Chapter 9 - Trap

Last night had been horrifying. When they had finally finished eating, Yu Yan hurriedly made her way home, not letting the old master come up with any excuses to make her stay longer. Even if they caught the traitor, there was no guarantee that Yun Feng would be caught. She had to set her trap in motion, punish her with other means if necessary. She would make her so miserable, that Yun Feng would rather wish she was dead.

Just as she was thinking someone rung her doorbell. She went to the door to see who it was. Speak of the devil, Yun Feng had presented herself at Yu Yan's doorsteps. Looking at the monitor she could see how impatient she was. She probably needed the design soon, hence she had personally come to get them. Grinning evilly, she waited until the woman becomes more and more irritated.

Opening the door only after she had waited long enough, Yu Yan let the lady in. "What brings you here without any notice?" "Ah Yan, your still angry aren't you? Yesterday I didn't mean to imply that. I just wanted to help you out." Even though she was trying to look pitiful, it was obvious she was trying to hold herself back while grinding her teeth. "I wasn't angry at you, just disappointed. After all your my friend, you should be on my side!" "Yes, I'm sorry. I'll think through properly before saying anything in the future." She was at the brink of exploding. She had to let her go now or she would not willingly walk into her trap.

"Ah Feng, I have to go to the bathroom, wait at the coach for me." With those words, she headed towards the bathroom. That evil woman would not let this chance go. She had planned everything well, giving her enough time to get what she wanted. Since she coveted the designs then let her have them, if she ever dared to use them, she could only wait for her career to be ruined.

That blasted woman, how dare she ruin the plan she had used so much time to make. She was already giving her face by being so nice to the stupid orphan, but she dared to have everything she ever wanted. She would destroy her, take everything she has. Yun Feng was already being nice by using her designs as her own. Letting that stupid woman's designs be under the name of such a great designer-to-be, was already lifetime with of luck, but she dared to block her. She would see how Yu Yan would obstruct her. While Yu Yan was in the bathroom she rapidly snuck inside the study and found the desk littered with designs. One look and you could see that these were masterpieces. Originally, she had only thought to take a few, so Yu Yan would not know that some had gone missing. However, looking at them now she could not help but be greedy. So what if she took them all, it's not like she could do anything. She would already have given them to the Li corporation as her designs, there would be nothing that Yu Yan could do. Looking at the designs, she could only want them more. Instead of coming to the Li corporations with a few designs, she could even make a collection. Not knowing that this was a trap set by, Yu Yan she took all them and quickly put them inside her bag. Making her way back to the living room, she sat down as if nothing had happened.

After giving Yun Feng ample time to do her deed, Yu Yan exited the bathroom. Looking at the other woman it was obvious her mood had improved. "Ah Yan, I just remembered I had something important to do today. I have to go now, see you later!" Saying that she runs off so fast, not even letting Yu Yan say anything.

Ones Yu Feng had left, Yu Yan excitedly made her way to the study. When she laid her eyes upon the desk, she was left stunned for a moment. No wonder she had been in such a hurry. The greedy woman hadn't even left one single piece behind to hide the fact that she had stolen her designs.

**********

Yun Feng was sitting opposite to an older but elegant woman. This woman was excitedly looking at the three designs she had been shown. Looking at the expression of the other, it was obvious she liked the designs. The older woman looked back contently. "These designs are good. They were done by you?" "Yes, of course. If you give me the job, I could promise that I can make more. I could guarantee a collection within a year. I still have more designs that aren't finished yet, but within a month or two I can guarantee the designs of a hole collection." The other woman was a manager within the designer department, though she was not a designer herself she could tell that these designs were treasures. "All right, if you can launch a successful collection within a year, I can guarantee a promotion." "Thank you, ma'am." Yun Feng humbly replied.

After signing the contract she happily went home. She could not wait to show the world how great she was, surpassing Yu Yan and stepping on her like the bug she was. She could foresee her future as an award-winning designer, while Yu Yan would be rotting away in a dump. She would use this opportunity to get close to CEO Li and even become the future, Mrs Li. 'Yu Yan, you just wait what is yours now will eventually all be mine.'
