Monday Afternoon
The engine of our 2001 Volvo rumbles as we pull up to a modern, artistically designed building that fits in gorgeously with the artsy part of downtown. Immediately as we walk inside a receptionist greets us.
"Hello! You must be Alexa! And your mother..?"
"Alyssa." I quickly replied.
"Ah. Alyssa. Very nice to meet you. Right this way. Mr. Adams will be finishing up any moment now. "
"Alexa! Ms. Smith! So good to finally meet you! I'm James Adams. CEO and founder of the AAIS. Let's step into my office."
I smell ink, paper, and leather as I take a deep breath.
"Please, sit."
We take our seats as I shift nervously.
"So how did you find me?"
"Trust me Alexa, in the art industry, word travels very fast."
