Stacy smacked two loud kisses onto Natalie\u2019s cheeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Natalie remained frozen in place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy do you look so spaced out? Aren\u2019t you happy to see me?\u201d Stacy asked. Then, she sighed. \u201d It looks like two years apart really does make people grow distant. Even friends who grew up together can\u2019t stand the test of time.\u2018\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie blinked, taking a long while to come back to her senses. She asked, \u201cStacy, when did you graduate? When did you come back? And you and Mr. Wagner\u2026 What\u2019s your relationship with him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie and Stacy were childhood friends. Their families lived right next door to each other, and the two girls had been inseparable since they were barely able to speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Natalie married Jeffrey, Stacy had even been her bridesmaid.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the two of them had chosen completely different paths in life. Natalie got married right after graduation and became a full\u2013time housewife. On the other hand, Stacy pursued her studies, even going for her doctorate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For the past two years, Stacy had been studying abroad and rarely returned home. Natalie never expected to see her at Daniel\u2019s welcome dinner. It was a truly incredible surprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stacy laughed and said, \u201cCome on, let me introduce you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She pulled Natalie over to Daniel. \u201cNat, this is\u00a0<\/p>\n
this is my godfather.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, Stacy turned to Daniel. \u201cDaniel, this is Nat, the best friend I\u2019m always telling you about.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daniel smiled warmly. \u201cI recognized you at the airport. You\u2019re even more lively and elegant in person than in the photos.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stacy beamed. \u201cOf course! Nat was the most beautiful girl back in school. Almost every boy in school had a crush on her! Daniel, anything to do with Nat is my business. So, about her newly opened gallery\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stacy clung to his arm and put on a cute expression. \u201cYou have to help her stand out and draw a crowd.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you put it that way, how can I refuse?\u201d Daniel spread his hands out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cI actually do plan to develop my career in Caspia City this year. The climate here is pleasant, and the place is rich in culture. Many of my old friends have already settled here too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie had momentarily forgotten to blink. She remained dazed for a long time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She\u2019d been racking her brain, thinking about how to convince and persuade Daniel. She\u2019d been prepared to give it everything she had to earn his approval.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And yet, Stacy settled it in just two sentences.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still\u2026 How had she never heard Stacy mention having a godfather before? And it wasn\u2019t just anyone. It was the renowned painter, Daniel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stacy nudged Natalie with her shoulder. \u201cDid you hear that? Stop zoning out. Hurry up and thank my godfather.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRight!\u201d Natalie snapped back to attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cThank you, Mr. Wagner, and welcome to Caspia City. From now on, Dream Gallery will reserve a dedicated studio just for you. You can come anytime.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daniel nodded, then asked, \u201cStacy says you used to paint as well?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I\u2019ve been painting since I was young. That\u2019s why I wanted to open a gallery. But talking about painting in front of you seems completely out of place.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment Stacy heard that, her eyes lit up. \u201cDaniel, you\u2019ve never taken an apprentice, right? How about you check out Nat\u2019s talent for yourself and consider taking her as your apprentice?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daniel pointed at her. \u201cOnly you would push your luck like this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow is that pushing my luck? I\u2019m just thinking of you, Daniel,\u201d Stacy said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was incredibly animated. \u201cIf you settle in Caspia City, Nat and I will be around. You won\u2019t have to worry about your later years at all. Besides, you\u2019ve got all these priceless skills. Won\u2019t it be great if you could pass them on to someone who truly loves painting? You\u2019ll be killing two birds with one stone!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daniel asked, \u201cEven if I were to agree to take in an apprentice, would she even be willing?\u201d Stacy answered instantly, \u201cYes! A thousand times, yes!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
