May Conner and the rest of the people who wanted to watch Xyla Quest embarrass herself quickly walked over to Xyla. They all had an annoyed expression on their faces.
As everyone watched, Xyla picked up a brush and began painting a snowy plum.
“What’s that? It looks very ordinary…”
“Yeah. It does look ordinary…”
Everyone was whispering among themselves.
May didn’t say anything, but she felt the same way about it.
Slowly, Xyla put her brush down and looked at Wilmer Lacroix.
Wilmer kept his eyes on the painting of that snowy plum. There was a look of bewilderment in his eyes.
In the next second, he turned around to look at Xyla. “That looks amazing… The plum flower looks so real. The strokes you have made were fantastic! This level of prowess is something many people could never reach despite practicing for years! Even I can’t draw such perfect plum! Will you please be my teacher?” he asked.
Likewise, Sharon Lindt was stunned by how beautiful the snowy plum Xyla had drawn looked.
When Sharon heard what Wilmer said, she returned to her senses and turned to look at him in surprise.
May and everyone else were all shocked.
There were many things that they would never have expected from the beginning.
Although it looked like an ordinary painting to them, it turned out to be a fantastic work of art to Wilmer. How could that be?
Suddenly, the room went silent.
Feeling shocked by Wilmer’s positive response, she shook her head. “How could I be your teacher? You’re the most famous artist in the country. I don’t think I can live up to that,” Xyla said.
