I’m Sorry But I Love You

“There are many similar people in the world.” Catherine Johnson felt relieved to know that he is not a girl, “Especially good looking people,” she teased.

“Hey, you are such an interesting people,” Ray approached Cathy and asked, “Have you got a boyfriend?” “Do you think I'm suitable?” Ray dressed like a woman but did not look strange when he did not speak, before Cathy pushed him away, Joseph Carter who stood beside him grabbed him, “Ray, she is Ethan James’ girlfriend, Anderson Clark's ex-wife.” “It's you.” Ray looked Cathy up and down, “But you have such a good-looking face, | don’t mind to compete with them then.” Joseph sneered, “You compete with Ethan and Anderson at city W? You really treat here as your territory.” Ray looked frivolously at Cathy, “It's worthy for the beauty.” Cathy felt uncomfortable, as her family background turned poor, she becjust like a goods that can be judged and snatched by whoever that was more powerful.

Luckily the lift arrived, Cathy got out from the lift without saying anything.

“I didn’t expect that you know Mr. Carter,” Julia sighed, “Our Mr. Carter is such an amazing guy.” Cathy said nonchalantly, “We have met once by chance, but not familiar with him.” Julia smiled faintly, “Young Master Ray is the kind of guy who has such a temper as if he has collection addiction whenever he meets good-looking women, he feels happy only if he gets their hands on.” Cathy looked at Julia and asked, “What about you?” The smile on Julia’s face froze, not knowing if it was Cathy's misconception, she can read desolation from her face, “I'm just an ordinary staff, he seems to be dissolute but actually he does not play around with people on his own territory.” This was Joseph's company. How can it be considered as Ray's territory? Cathy said to herself, but she did not question closely further.

Julia brought Cathy to the gdepartment which was quite different from the elegance of other departments, most of the people were sitting at the working space wearing plaid shirt, with glasses, staring at the computer.

“Caught a bug.” Out of sudden, someone let out a shout and shocked Cathy.

“They are responsible for the problems of the gprogram, don’t be scared, usually except going for food and to toilet, basically they will stick to their work space, | take you to find the person-in-charge for this New Hero.” Again, Julia brought Cathy to a small room, there were roughly 8 or 9 people in a heated discussion over something. Julia clapped her hands.

The originally intense scene stopped immediately and all looked in the direction of the door, “Ms. Wood, why did you cover? Along with a beautiful woman.” ‘This is the concept artist | found for you, she draws comics, has also learnt concept art before.” Julia smiled gently, “But she has never received any business manuscript from our company.” “Welcome, welcome, we are worried about being short-handed.” A short-haired girl was the first to clap. A young man stood up, looked at Cathy with disgust, “We need a concept artist, what for you found a comic artist.” Cathy did not get angry, she opened the computer bag, “Although I did not receive any business manuscript, | drew sduring my free time, how about you take a look at it first?” The gaming concept art was different with comics but there were still large parts of them similar with each other.

Cathy opened the file in the computer and showed it right in front of the man who had just teased her.

The man was about to taunt her, but he could not say anything when he saw Cathy's file.

His impression of drawing comics was to draw beautiful figure in which the setting, character, optical logic can be neglected, and the drawing was dull and spiritless.

However, Cathy’s drawing was far different from what he imagined, her every figures cwith background setting, biography written beside it, the whole design was very beautiful, the expression was clear, the detail was accurately conveyed.

“I just drew it for fun, | was free and had nothing to do so | wrote a backstory, completed the drawing according to the backstory, there are also supporting roles, maps, background settings, APC {allied player character).

The more the young man looked at it, the more he realized that it was the setting for a complete game, and that he might even launch a gbased on it.

“But it’s not perfect; everything was drawn last year, and I'm too busy this year to draw.” The rest of the team becconcerned when they saw the man staring at Cathy’s painting and saying nothing “How is it, Jacob? It's difficult for us to take a look at it since you're holding the computer.” Jacob finished looking at all the drawings and moved the computer to the middle of the table, “Look at it yourselves, | have no opinion.” Julia chuckled, “I knew | hadn't chosen wrongly when | saw your drawings.” “Ah, amazing work!” The short-haired girl who had just welcomed Cathy gazed at her, “You know what, you did the work of several people yourself, the entire game’s big system was written out by you, and then slightly added to sparts, you can create a little gwith the help of a few programmers.” “I just drew it for fun.” Jacob, who had just expressed his displeasure to Cathy, shouted, “Fantastic! Playing at a professional level just for fun, she is really a master.” The short-haired woman who was filled with admiration stared at the settings in the computer, “You must be enthusiastic towards drawing.” Cathy felt awkward as she listened.

She learnt comics drawing because of passion.

But she was pursuing a career path not out of passion, but out of desperation; she was unable to go out because she lacked of means of livelihood.

She was forced to draw comics at Owen Torres’ place after being released from jail, but her drawing was unpopular and her gain was unsatisfied and not enough to support her children.

She heard that concept artist can make money, so she went ahead to learn concept drawing.

She had not finished learning concept drawing but there was simprovement for her comic drawing, then she did not change jobs to do concept artist.

But since she had already learnt it, she did not want to give up, so she conceived all the settings and ideas.

She never thought that it would be used one day.

As Julia saw Cathy fitted in with the group, “Then you guys chat, I'm going back first, I'll take you out to lunch at noon.” The latter half of the sentence was for Cathy.

“By the way, for your information, Miss Johnson works as part-time; she will go back after you guys get this character out.” Jacob who just showed disgust towards Cathy frowned, “Can’t she stay?” “Miss Johnson has her own other jobs and this is not her main job.” After Julia finished talking, she waved goodbye gently and left.

Cathy felt quite happy as her ability was recognized by the team.

“This is the information, background and also the setting of every character of the game, you have to read through them, then, according to the information, draw sconcept drawings that fulfil the setting.” Jacob handed over a few folders to Cathy.

“Those you drew are not bad but since you have not been exposed to the project, you have to study more about it.” Cathy nodded, she sat at the temporary place arranged and read the information about the gfor the whole morning.

Cathy cback to her sense only when Julia cover and took her out to eat.

Right after she ordered food, the guy who named Ray and Joseph sat directly across from her.
