I’m Sorry But I Love You

Catherine nodded since a condition was always attached to such negotiations, “What does he want?” “The company that wants to buy your rights is offering a high sum, but they hope you can modify something in your work.”

As their topic was about work, Lydia resumed her usual practical and efficient self, “The bonds between families and friends that are portrayed in your comic is definitely heartrending, but the only low point is that there is no romantic relationship being illustrated. If you can add on a love line in your story, it will bring massive benefits for both the comic itself and also for the later adaptations. You know very well that the drama nowadays is full of love lines. Who knows if the popularity of your comic would go to greater heights after you add on some love lines?”

Catherine shook her head, “I’m afraid that can’t be done. The reason I chose mystery as the genre for my comics is because I don’t wish to draw any romantic stories.”

She wouldn’t be able to come up with love scenes, nor could she draw them.

When she was younger, she loved Anderson, so she had drawn a few girly comics. However, after what had happened, whenever she tried to draw some romantic elements into her story, she would always come up with nothing. Her heart would ache whenever her mind wandered to such thoughts.

“Why is that?” Lydia gasped in shock while secretly thinking that she would never lack people who were pursuing her romantically since she had such outstanding appearance. It would be too easy for her to write up some romantic stories.

“I can’t draw those scenes.” Catherine smiled faintly, and her pretty face looked slightly lonelier, “I don’t believe in love, and I don’t want to draw elements of love too. If my current work doesn’t suit the taste of the buyer, then I would suggest we end our negotiations here.”

Lydia was indeed shocked after confirming that she was not joking. She said with much regret, “The price offered by this company is really something. Currently, they offer five…”

Catherine immediately gestured to stop Lydia from continuing, “Don’t ever tell me the number. I will feel pain in my heart.”

If she could sell the rights to her work, it wouldn’t just be simple benefits she would be getting. She would be able to provide more for Lincoln and Sophia, and her career would be elevated to greater heights. Catherine was surely moved by this proposition, but she was very aware that due to the genre she had chosen, her comic wouldn’t sell really well. Now that she refused to add on romantic elements into her story, she would be worsening her own situation.

Lydia stopped persuading her. After collaborating with Catherine for two years, she was very clear with Catherine’s temper.
There would be no use for her to continue persuading Catherine, so she changed the topic and discussed about their upcoming fan signing event.

After they settled all matters concerning work, the two of them ate together. Then, Catherine returned to her hotel room to touch up on her make-up and changed into an evening gown. She put on a new style of make-up while checking the message sent by Anderson. She hailed a taxi to the location as mentioned in the text message.

The lighting surrounding City W showered the whole sky in blinding whiteness, which made the sky looked as clear as day time.
The atmosphere was even more bustling than City A. While she was absent from this city for the past few years, she had buried all of her happiness and sadness in this city where she had grown up.
