The gallery is large, white, and entirely impersonal, excluding the brightcolored art pieces lining the walls. Standing next to my new coworker,
Aadhya, I feel incredibly out of place. Not only is she tall, she’s fabulous,
too. And British, dressed in a sleek outfit that’s nothing like my own red
maxi dress. She’s gorgeous and already knows the ropes around here. I find
her incredibly intimidating.
She walks me through the client roster. The codes that open the different
offices. The protocol for event organizing.
Her overview is at a breakneck pace, and I try my best to follow along.
“Now you try,” she says, stepping to the side and gesturing at the
computer. Aadhya watches me for a few seconds as I try to replicate her
steps. “So, you really just got here a week ago?”
“Yes,” I say.
“From New York?”
“Yeah. I love the City, but needed a change of pace,” I say. It’s an
understatement. I needed an escape, and London and this gallery provided
it. I applied to this paid junior traineeship a few months ago, without telling
anyone. And when the acceptance letter arrived in my email inbox a few
weeks ago…
I’d seen a way out. A chance at a new existence. I’d jumped at it and left
everything behind.
“New York, though,” Aadhya says. Her tone is contemplative. “I can’t
imagine ever leaving that city. I was born and raised in London, and this
city is never getting rid of me.”
“This gallery was just calling my name,” I say. “So how does this
system work? With the access codes?”
She comes to stand beside me and shows me what to do with brisk
competence. For my first day, it’s thankfully pretty slow, with only a few
clients scheduled for appointments to browse the art. I know my tasks.
Shadow Aadhya all day and make sure the clients are happy, satisfied, and
have a glass of champagne in hand if they want it.
Around us hangs art worth millions of pounds. Excitement is a steady
beat inside of me, all day long. To get to work with this. To get to see it
every day.
A few men are standing on the other side of the gallery. I recognize one
immediately. Eitan White. The owner and executive head of the Sterling
Gallery. He’s a short man with thick, curly black hair, and the most
intimidating gaze I’ve ever encountered.
His voice is warm as he speaks to a tall man in a suit.
I look back to Aadhya. “A potential customer? Already?” I whisper.
She nods and flips a page of the art collection catalog. She’s looking for
one of the abstracts. “Yes, he was here bang on time as the gallery opened.
He’s an existing client. Always gets the royal treatment and personal tours
from Eitan.”
I glance over at the pair again. There’s something familiar… A deep,
unsettling feeling washes over me when the man turns, and I catch sight of
his profile.
