Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 130

“Let’s go. We’re done here,” Hayden said as he took my hand and pulled me up from my seat.

“Ok…” I murmured softly as I followed close behind him.

Excusing out way through the row of seats, we finally managed to make it out of the theatre. There was more light outside in the hallway and I could see Hayden clearer now.

“Why did you pay so much for the painting?!” I cried out in panic.

“300 million dollars? It’s nothing. It’s supposed to be a good investment, right?” Hayden said before smiling confidently at me.

I said I liked the painting out of the other ones in the book, but I never said that it was a good investment! I sighed loudly, knowing that telling that to Hayden wouldn’t change his thinking at all.

“Want to go have a closer look at our purchase?” Hayden suggested.

“We can do that? Really?” I asked, unable to contain my excitement.

Hayden laughed at me loudly and I slapped his arm playfully in my own embarrassment. The staff took us to see the painting that Hayden had won in the auction. Apparently, he had to settle the payment as well before the painting could be delivered.

While Hayden was settling the payment, I was too busy gawking at the painting as I admired the color with my naked eye. The texture, the emotion, the feel of the painting. I was too absorbed and busy just trying to take it all in.

“I’m done. Let’s go…” Hayden called out to me after he was done.

“Yeah…” I said hesitantly.

No matter how hard I tried, it was impossible for me to tear my eye away from the painting. Dream come true moment!

“Stop staring at it so much or I’m going to get jealous. You can stare at it all you like when it gets delivered…” Hayden teased.

I felt his hands on my arms before he started physically pulling me away from the painting. Goodbye dear painting! I wanted to laugh at my helplessly obsessed state.

“When are they delivering the painting?” I couldn’t help but ask.

Hayden glanced over at me from the driver’s seat of his car before he shook his head and started laughing at my obsession over the painting. I just couldn’t help it. I was sure that obtaining the painting this way was definitely illegal. Although he paid a whole lot of money for it, an underground auction is an underground auction.

Hayden wasn’t at all worried about it and I guess none of the other bidders were concerned about it either. That didn’t make it a good thing though. It disturbed me that many artworks were probably stolen to be auctioned off like this before they disappeared into the collection of the mega wealthy. I didn’t support it, but it wasn’t like I could do anything about it.

Who would have thought that a huge black-market auction took place in the undergrounds of a well-known art museum? Regardless, I had to admit that I enjoyed myself immensely today from getting to pet small tiger cubs to seeing works of art that I never thought I would get to lay my eyes on in his life. Today turned out to be an awesome day.

“Do you want to go out for dinner, or do you want to head back?” Hayden asked.

Good question.

“Let’s head back,” I said decisively.

“You sure?” Hayden asked without looking at me.

“Yup. Let’s just head back,” I replied with certainty.
