The woman introduced herself as Amelia Sterling, a fervent art enthusiast with a keen eye for discovering burgeoning talent. "Your art is a lyrical enigma, an unfiltered narrative that resonates with unspoken truths. What you've crafted here transcends mere artistry. It's a manifestation of resilience," Amelia continued, her admiration threading through each syllable.

I lower my head a bit while locking her eyes. "No. Bastian. Forget it. My paintings are mine." "Fine. I'll see them someday." I smirk. "But this..." I hold the pad up and tear off the picture. "Consider this one sold." I pulled out my money clip. "No, Bastian. I can't take your money." She protests. "Nonsense. A good artist should be paid for her art. Is 300 good?" Her eyes went wide. "300? For a sketch?......"

I am launching some of my paintings today and it feels great, I am a little bit anxious but I now know how to contain the anxiety, it would not get the better of me, I know better now. “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the face behind the art. Yara Adeyemi.” My agent said. Susanne, she is really one of the best person I know, she supports me and I am so grateful for it. I am in a white silky gown, I have faux locs in a ponytail on my head, the whole look is giving Earth girlie- bohemian aesthetic, I walk to the podium. I give a little speech and the the main painting, the one I did not let anyone see not even my agent, that special painting was unveiled.

“This time, they asked fewer questions than in the last meeting.” Following the success of The Art Palette, I knew Erbeauty had to keep moving forward and coming up with new ideas. That’s why I was working on the DIY Art Palette—a concept where customers could create their own eyeshadow palettes by incorporating their own artwork.

Several promotional campaigns were also planned, along with recruiting new art talents for a collaboration project called The Art Palette: Modern Artist.

Tell me. Chloe carefully unrolled a large sheet of paper on the grass. It showed a big vision board full of drawings, paint colors, and little notes in her nice handwriting. This is my dream gallery, Chloe said with excitement, her cheeks a bit red. A gallery for local artists, a place where anyone can show their art, no matter their background. Michelle sat next to her, looking at the drawings closely. Chloe, this is amazing. I thought maybe... one day, Chloe said softly, when I have enough money, when I feel brave enough.

Cool and smooth—it carried an ancient serenity. Carefully, she placed it back in the box and closed the lid. “There. That’s better,” Roman beamed, lifting his teacup again, his eyes full of satisfaction and something deeper—something quietly determined. Dutton, in his tailored black suit, handed over a sleek gold card his assistant had brought. He placed it on the table and slid it across to her. “This is a Gold Artisan Card. With it, you’ll have access to any international arts association’s events—galas, exhibitions, concerts—anywhere in the world’s capitals.

I continued my steps down, still rubbing my wrist and pretending Raymond wasn’t standing there with her, his eyes fixed on me with full concentration. “Mr. Raymond and I were having a little chat, and I came to discover that he’s the owner of Mysti Arts Corporation.” I could see where this was going. “Mysti Arts Corporation? Mysti Arts… I’ve never heard of it.” “It’s a small arts corporation, Melissa,” Raymond spoke, and my jaw shut tight at him. Since the time he showed up here, now was the first time he'd call my name without a title, sparking back a forgotten, buried familiarity. I frowned. “…We’re rooted in digital artistic designs and creativity and both virtual and physical exhibitions

She handed it to me with a quiet, fierce pride. I looked at the image. It was the five of us Dante, Silas, Willa, Leo, and myself, standing on the terrace of the Nexus. But she hadn't painted us as we were. She had painted us as we felt. We weren't figures of power or shadows of greed; we were figures of light, our edges blurred into the vibrant colors of the city we had saved. There were no guns in the painting. No vaults. No encrypted terminals. Just the five of us, standing in the center of a world that we had finally made right. "It’s finished, Julian," Willa said, her eyes bright with a fierce clarity. "The 'Blood Audit' is a relic. The 'Art of Falling' is a foundation. This... this is
