My jealousy and rage subsided quickly after seeing the note, but didn't disappear fully. I continued to call Christian all sorts of bad names in my head for the rest of the day, calming my jealous heart.
Before I knew it, the end of the workday had already come. I quickly got up from my chair and began packing my things. Today was the important gallery show, and I didn't want to be the reason we were late.
I glanced at my desk, noticing that the crystal jar still had a few chocolate-covered almonds inside, and quickly scooped them up into my mouth. My eyes immediately curved into crescents as the sweetness of the chocolate melted on my tongue.
No matter how many times I ate them, the taste never got old.
I grabbed my large tote bag and the covered hanger that held my dress on my way out. Excitement bubbled up inside of me at the thought of seeing something I painted being displayed for everyone to see.
I really hope people like it!
