I walked into my closet after freshening up , i really don't know what i should wear , maybe a formal code would do it since i'ld want to make a good first impression to my buyers .
Like any other girls i took my time making an elegant look , i put on a simple make up , then cheked my art on the mirror seeing that i was satisfied I adjusted my bangs . Brushed my short red hair. Matched out , with my purse in my arm .
It had been quite some time since i had to drive myself , by the time i got to the area of event Emma was already there, i could tell from the text she sent me an hour ago, I hurried up to the auction hall and sat at the furthest seat from the stage .
she gave me a look before heading to me in a quick pace ,
"What time is it?" , she whispered still bitting her teeth ,
" i lost track__ " ,
She lightly spank my head .
"Luckily they all got sold " she said smiling .
" i was about to go meet the buyer... since you are here why don't we go together ".
" what about work Emma?". I asked knowing this was just a favour and she could do better than manage a lazy artist like me .
" you pay me good money than any of my clients " . She smirked
" i figured that much " , i said before she led the way out to meet our buyer.
I met Emma back in high school and we've been friends since , of all friends i've ever had she treats me as a normal kid not the daughter of a mistress to a tycoon , she always says she has a good eye for a star , i just don't think am that star since she has been urging me to open a gallery for as long as i can remember but i never really took painting as career only for fun ,
we approached a good looking man , he had spects and I could tell he's indeed well built from the way his suit fitted him perfectly , he looked up from his tab smiled at us .
" miss ..." begun the good looking man with his hand stretched out , to offer Emma a hand shake .
"Clark __ Emma Clark " replied Emma with a smile accepting the guys handshake.
She sure can change moods fast , she just came from scolding me and here she is making a sheepishly smile to this handsome guy, whom she probabliy met today for the first time ,
I know Emma isn't the kind of girl to play around , she goes all in and straight forward .
'Speaking of all in , am no where to be minused here' .
She has definitely had many relationships than me and that comes with alot of heartbreaks am not sure if she has ever managed to pull off a one year long relationship.
" Kir Hutton , buyers representative ...she must be the artist "... asked Kir looking at me his voice was so gentle .
Totally opposite of the male i encountered last ,
I just didn't want to admit Emma forgot about me in just a fraction of sec . Because of a handsome face .
" hi am Lia Morgan " , i replied with a smile and he stared at me for a while, like he knew me ,i thought the same too . Emma cleared her throat breaking out gaze . I drew my hand back shifted my eyes to Emma 'intense ' hopping I didn't think it out loud .
"Have.... we met somewhere?" , i got goosebumps to the way he was peering at me .
" not of which i know " i said before stealing a glance at him , then digging into my brain for where i might have seen this handsome face .
" you've probably seen her on tv or something she's __"
" Emma !..." i cut her short since she was getting way into the conversation, she lined her lips with an apologetic look .
"Mr. Hutton _" i began
" Kir is Enough " he spoke in a gentle tone again with a slight smile . I think i might have glanced at Emma blushing .
" kir , i'ld like to meet with the buyer if it won't be inconvenient__ i just have some questions "
"Question? " asked Emma in suprise .
" i just want to know what made him buy my paints __all of them "
" shouldn't you have the answer to that? " , asked Kir just as puzzled as Emma.
" i just want to understand what I really felt while painting... he bought them , so i guese he understood them better". I tried explaining
'i even don't understand what am saying right now ' i thought to my self , both stared at me for a sec
" did i just think that out loud?" ,
" yes!" Replied Emma .
" Well... he should be around , " said Kir scanning the room . " he then spotted what he was looking for and walked to a man about six plus feet tall, i could just tell from his aura that he's as goodlooking as Kir, i was guessing he is the buyer.
Kir leaned in to whisper something , then he turned, i swear i saw his eyes popped out in suprise before he quickly composed himself , it was Adam the guy i've been trying so hard to avoid just six steps away from me.
I could feel sweat fill my poles allover my body .
"Oh fuckin saints ...why me! ".
i wispered enough for Emma to hear me, but am guessing she chose to ignore, not when am this close to blowing her seedling realationship with Kir , i bet she has it all planned out .
" isn't that Adam Hugo " . Asked Emma her tone was not as suprised as my face .
" you know the buyer". I asked my gaze an Adams still locked together ,
Adam and Kir begun their way to us , i turned and fumbled my way out. I knew what was coming later on from Emma , but i know she still had my back .
I rushed into the elevator , trying to catch my breath after i pressed the button to the lobby .
' i go out for once to have a night stand , and this is what i get' .... i thought to my self .
" Lia!"
I look up to see Adam who was now making his way towards the elevator, every step he took ,made my knees weaker and weaker.
" what should i do ?".
