Chapter 18 The Master of Clouds
Queenie was not interested in paintings and calligraphy at all, so she went back first.
On the way to Mr. Johnson house.
Alice was very excited, because Mr. Johnson said that he had just bid a genuine work of the Master of the Clouds, and he would display it tonight.
“Is the Master of the Clouds very powerful?” asked John curiously
“Of course he is!” Alice said.
“He’s a real master. His paintings can express a very wonderful artistic conception with only a few
strokes.”
“What’s more, he’s very mysterious. It is said that no one has seen his real face so far!”
When talking about the Master of Clouds, Alice wouldn’t stop crowing about his achievements.
The Master of Clouds was her idol.
However, John was a little jealous. He pouted his lips and said, “Well, I’d like to see how powerful
he is.”
Hearing what he said, Alice’s smile faded. “John, are you jealous?”
John turned his head and didn’t answer.
Alice comforted him, “Be good, John. I like his work only, not himself. Maybe he is an old man of
seventy or eighty years old.”
“That’s more like it.”
John’s face softened, but a strange feeling arose in his heart.
His feelings for his sisters were very complicated. It was certain that he liked them, but he didn’t
know what kind of love it was.
If he treated them as sisters only, why did he feel kind of sad when Alice said she liked others just
now?
But if it weren’t for the feelings between siblings, how could he deal with the relationship with his seven sisters? Was he going to marry them all?
This was too domineering. Even John would look down upon himself in this way.
After a while, they arrived at Mr. Johnson’s house.
The Butler stood at the door to greet them.
“Miss Moon, sir specially told me to wait for you here. Please follow me!”
“Okay, thank you!” Alice said.
She and John followed the butler to an antique attic, which was specially built to collect books and
paintings for Mr. Johnson.
When they entered the attic, there were already many people inside.
“Ha ha, Miss Moon, please come in.”
An old man with white beard greeted them with a bright smile.
He was Philip Johnson
Alice introduced John to him, “Mr. Johnson, this is my younger brother, John Lopez.”
“Welcome, Mr. Lopez.” Philip said.
He smiled kindly at John.
John replied politely.
“Miss Moon, I know you like the Master of the Clouds, so I didn’t display it until you’re here.”
Philip said as he led the two of them to the display hall.
Alice was flattered and said, “Thank you so much, Mr. Johnson.”
Soon, they made it to the exhibition hall.
Several people stared at Alice with displeasure as soon as she came in.
A greasy- -headed man snorted, “I’m wondering who was so arrogant. It turns out that it’s Miss Moon from the Night Rose. But this is an elegant place, you can’t sway your butt here.”
His words were heavy with sarcasm, he even emphasized’ sway your butt’.
