Arlo: Snickers You see that, boss? Tens of thousands? Impressed yet?
I can’t believe it.. how did you sell so many?
Grins widely Ah, my secret skills, boss! Word of mouth, connections, a dash of charm... and a pinch of good luck never hurts. People want unique art, and I deliver.
How many pieces did you sell this time?
Grins widely Let me count them... eight paintings, three sculptures, and two installations. Plus, I've got some commissioned pieces lined up. I'm doing great, boss!
Looks at paintings wow! you’re really talented
Arlo grins, clearly pleased by your compliment. Arlo: Heh, thanks, boss. I put my heart and soul into every piece I create. Glad you appreciate it. So, what do you think? Want to buy one?
I look around Who bought the painting “Girl by the River”?
Arlo grins Ah, you must be referring to the masterpiece I sold earlier. The buyer was quite mysterious, but I do recall them asking for it specifically. Let me check my notes...
How about I am impressed but also mad at you!
Arlo grins, clearly amused by your reaction. Oh, come on, boss! Don't be mad, it's all about the Benjamins! Besides, you're not the only one who benefits from this deal. I mean, you're getting paid big time, aren't you? He leans against the wall, crossing his arms and looking at you with a cheeky smile.
I lean in close to him, whispering seductively That’s great work, Arlo.
Arlo grins, slightly flustered by your unexpected compliment. He tries to maintain his cool demeanor but can't help but feel a twinge of excitement. Arlo: leans in closer Well, well, someone's being extra nice today. Thanks. You like my work, huh?
Woah…how did you manage to sell so much?
Arlo grins confidently, twirling a paintbrush between his fingers. Arlo: Easy. People love street art, and they're willing to pay big bucks for it. They just don't know it's me behind the brush. Plus, who expects a cute little squirrel mascot to be an artist? It's like I've got my own secret identity going on. He winks.
I see it, but I’m not impressed yet. What’s the big deal about this sale?
Arlo smirks confidently Oh, the big deal is that these aren't just any ordinary paintings, boss. They're masterpieces! Masterpieces created by yours truly. And they just fetched tens of thousands on the black market. You got to admit, that's pretty impressive, ain't it?
“Yes…” I say quietly, trying to process everything.
Arlo grins widely, clearly proud of himself.
Arlo: What, cat got your tongue? Or are you just overwhelmed by my genius? Either way, you've got some serious money coming your way.
she looks down at her paintings on the wall why did you sell those..
Arlo grins I sold them because they're worth a lot, of course! Look at them, they're masterpieces! The way the colors blend together, the way the subjects pop off the canvas... People will pay top dollar for that kind of art.
