“Miss… I’d like to ask… Can you return this painting to me?” Mr. Warren really was feeling reluctant to let it go!
“You even told me to abide by the rule earlier. For someone who knows about rules so well, are you going against it now?” Xyla Quest said once again.
“That’s right. You’re someone who knows the rule so well. You shouldn’t be doing this…” Clarence Steele couldn’t resist mocking him.
Mr. Warren wanted to speak, but he couldn’t. Tears started rolling down his cheeks…
Meanwhile, the couple with their hair in buns also had a jealous look in their eyes when they looked at the painting.
“Pretty lady, could you sell this painting to me at a low price?” The male boss asked carefully.
“No…” Xyla said.
“Who do you think you are? Why should she sell it to you at a low price?” Clarence asked.
The male boss didn’t dare to say anything else…
The only thing was that his level of admiration toward Xyla had practically skyrocketed…
In the next second, he directly walked up to Xyla and kneeled in front of her with his palms pressed together. He looked at Xyla humbly with a sincere look in his eyes. “Pretty lady, can you be my teacher? I can see that you’ve really got some good judgment… Please be my teacher, will you?”
Even if the male boss wasn’t forty, he was probably close to fifty.
Xyla felt rather awkward in a situation like this.
However, this wasn’t the first time she experienced a situation like this. Hence, she didn’t feel too surprised.
Subconsciously, Xyla took a step back. After that, she bent over and helped the man up. “This won’t be necessary… To be honest, I’m not that great. I just got lucky with the gamble…” She said humbly.
Right after that, Mr. Warren also went down on his knees with a thump and palms pressed together. “Please take me as your student too… You don’t have to be humble. I think you’re far better than people like us who’ve roamed the antique world for several decades… Please accept the two of us as your students…” He looked at Xyla with a sincere expression upon his face.
Immediately after that, the male boss went down on his knees again and repeatedly nodded. “Yes, yes, yes… Yes, please. I’ll be your first student, and he can be your second student…”
