Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

388 Not Entering the Competition

As parents, of course Budi and Merry knew Indri’s taste, especially in finding her partner. Indri liked handsome men!

As long as Budi and Merry could find a handsome man, Indri wouldn’t mind getting in touch with him.

They even believed that Indri would be happy and willingly gave herself to the man.

It’s true what they think.

Indri was happy with the man her parents chose for her. Previously, she had been anxious for fear that she would have to deal with an ugly man. She didn’t want to have sex with an ugly man. She would be very disgusted.

Indri was relieved that the man her parents had chosen was not bad. If not, how could she accept him?

Merry and Budi felt very relieved when they knew that their daughter was willing to carry out their plan. In fact, when the man came three days in a row, Indri was very cooperative with him.

While this plan was in progress, Indri seemed to have disappeared for three whole days. The Maheswara family also returned to peace as if they didn’t do anything.

The cooperation between the Jaya Family and the Soetanto Family also began to run, according to schedule. People were also getting tired of looking for news about Liam and Indri.

.....

Everything is going in a very good direction.

At first, Ella thought that there was no way the Maheswara Family would just give up. She didn’t understand why no one acted at this time, very unusual indeed.

But what’s the point of speculating?

Finally, she decided to focus her attention on her first competition. The theme of this competition is “Spring Love”.

Ella spent her time thinking about what painting to inscribe on her blank canvas. But after thinking about the idea thoroughly and painting it, Ella felt that something was missing.

Luca looked at Ella’s painting while pondering for a moment and said, “There is no feeling in it.”

“I know how to put feelings into this painting,” Ella said in frustration.

She painted a landscape in the spring. The light of the sun rose faintly in the middle of the forest, penetrating the leaves. The color combination of the painting gives a beautiful color impression, making everyone who sees it interested in paying attention to it further.

But sadly, attracting attention is not enough. Because after looking at the painting for a long time, everyone could sense that something was missing in this painting.

As the painter, Ella was dissatisfied. As a connoisseur, Luca also felt dissatisfied.

“How to give a feeling to a painting?” Ella asked Luca. Luca folded his arms across his chest and shook his head. “I can’t teach that kind of thing. It can only come from your own heart. I can see that you finished this work in a hurry. How about painting it again, without feeling rushed? You still have plenty of time.”

“The result will be the same,” Ella knew the extent of her ability.

“If that’s your belief, even if you repaint it, nothing will change. Think of it as an experience. Even if the results are not good, don’t be disappointed,” said Luca.

“I am not satisfied with this painting. I better not enter the competition this time,” Ella shook her head and said it with regret.

She wanted to do her best and produce her best paintings. But this painting wasn’t perfect so she’d better not enter the competition.

Luca felt surprised when he heard Ella’s words. He could understand what Ella was feeling because as a painter, he also felt the same way.

Being complacent is not a good trait.

He and Ella wanted perfection. They wanted to get better and better. Therefore, Luca was sure that Ella would succeed.

“If you continue to maintain that attitude, you will succeed. It’s normal for humans to be not easily satisfied.”

“Thanks for the support,” Ella said with a smile.

Getting compliments from Luca was the best thing she got after discovering her passion for painting. After all, Ella already considered Luca as her teacher.

“That might be my prediction as well,” Luca said with a laugh.

Ella laughed too. After that, she looked around and realized that the studio was different from before.

“Brother, did you renovate your studio?”

Ella looked at Luca suspiciously. Even though Ella knew that Luca had owned the studio for a long time and the business was running smoothly, Luca didn’t have that kind of money to carry out major renovations. Why did this studio suddenly change?

It made Ella feel strange.

Luca only smiled bitterly when he heard that question. “I have to thank you. It was Christian who put a lot of money and effort into renovating this place.”

“Christian?” Ella looked at Luca in surprise.

She didn’t know why Christian suddenly renovated the studio. Maybe after a few times going to this place, Christian felt uncomfortable with its small size so he decided to enlarge and remodel this studio.

“I have to thank Christian. Because of the renovations he has done, my business has become smoother and my studio is better than before.”

Luca looked happy so Ella didn’t say much.

In the afternoon, Christian who came home from work immediately picked up Ella at the studio as usual. As he entered the studio, he was satisfied.

This place was much better than before. He thought the place was inappropriate for Ella before.

He went straight into the room where Ella and Luca usually spent their time painting. Inside, Christian saw the painting Ella made and looked at it in awe. For Christian who was not an art lover and did not understand art at all, Ella’s painting was a beautiful work.

In a short time, her abilities were getting better and better, showing that she was indeed talented.

“Your painting is beautiful,” Christian said, eyeing her intently. “What gift do you want?”

Gift?

Ella looked at Christian with her mouth hanging open. She didn’t know what to answer. Why would Christian give her a gift for her painting?

It’s too much.

“No need.”

Compared to Ella who didn’t really care about the painting, Christian was actually very interested. “Is this a painting for the competition?”

“Hmm…” Ella nodded. “Initially, I wanted to use this painting. But something is missing and I am not satisfied with the result. So, I decided not to take part in the competition.”

Christian turned and looked at Luca who was beside them. Luca could only helplessly shrug his shoulders.

It was Ella’s own decision and he couldn’t do anything about it.

“What is the theme of the competition?” Christian asked with a serious look.

Ella didn’t expect Christian to ask this. She thought, Christian did not care about things like this.

“Spring Love.”

Christian looked at the painting one more time and then said, “The painting doesn’t fit into the theme.”

Ella wanted to answer Christian’s statement, but the man’s lips had covered hers.
