Chương 15: Don't cha

Luca spent all afternoon relaxing on the balcony of her room with Nova. It helped her clear her head while enjoying the salt air kissing her skin. When the sun slowly met the horizon, dyeing the sky with a tint of orange and gold, Luca readied herself for her dinner with Georgina and Xander.

Donning a black sleeveless dress with a plunging neckline to highlight her delectable mounds and a high slit that reached her thigh exhibited her hourglass body. She paired it with a layered necklace, studded earrings, a simple thin bracelet, and two rings on her middle finger: one at the end and the other barely reached her knuckle.

To complete her look, Luca wore a strap stiletto. She kept her sleek hair part cleanly in the middle, keeping it down and straight to the tip. Good thing Luca had prepared a small handbag to match her outfit and then carried a proud Persian cat on her other arm as the cherry on top.

Walking to the fine dining restaurant, Luca's hips tugged sideways at every step, treating the way as a catwalk platform. She kept her eyes ahead, unbothered by the usual glance cast upon her figure, and only stopped in front of the reception of the establishment.

"I'm with Madam Kane," she told the receptionist with a slight smile, watching the latter nod in understanding.

"This way, please, Miss Luca." The attendant gestured her arm and politely guided her to a private dining hall. As she followed the servant, Luca could not help but gaze down at Nova in her arms.

"I know you like me... I know you do~"

Her face contorted as her cat started singing a song. But somehow, it put a smile on her face and gave her extra confidence.

"... and in the back of your mind, I know you should be on with me~" Nova giggled while Luca's confident smile was cemented on her face. "Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me? Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?"

'Don't cha~' Luca sang in her head, doing the backup singing for Nova. When the attendant stopped in front of a sliding door, Luca's lips remained the same, but her mood and confidence skyrocketed to outer space. She had the best hype woman — cat.

"They're inside, Miss Luca," said the attendant politely, standing on the side to give way to her.

"Thank you..." Her eyes fell on the name attendant's name tag before raising her eyes. "Thank you, Karen."

The attendant smiled even wider and bowed slightly, charmed by Luca's demeanor. The latter was just as the news said, and at that moment, Luca gained another fan in her tremendous fanbase. As her duty, the attendant opened the door for Luca, and the latter entered the private dining hall gracefully.

As soon as she stepped foot inside, she first caught the transparent glass wall, showing the beautiful moon over the sea. The place was romantic, especially for a date, having to enjoy the view without getting to struggle with the strong wind.

"Miss Luca."

Luca snapped her eyes from the beautiful scenery when she heard Georgina's voice. Her eyes veered to Georgina, who was already sitting around the round table with a dashing man in a brown, slim-fit suit. Luca advanced in their direction while Georgina got up to welcome her halfway.

"I'm so glad you came," Georgina expressed excitedly, greeting her by leaning forward and her cheek touching Luca's. With a huge smile, she drew back and then tickled Nova's head. "Good to see you again, pretty Nova."

"Heh... I like her even more now." Nova meowed, enjoying the fingertips scratching her head.

"Did I make you wait?" asked Luca, to which Georgina answered whilst shaking her head.

"You just arrived right on time." The latter's lips curled up as the luster in her eyes was distinct. Anyone would notice. "Right. You've met my husband, right?"

Georgina looked back, only to see Xander already standing behind her. Her eyes softened even more, returning her husband's smile before facing Luca. She planted a hand on his shoulder, the other hand on his chest, eyes on Luca.

"I know you two had met before, but I still want to introduce you to each other, not as business associates. Luca, this is Xander, my husband." She grinned excitedly, but still kept her elegance despite her excitement. "Xan, this is Luca. I met her today, and we became friends almost instantly."

"Nice to see you again, Miss Luca." Xander extended his arm, offering his hand for a handshake.

"I'm usually a hugger," Luca humored with a grin, clasping Xander's hand mildly. "But there were exceptions. We've met again sooner than expected, Mister Kane."

"Sooner than expected, but not any less pleasant." He humored, retracting his hand, which he shoved inside his pocket.

"Well, shall we sit down?" Georgina suggested, darting her attention between her beloved husband and Luca. The two nodded with a smile, and with that being said, the three of them walked towards the table.

Around the round table, Georgina and Xander sat beside each other while Luca sat down across them. Nova was beside Luca, as usual. Since Georgina and Luca had gotten comfortable, they chatted as they waited for the food to be served. Xander's cordial personality allowed him to join their conversation from time to time.

"Congratulations." Luca beckoned with a toasting gesture. "I am utterly ashamed that I am disturbing your fifth-year wedding anniversary. It's not so romantic having a third wheel, is it?"

"No, Miss Luca. You do not have to." Xander chuckled, casting Georgina a look to back him up, which she happily did.

"That's right. We're glad to have you celebrate this special day with us," she reassured with an encouraging nod, holding Xander's hand.

"Whatever that makes my wife happy, I'm alright with it."

"Xan..."

"Blegh!" Nova retched from her seat, unable to maintain her composure at this rotten public display of affection. Luca maintained her smile, but in her mind, she was also retching just like her cat.

"How sweet." Luca chuckled, reaching for the glass of wine to take a sip. "Have some mercy for the third wheel."

Both of them chuckled in return for her joke, but actually, they should really have mercy on her.

"Oh!" Georgina's eyes suddenly lit up, watching Luca drink wine. "How about we hit the nightclub later? It'll be nice if Luca finds a partner for tonight!"

Luca nearly choked, coughing while patting her chest. 'What?!'

"Huehue~! For your information, this woman's target is that man sitting beside you!' Nova snickered, but clearly excited at the suggestion.

"What do you think?" Georgina looked at Luca with anticipation in her eyes, smiling from ear to ear as if this had just become her life mission. Luca cleared her throat and cast the husband and wife a quick look before shrugging.

"Well... sounds fun." She smiled sweetly, keeping her eyes on Georgina while watching Xander's reaction through her peripheral. Her curiosity tingled when Xander just looked at his wife in silence with this inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

'Huh? What's that look?' Luca wondered, making Nova look in Xander's direction.

Nova narrowed her eyes. 'Yeah… what's that look all about? Are they planning to murder you or what?'
