"Miss. Hannnn!"
The Blooming art gallery's manager, Mr. Yang came rushing to Shui's side, tears all coating his cheeks.
"Blooming won't be getting sold now!"
"Really?"
He nodded, sniffling. "Mr. Zhong Sihan came up to me himself, canceling the deal. He was in a bad mood though…"
Shui heaved a big sigh of relief. It was certain that her painting had moved Zhong Sihan, but she wasn't sure if he would actually accept defeat.
"But he is canceling the deal on only one condition though."
I knew it wouldn't be so straightforward!
"What is that condition?"
"Your painting wouldn't be hung in Blooming. He will take it with himself but he won't pay for it."
She stared at him, speechless.
"What kind of a condition is that?"
His nostrils flared. "I know right! It's the painting you worked so hard for. How could he not pay for it? Isn't he looting it?"
"No, I am fine about the money. I didn't make that painting for any commercial success anyway. It's just that…"
