Chapter 10 : William's Offer

*Lily*

The moment I returned to the table in the cafe, Tony shut his cell phone off. “Good news,” he said with a sly smile

“You have an apartment for me?” I asked with a laugh as I put my napkin on my lap.

“No.” He bit into his club sandwich and chewed fast. “The Times wants to run a piece on the gallery and the show’s success the other night. They’re going to highlight you and Hannah."

“Wow, that’s great. Listen, Tony, I need to discuss something with you.” I frowned, rubbing my temple. “That was William Shaw’s assistant on the phone. Willam Shaw offered me a job and a rent-free apartment. He asked me to commission a new collection for his office space. It’s weird timing with me needing a place to live, right?” I paused. “I haven’t decided, but I feel like I have to take it, don’t I? I didn’t give his assistant, Grace, an answer yet. I wanted to talk to you first.”

“Yeah, yeah, I mean wow, Lily. William Shaw? I don’t think you can say no to a guy like that,” he shrugged.
