Chequek..
Katty entered Calista's office. Calista is busy working with the collision of files and a MacBook that lights up in front of him.
"Have you got the information I asked for?"
"Already miss. I sent all the information to your email.
"The man's name, Samuel Geraldo, was a painter based in Madrid" Katty explained.
Calista who was sitting in her work chair was staring at her assistant. "Painter? Living in Madrid?", said Calista confirmed the words of his assistant.
"Yes, miss".
So how do you find that guy here? You must give him a check before he returns to Madrid", orders Calista", while staring at Katty.
"I've found the hotel where Mr. Samuel is staying, miss. I also got his contact. Do I have to see him now?"
"Yes. Wait, I don't want to owe that guy. It's over soon!", Calista ordered.
"Fine miss. Then excuse me" Katty said respectfully.
"Hem.."
After Katty exits her room, Calista opens her iPad and types Samuel Geraldo's name in a search. Quite a lot of online news that contains about the annoying man. Especially about his achievements in the world in the arena of painting. Not a single piece of news told of Samuel's personal data. There was everything about his work as a painter and the gallery he had.
Even the man has held several painting exhibitions in several famous galleries in developed countries. The price of one painting is fantastic.
Calista saw one by one Samuel's paintings. "good too. Hm.. turns out he's a cold-faced, shitty artist".

Katty sipped her drink. He was at a fast food restaurant agreed to meet Samuel.
Thirty minutes had passed and the man who was waiting had not yet revealed himself. Katty knew Samuel's face from the internet.
"Uh, why hasn't the painter come yet. If I didn't manage to meet her today, Miss Calista would be furious", Katty's mind would circulate her gaze to the entrance just in case the person she wanted to meet had already come.
Five minutes, ten minutes.Even an hour has passed, Samuel has not been seen in the restaurant that has been agreed.
"Oh my God? the painter?", inwardly Katty stared unblinkingly at Samuel who had just entered the restaurant and conversed for a moment with a waiter who immediately drove him to Katty's desk.
"Ehem. Deheman Katty's voice. "Suamuel sir, introduce me to Katty, Miss Calista's assistant", Katty said kindly introducing herself as she invited Samuel to sit down and offered a drink that Samuel refused immediately.
The man stared intently at Katty who was sitting in front of him. "Calistas? Who, I don't know" said Samuel. "I can't take long, miss. My business is a lot, so don't be convoluted, just get to the heart of the matter. What is your purpose for meeting me and who is Calista, your lady?"
Looks like Katty breathed her. "Miss Calista my boss, who was with you last night at the hotel" Katty replied quickly and gave an explanation.
Samuel turned his back and folded his hands in front of his chest. "What else does that woman want?"
"Miss Calista wants to give this to you", Katty replied as she thrust a check in Samuel's presence.
Samuel narrowed his eyes. And see the nominal listed in the check. There was a snide smile on the corner of his lips. "I don't need it. Tell that boss of yours, stop bothering me. The first meeting had made it difficult for me especially the next one", ketus Samuel stood up to leave.
"But sir...
"They're for you! Whatever you want!"
"Can't be so master" Katty said, chasing Samuel.
"Tell that stinky miss, don't see me again. I don't want to be unlucky when I'm with him" Samuel said as he got into his luxury car.
Katty looked at Samuel with her mouth open. The girl could not speak anymore. Even he rubs his eyes staring at the latest sports car that has just drove.
"It seems like he's no ordinary painter. His appearance, the items he wore showed the man was not an indiscriminate person", Katty murmured.
"I'd better tell Miss Calista. Miss Calista doesn't like it when important information isn't passed on to her".
Katty got in her car. "Hm...what is the information about master Samuel important to Miss Calista..?"
