"You two are related so asking her directly can give you more clear understanding of what's going on, seriously you like gossiping just like those women in my neighborhood, I'm sure she will explain things to you so let's just deal with the business at hand. How much did the paint make but I'm sure it isn't much." Said a serious looking Carter making both the two in the office give him an incredulous look but said nothing . Giovanni felt like kicking the innocence out of the boy but what made him worried was his lack of confidence in his own work because of the originality of the painting it was well paid for and most people wanted it anyway. Carter became famous just from a single piece of art while others worked their asses off to gain the popularity .
" Can you have some self confidence you earned yourself a large some and became popular at the same time , I'm sure my cousin has been following you around so you can draw her too," at those words Charline bust out laughing and Carter looked at the man as if he wished that was the truth making the man give them a questioning looking.
"More like a boytoy can you imagine it, that beauty want him as a boytoy not to be drawn,"said Charline who was almost rolling towards the ground and she fell down from her chair making the two to face palm theirselves that is until Giovanni registered Charline's words that the horror on his face couldn't be explained at all why not pity carter asked himself silently.
" Well that's new never realised she would fall in love again after being betrayed by her ex," that made the two curious because from the campus rumours Scarlet has never dated someone let alone fallen in love only her not so beautiful stories remained and are discussed every now and then but this was new to Carter so he wanted to know even if it is just little.
" Well she once dated a jerk who cheated on her with one of her friends so she sent some men after her but saved the girl in time before something irreversible could have happened from then on she never fell in love and those boys from your school who broke up with there girlfriends they are those who chased after her but she was never interested in them so she did the community and the poor girls who were almost cheated on a free service by removing the scum from their lives and she ghosted them after words. She said it's better that way even if she is being judged by people negatively it doesn't matter to her but it seems like she likes you but she won't say it to you well that's good news for the family let me inform them." He felt somewhat sorry for Scarlet who is always being judged without a reason but falling in love with him well that must be a joke he thought so until he saw Giovanni talking on the phone telling his relatives the " good news" that it finally got to his thick skull that maybe she might like him but he knew he never liked anybody but he already rejected her right there won't be a problem with the family or even Scarlet being around him.
"Eer well she got rejected remember," tthat low voice made everyone stop talking and laughed ss if they had heard the funniest thing in there lives making him embarrassed he would have really gone if he had the money with him so he sat there quietly not daring to talk. Everything was going on well until some from the group had to ask who he was making him freeze not knowing how to answer such a question should he just drop the bomb oj hi I'm the jerk whose about to break your daughter's heart a second time.
He gave them thst clueless harmless look then glaring at Giovanni seated leisurely waiting for some drama but he wouldn't let such a thing happen. " He is the new artist the talk of town the painter everyone wants on there side." Carter nodded at the words but his clueless expression made him look like a rabbit Infront of lions an the tables turned when they started offering him large sums of money wanting to poach him but they weren't poaching him since he never worked for any company and was okay that way furthermore he was a medical student so his patients would be his priority when he starts working as for art he did it just to earn some money and give both him and Charline a better life.
" Well you see I'm really not sn art student I just fid it for money because I heard from most of the students that it earns well so I drew what came to my mind and gave it to Giovanni so I'm not interested in joining any company I just plsn to be a doctor that's all I'm sorry.," he gave them an awkward smile upon seeing there disapointed faces but Scarlet's father seemed thrilled upon hearing that he wanted to be a doctor that's when he remembered that this family owned lots of businesses including a hospital which was owned by Scarlet's parents apart from the research institute mainly managed by his wife at the moment. He really was envious of them but it never mattered he will make his pwn money anyway.
" You want to be a doctor you can just work at the hospital I'm working at currently and if you want to intern there just call me Giovanni will give you my number or I can just ask him directly thst won't be a problem right ooh ooh before I forget come to the party if you are free after all my daughter is finally moving on from the jerk so it's worth celebrating I wish I could know who she fell in love with and invite him over but it's okay just come if you are free alright it will be on Friday night at an hotel not decided yet we'll tell you so come." Said a smiling Sebastian making Carter wonder how weird the family is but he couldn't voice it out do he just nodded his head after all they were more like nosy people who likes to gossip and celebrate the little things in the family. They were really a happy family and there togetherness is something to be admired especially in this world of today.
" Seb you are scaring the poor child don't worry he is always like this , isn't he cute guys he can make a perfect husband for our dearest Let right at a point I wish he was the one our daughter was in love with , he is cute and hardworking and he can take care of both the hospital and the research institute since the family members are not concerned about those two snd are mainly into business." It got worse for Carter at that moment and he was left thinking if they wanted a husband or someone to run a business for them really weird family at this point he thanked the heavens his family never wanted him or it would bbe troublesome for him.
" Well you see our Scarlet is a pretty talented and outstanding student she really is our pride we can marry her off to you if you are okay with it just don't break her heart, I forgot to say how kind she is she even built an orphanage with her own savings y..."
"Ma ,pa what are you guys doing I'm hungry as hell come and eat with me, "came Scarlet's voice as the door creaked open and there eyes met at that moment.
"Hi Carter how did you know my parents, don't tell me they are trying to auction me again? That would be...." Carter had to stop it at all before the chatter box blew his cover but his brain would not function at the time so he said the first thing that came to his mind even if it sounded silly atleast it helped.
" Noo they were just asking if I knew you and about the work given at shool we'll discuss it later so buy," ge cut the call without giving anyone the time to process his words as he breathed a sigh of relief and almost laughed at himself what work he also wondered to himself after all the economics students and the medical students have never attended the same class.
