Then someone called Vanessa,

“Wait a minute.”

As she turned her head, she saw a lady with soft blonde hair and clear purple eyes.
She was accompanied by two tall men and the flow of elegance hinted that she was an aristocratic young lady.
Vanessa, who was staring blankly at her lovely face, asked belatedly,

“…..Who are you?”

Then she replied that she saw what happened in front of the gallery earlier.
When asked if she was drawing, Vanessa was frustrated and told the woman whom she saw for the first time.

She, who was just listening, asked if she could see her work.
She hesitated because it was a shameful work that no one welcomed.

I’m going to go home and burn it anyway, but it’s better to show it to at least one person.’

As she thought so, she had nothing to show.
Vanessa showed her charcoal paintings that she had painted.
The lady didn’t say anything for a while, then grabbed Vanessa’s hand and shouted.

“Contract with me!”

Vanessa blinked because she thought she heard it wrong for a moment.

“No, not like this.
Let’s sit somewhere and talk.”

Vanessa was dragged away.
When she came to her senses, she sat in a luxury tea house nearby.
Vanessa,

who checked the menu, was surprised.
A cup of tea was more expensive than the cost of two meals.

“I’ll buy it.
Don’t feel pressured.”

“…… Thank you.”

Vanessa had no pride to put forward.
If a word of thanks could save you money, it would be cheap.

“What’s your name?”

“Va, Vanessa.”

“That’s a pretty name.”

She smiled.
Introducing herself as Lilia, she made suggestions one after another.

“If you don’t mind, won’t you sign a contract with

me?”

“Contract…..?”

“I can provide as much support as you want, such as painting materials and art galleries, I’ll pay the down payment in advance.”

Vanessa only opened her mouth at the tremendous proposal.
There was no reason to make such a proposal to her, an unknown person.

“…..
Why did you choose me?”

“I really liked the work.”

It was a crystal clear answer.
Vanessa looked at Lilia with trembling eyes.
She was about to be swayed by her angel-like appearance.

…… Maybe she’s a scammer.
The world is wide and rough, so there must have been a swindler with such a lovely face.
But now Vanessa had nothing more to lose, even to a scammer.

“If you give me a moment to think…….”

“How many days later should we meet again?”

“N, No.
Just a moment…”

Vanessa urgently shouted, fearing that Lilia would leave like this.
Lilia drank tea leisurely, telling her to do so.
It was elegant even though she was just drinking tea.

Vanessa, who was briefly distracted by the appearance, shook her head.

Will this opportunity come to me in the future?

Lilia was the only one who said she liked her work, which everyone had ignored, except for her family

“That…..
I don’t have money.
Will it be okay?”

“Of course.”

Lilia smiled softly.
Vanessa, who breathed a sign of relief inside, made eye contact with Lilia for the first time.

“I want to sign a contract.”

The voice seemed to tremble badly at the end.

“Frances.”

Lilia reached out her palm and called someone, Immediately, a man with blue hair handed over a pen and paper.

Upon receiving it, Lilia called a man with navy hair who looked older.
When she whispered something, he left right away.
Only the man called Frances stood in a straight escorting posture.

“This is a temporary contract.
How much do you want in advance?”

Vanessa thought about it.
She herself had something called shame.
However, if she focused on painting, she would not be able to work at a restaurant.

Fortunately, her younger siblings met with the bakery owner and didn’t go hungry, but there were monthly living expenses to worry about.
There were many things to spend money on because of her siblings.
Vanessa carefully opened her mouth.

“…1500 Kroel.”

“1500……?”

Vanessa looked at Lilia’s reaction that screamed it was ridiculous.
As expected, it must have been too shameful to receive two months’ salary at once from working at a restaurant.
As Vanessa hurriedly tried to correct, Lilia said,

“It’s too little.”

“……What?”

What do you mean it’s too little? It was a large amount that she had seriously thought about.

Did I look so skinny? Lilia muttered to herself, then banged on the table.

“Let’s do 150,000 Kroel.”

Vanessa was instantly dizzy at the huge amount of money.
It was exactly 100 times the amount she asked for.
Vanessa froze at an amount beyond her imagination.
Then Lilia tilted her head and suggested it again.

“Don’t you like it? Then 300,000 Kroel?
