"Mr. Hemmings?"

Luke looked up from his computer. No one at work called him by his last name, he insisted on Luke.

"Yes?"

He soon realized what the problem was. The young lady who was wasn't much younger than him was new here. When she opened the door she looked visibly frightened and Luke absolutely hated when people thought they needed to fear him.

"Hannah right?" He greeted her with his famous kind Luke smile and while he still could, he made sure the sunlight from outside touched her and hoped the warmth would make her less nervous.

The blue-haired girl nodded and smiled. With a nod, Luke invited her to come into his office.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but Miss Greenwald couldn't reach you on your phone so she wasn't sure if you were busy."

Luke unlocked his phone and noticed there were indeed two missed calls from the director of the gallery. "I see. My phone's been acting up recently. I need to get it fixed."

She visibly calmed down and smiled back, Luke counted it as a victory.

"What did she want?"

"Oh," She blushed once again. "Your afternoon meeting with Mr. Copper has been canceled as apparently, he doesn't want to have his artwork on exhibition in our gallery."

Luke started laughing and shook his head.

"Is there anything wrong, sir? Also, I'm not sure if there was a mistake in the calendar but it says the meeting should be three hours long when they are normally just an hour and a half."

"It's all correct," Luke said before Hannah would freak out some more. "The reason behind my amusement and Mr. Copper's longer appointment is due to him being my classmate. He was in all of my art classes at the university and he never really liked me. I guess because I was rich and he was actually in uni because of the scholarship my family always gave to five students from our city."

He was once asked in an interview why our gallery never had his art on display and while I know this just isn't the right place for his artwork he mentioned that maybe I don't want his artwork here."

"That sounds mean," Hannah added politely.

"I thought it was funny, I still do. I didn't think much of it but the smart lady you work for, Miss Greenwald, knew it'll be bad publicity so she booked a meeting, and just so we wouldn't have to cut it short she made it longer. Now I knew he didn't want to do it but I'd be good for his publicity, I guess he canceled to make an actual smart decision and stick to painting and not gossiping."

"The problem is," Hannah added. "That Miss Greenwald already booked the gallery for a week for him and now we have an empty space."

It only took a second for Luke to get an idea. "Just tell Emma-Miss Greenwald I'll take care of it, okay?"

Gratefully, Hannah nodded and started to leave the room.
