Chapter 660 Compete in Painting

Melissa wasn’t pretending to be mysterious just now. She didn’t do it on purpose. To be exact, she was thinking, though it took her a while to formulate a composition for her drawing.

After all, she either went big or went home.

Unknowingly, an hour passed. Tucker had already finished and put away the brushes at the last second. The two of them put their paintings on display together.

The staff member said, “There is a box in the middle of the two paintings. Now you can see two pieces of paper here. Tucker’s painting is on my left side. If you like it, please take the red ball. Melissa’s painting is on my right side. If you like it, please take the blue ball.”

As soon as the staff member finished speaking, some people voted. The first two votes came to Tucker. Tucker thought that he must be the winner, and he smiled with delight. However, in the end, almost all of the votes went to Melissa.

Though Tucker lost the game, he was not convinced at all and planned to personally pick another opponent for Melissa. The best person for the competition, beyond question, was Leticia Boyd.

Leticia was the daughter of the vice president of Painting Association. No one dared to offend her due to her high social rank.

Tucker had talked to her before. Just now, when he saw Leticia, he thought that Melissa would definitely lose and lose badly, to be exact.

Tucker decided to persuade Leticia to compete with Melissa later.

“What do you think of the competition just now?” Tucker walked up to Leticia and asked politely.

“It’s quite interesting,” Leticia said.

“I know that you’re a gifted artist, and all of your drawings are masterpieces. I wonder if I can see you compete with Melissa?”

Leticia turned to look at Tucker and said, “Compete?” Tucker nodded. “Okay. After all, I have been paying attention to Melissa for a long time.”

Leticia did not know much about Tucker’s malice.

However, Leticia admired Melissa very much. After all, Melissa was a young and promising artist. She was indeed a genius with a good reputation.

She didn’t know much about people who took Melissa as a joke. No one here would take the competition seriously. They just came here for fun.

Of course, she was one of those bystanders. However, Leticia was preoccupied with the competition and thought it was a very exciting competition. Right, she thought it was a competition.

Seeing that she had agreed, Tucker immediately said to the crowd, “It’s okay that I lost. I wonder if Ms. Eugen can compete with Ms. Boyd. After all, I also want to be a bystander. That will be a different experience for me.”

Tucker himself didn’t believe what he said. After all, all he wanted to do was humiliate Melissa, but he had to keep his thoughts to himself.

He wanted to embarrass Melissa by using Leticia. With Leticia’s identity, Melissa probably didn’t dare to offend her. Tucker wanted to see Melissa’s expression now.

“Hello, Melissa. I am Leticia.” Leticia did not think much about that. Instead, she greeted Melissa with great sincerity.

Melissa asked with a fake smile, “Nice to meet you. Do you want to compete with me?”

Leticia nodded.

Melissa saw that Leticia was sincere, so she could not bear to refuse Leticia. Moreover, she admired Leticia very much. She said, “Alright, please allow me to rest for half an hour before competing with you. I’m a little tired now.”

There was no reason whatsoever to turn down this request. Melissa just needed half an hour to rest. As long as she agreed to compete, Leticia could wait.

Tucker originally wanted to say something, but Leticia glared at him. He could only shut his mouth.

Half an hour later, both of them were ready.

The crowd began to discuss the theme for the next competition. After all, most of them just wanted to kill time here. “Since the last theme is rain, why don’t you draw something related to snow? You have one and a half hours. Ms. Boyd, what do you think?”

Leticia did not answer immediately. Instead, she turned to look at Melissa. Seeing Melissa nod, she replied, “Okay.”

This time, Melissa did not hesitate. She had a brilliant idea that she loved very much, so she started on the painting at once.

There was a curtain between the two of them so that they couldn’t disturb each other. At the same time, some people were waiting nearby.

Compared to the last time, Melissa was more used to the environment now. This time, she was completely undisturbed. Certainly, Melissa was resilient.

When everyone saw that Melissa did not hesitate at all, they thought that she was somewhat arrogant. Did she think that she would win twice? Her last opponent was just a nobody.

She was competing with Leticia now. Everyone thought that Melissa had no idea who she was and waited to see Melissa make a fool of herself.

Tucker had been observing Melissa. Seeing that, he also thought Melissa was very arrogant and even thought about how to ridicule her later.

His gaze fell on Melissa’s painting. Since the match had just begun, he could not figure out what Melissa was painting because it seemed like a rough sketch now.

Time passed bit by bit. This time, it was Melissa who finished drawing first. When she was done, there were still five minutes left. Melissa had just put away the brushes when Leticia had also finished.

This time, there were more people here who came to see Leticia, and the competition was more formal than the last one. Two staff members with gloves put Melissa’s painting on the display stand.

Upon seeing the paintings, everyone started to discuss. It was hard to tell which one was better because both of the paintings were marvelous. More importantly, they did not know who to vote for.

“Same rules this time. Blue balls for Melissa and red balls for Ms. Boyd.” Even the staff member was more excited than before and stated the rules briefly.

Melissa was not as nervous as Tucker. Though it was easy for her to draw two paintings in three to four hours, she still felt tired. In addition, she did not sleep well last night. She was quite sleepy now.

When the staff member counted the votes, Melissa almost fell asleep.

“Ms. Boyd and Melissa have an equal number of votes each.”

As soon as the staff member announced the result, the crowd began to ridicule Melissa, because they thought that Melissa had just been very calm and confident. That was such a slap in her face.

Someone sneered at Melissa, “Melissa must have thought that she would be the winner. However, it’s a draw. She’s not that good.” Then everyone began to laugh at her.

Leticia did not think so. On the contrary, she thought that Melissa was pretty good as an opponent.
