Chapter 207
A long and heavy sigh escaped her as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. As she recalled the discussion with Mika again, Fang Su Jin began to hesitate.
Her teacher agreed that an exhibition in F Country would be a great opportunity for her as a painter. Her name and her paintings would be known to art fans.
When Fang Su Jin looked at her teacher’s face, she could tell that her teacher wanted her to agree with it.
Previously, Fang Su Jin had discussed with her parents regarding this matter. They were very supportive of her hobby and talent. Naturally, they were very supportive to let her have an exhibition in F Country.
In the end, her parents would let her decide. Whether she wanted to do it or not will depend on her decision.
Fang Su Jin was still reluctant.
She liked painting. However, searching for fame was not something she was after. Moreover, as the daughter of the Fang family, she did not have to worry about making money through her paintings.
However, the people around her have been very supportive of her interest from the very beginning. Fang Su Jin thought that, even if she did not want fame, she could do it to make them proud of her.
.....
Fang Su Jin stayed in the bathroom for a long time thinking of the proposal that Mika had made.
Realizing that he had stayed for a while, Fang Su Jin dried her hands and came out. As she turned to the corner, Fang Su Jin was surprised to find that Mika was leaning on the wall.
The man’s expression lit up as soon as he saw her. “Miss Fang.”
“Why are you here?” Fang Su Jin could not help but be on guard against Mika. Although the man seemed like a gentleman, the way he looked at her was making her uncomfortable.
Whenever her teacher was not around, the way Mika looked at her almost felt as if he was undressing her with his eyes.
“You have been going away for too long,” Mika said. “Teacher Jiang is worried.”
Fang Su Jin pursed her lips into a thin line. She also realized that she has been going away for too long. It was just that... there were a few things in her mind.
“Then, let’s go back quickly,” Fang Su Jin said before she turned around.
The hallway was a little quiet and she was worried about being alone with Mika.
“Miss Fang.”
Mika’s voice stopped her in her track.
Just as she had turned around, Fang Su Jin found that the man was standing too close to her. Instinctively, she took a few steps back to create a distance.
Her action made Mika chuckle. He leaned over to touch a few strands of her hair. “Are you so afraid of me?”
“Of course, not.” Fang Su Jin forced herself to keep her calm. “But I’m not comfortable with someone getting too close to me.” Her lips turned into a faint smile. “There should be some personal space.”
Mika laughed. He raised both hands and spoke, “Relax. I don’t mean anything. I just wanted to ask you about your decision. Miss Fang, the perks that I have presented to you did not sound that bad, right? How about it? Have you thought it through? I promised you that I am the best agent who could help you make a breakthrough in F Country.”
Fang Su Jin did not answer him quickly. She lowered her eyes and spoke, “Let’s head back to my teacher first. I will tell you my decision then.”
With that, the two of them turned around and headed back to their seat.
Both Fang Su Jin and Mika were unaware that there was someone else who was keeping his eyes on them. The moment they head back to the dining hall, the boy turned around to his table as well.
Teacher Jiang raised his head when he noticed that someone was approaching. His lips tilted into a smile when he saw her student.
“Su Jin.”
Fang Su Jin nodded. “Teacher Jiang.” She sat down and took a sip from her drink.
“Have you made your decision?”
Fang Su Jin lowered her head. “I have thought things through. Teacher Jiang, the exhibition in F Country is a good opportunity for me. However, I still think that this move is still too early for a solo exhibition.”
Teacher Jiang looked at his student in surprise. However, his expression changed again and a smile appeared. “Very well. If that is what you have decided. Then, I will follow your decision.”
When Teacher Jiang had chosen to take Fang Su Jin under his wings, he already knew that the girl was someone who liked paintings and did not care much about anything else.
For Fang Su Jin, painting was her hobby.
Even so, Teacher Jiang valued her talent and decided to continue to guide her.
Teacher Jiang looked at Mika and flashed him an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry. But Su Jin already made her decision. I hope that there will be an opportunity to work together in the future.”
Mika was unhappy, but he did not allow the disappointment to show on his face.
The three of them exchanged a brief conversation before Mika insisted to pay for their meal.
Just as they were leaving, Teacher Jiang’s phone rang. When he ended the call, Teacher Jiang turned to Fang Su Jin with an apologetic look on his face.
“Su Jin, a friend called and I’m going to meet him,” Teacher Jiang said. “Will it be alright if you return to the hotel by yourself?”
“Teacher Jiang, I will be fine.”
The man heaved a faint sigh. After saying a few words to Fang Su Jin, he turned around and left in a cab.
Fang Su Jin was about to leave the restaurant when she realized that someone was beside her. She flashed Mika a smile and spoke, “Mr. Mika, I have to leave now. I hope that there will be an opportunity for collaboration in the future.”
Of course, Fang Su Jin was only being nice. Even if she wanted to have an exhibition in F Country in the future, she will not be looking for this man.
Without waiting for his reply, Fang Su Jin turned around wanting to leave. However, just as she had taken a few steps, someone grabbed her wrist, pulling her back.
