Despite his astonishment, he silently agreed with her.
As a man, he knew it wouldnât be appropriate to respond with sarcastic remarks directed at a girl.
Finally, someone spoke those words on his behalf.
âHey there, young lady, it looks Like you havenât experienced love yet.
But let me tell you, when it comes to chasing true love, who cares about self-esteem? Weâve got to be tenacious.
Even if heâs not into me at this moment, as long as I keep going, my unwavering determination will touch his heart eventually.
â
Doreenâs disapproving tone was evident as she spoke.
Deanna, taken aback by Doreenâs words, glanced at her and then at Keegan.
âQuit daydreaming.
He wonât be interested in you.
No matter how persistent you are, itâs all in vain.
â
Doreen let out a snort, retorting, âHow do you know he wonât fall for me?â
âBecause he has good taste,â Deanna stated matter-of-factly.
Doreenâs expression grew dark.
âAre you saying I have no taste?â
Deanna waved her hand dismissively.
âNo, no.
Let me put it this wayâ¦â
Pausing for a moment, Deanna Looked down at the completed painting on the table.
Then, holding the artwork, she walked over to the wall and pointed at another painting hanging there.
âLet me ask you something.
What sets these two paintings apart?â

Doreen wasnât well-versed in art, but she wasnât about to reveal her lack of knowledge in front of them.
âIn my opinion, the painting youâre holding is way prettier than the one on the wall.
â
The wall painting had a bold color, but Deannaâs Rococo-style picture in her hand was way more exquisite.
Most people, especially girls, tended to prefer Rococo-style paintings.
Deannaâs eyes gleamed with a sly glint.
âOh, really? What makes you think this oneâs better? How did the painter feel while creating it, and what message were they trying to convey?â
She fired off a string of questions, assertive as ever.
Doreen felt a blush creep up her cheeks; she had no answers to offer.
âWhat are you trying to say?â
âm saying that the ânot-so-beautifulâ painting was done by Keegan, while the âbeautifulâ one was painted by me.
Look, you donât know art.
You and Keegan have nothing in common,â Deanna said as she put away the painting, giving Keegan a quick glance.
