Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 785: Mariana gave a small nod, not bothering to hide it. "Aren't you curious to meet the artist too, Kiley?" "Absolutely," Kiley said, her smile wide and genuine. "I don't just want to meet Matias - I want to bring him on board." Without hesitation, she spun around and gestured for one of the staff members to approach. Recognizing who she was, the staffer hurried over with a polite smile. "Ms. Cooper, what can I do for you?" "I'm very interested in this piece and its creator," Kiley said, pointing firmly at the painting titled Rebirth. Her tone was sharp and commanding.

"You must have the details of the artists in the exhibition. Get me in touch with Matias. I want a face-to-face meeting." Because the order came straight from the CEO of Radiant Jewels, one of the event's sponsors, the staffer didn't dare take it easy. He quickly gave a nod, pulled out his tablet, and started digging up the info from backstage. After a short while, he looked up with an apologetic expression and said, "Ms. Cooper, sorry to say, but Matias didn't leave a phone number. Still, he did answer our email, promising he'd be at the exhibition on time." Kiley raised a brow.

"No phone number at all?" "That's right." The staffer nodded firmly. "This kind of thing hardly ever happens." Kiley thought for a moment, then smiled to herself. "You know, the more gifted someone is, the more likely they are to have their quirks." Most artists usually left their contact details, worried they might miss a chance. But then there were geniuses like Matias, who hated sharing such details to keep distractions at bay. Still, that didn't mean tracking him down was out of the question. Kiley fixed her eyes on the staff member.

"Could you help me track down Matias?" g Ɐ ln σ ν ℓs․com hosts great fiction The staff member hesitated, glancing at Kiley with some unease. His bosses had told him to assist her with anything, but this was a tough nut to crack. With no better ideas, he admitted, "Ms. Cooper, this is going to be tricky since we don't even have a photo of Matias on file." Kiley frowned at that. She'd never dealt with an artist quite like this before. "Seriously?" Raegan lifted an eyebrow and let out a laugh. "Is it really that tough to find someone? Matias said he'd show up on time.

If he's already here, he must be around somewhere. Why not just make an announcement over the PA?" The staff member blinked in surprise but nodded without hesitation. "I'll head over to the control room and ask to broadcast a message right away." Elsewhere in the exhibition hall, Maia strolled alongside Alice. She paused now and then, taking in the artwork and sharing her thoughts. Not far behind, Chris stood silently, watching them. At first, he'd assumed Maia was just good with design. But he was caught off guard by how deeply she felt and understood the paintings.

Each frown, gentle smile, and even the way she lingered on a piece revealed a depth of focus and judgment, as if she knew every detail inside out. Chris couldn't stop himself from grinning. His wife wasn't just a genius in fashion design; she was also a true connoisseur when it came to appreciating art. She never failed to catch him off guard. Knowing how much Maia loved paintings, he found himself considering the idea of giving her his own collection of great works. . . .
