LOGINThe discussion on Reddit was quickly heating up:
[Why didn’t she sketch a draft first? How could she know what patterns to stitch without a plan?]
[This fabric is too good to ruin. It’d be such a waste.]
[Did she already have the design in her mind?]
[Speaking of money, I have a question: Mia has so many skills, so why does she wear such cheap clothes?]
[Maybe she’s just financially struggling? Or maybe she’s trying to confuse us? Ugh

Wolves rely on instincts and senses to hunt. She can easily do quilting by feel; it’s no surprise.][Fuck! Everyone head to Jevon and Lilith’s livestream! Something’s happening!][What happened?

That chicken leg was her midnight snack—she wasn’t about to hand it over, no matter what.“Jezin, restaurant waiter, $150 per day. You dirtied a guest’s clothes while serving; $50 deduction, leaving you with $100.”“Yvonne, restaurant waiter, $150 per day. Though you didn’t handle the customer issue well, we’ll give you a pass for trying, so you get the full $150.”When Yuna got to Lilith’s name, she glanced at Jevon: “Pianist, $200 per day. However, since you called in sick this morning and left early without completing your tasks, you’re only getting a $50 humanitarian allowance.”She pulled out a $50 bill, but instead of handing it to Jevon, she turned to me. “As per our previous agreement, Mia inherits this money.”I reached out to take the money, a small thrill rushing through me, but before I could fully savor the moment, Yuna continued calling out names
But she probably didn’t notice that Jevon’s expression was far from pleasant.He watched as I was surrounded by Yvonne and Goselle, with all the cameras aimed at me, even the guests in the restaurant praising me, while he—the Oscar-winning actor, heir to the alpha bloodline of Eternity Pack—stood there like a ghost, completely invisible.It took him a while to suppress his emotions before speaking up, his voice stiff: “The situation is resolved, everyone, go back to your posts and continue working.”Reluctantly, the crowd dispersed. In the corner, the attendant Jezin finally let out a breath—probably relieved that he hadn’t been the one to insult me first, or else he would have had to face the humiliation.Lilith returned to the piano, resuming her role as the “background music tool,” but perhaps because her mood was too foul, she started making mistakes after only a few notes.It wasn&rsq
The real-time translation on my phone should help her understand, and sure enough, when she saw the sudden shift in my attitude, a look of displeasure appeared on her face."Then play it yourself," she challenged. "If you can't, I want all of you to kneel and apologize!"In the werewolf world, kneeling is the greatest disgrace—a sign of submission and defeat, even more shameful than death itself.As her words fell, Lilith suddenly grabbed my sleeve, her eyes red, her voice filled with concern:"Mia, maybe we should just let it go. We're live-streaming, we can't kneel and apologize. Let's just apologize to her properly, and we can forget about this. I've never played that song since I was a kid, and you grew up in the slums—there's no way you could play it. We can talk to Yuna, she’ll figure it out. Please don't drag everyone into this."Her little scheme was crystal clear. Lilith just wanted to use me as a shield—after all,
Lilith’s eyes turned red instantly.This was the first time in her life someone had humiliated her so openly.Her nose trembled. Her fingers clenched unconsciously, nails digging pale marks into her palm.She didn’t even have Simith bloodline. She’d spent a fortune on plastic surgery to look pretty.And this Louwen Pack she‑wolf in front of her, rough features, heavy build, what right did she have to laugh at her?“I… I just wanted to help you solve the problem,” Lilith choked out, voice trembling,“and I didn’t want Jevon to be bullied by you…”But the translation device’s cold mechanical voice turned her pleading into blunt, stiff sentences.Even a tiny nuance shift was enough for the other side to hear it as provocation.“You don’t speak Louwen. How are you helping me? You stupid woman!”The red‑dress woman’s mood was clearly bad today. She was looking for someone to stab with words.Cruel insults poured out nonstop.“You nasty, desperate slut…”“That cheap perfume on you can’t cov
The next morning, because we played so late last night, the director was unusually merciful and didn’t wake us until eight.Still half‑asleep, I climbed onto the bus.The moment I sat down, the director stood up holding a cardboard box.“Today’s group job is food and beverage service at a hotel,” he announced.“Everyone’s position will be decided by drawing lots.”Before his words even finished, Jevon reached in first impatiently and pulled two slips.“Restaurant manager and pianist.”Goselle’s eyes went wide. She couldn’t help complaining,“Restaurant manager and pianist count as ‘service staff’ too?”The director pushed up his glasses seriously.“I say it counts, so it counts. Any position the hotel needs counts.”“Then I want to draw a manager position too,” Goselle said with a grin, grabbing my arm.“Mia, you should draw something like ‘CEO.’”I reached in casually.Both Goselle and I pulled the same slip:“Restaurant server.”Goselle howled like she’d been stabbed.I just smiled
