Chapter 108

“Are you at the exhibition now?” Albert asked. “I wanted to call you, but I’ve been too busy these past few days that I forgot to tell you. Yeah, for some reasons, your painting has been taken down.”

Carmella’s mind buzzed, her face turned pale, and her voice trembled, “How could this happen? Wasn’t it all settled? We just checked it over yesterday, and now it’s gone?”

Albert apologized, “I know, and I couldn’t do anything about it. I wish I had told you sooner.”
