Marcus didn’t care to bring up other women. “Let’s stay on topic We were discussing the painting”
Nimon patted Marcus lightly on the shoulder. “You wem quite the ladies man hack in France, not a

Nimon chuckled. “You know (only sell my paintings to people who appreciate them. You’ve never been

Marcus cut him off. “Unless I’m willing to pay double?”
Nimon nodded. “You sure know me well”
“You really want me to pay double for your painting? Marcus adjusted his glasses, smirking, “I could
make your painting worth its weight in gold once, I can also make it worthless again”
Before meeting Marcus Nimon was a struggling artist in Paris, barely scraping by selling the odd
painting here and there
Marcus made his artwork go viral overnight, turning him into a renowned artist and solving his financial
issues in one fell swoop
But all this was due to a bet between Marcus and Steven
Nimon knew better than anyone else that everything he had was courtesy of Marcus With one word.
Marcus could take it all away
Nimon turned pale with fright, “I was just pulling your leg no need to get senous I don’t want your
money I’ll have the painting delivered to your place later”
“When the painting arrives, ill pay as agreed” Even though Nimon owed his success to Marcus, his art
wouldn’t have gone far without real value Marcus didn’t like his paintings, but he didn’t deny Nimon’s
talent either!
Comella listened to their conversation feeling like she was listening to two birds chirping away. She
didn’t understand a word and could only stand quietly by Marcus’s side Until Steven called Comella
picked up Marcus’s phone and moved to the side. “President Dixon, President Hartley’s tied up at the
moment. You can tell me if there’s anything”
Steven said. “Nothing urgent, just Julian Ruft came looking for me with his useless son, wanting to
meet Marcus Do you know when the Ruff family pissed off Marcus?”
Comelia knew exactly how Julian had offended Marcus Just yesterday, she had been instructed to call

Corporation
Whether she could disclose this or not, that was for Steven to ask Marcus Cornelia glanced back at
Marcus and said. “Il pass the phone to him, you can talk to him directly”
Cornelia handed the phone to Marcus, “President Hartley, President Dixon is calling”
Marcus took the phone “What happened?”
Steven said. “Julian Ruff came with his son, hoping that I could arrange a meeting with you. Would you
see them? Normally, Steven would have declined without even asking Marcus. The purpose of his call
was to find out how Julian had managed to piss off Marcus
He expected Marcus to decline, then he could casually ask what happened. But to his surprise, Marcus
agreed.
Steven was taken aback. “You really want to see them? You never bothered with these people before”
Marcus replied, “How else is he going to know who he’s offended?”
