บท 151: A Glimmer in the Dark

Massimo couldn't believe what he heard. "Really? I'm so glad!"

"Yes, the painting touched me so deeply that I almost cried. In all my twenty years of painting, I've never felt this way before." Alicia was always humble, never bragging about her talent. But today, she was just sharing her true feelings, which sounded like she was complimenting herself.

Massimo could hardly contain his excitement. "Quick, let me see the painting. I need to see it."

"It's not in a frame yet."

"That's okay," Massimo said quickly, "Just bring it over. If I like it, don't worry about the frame, I'll take care of that."

"Okay, where should I meet you?"

"Come to my place. I'll send you the address."

"I'll be there in an hour."

Once she ended the call, Alicia freshened up and changed her outfit. She had a quick meal, then gently rolled up her painting, left her home, and got in her car. She arrived at Massimo's house right on time.
