Chapter 37: The Past And The Future

Lucien Clearwater had a thin face. After he cleaned himself up, he went back to his office just to clean the mess that he and Ronan left behind. He also found his and Ronan's phones, both out of battery. After locking up, Lucien went home and charged his phone.

There were a few missed calls from Hayley and some messages from his colleagues and students. Most of them were fretting about the upcoming art exhibition. It was the first step to getting recognition for their talents. Who had not heard about the glorious stories of past graduates who managed to attract visitors' attention with their masterpieces and proceeded to thrive in the world of art wonderfully? That was all these students heard from day one!

Lucien did not have the heart to tell them that success depended on a lot of factors. Talent, unfortunately, was not enough to warrant fame and success.
