Chapter 84

Xander did not expect the last visitor to be Melanie. He raised an eyebrow and walked over to her. “Are you really that interested in your art exhibition?”

Melanie smiled. “What a coincidence.”

“This isn’t a coincidence. I’m in charge of this exhibition.” Xander’s tone was lukewarm. He pointed at the painting hung up behind Melanie. “This is the first day of the exhibition and you’re the first visitor, but I need to make adjustments to this painting, which is why I have to close the exhibition.”

exhibition. This is the only painting I’ll be adjusting.”
