That night, After Nick dropped Julie at Magret's house he noticed the condition of their apartment but he didn't talk about it as he didn't want to make her uncomfortable.
"So how was the date" Magret asked with excitement just when Julie entered the apartment.
" It wasn't a date. it was just a simple dinner and It was also very good" Julie said as she placed her bag on the sofa before sitting down.
"Did he ask you anything about yourself?" Magret asked.
"Yes and we also talked about some random stuffs" Julie replied.
" And what happened next?"Magret asked again as her eyes lit up with excitement.
"Nothing, we came back after that" Said Julie calmly.
"Nothing?" Magret asked as the excitement in her eyes suddenly reduced.
"Yh but I felt really comfortable around him and I also got to gain some understanding about him. We also share some common likings and I think he is a good guy. Even though he rarely smiles sincerely, I think it's okay and I really want to know more about him" Julie said to Magret with a sweet smile.
" I think you should think more thought about it and give the two of you some chances to meet" Magret said assuringly.
After their conversation, Julie made her way to her room and after washing up, she laid on her bed and carefully thought about their conversation earlier. As she was deep in thought, the sound of her phone rang indicating that she got a message making her turn to look at her phone.
"Hello, it's Nick. I hope you really enjoyed our dinner and I also hope we get along with each other well in the coming days." Nick texted.
" I really loved it. I also look forward to our future dinners and hope the two of us get along really well" Julie also replied.
" I think so too, how about we go for another dinner during this weekend" Nick proposed.
"okay. I will be more happy for that" Julie texted.
" okay. it's quite late,you should take a rest. good night" Nick added.
" okay Good night" Julie texted back. Throughout the text message,Julie couldn't stop giglling to herself.
The next day at the museum. Magret received a call from Wang Ye about an upcoming Chinese Art Showcase. He then invited them to use this opportunity to showcase the art culture of America and officially reveal their partnership with them.
Magret informed Julie of the Art showcase and showed her the detailed planning sent to them from Wang Ye. After a long discussing for a long time, they finnaly decided on what they would present but Julie also proposed they needed a painting which depicted both nature, humanity and emotions to it's watchers.
The art showcase was scheduled for the following Friday and so during Julie and Nick's dinner that weekend, she told him everything about the art showcase. She also told him the message she wanted to convey but she was still lacking a suitable art work for it. Nick then suggested her to use the Melancholic Mountain painting because he believed it had all the elements she was looking for.
That night, After dinner Nick decided to drop Julie off at her apartment. While in the car, Nick asked of the reason why they lived in that small house even though she was the CEO of the art museum and her business is also quite stable and good but she told him she was going to tell him another time . After that the car became quiet again.
During the next few days, The people at the museum worked very hard with the preparation of the Chinese art showcase, It was also a way to prove themselves in the art industry. it was the first time that both Julie and Magret had travel to another country in their lives.Before their departure , Nick had already sent her a plan that really complemented the plan she had already made with her staff , thus making it perfect.
After spending a couple of hours on the plane, the plane finally landed in China. They were welcomed by Wang Ye's assistant who later took them to their hotel. During their drive from the airport to the hotel, They saw many exciting and beautiful places.They also saw different people and activities.In fact they really loved the country.
They went to China three days prior to the art showcase so that they could adjust to the time difference. As they were very tired, They went to sleep immediately after they entered their respective rooms.The rooms were closer to each other and so it wasn't that hard to go to each other. That night after they had their dinner, they went out for a walk at the hotel garden and that's when they realised the beauty of the hotel in it's
luxurious designs and lightening.
The next day, Wang Ye's assistant came to pick them up and sent them to the company. His company was very big and they didn't only deal with art but also different kinds of business. They went inside and took the elevator to the top floor where the president's office was.When they first entered, Wang Ye was on the phone. As Magret starred at his side profile, her heart started beating faster. He was tall but his muscles were a bit bulky so it gave him a mighty king like aura. He also had a good figure and was very handsome.
After he completed the call and turned to welcome Julie , he was quite surprised as he didn't expect Magret to also come there. He was really excited deep down but did his very best to remain natural. After fully welcoming them, he offered them seat and began to talk about business.They then presented their detailed plan for the art showcase and he really liked it.Though they have been partners for almost seven months now, This is their first time meeting and discussing a grand scale business.They also maintained contact, especially between Wang Ye and Magret during those seven months.
After they finalised everything, they started talking about random stuffs when Julie's phone started to ring so she went to the other side to answer it.
"I didn't even think of you coming with the CEO and you also didn't tell me even though we had a talk the day before you came to China." Wang Ye said with amusement.
" Ne zhea da naa?" Magret asked with a lovely smile while staring into the amused face of Wang Ye.
