I had just finished getting ready for work.

"Do you remember? My solo exhibition is in three days. I want you to come. I

have a surprise for you."

Hearing that word made me feel even colder.

Xavier was a well-known painter in the country, with some international recognition.

I bought 999 roses and had them delivered to his studio.
