The afternoon rolled around quickly. Phoebe posed as Warren's assistant, joining him to welcome Nocturne.
A car pulled up to the side entrance. From a distance, Phoebe watched a man step out, wearing a light white puffer jacket and beige trousers. He exuded an artistic, melancholic aura.
As he drew closer, Phoebe took in his striking features. Her heart skipped a beat, and a faint flush crept onto her usually pale cheeks.
Warren stepped forward. "Mr. Nocturne."
Nocturne was perfectly polite. "Hello."
Phoebe followed behind Warren, her eyes locked on Nocturne, her expression growing increasingly gentle and docile.
Throughout their two-hour meeting, Phoebe served tea, took notes, and quietly observed him from the sidelines. He was consistently polite, humble, and well-mannered. His attire, his aura, and every movement suggested he was raised in a very wealthy, cultured family.
When Warren stepped out to grab some documents, Phoebe approached Nocturne. She leaned forward slightly, her eyes full of admiration. "Nocturne, my cousin is a huge fan of yours. Could I get an autograph for her?"
Nocturne nodded. "Sure. Where should I sign?"
Phoebe pulled out a notebook she had prepared in advance. "Right here, please. Thank you!"
Nocturne lowered his head slightly to sign, his long, thick eyelashes making his profile look even gentler.
Phoebe stared intently, only pulling her gaze away in a fluster when he finished the final stroke. She thanked him, looking utterly smitten.
Nocturne finally looked at the girl, finding something vaguely familiar about her features.
Warren returned and asked if Nocturne had any other requests.
Nocturne thought for a moment. "I do have one request. Since you've seen my work, you should know there's another creator involved. I want you to invite her as well."
Warren was confused. "I heard you two had a falling out and things ended badly."
