Mui's back banged against the wall as Yuze forced her into the corner. It was an unused room, different from the previous green rooms which Yuze chose for his 'talk.'
"So you decided to betray me."
Mui looked up as she helplessly tried to reel in her chaotic breaths.
"I didn't betray you. I just used my own designs, that's all-"
He grabbed her jaw, digging his fingers into her cheek.
"And that is what I call betrayal," his no-nonsense, cold voice echoed.
"I had the perfect plan and the perfect outcome but you backed off at the last moment, which is why people are flocking over to Wang Ningli. Wang Xia is biting the dust. Whose fault is that?"
She stared at him, her eyes turning misty.
"What…do you mean that she is biting the best? Everybody appreciated my clothes too…!"
"But could you win over your sister?"
She bit her lip hard.
"Not only that, you couldn't do even the simple thing of ruining her designs."
"I-I did!"
