I lowered my head almost to my knees.
Suddenly, Liam spoke with a deep voice,
"How much did you earn?"
"Ah?" I suddenly looked up and happened to find Liam looking at me.
His eyes were very captivating.
My tongue tied up and I became stuttering. "A-Around 2 thousand."
The manager sneered. "Is Liam only worth this much?"
I whispered, "The current market is not good..."
Liam took off his mask and turned to look at me.
Sensing his gaze, I buried my head almost close to my chest.
I dared not look him in the eye now.
"Una, in high school you sold my photos for two dollars each, now you sell my merchandise photos for 20 dollars each.
"Are you so short of money?
"Look up, you are ugly with your head down."
I slowly lifted my head and saw Liam's face.
Compared to high school, his features were more distinct without his callowness.
He looked even thinner than in the photos.
"I'm sorry."
I really needed money, but I didn't expect what I did to have such a big impact.
Liam tapped the sofa with his finger, looked at me with a clenched fist, and raised his gaze: "Then why did you quit the industry?"
