557 hidden threat

The portrait was that of a beautiful woman that was drawn with black and white paint, her lips painted red as she looked at the people through the canvas with a seductive smirk on her lips. There was nothing different about the portrait from the other portraits that were hung on the walls of the other companies but she has never seen anyone pray in front of those portraits ever before.

Her eyes flickered as she looked at the portrait before she turned to look at the young woman who was praying in front of the portrait and then smiled at the woman with a glint in her eyes as she softly and elegantly called her, " You seem to be praying at the wrong place," she told her as she crossed her arms and then glanced at the portrait. " I think if you want your boyfriend to propose to you then you should be praying to someone else other than wasting your time here."

When the young receptionist heard someone talk badly about the portrait she wanted to scold the person but when she saw that the person who said those was the new model, her expression softened as she looked at Song Yan and told her patiently, " You don't seem to know that this portrait was brought here by a very famous master. It is said that this portrait is blessed with a power that would bless the one who prays in front of it."

Song Yan heard this and her eyes glinted slightly but that glint was gone before the receptionist could see it, " Oh I see," Song Yan said as she looked at the portrait and then turned to glance at the receptionist who was still mumbling something in front of the portrait, Song Yan looked at the cadaveric black mist that was covering the face of the young receptionist turned even darker.

Her eyes widened slightly as she turned to look at the portrait of the woman who was still smiling at the world, her red lips looks extremely glaring. And the more she looked at the portrait the more she was reminded of the red dress that has been fixed in her head even if she couldn't remember everything from her past.

" I see, it looks like you are having a tough time," Song Yan looked at the young receptionist who was done praying in front of the portrait. She took a small talisman out of her pocket and then stretched her hand out to give that talisman to the woman who looked at her with a confused look on her face.

Seeing that the young receptionist was confused, Song Yan explained patiently, " This talisman was given to me by a very powerful master, he said that as long as I have this talisman with me, I will be able to get the job of working as the model in this company, see don't you think that the talisman worked?"

When the receptionist heard what Song Yan said, her eyes glimmered slightly as she looked at the talisman and then she immediately took the talisman from Song Yan. If it was before she wouldn't have done something like this but it has been seven years since she has been dating her boyfriend and even after mentioning marriage again and again in front of her boyfriend, she couldn't still succeed which was why she was slowly running out of option and now the situation was even dire she was pregnant with his child and if they didn't get married now then she would be treated like a vixen by her family who ruined their name.

She has been trying to get her boyfriend to understand her situation but that man was still a rising idol there was no way he could get married right now much less have a child but the young receptionist named Yu Pan wished that she could at least get a ring on her finger that way she would be able to avoid getting scolded by her parents.

And as long as she gave birth to her child, she will be able to keep her man as well after all if her man wanted to keep his job then he will have to stay next to her.

" Thank you so much," at this moment Yu Pan wanted to get as much luck as possible seeing that Song Yan was handing her a talisman that was said to be lucky, she was really grateful. She did not care whether it worked or not, she wanted to keep it with her such that she will be able to get what she wanted as quickly as possible.

She did not even ask Song Yan whether the talisman would work or whether it came from reliable sources or not.

Once she got the talisman, Yu Pan turned around and then left, Song Yan watched the young woman leave as she turned to look at the portrait that was hanging in front of her, it would be wrong of her to say that she felt something from this portrait.

If she hadn't seen Yu Pan pray in front of this portrait she would have never paid any attention to this portrait but now that she saw the cadaveric black mist darken around Yu Pan when she was done praying for attaining more luck, Song Yan knew that something was wrong with this woman's portrait.

However, no matter how she looked at the portrait she couldn't see anything. Fang Yanli who was bored after flying around the company returned to Song Yan's side when she saw that Song Yan was looking at the portrait with great attention, she couldn't help but ask, " What are you looking at?"

" What do you think it is?" She told everything that happened with Yu Pan and then explained to Fang Yanli what was going on in the company. " I think that something is wrong with this picture," she was leaning against the glass railing of the second floor and she kicked herself off the railing once she was done looking at the portrait from all sides. " But I can't find anything at all, it's weird don't you think so."

Song Yan realised that every time she thought that something was linked with the woman in red, she could not see anything past the layer she has built.
