By the time Luke and Selina entered the banquet hall, it was already time for the dancing.
A formal dinner party for the rich had to be swanky. Instead of a DJ playing music, there was a live band.
They walked along the wall just as a song ended.
After a moment of silence, the band adjusted slightly, and the muffled sound of a violin rang out in the hall.
Selina paused, her eyes glowing. “Tango?”
Luke stopped and nodded calmly. “Por Una Cabeza.”
He was thinking of another Chinese translation of the title — just one more step!
He recalled a product placement for calcium supplement from a certain movie in his previous life. A person wept as he recited the ad line: “Just one more step and the American arts would have had enough calcium.” Luke suddenly felt like laughing.
Luke had always been this way.
After being tortured by online users for so many years in his previous life, his train of thought had become twisted.
Even as he was recalling the movie, he stretched out his hand to Selina solemnly. “As the most handsome man at this party, I want to invite the most beautiful woman to dance with me. Is that alright?”
Selina decisively put her hand on his arm.
The two of them walked out and stood on the dance floor.
Most of the dance couples were young, and were partial to the performance aspect of the tango.
There was just one elderly couple whose movements were gentle and restrained. Their eyes were narrowed, as if they were reminiscing about the past.
Looking at the old couple and feeling the gentle but warm bond between them, Luke smiled before he looked back at Selina.
Selina was a little excited.
This was a scene she had dreamed about.
The main point wasn’t about how extravagant it was, but about the feeling of dancing while everyone watched.
As for where this scene came from, it was naturally a movie.
Luke also knew about the movie she had watched. He cooperated with her tacitly, and they assumed the same poses before the start of the dance.
The dance moves in the movie were “ordinary” and weren’t particularly difficult, but Luke and Selina liked the feeling of natural teamwork.
If he really wanted to do something difficult, he could throw her into the air and help her land smoothly.
But what was the point? They were just enjoying life; they weren’t superheroes beating up bad guys.
As they danced, they drew a lot of attention.
Among them, Jeffrey’s wife, Aurora, and her daughter, Lindsay, noticed them in a few seconds.
After watching Luke for a moment, Aurora paid attention to Selina.
In a rare instance, Selina was wearing a pair of silver high heels and a white halter top dress.
The dress was simple and only reached her calves, with splits on the sides which revealed her long and strong legs.
She had actually chosen such a high-split dress because it wouldn’t affect her ability to run or kick anyone.
But for the other women present, this dress and Selina’s energy blew both the socialites and upper-class ladies out of the park.
Selina’s wheat-colored back and legs were fully exposed and highlighted her beautiful curves.
These were outstanding qualities for a woman’s body, which couldn’t be improved with makeup or clothes.
Some of the “socialites” who loved athletic figures were even more jealous.
In front of them was a perfect body that they couldn’t get their hands on even if they spent a lot of money. Now, it had actually appeared on a… hm, an unfamiliar upstart. Envy and hate were about to shoot out of these socialites’ eyes.
They weren’t viewed as poor detectives, because their clothes and accessories couldn’t escape the vicious eyes of these socialites.
Their clothes were tailor-made and of top quality. Depending on the designer, the prices could range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. At the very least, they were above average at this party.
In terms of temperament, they didn’t have the typical “upper-class” behavior. However, their calm and steady air made them seem more like successful, low-key juniors.
For a moment, all kinds of gazes and whispers surrounded them, but nobody disturbed them as they danced.
After watching for a moment, Aurora was moved. She gently patted her daughter’s back and asked in a low voice, “You… haven’t been seeing him recently?”
Lindsay didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She had a good impression of Luke, but she was also an ambitious and capable heiress. Her enterprise was currently on the rise, and she had no time to consider relationships.
Besides, it was always the men who took the initiative to approach her. She wouldn’t proactively contact Luke.
Their paths didn’t cross, and after she got busy, she forgot about him.
Lindsay also despaired over her mother, who was a loyal “face-con.” She wanted Lindsay to contact Luke just because he was handsome!
However, Lindsay knew that this was also lingering trauma caused by what happened with Monroe.
Now, Aurora wanted her to find a boyfriend as soon as possible, as long as he wasn’t ugly, had a good character, and had a stable career.
For Aurora, who believed that her daughter could become the second female U.S. president, having a son-in-law who didn’t stand out was actually very good.
For example, Luke was very suitable.
Not only was he calm and low-key, he was also very strong. It was a good thing for the future female president to have a “First Husband” who was a part-time bodyguard.
Of course, Lindsay didn’t know that her mother had such a “long-term view.” She just felt a little helpless.
She just admired Luke and Selina.
She was obsessed with personal growth and had no time to care about material things or looks. Her mentality was much better than those socialites and upper-class ladies.
It didn’t take long for “Por Una Cabeza” to finish.
Luke and Selina didn’t linger either. Trading smiles, they held hands and left the villa.
Some of the young men who had wanted to chat up Selina could only drop it when they noticed that the two of them didn’t return after leaving the hall.
Some of the “socialites” couldn’t help but curse inwardly, thinking that the two of them had gone off to find a room and have fun.
However, they couldn’t hide the envy in their tones.
After all, Luke was someone who could rely on his looks to make a living, and there were a lot of “socialites” who were interested in this type.
