A month passed and their path meets again...

"Levi, you should really find a client soon. It's already been months since the last client you had," Matteo reminded Levi again as he was done rejecting 3 manuscripts for the day.

"Not until I found my taste," Levi replied and started to draw random characters on his computer.

"You'll be jobless if it keeps coming like this."

"It's better to be jobless than to waste my talent on some shtty stories."

Matteo decided to shut up because Levi won't listen to him no matter what.

Bria's Point of View

Publishing...Done!

I jumped in excitement because my last chapter on my book, "He Loves Him, Not", was already published!

It's my first BL book ever done written! Because of excitement, I made a manuscript about it so I'll be ready whenever I'll decide to find an illustrator to my books.

Luckily, there is an illustration company nearby!

My heart is beating like crazy and my smile is reaching both of my ears. Fck! This excitement is driving me crazy!

Maybe I should really pass a manuscript to an illustrator?! Fcked, how happy can I be if it was accepted!

Calm down Bria, you still haven't edited the last chapter—NO WILL DO!

Illustration company, here I come!

Crap! This is my first time on an Illustration Company and my knees are trembling from excitement and nervousness.

I saw a man with a uniform same with the staffs working here, since he's the nearest one around me, I tried to talk to him.

"Uhmm, where can I pass my manuscript for an illustration?" I asked and caught a glimpse of the mini template on his left chest, it says, Matteo Vega.

"Oh, come to my office." He gestured his hand to follow him and I did.

We went to his office and he searched for something in his desks. His face lit up when he found what he's finding.

It was a coupon bond with some printed letters in it and some blanks, probably some kind of a form.

"Can I check your work?" I handed him my manuscript and he handed me a copy of the form for me to fill up.

I started to fill up and he scanned through the pages, "You're into Boys' Love?"

I nodded while blushing. It's embarassing to admit it in front of a boy, though.

I scanned through the form and filled it up with answers. Name, address, birthday, etc.

I saw a choice about what kind of artwork I wanted. I saw the name "Levi Davison" in it. It's the same artist who drew the manga/comic "Linked"!

Fck this is awesome! I didn't think twice but to choose him as my illustrator.

I passed my form into Sir Matteo and he looked at it thoroughly.

"Choose another illustrator," He sighed and handed me back the form.

"Why?"

"Do you know the looks of Levi?" I became confused because I didn't know what he's talking about.

"If it's about his looks, I don't care if my illustrator's face is as bad as trash. I just want his artworks." Matteo smiled after I said that.

"We'll give it a shot. Go talk to Levi on the second floor, he's probably there." I just nodded and went outside of his office.

I walked slowly towards the office's exit but then came running towards at the second floor because of excitement!

Mr. Illustrator, here I come!
