By the time Luke and Selina entered the banquet hall from the side, it was already time to dance.
A formal banquet for a tycoon had to be extravagant. Instead of a DJ playing CDs, a band played live music.
The two of them slid along the wall for a few steps, and the song came to an end.
After a moment of silence, the band adjusted slightly, and the melancholy sound of a violin rang out, and a charming and passionate melody echoed in the hall.
Selina paused, and her eyes glowed. "Tango?"
Luke stopped and nodded calmly. "One step away."
In his heart, he was thinking of another Chinese translation — "One step away!"
Then, in his mind, there was an advertisement for calcium in a movie from his previous life. Someone was crying and saying the advertisement line, "Just one step away from giving calcium to the American art world." He suddenly felt like laughing.
Although it was a little unfair to Selina, Luke's divergent thinking had always been like this.
After years of being tormented by those online jokes in his previous life, his thinking was always unconsciously skewed toward bad taste.
Recalling the plot of the movie, he still extended his hand to Selina solemnly. "As the most handsome man at this party, I'd like to invite the most beautiful woman to dance with me. Is that okay?"
Selina quickly put her hand on his arm, as if to say, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
They walked out from the side and stood in the middle of the dance hall, where several couples were already dancing.
Most of the couples were young people, who preferred this kind of tango, which had a certain performance nature.
Only one pair of white-haired couples was an old couple. Their movements were very gentle, and they didn't move too much. Their eyes were slightly narrowed, as if they were reminiscing about the past.
Looking at the old couple and sensing the calm but warm exchange of emotions between them, Luke smiled and looked back at Selina.
Selina, however, was a little excited.
She had seen this scene in her dreams before.
Luxury wasn't the main theme, but the feeling of dancing in front of everyone.
As for the source of this scene, it was naturally a movie.
Luke also knew about the movie she was watching, so he cooperated with her as if their minds were linked. He assumed the pose of the man and woman in the movie before they found the right rhythm and began.
Compared with the choreographed moves used in competitions, the dance in the movie was rather "ordinary." There wasn't anything particularly difficult about it, but Luke and Selina liked the natural and tacit feeling.
If he really wanted to do something difficult, he could throw her in the air and spin her body a thousand and eighty degrees, and she could still land smoothly.
But what was the point? They're enjoying life, not superheroes beating up bad guys.
As the two of them danced, they attracted a lot of attention.
Jeffrey's wife, Aurora, and daughter, Lindsay, noticed them within seconds.
After observing Luke for a moment, Aurora focused her attention on Selina.
Tonight, Selina was wearing a pair of silver crystal high heels and a white lace dress that revealed her back.
The design of the dress was simple. The hem of the dress only reached her calves, and the side slit reached her thighs. Her strong and slender thighs were faintly discernible.
However, she had chosen this dress with such a high slit only because it wouldn't affect her running and kicking people.
But for the other women present, this dress, when paired with Selina, was more vibrant and visually impactful than all the other women present. Even the well-dressed socialites were no exception.
The backless dress and the high slit fully showcased Selina's light brown back and thighs, and her beautiful body lines were particularly eye-catching.
This was the excellence of a woman's body, which couldn't be enhanced by makeup or clothes.
What was even more enviable was that Selina, with her beautiful muscles, was very prominent in both the front and back. She wasn't flat at all.
Although a lot of "socialites" secretly muttered that she must've stuffed silicone in, they knew better than to say it out loud.
The natural curves of Selina's body when she danced couldn't have been artificial.
The eyes of a few "socialites" who loved healthy bodies turned red.
In front of them was a perfect curve that they couldn't carve even after spending a lot of money, but it had now appeared on a … strange nouveau riche. Envy, jealousy, and hatred were about to erupt from the eyes of these socialites.
The reason why they weren't treated as poor detectives was naturally because their clothes couldn't escape the vicious eyes of these socialites.
Their clothes were handmade, and the tailoring was top-notch. The price depended on the maker's reputation, and could range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. At this banquet, they were at least above average.
In terms of temperament, they didn't have the typical "upper-class style," but they were calm and steady, which made them look more like successful, low-key second-generation kids.
For a moment, all kinds of gazes and whispers surrounded them, but nobody disturbed their dance.
After watching for a moment, Aurora was a little tempted. She gently patted her daughter Lindsay on the back and asked in a low voice, "You … haven't been seeing him lately?"
Lindsay didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She had a good impression of Luke, but she was more of an ambitious second-generation kid. Her career was on the rise, and she hadn't considered feelings at all.
Besides, it had always been those men who took the initiative to approach her. How could she take the initiative to contact Luke?
Their lives had nothing to do with each other, and she had forgotten about Luke when she was busy.
Lindsay was also very desperate for her mother, who was a loyal fan of "looks." Didn't she just want her to interact with handsome boys?
However, Lindsay knew that this was also because of the trauma her mother had suffered from the incident with Monroe.
Now, Aurora just 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 relationship, it would be fine.
For Aurora, who believed that her daughter could become the second female president, it was actually good to have a son-in-law who wasn't too popular.
For example, this Luke was very suitable.
Not only was he calm and low-key, but he was also very strong. The future female president had a "Mr. Number One" who also worked as a bodyguard, which was a good thing.
Of course, Lindsay didn't know that her mother was so "far-sighted." She was just a little helpless.
She only admired Luke and Selina.
In this regard, she was obsessed with personal development and wasn't keen on comparing material goods and looks. Her mentality was much better than that of those socialites.
"One Step Away" didn't last long, and was over in a few minutes.
Luke and Selina didn't stay any longer. They smiled at each other and left the villa to go home.
Some of the young second-generation kids who had been thinking of hitting on them noticed that they didn't return after leaving the hall, and could only give up.
Some of the "socialites" couldn't help but curse "shameless couple" in their hearts, certain that the two of them had gone to a room to have fun.
However, they couldn't hide the envy, jealousy, and hatred in their curses.
After all, Luke was now a man who could rely on his looks to make a living, and there were many "socialites" who had the urge to collect him.
