The makeup artist came in and looked at Luca's slim figure. Her eyes shone with admiration. "Ms. Luca, you look gorgeous in
this silk gown."
"You did a great job at dressing me up." Luca felt embarrassed to receive such compliments.
"We just bought this silk gown yesterday. It was designed and sewn by the best tailor in our country. Speaking of that, you're
lucky to be able to have this beautiful gown. It's just that the waistline of the gown is a little wider. It needs some altering." The
makeup artist sized her up and found out what was wrong with just a glance.
Luca's waist was too small. The gown was in the smallest size, but Luca's waist was still too small for the gown.
“Your assistant has already gone looking for the tailor,” said Luca.
"Okay. It's better to look for the tailor. It won't take long to alter this. Besides, I don't dare to do anything to such good material,"
said the makeup artist. Then, she put the faux fur coat and pieces of jewelry aside.
After a while, the assistant brought the tailor along with her and came in.
"Ms. Reeves, please help us to alter the gown's waistline. It's too big." The makeup artist was polite to the tailor.
"Okay. Let me measure her size first. Otherwise, it'll be difficult for me to alter it." The tailor named Ms. Reeves immediately
picked up the measuring tape and measured Luca's body size.
After Ms. Reeves noted down the measurements, she said to Luca, “Miss, please take off the gown first. Let me alter it for you.
Give me 10 minutes.”
"Okay." Luca walked back into the fitting room. After she took off the gown, she put on the coat and waited in the fitting room.
The assistant took the gown out and handed it to Ms. Reeves.
Ms. Reeves was agile and quick. She immediately began to alter the gown with the sewing machine beside the fitting room.
At that moment, Luke came in. He was already dressed up.
Another makeup artist had dressed him up like a warlord in the 1930s. Men's makeup was much easier than women's. They only
needed to touch up a little and the man was good to go.
The makeup artist was stunned when she looked at Luke.
Luke was wearing a military commander's uniform from the 1930s. His tall figure was like a model, which made him look really
good in the uniform. He looked like a young marshal who had transmigrated from the 1930s. He was sexy, handsome, noble,
and mysterious. He also had his usually cold and expressionless face.
His mysterious aura made people curious yet fascinated by him.
Sure enough, a handsome man would become even more good-looking after getting dressed up.
The makeup artist even thought that if directors were filming a movie or TV show with the background set in the 1930s, would
they still choose other male actors to be the male lead when they saw Luke in this uniform?
He was exactly like a domineering young marshal in the 1930s...
She had seen couples who chose the same theme before, but none of those men could look so good in that uniform. It was as
though this uniform was designed for him.
However, the military uniform was different from the silk gown.
After all, a variety of colors and patterns were available for the silk gowns, but men's clothing in the 1930s basically all looked like
this.
Luke looked at the makeup artist who remained silent. He frowned and asked, "Hasn't she finished dressing up yet?"
"The waistline of the gown that Ms. Luca chose is a little too big for her. The tailor is altering it for her now. It'll be quick," the
makeup artist came back to her senses and replied.
Luke nodded. There was a look of overbearing pride in his eyes.
The makeup artist could not help but secretly shout, “Oh my goodness, he's handsome.
Luca stood in the fitting room. Her face reddened when she heard Luke's voice. He should be taking the photos together with
her.
Hence, he should be dressed up like a military marshal now.
She wondered what he looked like in that uniform.
Even though Luca had not seen Luke in the uniform, she believed that he must look good in it. He looked good no matter what
he wore.
He was born with a model figure.
Previously, Luca heard Percy and Jim mention it when they were talking to him. There was once a model scout who tried to sign
Luke up to be a model when Luke was still in university.
They even told Luke that they would spend all the money on him to make him popular.
Luke did not stay in Crawford Manor when he was in university. He did not reveal his identity either. He chose to rent an
apartment outside.
The model scout waited for him every day at his apartment after Luke rejected him. He wanted to get in Luke's way, and he kept
on persuading Luke, trying to convince him to agree with it.
However, Luke was not interested in becoming a celebrity. He was not interested in female celebrities either. The agent pestered
him for the whole semester. He even tried different ways to tempt Luke to agree with him, but he still failed.
He had no choice but to give up.
Besides, Luke even moved to other apartments twice just to avoid the agent...
Luca thought it was funny when she heard that. That was when she found out that Luke, who was never afraid of anyone or
anything, would go as far as moving to another place to avoid someone.
Moreover, that person was a man.
Luca could not help but chuckle when she recalled it. She looked at herself in the mirror and was startled for a moment.
She was smiling happily.
Luca felt blissful whenever she thought about him.
The smile on her face slowly faded. The happier she was, the more she could feel the greed in her.
She hoped that she could stay by Luke's side and never part with him.
The assistant took the gown from Ms. Reeves after she finished altering it. She walked into the fitting room and said, “Ms. Luca,
it's done."
Luca came back to her senses. Her smile faded. She nodded and said, "Okay."
"Let me help you," said the assistant as she helped her to put on the gown.
The makeup artist came walking into the fitting room too. After Luca changed, she helped Luca to put on the jewelry. Then, she
eventually wrapped the faux fur coat around Luca's arm, making it look like a shawl.
"It's a faux fur wrap. Don't worry," said the makeup artist. Many people hated real fur.
"Okay." Luca looked at herself in the mirror. It was finally done.
The assistant took a pair of new heels and came in. Then, she handed them to the makeup artist and asked, "Miss, what do you
think about this?"
"Great. This pair of high heels suits her. Ms. Luca, please put on the heels. They're new," said the makeup artist. She took them
out, squatted down, and helped Luca put on the heels.
After Luca put on the stiletto heels, she walked on the spot. The friction between the heels and the floor made a clattering sound.
"Your appearance complements Mr. Crawford's. Shall we head to the photography studio?" the makeup artist asked.
"Alright." Luca walked out of the fitting room. Her gaze met Luke, who was standing outside.
Luke's eyes were full of amazement.
The silk gown made the contours of Luca's body even more beautiful.
The vintage makeup on her face made her delicate facial features even more mature and feminine.
However, that was not all of it. She had this tender look on her that made him want to hold her in his arms and protect her.
"Do I look ugly.." Luca thought Luke did not like her dressed like this when she noticed that Luke did not say anything.
Although Luca thought she looked great, Luke's aesthetic standards were different from hers.
“You look stunning." Luke came forward and held her hands, sounding sincere. “I don't even want you to take the gown off you,
and the makeup..."
