I nod instantly, his artwork is praise-worthy. I read his resume as he caught my attention with his unique personality. 

..............................

The men step-out carrying his artwork after I rejected his offers.
Who's in the right mind would buy a painting for two hundred thousand?!

I sigh in frustration, that painting will definitely be the spotlight of this museum if not only for that unconditional price.

"Sir, May I enter?" One of my assistant pardon his entrance.

"Go ahead." I replied.

He stand straight at the middle.

"Someone request for your audience in a meeting sir, he convey that it will suite our concept." My assistant said without hesitation.

"Fetch their presentation. I have somewhere to go into." I directly replied.

"S-sir I might not be compatible enough-" my assistant is already trembling with this much work, I didn't expect this reaction.

"May I know who proposed the project?" I questioned him while looking on his eyes.

He immediately break the eye contact and replied "it's sir Clide Nevastre."

"The f*CK?! Haven't I said that he isn't welcome in this museum!" I shout as I heard the worst name I've ever known.

"B-bu-but sir, he said that you give him permission-" he tremble as he replied.

"Just skip it, he has no right to present anything in my domain." I persistently said.

"-i will be going now sir. Have a good day-" my assistant announced his leave.

I span my swivel chair slowly.

I didn't expect him to be also this persistent. He who give me the most work when he re-sign, and appear when my business is stable.

I did expect this kind of scenario, but not to the extent that he'll already make his move.

"I'm so f*ckin' tired!" I shout and stretches every inch of my body.

"That's why you should accept my proposal."

I immediately faced where the voice came from, my assistant's will never intrude my office without any proper introduction.
