Chapter 660


    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 formte aposition 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 thest


    second. The two of them put their paintings on disy 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 nned to personally pick another


    opponent for Melissa. The best person for thepetition, 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 topete with Melissater.


    “What do you think of thepetition 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


    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


    Of course, she was one of those bystanders. However, Leticia was preupied with thepetition


    and thought it was a very excitingpetition. Right, she thought it was apetition.


    Seeing that she had agreed, Tucker immediately said to the crowd, “It’s okay that I lost. I wonder if Ms.


    Eugen canpete 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 topete 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 beforepeting 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 topete, Leticia could wait.


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


    Half an hourter, both of them were ready.


    The crowd began to discuss the theme for the nextpetition. After all, most of them just wanted to


    kill time here. “Since thest theme is rain, why don’t you draw something rted 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 thest time, Melissa was more used to the environment now. This time, she was


    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? Herst opponent was just a nobody.


    She waspeting 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 herter.


    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 thepetition was more formal


    than thest one. Two staff members with gloves put Melissa’s painting on the disy 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 wellst 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 p 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 tough at her.


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