"Would you like an exclusive contract with us we pay you one million from every piece of art you bring in and add it to the money from the auction house, we can provide you with anything you need you don't need to worry about anything and about the shares from the sales how about 50 to 50 if you are okay with it." Carter readily agreed with the terms after all these terms were more favourable to him too he thanked his luck at this point in time. Giovanni ran to his desk and called someone to draft everything and within ten minutes his secretary a young woman came in with documents in hand.
Sir I have prepared everything as requested by you here take a look and see if anything is missing," she handed him the document and handed Carter the other document which he reviewed and gave it to charline to take a look and see if everything was okay in which she gave him a nod after going through it so both Carter and Giovanni signed the papers and Carter left the auction house with a wide smile and gave Charline a big hug thankful for having someone around him to share his joy with.
They went back to there shared room and hard time to prepare before work and even time to eat. This time Carter didn't worry about how much ingredients and food in the fridge Charline used and the dinner that night was delicious as always he was really thankful for having someone around because now he didn't have to do too much work at home and he became free giving him some time to read if he never had any classes and what made it worth while was that he will be rich in no time he won't have to worry about food again and the payment for the rent would be nade early so his worries were gone and he might start his business by the third painting. Moreover he might find a bigger apartment outside the school, sometimes ge is thankful that his parents left him without a way out and never supported him in this life it made him never have illusions about them after all he had just seen them in the photos his grandmother showed him. This made him more strong and independent since his grandmother died and he is thankful for the strong woman who took care of him till her last breath.
Carter and Charline went to work but this time Charline joined in the work upon arrival he saw Aileen running towards them looking so happy and dolled up. She hugged both of them in a tight hug making Carter uncomfortable but could never push her away so he let her be. After what felt like forever for both Carter and Charline Aileen finally let them go as she chattered incessantly making the two to look awkward since they couldn't understand a thing so they walked behind her until Carter found a way to change the topic.
" You found yourself a boyfriend are you going on a date and is that why you are dolled up like this doll face," at that s blush appeared on Aileen's face like a high schooler who was in love." Well is it that obvious you see I found someone I'm interested in snd he is so handsome and you know he is wlso interested in me so I gave him a chance and we plan to go on a date so I wanted you guys to cover for me and I'll give you fifty percent of my salary so please look out for me this once." Both Carter and charline agreed without too much thought and what's more important is that they are going to get more money at the end what's more better than that. He wished her all the best hoping the guy isn't a jerk.
They both went to the locker room and changed into theee working uniform before starting the day. They went to the counter directly the population wasn't bad for a weekday anyway. It hadn't taken even thirty seconds before those girls started swamming around this was the part that made him tired the most out of all his work it's either let's take photos or can you give me your number or can we just spend a night together I will pay you more than a hundred thousand, the demands were outrageous each more outrageous than the other but what made it worse us that he had to be polite no matter what and he did that every time giving them fake smiles he felt tired seeing them everyday hopefully he gets out of the place from the price of the painting and one million in his pocket after all he never had high hopes for the painting but he knew it would reach one hundred thousand which was enough for a few months and he would be able to pay the rent before it's overdue or maybe just find a place to live in.
At the auction house.(At midnight)
All the items had already been sold be it the jewellery, the knew designer clothes and finally they were at the point of selling paintings the drawings vary so the highest so far fetched five hundred thousand, " the last painting is from a new artist called c it's called dreams from what we know he would like every place to be like the cities clean and industrialized let's see the painting and the bidding price starts two hundred thousand." Well the orice was set by Giovanni, Carter just said any price was okay and he knew that the paint would give a large pice and it was of the highest quality.
The prices skyrocket and went as far as five million but the bidders never stopped it was they found a knew thing that's rare and could never be found because no-one has ever seen one's drawing like it was a picture taken by a photographer from a camera, a picture that depicted everything and could be seen like it was and to make it more interesting the picture contained two areas contrasting each other it was a unique idea that nobody had ever thought of making the paint of high value to the rich .
The bidding some how reached fifty million and that's how a man known as Christian got the paint and the smuggness in his face as everyone gave him envious looks made him become more smug while a certain Mr Giovanni was so happy he finally found a good money source and earned himself twenty five million without lifting a finger one could see flowers blooming around him and this was the first time the his employees had seen him this happy so they greated him as they went on with their work but what surprised them the most was that the man really replied to there greetings.
They all looked at him as if he had lost his mind well his secretary was the most panicked of all and she even went as far as touching his forehead to make sure that he wasn't having an headache making him delusion all over sudden. " I'm fine Evelyn I'm happy today because I suddenly found a way to make money without lifting a finger some how I wish I had made the number of paintings to ten instead of three in the contract we can still sign a contract in the future anyways, let's go distribute those items then leave this place." He said walking towards the lodging area and went as far as holding Evelyn's hands marveling at how soft they were snd he went as far as drawing circles in order for his theory to be confirmed but the beauty beside him was a blushing mess and the act made her think more that the boss had really lost his mind at some time today, one is that his boss would never hold anyone's hand including his siblings, second the boss never smiled at anyone except his relatives and lastly the boss would never greet his workers and always finds fault with anyone whose working for him even if the person blamed was never at fault you see he had really gone crazy today.
At the bar
Carter was having it harder because one the person who knew how to get the ladies off him was not around so he had to work and chat with them as well as work and if he ignored one of them they would start fighting over nothing and Charline the girl was too busy to help him out this was the first time he thought that death would be better looking at those ladies fighting for his attention made him have a headache.
Then a thought came to him why not call the boss that playboy would surely be happy to get a girl tonight so he called him." Boss can you come and take these girls away I'm having a hard time here and Aileen is not around to help either I'm about to die ." The low voice couldn't be heard with anyone around him and the girls were waiting and watching his every action making him nervous as hell but thanks goodness the boss arrived within three minutes and started cracking some jokes at the ladies shifting their attention making him take a break. Maybe he should find a girlfriend thst thought came to him and disappeared as soon as he thought of it after all he won't have a single time for the beauty so he erased it in his mind completely.
