Chapter 0062

When he did not receive an answer, Hanley lifted his brows slightly and asked, Do you know Jackson?”

Regaining composure, Candice confirmed, “Yes, he’s a friend of mine.”

She extended her hands and introduced herself, “I’m Candice Renault.”

Hanley shook her hand and sat opposite her.

He quickly got to the point, “Jackson mentioned your interest in artistic planning?”

Candice nodded affirmatively, “That’s right. I’m exploring opportunities in this field.”

Hanley’s fingers were long and slender, giving him a graceful appearance. He snapped his finger to signal the waiter and asked for a pen and paper.

Swiftly jotting down a series of numbers, he slid the note across to Candice.

“Here are some upcoming exhibitions worth visiting,” he said lightheartedly.

His handwriting mirrored his character, vigorous and sharp, yet neat and beautiful.

Candice glanced at the strings of numbers and wondered, “Is this your contact number?”

“Yes, I don’t use WhatsApp often,” Hanley replied. Then he stood up, glanced at his watch, and seemed to be in a hurry.

He began by asking, “How long will you be staying in Stugan?”

Candice replied, “I’m not sure.”

“Then contact me after you’ve seen the exhibitions,” he continued, hinting that he had other obligations.

Candice also stood up, failed to notice the edge of the table, and stumbled slightly, almost losing her balance.

His firm grip provided stability as she stumbled. The air was filled with Hanley’s distinct blend of cologne and the faint smell of paint.

Regaining her balance, Candice cast an embarrassed glance at Hanley, expressing her gratitude.
