Luca nned to do some light makeup and tie her hair casually, but Nina expressed her disapproval.


    She insisted on helping Luca get ready.


    Over the years, to maintain her appearance despite her deteriorating mental state, she had acquired a


    certain level of skill in makeup.


    After half an hour or so, Nina gave Luca a simple yet ssic look. Luca looked gentle and virtuous. The


    makeup look was subtle and paired well with the gown.


    "Nina, you''re amazing at this." Luca praised Nina as she looked at herself in the mirror.


    Nina proudly said, "That''s right! This makeup look makes your charming facial features softer and more


    elegant. It matches your gown well."


    Luca nodded in agreement.


    Nina took out Luca''s gown and urged her. "Come on, go and change."


    Luca took the gown and was pushed out of the bedroom by Nina. Her eyes met Luke''s while he was


    sitting on the sofa. She retracted her gaze and walked into the bathroom.


    Nina stood there and waited for her to change.


    Luke asked, "Did you do her makeup?"


    "Yeah, what do you think?" Nina was confident in her skills and asked him for his thoughts.


    "Not bad," Lukemented.


    Nina raised her brows. That was his style—a simple evaluation without any added feedback.


    She knew that it would be difficult to get him to provide further feedback, so she did not push for it.


    Luca changed into a gown in the bathroom and stared at herself in the mirror. She was in a daze.


    The gown has been altered ording to her size. The store manager was responsible and took the


    task very seriously. Every inch of the alteration was done perfectly. She could not find any faults to pick


    on.


    The gown perfectlyplemented her beautiful figure.


    Luca was confident in her figure. She was not too shy to wear a gown like this. She would definitely be


    able to attract the attention of others.


    However, Luke was sitting outside...


    She felt a little nervous when she thought of walking out in this gown. Even though he had seen all of


    her long ago and they had been intimate, she was still shy.


    Nina, who was waiting in the living room, saw that Luca still had yet to leave the bathroom after some


    time. Hence, she knocked on the door and said, "Luca, what''s the matter? Did you eat too much today


    and can''t zip yourself up?"


    Luke raised his eyebrows. ‘Ate too much?''


    "No, I can put it on." Luca''s voice came from the bathroom.


    "Great that you fit into it. Come out when you''re done. If you need help, let me know and I''lle in."


    Nina thought that the gown might be difficult to put on, which was why Luca was dawdling.


    "Okay." Luca reluctantly opened the bathroom door.


    Nina''s eyes lit up. She took Luca''s hand and twirled her around. "Beautiful! You look great in this gown,


    just like a model."


    The gown was from the autumn collection. Luca subconsciously grabbed thece on the sleeve and


    looked at Luke.


    ‘Does he think I look good too?''


    It was not the first time that Luca had attended such a formal asion with Luke. However, she was


    still nervous.


    "Not bad." Luke met her gaze andmented. He looked cold on the surface but he was hot and


    turbulent on the inside. All he wanted was to hold Luca in his arms and cherish her.


    "It seems that I have good taste." Nina looked at Luca with a satisfied expression. The gown looked


    gorgeous on her. Nina took her hand and brought her to the bedroom. She said, "Give me another 20


    minutes, I''ll get Luca''s hair done."


    Luca looked away and was taken to the bedroom by Nina. She sat on the chair.


    She looked at herself in the mirror and said helplessly, "Nina, I''m happy with how my hair looks now."


    "You still have to wear jewelry, no? It won''t look good if your hair is disheveled. We''ll do a simple


    hairstyle. I''m sure Old Master Crawford will be overjoyed when he sees you." Nina picked up theb


    and was prepared to style her hair.


    Luca had no choice and went with Nina''s wishes to get a hairdo.


    Nina looked at the woman in the mirror and snapped her fingers, looking utterly satisfied. "You look so


    beautiful. You''ll be the shining star for tonight."


    "Old Master Crawford is the main character tonight." Luca reminded her as she took out the pearl


    jewelry from the jewelry box.


    Nina took the jewelry and helped her put the pieces on one by one. "That''s true. A lot of socialites will


    be present at his birthday banquet tonight. Can you do me a favor?"


    "What''s up?" Luca asked.


    "Keep a close eye on Luke," Nina whispered in her ear.


    Luca was stunned. She did not understand why Nina made such a request, so she asked, "Why?"


    "Many now think that Bea has been sent abroad and is not favored, so they''re eyeing him. That''s why


    I''m asking you to help keep watch." Nina joked, deliberately teasing Luca.


    "Mr. Crawford is not someone I can keep watch on even if I want to," Luca exined helplessly. She


    noticed the look of yfulness that shed through Nina''s eyes.


    Nina helped her put on the bracelet and said with satisfaction, "We''re done. I didn''t expect that I''m so


    skilled. With an excellent model like you, I''ll be sure to make a lot of money if I started epting


    clients.”


    Luca looked at herself in the mirror. The makeup made her charming face look gentle and pure. It


    would not be an exaggeration to say that she looked a few years younger.


    "I look... beautiful." She muttered to herself. For a moment, she saw a shadow of her past.


    "Thank you for thepliment." Nina cheekily epted herpliment. As she looked at the person


    in the mirror, she was reminded of Bianca. After she covered up Luca''s alluring charm, it vaguely


    revealed a sense of her purity.


    ''How amazing..''


    Luke walked to the door of the bedroom but did not go in out of respect for their privacy. He stood with


    his back to them and asked, "Are you ready?"


    "Yes," Nina replied. She picked up the lipstick and touched up Luca''s lips a little. She then put the


    lipstick and powder in a matching bag so that Luca could easily touch up her makeup when she was


    out.


    Luca took the bag and said, "Thank you."


    "It''s gettingte. You should make a move. By the way, I won''t be waiting for you tonight. When you


    leave, take the spare key and key card at the entrance," Nina said.


    Luca nodded, walked out of the bedroom, and looked at the man in front of her. "Mr. Crawford, we can


    leave now."


    Luke''s gaze fell on her. A sh of surprise appeared in his eyes. Luca was more refined than before.


    Thebination of jewelry and clothes was just right. It made her gentle temperament radiate


    incisively and vividly.


    "You look great," heplimented her in a deep voice. It was like a silent evening breeze that gently


    brushed her neck.

    Luca could not help but shudder. She nodded immediately and replied, "Thank you."


    Luke noticed her actions. He turned around as a strange look shed in his eyes.


    The two left the apartment together. When they got to the entrance, Luca brought the spare key and


    key card with her.


    Seeing this, Luke wanted to remind her but in the end, he just smiled without saying anything.


    Nina watched them leave and could not help sighing in her heart about how great they looked


    together...
