Artists in Italy

Artists in Italy serves my favorite trope of enemies to lovers. Aria and Angelo are two extraordinary artists. although they find interest in the same field of art, they approach it differently. the former relates herself with modernist art and the latter with the classic renaissance art. Both of them struggle with the conservative mind set of their families regarding their field. They value their art too much and when they both see the right opportunity they seize it, even if it meant to work together. What will happen when they are given 40 days to complete a piece of work? Will they be able to do it together? How will they be able to blend? And how will they fall in love in the process of hating each other.

She was here. Right here. She didn't hear me come through the door, too engrossed in the book she was reading. I could hear her humming along to a song, similar to the way we first met. I walked right up to the desk, a gentle smile on my face. She still hadn't realised that I was there so I cleared my throat. "Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry, how can I help-" she looked up and she froze. Once it had sunk in, she smiled the biggest smile I have ever seen. "Leo!" She leaned over the desk and tried to give me a hug but because I was so tall, she only ended up hugging my torso.
