The next morning
Brooklyn didn't get to sleep at all. There was a lot on her mind. The first sun rays found her in the same sitted position she was in the previous night. Everything that happened the last two days kept her up all night.
Crash!
"Get back here!"
"This is all your fault, you brat!"
Thud!
Brooklyn closed her eyes, breathing shakily as she hugged her legs even closer, trying to get rid of that nightmarish memory.
Knock Knock
"Ma'am. Someone's here to see you." Nina announced.
When she didn't get any response, Nina went back downstairs to inform the guest that Brooklyn would be with her in a moment.
30 minutes later.
Brooklyn made her way downstairs. She sighed when she recognised the guest.
"Did you really have to come all this way?" She asked, sitting down on the living room couch across her guest.
"Of course. Your honeymoon's over, so I don't see why you aren't back to working?" Jade replied.
Jade is Brooklyn's personal assistant at Crystal art gallery. The gallery that Brooklyn established with her own efforts after breaking free from the family business.
"I'm the boss here. I can take a break whenever I want."
"Not on my watch you're not."
"Then I better replace you with someone else." Brooklyn smirked, seeing Jade hanging her mouth open, in shock.
"This is why you don't have any friends."
Brooklyn rolled her eyes. "Will you get to the point already?"
"Investors are pulling out left and right. The small time artists we wanted to work with for the exhibition have also decided to no longer work with us. All because of the allegations going around that our paintings are imitations of famous artworks."
"What?" Brooklyn scowled, confused.
"How are we going to fix this?"
