For the first time, Sean felt like he was going to die this weekend. How an art student who has not graduated and does not have any achievements can become an intern at a large gallery such as Ellinden Gallery. Of course all the workers there will see the lowly young man.
"I'm Sean Herdian, I was given the opportunity to work as an intern at this gallery. Please cooperate."
It was a brief introduction from Sean that was not well received. The six workers in the room did not turn their heads at him in the least and only a young curator gave a friendly smile.
"Well, Sean, call me Hendri. I'm the chief curator of this place, so can you help me prepare your new office friends' coffee?" The delicate words of the tall man with round glasses were holding Sean's shoulder and leaving.
It's a bad office social life. Making coffee for interns is a classic that can be found anywhere. Sean who does not want to find trouble on his first day of work can only be forced to do Hendri's wishes.
The young man went to the pantry and made hot coffee, but when he got back in the office room, everyone in the place was nowhere. No matter where they all went, none of them told Sean.
When Sean returned to his seat, he accidentally found the paper on the agenda board. The paper contains a monthly work schedule and today the schedule shows a meeting that discusses exhibition planning.
"Wine! This is really bad!" Sean rubbed his head in frustration.
Apparently they all framed Sean so that the young man could not attend the meeting. Surely this is a big deal. Exhibition planning is something that is important to an art gallery and no curator can miss this.
Sean had no time to lament his stupidity. He immediately entered the meeting room and ….
'Brand!'
When the door opened, everyone in the room turned to look at Sean's arrival, not least Rift Ellinden who was leading the meeting.
"Sean, how could an intern like you be late for such an important meeting?" The blonde man scoffs at Sean, while the others stare at each other and try to hold back a smile. They are satisfied with the plan to remove Sean from the meeting
Not wanting to linger in the limelight, Sean apologized and immediately sat in his place.
The meeting is running again, they are discussing the plan of the exhibition going forward.
As a large gallery like the Ellinden Gallery, the theme taken for the exhibition is no joke. 'Unsense's'.
As Hendri explained his planning proposal, everyone applauded the contents of his proposal. The man in round glasses also showed the arrangement of the artists who would participate in the big event. However, there is one name of the painter who did not give an answer to the offer from Ellinden Gallery.
'Najwa Wong's'.
He was a famous painter in the country, but not for long his name simply disappeared.
The Ellinden Gallery really wants Najwa Wong's painting on display because the theme of 'Unsense' is indeed made from Najwa Wong's own painting style.
The obsessive Rift Ellinden decides to have all her subordinates get the painting. If anyone succeeds, Ellinden will give anything, whether property, position or social status.
The meeting participants were very nervous to hear that, but Ellinden just shook her head and left the meeting.
Hendri immediately came to Sean as if nothing had ever happened. He gave me a number.
"This is Najwa Wong's number. Keep in touch with him and schedule a meeting if successful. Get him, Sean!" Hendri patted Sean on the back.
"I'm absent for tomorrow. It would be better if I tried to get to her place." Sean tried other ways to get in touch with Najwa Wong.
Hendri seemed to think a little, then smiled. "That's fine, you're reliable." Hendri again gave another number to Sean. "This is my number, call when you get something."

After his job was over, Sean did not go back to the dorm. He prefers to come to his studio. For Sean, SH studio is the most convenient place for him. He didn't have to pretend to be disabled or fear a threat from Frans and his friends.
Sean took out the number Najwa Wong had given Hendri and immediately dialed the number using his mobile phone. However, there was no answer, not even his office number had any response either.
Sean gave up on doing it again, he laid his head on the table lazily.
'Broom!'
The sound of a car engine was heard approaching and stopped in front of the studio. Outside, there's a Kenzo Karrin sedan parked. Kenzo came out and greeted Sean.
"I just finished work at the gallery, when I came home and saw the lights in your studio on, I thought you were inside and it turned out to be true." After saying the intent of his arrival, he locked the sedan so that the sound of 'Beeping! Beeping!'.
Sean widened the door. "Come in, I just arrived too. Are you here to accompany me to finish the 'Harmony Spaces' painting'?"
"It doesn't matter if you're ready." Kenzo Karrin responded.
They all switched in front of the Canvas. Sean had almost finished the base paint and Kenzo Karrin was standing behind Sean by folding his hands. His gaze did not escape a single bit from Sean's painting. If Sean makes a mistake, Kenzo Karrin will rebuke him. A perfect blend for the talented Sean and the meticulous Kenzo.
"Did you know about Najwa Wong?" ask Sean suddenly.
Hearing that made Kenzo Karrin lower his eyebrows. "He was a famous painter. Are you a big fan? It's a pity that right now everyone is looking and failing to find it."
"Do you know any other information about Najwa Wong? I mean, besides the number or the address. I have a job related to him. I need a painting from him." Sean explained to Kenzo just in outline.
"I have a secret piece of information, but .. I don't know if I can give it to you or not?" Kenzo seemed to think again.
It made Sean's eyes widen and suddenly he turned to face Kenzo Karrin. "Tell me, in exchange I can do what you ask."
Kenzo smiled and likened his height to Sean's. "His husband is critical. She can't paint because she doesn't want to be away from her husband."
"Do you know where Najwa Wong's husband is being treated?" Sean asked with a serious expression.
"RS National, he's being treated in the ICCU room" the man replied.
Sean did not react, his gaze could not be separated from Kenzo so the man smiled and gave a response beyond Sean's expectations. "Take it easy it's not false information. I got it from one of my relatives who was good friends with Najwa Wong's husband's family."
"Can you find out more about Najwa Wong's husband?" Pinta Sean is back.
Kenzo Karrin did not answer and continued to look at Sean. Aware of that, Sean added. "You can ask me for a fee for that."
The bespectacled man did not seem interested in the pay he chuckled at Sean's offer. "No, no. One request is enough for the payment."
"What do you want?" Sean asked back in full.
"Get a painting of Najwa Wong. Actually I just wanted to see how you got the painting." Kenzo Karrin resumed his laughter.
All the information Sean got, just waiting for the day he had to come to the hospital and meet Najwa Wong himself.
