"You are beautiful Lily Martini, no matter what anyone says, you are unique Lily Martini, no matter what others think, you deserve to be happy Lily Martini, even if your parents are broken" Lily was done reciting her daily mantra and she gave herself a pat on the shoulder
"Today's another day, let's make sure to do great today"
Lily Martini is a 24 year old lady who's dream is to be a great artist like Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci and also to one day, find her "The One". She took interest in drawing right from her days in kindergarten and she grew up to be quite good at it. But the one art Lily could never quite draw is a lily flower, no matter how hard she tries, her hand trembles each time she holds a pen to draw the flower which her parents named her after. Truth be told, she hates her name and has made plans of changing it in the nearest future, maybe to Rachel or Phoebe, she hasn't decided yet but she's definitely going to change to a really sexy name
Lily's cab stopped in front of the Art Gallery and she alighted from the car and paid the driver, then she walk in with a bright smile
"Good morning Lily" Her colleagues greeted
"Good morning" she beamed a smiled at them as she sat on her chair
"Lily! Lily" Lily's best friend and colleague Anna ran towards her desk as she chanted her name
"What's wrong Anna? Did hell suddenly fall on Earth?" Lily queried
"Worse Lily, remember your ex-boyfriend, Michael Lorenzo?" Anna enquired
"Yes and why are you sudden reminding me of that jerk?"
"Well I won't need to remind you of him anymore as you'll be seeing him everyday from now" Anna said
"What do you mean by that now Anna?"
"Remember our director resigned yesterday?" Anna asked and Lily nodded
"Well guess who's the new Director of the Art Gallery? Your dear ex, Mr Micheal Lorenzo!"
"What?!!" Lily exclaimed as she sprang up banging her hand on her desk, then she realized that she had drew the attention of everyone in the office
"Sorry, sorry" she mouthed as she sat back
"Shocking huh?" Anna asked
"How the hell did that jerk surface from nowhere and suddenly become the director overnight?" Lily enquired
"Heard he's cousins with our director that resigned yesterday, but you should know this, you are the ex-girlfriend here" Anna pointed out
"He told me he was a freelance artist Anna, he never mentioned any relation to our director!"
"Well I hope you guys didn't part on very bad terms else things are gonna get really hectic for you" Anna said
"Depends on what you term 'really bad terms', we only dated for a few months then I caught him cheating on me, I saw him having some good time with another lady Anna, I was going to be the one to end things but he beat me to it too, before I could tell him that I broke up with him, he told me that first and do you know what he said his reasons are? He said I'm not good in bed!"
"What?!" Anna exclaimed
"And not only that, he told me he's allergic to lilies and since I bear the same name as the flower, I remind him of his stupid allergies, I was so angry Anna and I couldn't leave like that so I slapped him"
"What?!" Anna squealed
"You slapped the new director?"
"He wasn't the new director then!" Lily defended and then sighed
"But that doesn't matter does it? He's probably going to make life miserable for me"
Anna felt bad for her friend, Lily never really had any luck in dating or in men at all, each time she dated, she always ended up with the world worst jerk, sometimes she says her parent's bad fate was rubbing off on her and that's why she moved out of home, to another city far away from her parents. And that was also why Lily never had an interesting sex life and yet, throughout all the heartbreaks, she kept her head high and continued to beam her enchanting smile at everyone
"You know what? Quit sulking, why don't you come clubbing with me tonight, I'm supposed to go to this club with some of my friends tonight so you can tag along" Anna said trying to cheer up her friend
"No Anna, I'll pass" Lily said sadly as she placed her head on the table
Moments later, the new director of the Art Gallery walked in
"He's here girl" Anna tapped Lily and she quickly hid her face, avoiding an eye contact with her ex
"My name is Michael Lorenzo, the new director of this Art Gallery and I look forward to having a good time with you all" Mr Lorenzo finished his introduction
He was about walking into his office and he glanced at Lily who was struggling to hide her face from him
He smiled
He has been looking forward to this since his cousin brought up her resignation and he offered to take her place
"Miss Martini?" He called and Lily quickly stood up
"Y.....yes ......yes Sir" she stuttered and Micheal struggled to hold in his laughter
"I was briefed by my cousin that you are currently working on a new art piece?"
