Chapter 0152
Alex and Zane had a good conversation, engaging in a back–and–forth where both parties understood each other’s intentions.
Candice remained silent until Zane suddenly noticed the file booklet she was holding. He exclaimed, “Ms. Renault, have you also been paying attention to Blue Artifact before?”
In Candice’s hands was an art catalog from Blue Artifact, and the first page on the cover featured a relatively obscure series from a couple of years ago.
Zane’s interest was piqued. “The products from this series are not considered popular, nor are they cultural relics. It was just an inspiration from a small studio under us at the time. The popularity has always been low. How would Ms. Renault know about it?”
Suddenly being questioned, Candice decided to take out the booklet and place it on the table. After a brief pause, she said, “I did indeed look into Blue Artifact before. I really like this series of wood carvings with the theme of humans and nature, as they are very dynamic.”
“Unfortunately, I found out a bit late, and it’s challenging to find a complete set in the market now,” Candice spoke sincerely. “So, today, I brought this catalog to ask Mr. Clark if it’s still possible to purchase them.”
Candice’s words were well–spoken, but in reality, she had learned about this series from Hanley.
When they were discussing the exhibition arrangement in Stugan City, she had overheard Ryan mentioning this theme from Blue Artifact and found it interesting. Later, back in Dorrington, she had purchased the catalog from the official website.
She never expected that Aether would indeed collaborate with Blue Artifact one day.
She maintained a composed expression, making it difficult for others to discern the truth.
Zane’s interest clearly shifted in her direction, and he asked Candice several questions. Fortunately, Candice had indeed carefully reviewed the catalog beforehand, so she answered.
smoothly.
Zane’s smile became more genuine, and Candice lowered her gaze, sitting quietly beside them.
However, Alex’s gaze on her became slightly heavier.
Candice acted as if she had not noticed, lowering her gaze to look at the catalog in her hands.
In the end, Zane was still unclear in his attitude. Candice also understood. After all, Blue Artifact
was the one making the choice now.
When they were leaving, Zane escorted them to the door and courteously said, “Looking forward to meeting with Mr. Elysian again next time.”
Alex nodded in acknowledgment.
Zane looked at Candice again and said, “Ms. Renault, for that set of wood carvings you inquired about, because of the low production and popularity, it’s challenging to find them now. However, if you are interested, I can check again.”
Candice could not say much but expressed her gratitude with a smile as she said, “Thank you, Mr.
Clark.”
She took out her phone. “If you don’t mind, can I add you on WhatsApp? I really like the cultural and creative products from Blue Artifact. If I can get some first–hand Information, I would appreciate it. Mr. Clark.”
This statement was cleverly phrased, praising Blue Artifact while also seeking a connection, Zane naturally agreed, and they exchanged contact information.
It was not until they reached the parking lot that the smile on Candice’s face slowly faded.
She looked at the Maybach parked next to her parking spot without any expression, ready to open
the car door.
