payment.

Yes, you are right. But he showed us the receipt of down payment.

You said that he showed you the receipt of down payment. So you were already
told by Mr. Lopez that he has received just half f the payment first that was
$10,000 and after that he received $4,000 and he informed you about the
remaining payment of $6,000. Did you not know?

Well, ummm [Confused], that was my mistake for not paying attention towards
this thing.

his payment from the client on your behalf, case will be ended here. It will
not be taken to the court. But if you do not do single thing among both, you
will be sued to the court and then you will have to pay the penalty.

No, no, sir I will refund it from the client even if I will have to sue him for
that. You know that our museum is non-profit institute. We are not able to pay
this amount by our own. But I will re-compensate amount by client.

problem is yet to be solved.

must be aware of all the damages when you knew that you do not have any
insurance.

have check upon all the technical faults.
Manager: We have checked all. It was
unchecked by mistake.

enough to repay the efforts and time of Lopez. Do give us solid reason and

him for all the paintings.

for us.
