happen once her show shuts down.”
“I’m sure you will work something out.” She waved at him and headed towards her car.
Alex entered his house and headed into the kitchen to grab the dish that Mrs. Bennett had prepared for him. He stopped when he saw the light on his house phone flashing. He never received landline calls and figured it was someone trying to sell him something. He pressed the button and heard Becca’s voice.
“I knew if I called your cell phone, you wouldn’t answer but I wanted you to know how sorry I am for everything. I understand why you pressed charges against me and why you fired me but I really wish you would give me a second chance. Please call me so we can work something out. I loved working for you, Alex.”
He stared at the phone. Was she serious? He now realized how delusional Becca was when it came to life. He took a bite of his chicken as his cell phone rang. “Smith,” he answered.
“Hey Alex.”
“Hey sis, how’s the job search?”
“I found you someone. His name is George and he’s a graduate of the arts program at University of Buffalo. He knows who you are and loved the idea of working and learning from you.”
“Well, that sounds perfect. Thank you so much for helping me out.”
“You know that I would do anything for you, Alex. Have you talked to Mom lately?”
“Not lately, what’s wrong?”
“She’s complaining about being lonely. She has an admirer but feels she would be cheating on Dad.”
Alex sigh ed. “He’s been gone for so long Patty, it’s ok for her to move on.”
“We know that but she’s having problems with it. Maybe you could stop over after your show closes and talk with her. She would love to see you.”
“Sure, I will stop over this weekend. I have some good news in the meantime.”
“What’s going on?”
“I found someone, well I really wasn’t looking and technically she found me.”
Patty cheered. “What’s her name?”
“Her name is Eve and it’s her show that opens tonight. She has knocked me over, Patty. Her charm, her attitude and she is absolutely stunning. She has a passion for the arts and has a side of her that I can’t describe yet.”
“Wow, I haven’t heard that tone in your voice since …” she trailed off.
Alex smirked. “I know. I haven’t felt this way since her.”
“I hope it works out. I’m planning on coming by tonight so make sure you introduce us.”
“I will . See you tonight.” Alex hung up and finished his dinner before heading upstairs to the shower.
CHAPTER TWELVE
Alex entered Eve’s hotels’ lobby around six thirty. He spotted her agent as he waited at the elevators. Steve waved at him. “I didn’t realize that your gallery gave a personal escort to the shows.”
Alex sensed a tone in his voice but ignored it since he didn’t know him very well. “I normally wouldn’t but Eve is a special woman.”
Steve nodded as the elevator doors opened and they stepped in. “How long have you been in business?”
“A few years now but it’s always been a dream of mine. I just needed to wait until the opportunity presented itself.”
He nodded. “I’ve been working with Eve for almost two years now. I saw her work in a local art show back in LA and I knew I could help her.”
“Do you have any other clients?”
“Not right now, I wanted to focus on Eve and then her career exploded within the last six months. I have galleries calling me from around the country. After we close at your shop, we will drive to Pittsburgh for a few days.”
Alex frowned as the elevator arrived at Eve’s floor and they both walked down the hallway. Steve knocked on the door as Eve answered. Alex leaned against the wall behind him as Steve hugged her and talked to her.
She looked breathtaking in her black cocktail dress with her stiletto black heels that made her legs seem even longer. Her blond hair was pulled up into a french twist on the back of her head and her makeup
