Chapter 707 The Last Painting Depicted Stefan
When Rhys received the paintings from Martha, he couldn't help but admire them for a long time.Martha's style was delicate, and her depiction of scenery was so detailed that she even includedants on tree leaves.
Most of the paintings she had painted were landscapes. As he admired them one by one, his gazelingered on the last painting for a long time.
The last painting depicted Stefan. He stood with his back to the light, gazing ahead with deep eyeswhile the sea behind him shimmered in sunlight.
Stefan's tall and imposing figure exuded an air of coldness as usual, but there was also a hint oftenderness in his sharp eyes if you looked closely enough. It seemed like he was looking atsomeone he loved deeply.
Rhys paused for a moment when he held the painting in his hand. There was some kind ofheaviness in his chest. His lips pursed tightly as a strange look flashed across his eyes.
Just then, there came a knock at the door accompanied by his assistant's gentle voice, "Mr.Williams, we've received news from our partners."
"Come in," Rhys replied coolly. His assistant pushed open the door and walked into his office,holding a stack of documents.
"Mr. Williams," said Rhys' assistant solemnly after placing all documents onto Rhys' desk. "Ourpartners have sent us their latest proposal which requires some modifications."
"I see," Rhys responded indifferently before lowering his head again to look at Martha's artwork ontop of his desk once more.
Rhys' assistant turned around to leave but suddenly caught sight of Martha's artwork lying on top ofRhys' desk and felt shocked upon recognition. "Mr. Williams, is this Sunnay's work?"
Rhys raised an eyebrow coldly before replying, "Yes."
Rhys' assistant became even more excited upon hearing this news but restrained himself fromacting impulsively since Mr. Williams sat right before him now.
He used all means necessary to control himself from losing composure completely.
However, despite these efforts made by Rhys' assistant, excitement still shone through his eyes.
When Rhys held an art exhibition for Sunnay, he was unable to attend due to business travel andmissed the opportunity to see Sunnay's artwork.
Later, when he returned home, he learned that Sunnay had opened a studio with Rhys. He wasexcited at the prospect of being close to his goddess and possibly having the chance tocommunicate with her in the future.
However, after nearly a year since the establishment of their studio, he had not seen or heard fromSunnay. He began to believe that she had retired from painting altogether.
But today, he was fortunate enough to witness Sunnay's artwork firsthand.
Rhys sat behind his desk with slender fingers casually resting on the armrests while staring intentlyat his assistant standing nearby.
His assistant had been working for him for five years and he rarely saw his assistant lose controllike that before.
Rhys was certain that his assistant must be one of Martha's fans.
As soon as Rhys' assistant regained composure after being caught off guard by Rhys' gaze, heimmediately spoke up, "Mr. Williams, can you entrust me with anything related to Sunnay? I am herfan, so you can rest assured that I will do my best."
Rhys lifted an eyebrow slightly but remained silent while listening attentively as if weighingsomething important in mind before finally responding, "Hmm."
Upon hearing this response from Rhys, the assistant felt overjoyed and believed everything wouldturn out well.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Williams," said the ecstatic assistant, planning to leave the office and bragabout how he could get closer to Sunnay!
Just after he took two steps, a news report flashed through his mind briefly but he didn't give it afurther thought...
After watching his assistant leave the office, Rhys lowered his gaze once again onto that painting...
The person in the painting is Stefan, and it's clear that Martha has drawn him with great detail, evendown to the slightly messy hair on his forehead.
Rhys pursed his lips and his eyes were dark with unfathomable emotions.
The next second, the office door was opened again and the assistant rushed in.
Rhys looked up, his cold gaze falling on the assistant. His voice was still serious when he spoke,"What's wrong?"
"Mr. Williams, I have an idea," said the assistant nervously as he walked up to Rhys' desk.
"I was reading news today about a national painting competition that's accepting submissions ofpaintings. Should we consider entering?"
The assistant didn't finish speaking, but Rhys already understood what he meant.
Rhys pressed his lips together and looked at his nervous but excited assistant standing nearby withdeep-set eyes.
Just as Rhys weighed whether or not it was worth participating in this competition, it seemed likethe assistant sensed Rhys' hesitation and took another step forward despite feeling scared inside.novelbin
"Mr. Williams, think about it, with Sunnay's skills, winning an award is just a matter of whether or notwe enter."
"And besides," continued the assistant eagerly, "our studio has just been established. If Sunnaywins this award, it will be like giving our studio free advertising which everyone recognizes."
Rhys furrowed his brows slightly but then opened his lips to speak in a cold voice. "You handle thismatter."
"Okay!" The assistant happily agreed before leaving excitedly.
Soon, silence reigned over the office again. Rhys thoughtfully looked at the painting on his desk.
Ripples glittering behind Stefan in the painting seemed to sting Rhys' eyes.
