Chapter 13 - The Birthday Banquet - 1

Madam Lu was smiling ear to ear after Sera agreed to go the birthday party.

Sera was feeling refreshed after sleeping and eating a hearty breakfast, she happily skipped her way to the painting room in the mansion. Sera was mostly found in her room, the garden lake or the painting room.

The painting room was a large room on the second floor of the mansion, it was where Sera's paintings were kept.

Sera spent most of her time painting and partying with her friend, Su Yin.

Sera started painting when she was around 10 years and has been painting since then. Her love for art is on a different level, from an early age she was fascinated by colors, nature and was curious to learn different things. She loved colors, just like her colorful personality.

The painting room was a large room with four floor to ceiling glass windows, the walls were painted white and there were a lot of different paintings and canvases covered with white sheets.

A large white shelf with colors, different painting brushes and tools was arranged neatly. There was not a speck of dust, everything was cleaned personally by Aunt Zhou every day.

Sera walked to a large canvas placed in the center of the room and lifted the white sheet off the canvas.

Staring at the colors on the canvas Sera had a very different and enticing smile on her face. Her eyes were smiling along with her dainty face. She looked happy and beautiful.

Sera picked a brush from the brushes placed nearby the canvas and started stroking light strokes of color. Her lips were curved in an alluring smile she looked heavenly like a painting while painting.

At the Lee mansion, Ethan was sitting in his study when there was a soft knock. Assistant Chen walked in slowly with a bunch of documents and files. Placing everything on the table he looked at his boss.

It was a mesmerizing sight, Ethan looked too handsome while concentrating on his laptop screen. Assistant Chen broker his daze and presented his report.

"Boss, Mr.Lucifer is currently out of the country, So it's likely that he won't be attending the birthday banquet"

"Okay, you can go now. I'll call you later", Ethan knew about Lucifer's whereabouts so he didn't care much about it.

After assistant Chen left Ethan called a private number on his phone. After a couple of rings the call went through and a sluggish voice was heard.

"Hello, What's up? You missing me already?", Lucifer shamelessly teased his friend.

"Yeah right, I'm dying to meet you. So get your ass back here as soon as you can", Ethan retorted.

"I'll try, don't worry even if I can't make it I'll send the gift with someone"

"Stop acting all high and mighty, you know grandmother's temper. I just wanted to remind you, it's your final call to attend or not to attend"

"Okay, I got it. Thanks for your kindness now fuck off I was sleeping"

" Lazy ass, I was busy working unlike someone. Whatever bye"

After confirming that his friend is fine Ethan buried himself back in work.

Days were passing peacefully and finally the day of the birthday banquet arrived. Madam Lu was excited and was preparing everything from the early hours of the morning.

Sera was surprised to see her grandmother getting so excited for a party which was not even held in their house.

The preparations were as if it's their own party at their place. Amused Sera decided to call Su Yin to ask her to accompany her today and prepare for the banquet. Su Yin agreed instantly and arrived in less than 15 minutes.

Even Sera was shocked by her friend's speed. It was only after Su Yin told her that madam Lu told Su Yin a couple days back about the banquet and asked her to come help Sera, that Sera was relieved.

After preparing everything and dressing up Sera along with Su Yin went downstairs to join her family.

Seeing Sera and Su Yin madam Lu was ecstatic. Her smile was hard to ignore, and Lu Shanshan was also happy to see her daughter looking so beautiful. Mr.Lu and Jinan were going to join them directly from their office. So without waiting all the ladies left for the banquet.
