“A pleasure, please have a seat. We have much to discuss,” he said allowing Bette to sit before himself. He handed her a menu and glanced over the wine list as Bette looked at him oddly. Catching her eye he looked down at his tie, painfully mismatching the slate in his blue suit. “A present, from my sister. She has such, well, intresting tastes. Please, let’s order before we talk that way we can’t blame ill decisions on hunger,” he smiled. After they ordered Mr. Carvington folded his hands and spoke plainly. “Ms. Porter, I won’t lie to you. I know nothing about art, restoration and until yesterday didn’t know that Monet and Manet are two different people,” he chuckled.
Bette laughed. For such an apparently young man he acted very much of a gentleman with many years under his belt. It was sly and cunning. Bette was intrigued.
“However, as I said, you have come highly recommended and reknowned for being able to take risks on such ventures that other people might find lude or revolting,” Mr. Carvington continued. Bette’s brow furrowed amusingly.
“Mr. Carvington, may I ask, who refered me to you, or is it your father?” Bette posed with refined curiosity as the wine was poured and took a sip.
“The Peabody’s actually,” Mr. Carvington revealed leaning back in the booth. Bette nearly choked on her wine. Surely he didn’t just say what she thought he had. “It was quite amusing really. Mrs. Peabody, forgive me I have always called her such, was adamant of your skills, but Helena was often reluctant when I pursued her advice on hiring you,” he explained.
“Helena and I aren’t on the best of terms,” Bette scoffed having another sip of wine.
“So I can see. Never-the-less, even she had to admit you had a flare for this type of work,” he responded.
“And what type of work would that be,” Bette inquired. Mr. Carvington smiled as if Bette should have already have known the answer to her own question and probably did.
“Why bringing masterpieces to the huddled masses. Taking the unspeakable and making a sensation. Bringing life back into a once forgotten piece of unimaginable art,” Mr. Carvington answered.
Bette blushed. “Well, watever it is you’ll have me do, Mr. Carvington, you spare no expense in flattery,” she spoke. He smiled and raised his wine glass to his lips.

fabulous story, you’re a really good author!You seem to know the characters very well! I must say I was suprised Carmen doesn’t want to be with Shane anymore ,please don’t let it be that way , they are perfect for one another ,pretty please:)
This is a really impressive story and one that i will definitely be checking for updates. I love how detailed it is and how much thought that has obviously been put into making the story what it is. I thought it was hilarious when Blaine, a Shane look-alike was introduced as Carmen’s new girlfiend.I mean even the name is similar, classic! Anyhow, I hope that Carmen changes her mind, cause she’s Shane’s girl not Blaine’s.
i like the style of writing…cool! keep posting..!!
