The girl placed the materials she gathered in the desk and she gave Light an unhappy look.

"Redraw all of that." The girl pointed to the bunch of paper and Light almost fainted when he realized that the papers were sketches of clothing designs.

So this girl is a designer?

Light just shrugged his thoughts of and convinced himself that it's much better to face death than face the gorgeous little devil in front of him.

But of course, he can only follow the devil's order to lessen her anger and save himself.

Light started to draw and he used his own art style in redrawing the designs.
