Around ten in the morning.
Victoria and Carl followed Director Krav to the National Museum.
Director Krav pointed to the crowded area ahead and explained, "That's the visitor entrance of the National Museum. There are many visitors coming to visit every day; we'll enter through this special passage and reach the place where ancient paintings are restored in about ten minutes."
Carl was flattered. Of course, he knew about this special passage. Ordinary people were not allowed to enter and exit at will. In other words, the only people who could walk through this special passage were those with high military ranks and special staff.
Now, Director Krav led them through the special passage, completely out of respect for Victoria.
He was basking in the limelight of Victoria by walking through the special passage.
Carl's eyes were shining as she stared at Victoria without blinking. Oh, from now on, he'll hold onto Victoria's thigh!
When it was time to reach the ancient painting restoration department, Director Krav suddenly received a call and became anxious, as if something had happened.
Director Krav hung up the phone and hurriedly said to Victoria, "Miss Montgomery, something happened to the museum, and I need to deal with it immediately. I'm really sorry! That building in front is the studio of the ancient painting restoration team! You and Mr. Carter can go in and rest first, I'll be right back!"
Upon hearing that there was trouble at the museum, Victoria knew there was no time to delay and immediately nodded, "It's okay, you go ahead and take care of things."
Director Krav gave a few more instructions, then left in a hurry to deal with urgent matters.
Victoria and Carl walked to the studio of the ancient painting restoration team. It was a spacious and bright room with more than a dozen restorers, so it didn't look crowded at all.
Victoria looked around and unexpectedly saw Peter in the crowd.
Before Victoria could see Peter, he saw Victoria at the door and couldn't help but wonder, How did she end up here? And with Carl following behind?
Victoria was a master of traditional painting, Yasmin Quillan, but she didn't know how to restore cultural relics, so what was she doing here?
"Victoria!" Just then, Florian Wright, who was in the crowd, saw Victoria and immediately greeted them with a face full of surprise, "Victoria!"
Victoria was also surprised, "Grandpa Wright."
She did not expect to see him here.
Some time ago, Mr. Wright held an exhibition of Yasmin Quillan's paintings and invited Victoria to attend. At that time, everyone knew that Victoria was a master of traditional painting, and Mr. Wright personally said at the exhibition that he and Victoria's grandfather had been friends for many years.
So now, seeing Victoria and Mr. Wright so familiar with each other, the people around them were not surprised, but curious, how did Victoria end up here?
Florian, dressed in a dark suit, walked over in high spirits. He smiled and asked, "Victoria, why are you here?"
Victoria answered truthfully, "Director Krav brought me here."
Upon hearing Director Krav's name, Peter's eyes instantly widened. Did Director Krav personally bring Victoria here?
Could it be...
Florian smoothed out his white beard and laughed heartily, "Old Sheldon has good taste, bringing you over! He also invited me, it's really desperate measures for desperate times. I'm just a stinky painter, I don't know how to restore cultural relics, what's the use of calling me here!"
Hearing the description of "stinky painting", everyone around laughed out loud.
A restorer wearing glasses said, "Mr. Wright, you are too modest! You are not a bad painter, you have such a deep understanding of ancient paintings, and you have held so many art exhibitions. This time, you were invited to restore ancient paintings, maybe you can come up with some good suggestions!"
Mr. Wright chatted with them a few times, then pulled Victoria to the side and whispered, "Victoria, I heard about you and Peter, don't worry, with Grandfather here, he won't bully you!"
Victoria's heart warmed, and she smiled softly, "Thank you, Grandpa Wright."
