Chapter 7:

She had somewhat become the character of Daisy from her original novel.

When the author fell into her novel


It was weird, like some kind of hypnosis had been done to her. Just as she was calming her wavering heart, a third person suddenly entered their calm lifestyle and caused an uproar.

Fortune entered fully armored with delicately braided wavy dark hair, softly glowing face, a sensual smile, dressed in flowery dress with an aura emanating from her as she walked and entered the office.

Fortune had fair skin, long wavy dark hair, silver eyes, and a curvy, graceful build. She stood at 170 cm.

Both men and women gasped looking at her. She was breathtakingly gorgeous. Mirae felt roses blooming in the atmosphere as she had a foreboding feeling. She came out of her office and looked downstairs. What awaited her was what she’d felt.

“There she is. My most perfect main female lead. She literally feels like the moon incarnate. My lovely Fortune.”

It was at that moment that the feeling of likeness she had developed for Arnon faded away like it had never existed. She felt pity and guilt towards Arnon. Her desire to make Arnon happy and to take care of him had blinded her for a while. She became an outsider, the writer for a few moments upon seeing Fortune, her female main character.

Mirae was unsure of her feelings so she decided to watch how things developed after Arnon and Fortune’s meeting and then make her decision.

As if a magnet was pulling them together, Arnon and Fortune's eyes met. Their eyes lingered in each other for a while before separating. Yet again, roses bloomed around Fortune and it was like its scent reached Arnon’s nostrils and he became bewitched by it.

Mirae remembered the night before she’d parted from Arnon’s castle. She’d written what she thought would redeem her a little. “Arnon follows his heart as he falls for his destined woman, every manipulation or tricks will be futile.” Mirae thought that maybe she was forcing him to be with whom she wanted him to end up with.

As Arnon and Fortune slowly fell for each other in front of her very eyes she was bothered. Fortune used many excuses to go meet Arnon directly at his office bypassing Mirae and directly challenging her authority and belittling her either intentionally or unintentionally. Arnon started to look at Fortune from his window as he lost the passage of time and left his work hanging only for Mirae to handle them later.

Her heart stinged. Did she actually love Arnon? That couldn’t be! Wasn't she feeling pity, regret and the need to make sure he was always happy? Did the plot affect her from Fortune’s side? Or did Fortune’s blessing of immense fortune clouded her?

Mirae was confused.

Days went by as she watched the awkward and hidden glances they gave each other, the little hand touches, brushes while walking ... .As Arnon dropped her off to her home in his wind-feather artifact every night.

Mirae wasn’t indecisive, she’d never been one. It was weird how she was procrastinating so much these days. Was she losing her original self and becoming a minor character?

From the moment Fortune entered A’s Elemental Artifacts company, Mirae was being affected by her blessing just like her name indicated. Fortune had been inside the company for three months before Mirae had seen her. Fortune was just a small assistant during that time and in a subsidiary a little distance away from there. Mirae had started to have the feeling of likeness towards Arnon. When she’d seen Fortune she’d gone back to her writer’s self and had started questioning her feelings but then as she saw both of them together a feeling of uneasiness, a subtle feeling of jealousy and thoughts about how she liked Arnon had been popping up.

Mirae was becoming an antagonist, an obstacle between Arnon and Fortune’s love. She had somewhat become the character of Daisy from her original novel. Mirae, trying to earn more money and help Arnon had become the first candidate ahead of Daisy to become the director. She had taken her original position and now even her cruel fate of being treated as an antagonist, scorned by the company’s staff, Fortune’s subtle poking and disregarding the hierarchy by using Arnon’s love and power and finally being ousted from the company after being deemed useless, incapable and just a power-abusing and a woman jealous of her junior.

It would have been better if Mirae had realized this from the beginning. But it was also good to realize this so late. After all, it is better late than never.
