Aaron’s mouth dropped open when he entered the “room;” it was more like a huge open loft … no walls, huge floor to ceiling windows, shiny hardwood floors … perfect for a studio. He had no idea how Jake had acquired such a huge space in Manhattan.As if reading his mind, Alyson leaned over and whispered, “He bought the place next door and tore down the walls.”“ Perfect, ” replied Aaron, “and did he happen to find a treasure chest hidden in one of the walls as well?”“ What do you mean?”“ I mean, how the holy hell does he afford this place? He looks like he’s twelve.”“ He’s twenty-â€â€¹two, and he happens to be quite successful.”“ At twenty-â€â€¹fucking-â€â€¹two?”“ He was born with talent?” Alyson said questioningly.“ He’s a lucky wanker who blew the right people?” suggested Aaron.Alyson tried to scowl but grinned instead, “A child prodigy?”“ A deal with the devil?”“ Naturally gifted?”“ An indulgent sugar daddy?”“ How about ‘c) All of the above’?” asked a third voice from behind the partition at the far corner of the studio.
