    “Just leave if there”


    Maja thoughtn didn’t like the orange, but he didn’t throw it away due to his good manners. After all, it


    was a gift from someone, so he kept it


    there.


    So, she put the orange back where it was and sat back in her seat.


    The subtle tension filled the silence like a lingering fragrance.


    sensation there as if the heat was still lingering


    Seeing him engrossed in his documents, Maja dared not disturb him and silently arrived at their


    destination


    Bob stepped out of the car, first thankingn, then pointed to a vi in the distance.


    “That’s where you’ll find who you’re looking for. We can take Mr. Raymond there for a look-see. I’ve


    done the bit Daly asked me to, now off you go.” Maja turned to thankn, then Mr. James, before


    heading toward the vi


    But she’d only taken a few steps when she heardn’s voice:


    “If they give you the cold shoulder, drop my name.”


    Maja was taken aback. Was Mr. Felton chummy withn?


    if that was the case, things just got a whole lot easier


    A smile spread across her face, her eyes sparkling.


    “Mr. Raymond, cheers.”


    The midday sun was zing, ring off her and makingn squint.


    He looked away, continuing his chat with the leaders nearby.


    Maja arrived at the vi and rang the bell.


    The vi was designed in a European style, even with the door half open, you could see the garden


    inside.


    The owner sure had good taste.


    Soon, a servant-like figure emerged. When he saw her, a hint of confusion shed in his eyes.


    “Can I help you?”


    “Hello, I’m here to see Mr. Felton. I heard he’s home today, just dropping by for a visit.”


    The servant hesitated for a few seconds before opening the door.


    “Mr. Felton is indeed home today but doesn’t usually entertain uninvited guests. Come in; I’ll put in a


    word for you. Let’s see if he’ll see you.” Maja was attractive and charming, so the servant was willing to


    let her in


    Once inside, Maja could tell at a nce that the garden was intricately designed, blending the usual


    European elements with unique touches. Being the only student of the famous painter Herbert, Maja


    had a bit of insight into this area


    The double doors opened, and she saw a painting in the middle, a work by Herbert


    It was a replica, as the original had be a national treasure and was in the museum, unattainable


    no matter how rich you were. So many people had approached Herbert, hoping he could recreate it


    Herbert’s reputation in the painting world made this replica highly sought after


    But the money was ultimately donated by Herbert to a certain ce. As to where exactly, Maja didn’t


    delve into it.


    Herbert had only ever recreated this one painting, and it was a surprise to find it in Mr. Felton’s home.


    Maja had an idea, she looked up and saw a man in his fifties sitting in the room.


    “Mr. Felton, I didn’t expect you to be a fan of Herbert’s work.”


    Felton was somewhat surprised. After all, many masters in the country replicated this painting, Mystical


    Landscapes. How did this young girl recognize it as Herbert’s work at first nce?


    There was no signature of Herbert on the painting. After all, Herbert was a free spirit and rarely


    bothered about such things.


    “How did you know?”


    Initially, when he heard a visitor wasing, he thought it was a young man. He didn’t expect it to be a

    young woman.


    “Herbert was my teacher. I was fortunate to study under him for a while.”


    Herbert was quite peculiar and seldom taught students. He indeed had a student before but didn’t want


    to disclose the student’s name.


    Now seeing Maja, Felton was surprised. This twenty-something young woman was Herbert’sst


    student?”


    “When my teacher was recreating this painting, he studied its style for a long time. You live here most


    of the time and seldom go out, so it’s not surprising you like it. This ce is undeveloped, and it has the


    characteristics of the style of this painting.”


    Hearing this, Felton smiled and gestured to the seat opposite him.


    *Please sit. Are you here about the cherry wood flooring issue?”


    Maja nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed, “I didn’t want to be turned away earlier, so I dropped my


    teacher’s name. I hope you don’t mind.”


    Her attitude was very straightforward, and her eyes were crystal clear.


    Felton sighed; she was around the same age as his daughter.
