Gazing at the reflection in the life-size mirror, Sera twirled fluidly spreading her fair and slender arms, her mellow and effortless movements akin to a graceful balletic.
A tender smile gracing her scarlet hued lips, lifting the ends of her white tulle skirt she gave herself a final once-over before slipping into her black kitten heels.
"Mother, I'm done..", Sera gracefully descended the stairs, her delicate hands resting on the railings.
Anna Lu and Lu Shanshan looked up to Sera's words. The pair were dressed to the T as they stood at the landing of the stairs waiting for her.
Earlier that day Anna Lu had lamented how much she missed her dear friend, Sophia Lee.
She had insisted that the ladies leave right away to Lee mansion after their breakfast while Jinan and Francis will join them during lunch.
The Lu ladies boarded a low-key Cadillac in white, the driver swiftly maneuvered the wheels and within fifteen minutes they reached their destination.
Sophia Lee was zestful as she stood at the entrance to welcome her friend, Anna Lu.
Dressed in a bright qipao, the old lady had a sunny smile resting on her barely aged, beautiful face when she saw her friend approaching towards her.
"Anna, I missed you!", Sophia chimed as she leaped into a hug.
"Ah~ When did you become so corny.. I see you've got some wrinkles", Anna said with a scrutinizing gaze after pulling back.
"Hmmph! I see.. You've gotten unsighted! I can recommend a good doctor", Sophia dragged her inside laughing at their little banter.
Sera and Lu Shanshan looked at each other at a loss, smiling they followed after the pair who were lost in their own world.
"Good morning Madam Lee..", Sera's lively voice made Sophia halt her steps and look at her exquisite face beaming brightly, like a ray of sunshine.
"Ah~ My dear, you look prettier than the last time I had seen you..", a sweet compliment by Sophia Lee made Sera blush faintly.
Ethan was standing upstairs looking at the petite figure clad in black and white, the monotonous colors looked all the more vivid on her willowy physique.
Ethan studied Sera's beauty with his eyes, he pondered on all her elegance and gracefulness as she sat beside Lu Shanshan with a lovely smile.
The man had surreptitiously changed his cool blue casuals to match with Sera's dress after he saw her alighting the white Cadillac.
Ethan's first thought after seeing Sera was - There is a kind of beauty that seems made to be painted on ivory, and such was hers.
Gliding down the stairs, Ethan's deep black eyes were fixed on Sera's small face, he approached the group with a blinding smile on his handsome face.
"Good morning ladies", Ethan greets them with a slight bow.
Sophia Lee who saw her grandson walking towards her almost puked blood at his words and atypical antics.
'He is behaving rather unusual today.. and his clothes? Wasn't he wearing something different, to be specific it was something in blue..'
Sophia's thoughts came to an abrupt halt when a bell-like laughter entered her sharp ears, narrowing her eyes Sophia Lee turned around.
Turning to the source Sophia Lee was bewildered at the sight, her grandson Ethan was smiling and conversing with Sera who was giggling at his bad jokes.
'No wonder.. this sneaky rascal was behaving so outlandishly!', Sophia had a suppressed smile on her lips.
She was obviously elated seeing Ethan's interest in Sera however she had to remain unobtrusive lest the man gets suspicious of her.
Given Ethan's character he'd not like her to meddle in his affairs. With an helpless expression, Sophia shook her head in resignment.
Ethan was leading Sera to the balcony from where they can appreciate the overview of the beautiful garden.
Sera looked at the smiling man, he had an air of nobleness to him as he stood against the railing of the balcony.
Ethan was tall, handsome with a masculine body, talented, successful and a good man. He was friendly and charming too. All in all he was the perfect package.
After spending time with Lucifer, talking about his childhood, his friends and family Sera understood the standing of Ethan in his life.
From her understanding, Ethan was a great friend and his friendship with Lucifer was no joke. Thus Sera decided to accept Ethan as a dear friend in her life, for Lucifer's sake.
Especially when Lucifer reminisced about his childhood days or spoke about something related to Ethan, there was a indescribable glint in his eyes.
Same goes to Ethan, whenever the man speaks about Lucifer his eyes brighten up like Christmas lights.
"Yes, I really liked that place...", Sera replied to Ethan with a smile.
As they chatted about trivial things Sera was seen caressing the red crystal pendant resting on her delicate clavicle, an acquired habit of hers after she received the precious gift from Lucifer.
The pendant was eye-catching against Sera's creamy skin paired with her black scoop necked top, Ethan couldn't stop gazing at it from time to time.
Just as Ethan was about to ask her about it Jinan entered the place, a scowl on his face as he saw the pair, all alone standing near the balcony.
"Sera!", he called out loud startling Ethan who swallowed back his words in shock and looked at the scowling Jinan with an odd expression.
Shrugging his thoughts Ethan politely nodded at the agitated man as a form of greeting.
"Brother.. You're quite early!", Sera went to his side, looking at her watch she exclaimed with an excited expression which made Ethan look at her in awe.
"Yes! I just happened to hear that you.. guys were already here", Jinan's eyes were locked on Ethan, a hint of irritation in his words as he shot a blazing look.
"Oh!", Sera could sense the animosity in his gaze, she looked at Ethan then back to Jinan.
As though sensing her confusion Jinan schooled his expression before pulling her to the side while glaring daggers at Ethan.
