Aiden woke up with a groan using his two hands to support his head like as though it seemed heavy he turned on the couch and ended up on the floor.
He cursed underneath his breath as he stood up taking in his surroundings the sitting room gave a lively and bright aura with the colourful paintings that hung on the wall and the vases of different colours and shapes that were placed at strategic points in the sitting room.
The Television sat comfortably on its specifically made table with a flower vase beside it with what seemed to be a hibiscus flower in it he sat down on the grey couch he had just slipped from with one hand on his head.
"This place gives a warm and welcoming atmosphere", he muttered to him self just then like as though a thought slipped through his mind he began to search himself for something, he released a sigh of relief when his eyes fell on his phone on the table which seemed to be made out of marble just then the sound of foots steps from the stairs drew his attention he rolled his eyes the moment he set eyes on the figure.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the renowned pervert Aiden so tell me how do you feel now", Sophia said as she stood before him in a white jumpsuit pants and white shoes and hand bag to match, he hair was packed into a doughnut with few curled strands let loose at the two sides of her head her red lipstick made her look hot with her grey alluring eyes.
" you seem to derive joy in my agony Miss Sophia and what's with me being a pervert?" Aiden asked dryly as he scanned her from head to toe, Sophia folded her hands on her chest and scoffed.
"oh really so you don't remember grabbing my boobs and describing how soft it was yesterday or the dirty words you said" Sophia tainted with an eye roll.
"How and when I'd never do something like that and what makes you think I'd find you attractive even your attitude is a turn off" he said as he stood up coming face to face with her.
" so your alcohol rigged brain didn't let you remember what you did right? Well its fine by the way please do take a shower before you leave my house and also try to brush you stink of alcohol and lastly you breakfast is in the oven probably cold by now" she said as she walked over to the front door.
" wait where are you going?" he asked walking over to her as she tried to separate a bunch of keys
" I'm off to work Aiden" She said wearing a small smile on her face
"isn't it too early for that?" he said leaning on the wall next to her
"nope not at all cause its 10 in the morning" she said.
"shit!" he cursed under his breath
" well aiden here's my spare key you can leave when your done and still stagger in when your drunk"
" Well thank you miss sophia" he said taking the key from him
" well if there's nothing else I'll be leaving now" she said and opened the door
"Bye then" he said and shot the door as she stepped out

Sophia parked in front of her gallery, a white building with a glass entrance door she got out of her car and walked into the building gracefully.
Her gallery had a lot of paintings which had differents themes hanging on the wall with flower vases arranged at a corner she was greeted by her employees whom she nodded to in response as she made her way to her office at the far end of the building.
She got into her office which was a replica of the outside room her office walls were made of transparent walls which made it easy for her to see what was going on in the other room.
" Anita to my office now" she said into the phone settling on her office chair and hung up just then a red haired brunette walk into her office with a file in hand.
" Boss you sent for me" She said
"Yh so have you compiled the list I asked you to?" Sophia asked.
" Yes ma the total money we need for the event is $5000000", she said handing the file over to her.
"okay not bad, you guys should commence work immediately we just have a month to prepare, I do the art and then you all will help in setting it up for display" she said going through the paper work.
" yes ma"
" One last thing, have there been any orders since yesterday?" she asked closing the file
" yes ma we sold about five paintings and three vase a total of $300,000".
" Not bad tell Lisa to bring me the record book later today we will be running discount sales soon maybe a week before the Art exhibition" Sophia said leaning back on her sit.
" okay ma, do you need your usual coffee?" Anita asked.
" No am good just get me a clean canvas and paints that's all" she said dismissively.
Anita bowed her head and exited the office, few minutes later three of her male employees came in with a canvas and its stand then they returned shortly with buckets of different paints and an Easels.
They placed them beside her painting table which was at the other end of the office after that they left. Sophia proceeded to putting on her apron and hand gloves sitting on her painting stool she picked a s small brush felt it before dipping it into a red oil paint and using it on the canvas.

Aiden was pacing around in his office with his phone to his ear he was putting on a dark blue suit with a tensed expression on his face just then his PA walked in.
" Boss I've found the address of her Gallery" he said barely catching his breath.
" Good I'll drive there myself" he said sternly as he picked up his car keys and stormed out of the office angrily shutting the door.
