Lara was sitting on his right, while Luke is beside her and Sandra to his left as they had dinner. After she and Sandra had left the spa for their room, they found dresses prepared for them in their bed.
When they went down to meet Alex and Luke, Lara haven't even realized how pretty she is that night. She was given a white long dress with thin straps that hugged to her waist and a flowy skirt. Her hair flows smoothly at her back, and her skin radiant.
As they had just came from the spa, she didn't put anything on her face, only a gloss to her lips.
Her simplicity along with the botanical theme of the dining hall made her look an enchanted fairy that came from the woods. While Sandra doned a soft pink dress alongside her.
"Wow, mommy looks like an angel." Luke said to Alex as the two girls walk to their table.
Seeing Luke, she smiled instantly. He was wearing a while polo with a black bow tie and black pants. When her gaze went to Alex however, her heart jumped out of her chest.
He was wearing the same outfit as Luke less the bowtie. He left two buttons undone making her gulp. His hair is neatly combed in place making him look like a sexy vampire. And his eyes skimmed her from head to foot in appreciation.
She blushed immediately.
He pulled a chair for her and Sandy, then the chef began serving their food. When she look up at the chef she recognized him to be the same chef who cooked for them at the yacht!
"Good evening Miss Lara. Nice to see you again." The chef smiled warmly.
"Good evening Chef Daniel. I'm surprised to see you here." She greeted back.
"Well, I regularly work here. Except when Alex calls me for something." He explained.
Huh? He can call a chef from his work like that?
"Big Sister, I forgot to mention you, this property is ours." Sandra smiled sheepishly. Oh, that explains it.
"Please, enjoy your meal." The chef then left after they murmured their thanks.
The meal is ofcourse very delicious and they enjoyed it making the chef very happy. Her father once told her that when a person is happy as he cooks, the happiness is felt by the person eating. If he feels terrible however, no matter how skilled he is, the person who ate his food will not enjoy it.
Chef Daniel specializes in European cuisine and she had learned that he is Alex's friend. That the restaurant here at the resort is half owned by him therefore when Chef Daniel cooked for them at the yacht, it was indeed a special request by Alex.
While the chef at the mansion mainly cooks Chinese and other Asian cuisine. Cake and ice cream was served soon after for their dessert.
She didn't even notice she had an icing at the corner of her lips until Alex reached it with his table napkin.
"Oh, sorry." She muttered.
He leaned in to whisper at her ear, "I would have kissed it but the kids are here." Which made the color on her face a bright pink in embarassment.
Alex only chuckled seeing her blush. Tucking her hair behind her ear, he said "So shy."
Lara lowered her head unable to look at the kids on the table.
They walked to the back of the resort that is adorned with so many flowers and a gazebo at the middle. It was painted white and stand out against the violet orchids of different species, and many other flowers she can't name.
Alex holding her hand walked towards the gazebo.
"Dance with me." He said when they reach.
"There's no music." She pointed out at him.
"I'll sing for you." Then his hand held her waist while the other her hand close to his chest. She put her other hand on his shoulder instinctively.
Then he began singing a song that is dear to her heart.
