Chapter Three.

Asterin was now inwardly sighing at how stupid it was of her to think that the man who couldn't even apologize to her in that moment would come finding her all the way for a sorry.

She smirked at him

"and here I thought you came to apologise, well seems like you just got karma..."

She said as she went back to the bar and got ahold of her drink and started gulping it down.

Keanu didn't understand what she had meant by karma and so he made his way towards the bar standing next to her

"what do you mean by karma? I surely do not know of a fiend like you!"

He spat those words at her which only made her laugh at him.

Hardy was terrified of the scene that was currently playing in front of him.

He knew that she was drunk and there was no stopping of her madness.

As Asterin realized that two pair of eyes had been staring at her she turned to face him

"you seriously are by far the worst human I have ever encountered on the streets, like you do not remember bumping into a lady and destroying her painting ! Oh you don't ,were you seriously just sleepwalking! That painting had taken me months to make you fucking arsehole! And you just walked away as if you get bumped into normal people everyday. Now if you were sleep walking then you are rather a poor soul in my eyes so just, shoo now..."

As Asterin finished, Keanu stood there remembering the morning and the accident that had occurred in that time, now he remembered where he had seen her before and then understood what she meant with 'karma'.

If he was not getting late for an important meeting he would've considered saying sorry but he had seen her stare at him so he thought of her as a fan and that she'd probably call it her luck to bump into him.

Seems like he assumed wrong and as he had come back to reality he saw that the girl had now vanished from her seat.

He asked the bar tender and he told her that she left a minute ago.....

Even though Keanu knew that he could get over the fact that he bumped into her and forget about all of it, he just could not.

The girl had insulted him with silly sarcastic comments and lastly shooed him as if he were a dog, did she not know who he was?

Or was she just thinking to high of herself of getting away with what she had done....

Whatever it was he wasn't going to just let it go.....

The next day Asterin woke up with a bad headache and she then realized of her hangover.

She tried remembering last night but it was just making her headache terrible so she gave up on thinking about it and freshened up for the day.

She took a tablet to reduce her pain and then got ready for her work.

She had to paint her destroyed painting all over again so she decided to stay home and do it.....

Asterin started to arrange her tools for painting, while she was preparing her phone rang and she left her thongs to receive the call.

Hannah was on the phone and so Asterin picked up the call to only hear her friend's panicked voice

"sterly where are you! You need to come to the gallery as fast as you can! Please I don't know who this man is but he claims we are in deep trouble and-  I can't explain everything on the phone, please come here! I need you here.... Please!!!"

Hannah rushed her words as Asterin tried to understand her friend.

"Fine.. Fine! I'm coming... I'll be there in five minutes, just stop with the panic talk calm the fuck down!"

She said as she grabbed her keys and got to her bike.

She rode to her gallery and in a mystery of minutes she was there.

She entered her gallery to find three men standing and discussing with her friend Hannah.

She immediately recognized who the two men were but the third one was a stranger

"what are you doing here Forsyth? Let me guess, trying your luck again are we?"

Asterin said as she walked in midst of their conversation.

"Waiting for you only my dear friend! You see I'm not her to try my luck but looks like pretzel (named after Hannah Presley your friend who also is your p.a) and yourself are pushing me towards it..."

Lionel Forsyth said with a sly smile.

He was one of the men Asterin had known from the two.

The second one was his P.A Hardin McLain.

She knew them because Lionel was her batchmate in the same colleague but they were not friends, he also was trying to buy her gallery and make all her paintings come under his name which could've bought him a load full of fortune, but she never let that happen.

The reason was he being a greedy arsehole who only wanted money out of his business while she being a passionate artist who never really cared about what she earned but cared of what she portrayed....

The deal was never to happen.

But here he was for some reason and his confidence was making Asterin think hard on what could be the possibility of him showing up, was the third man a rich man who was going to buy her gallery?

She would never let the gallery go......

"What do you mean Forsyth? Come straight to the point."

Asterin said as she glared at him and his p.a .

"Seems like you've messed with a man with a no forgiveness policy...... This gentleman here is his lawyer.... Can't believe you had the audacity to create a scene with Keanu Reeves! Great for me though...."
