Chapter 359 - The 'Love' In Art

An enormous crowd was gathered at the vast and magnificent garden of White Meadow.

Reporters, socialites, art enthusiasts, actors, artists, and businessmen, people from every field of work attended the event to give face to the prestigious Lu family and their Young Miss, Seraphina Lu.

People were busy socializing, faking their smiles and gossiping while sipping bubbly white wine from the flute glasses in their hands.

The decorations were elegant with subtle hints of white in everything. From the white orchids to the pale curtains and the artistic white marble stone lectern on the slightly raised platform.

It was a refreshing contrast to the lush greenery.

A dashing figure in a silver-white custom made suit swaggered towards the raised platform, holding a microphone in his fair hands.

Each step, effortlessly illustrating the man's undeniable panache and dominance.

The excited reporters below the stage immediately turned their attention to the stage from the crowd. Flashing their cameras and microphones.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for gracing us with your presence on this auspicious event.."

Soon, Ethan Lee's soothing voice with a hint of coolness was heard, causing all ears to perk up.

The dispersed crowd was now attentively gathered in groups to listen to the man speaking with such fluidity.

Chang Holdings.

A frantic looking Assistant Xinglei strode towards Lucifer, who was leaning against the black leatherette and tapping away on the keyboard in his usual black attire, with an iPad.

"Boss! It's started.."

Offering the gadget to his boss, Xinglei's crisp voice was heard, he tapped once on the lit up screen before passing it to Lucifer.

On the screen was the live broadcast of Sera's art gallery.

Studying his friend on the stage through the iPad's screen, he hummed a tune in acknowledgement.

"Hmm.. You can go back! Carry out your work without any delay.."

Lazily casting a few instructions, Lucifer asked the bespectacled man to leave him alone while his gray orbs flickered with light.

"Yes Boss!"

Bowing to the man whose gaze was on the iPad's screen, Xinglei slipped out of the room.

On the platform, Ethan Lee looked too suave for words to describe, turning heads with each glance of his dark deep eyes. The man's short black hair were sleekly styled, highlighting his chiseled face. His cold lips lightly upturned into a confident smile.

The Lu's - Anna Lu, Lu Shanshan, Francis Lu and Lu Jinan along with the Lee's - Sophia Lee, Nathan Lee and Qin Ying, as well as Su Yin, her father - Su Bo Ying and Xia Ruo Lan stood watching Ethan Lee deliver his words. All of them had smiles on their faces.

Assistant Chen and Assistant Wang Fang too stood among the crowd witnessing the man speak on stage.

"I would now like to call our host, and my dear friend, Seraphina Lu to say a few words.."

Smiling gently, Sera emerged on the white platform, and took the microphone from Ethan Lee. He shot a rare smile, nodding his head at her, as a mark of encouragement.

Attired in a vibrant looking raspberry red one shoulder blazer bodycon dress, Sera looked quite a stunner. The dress was above knee lenght with a contrasting silver-white belt adding pizzazz. Her fair feet were donning a matching pair of silver high heels.

With minimal makeup, Sera had her dark hair tied into a sleek ponytail, framing her small face. Her alluring, and plump lips painted in a fruity red to match her outfit.

Walking to the center of the platform, and standing in front of the marble lectern Sera resembled a fairy in her red dress. She gave the audience below a slight bow before gracing them with her tender smile that touched her beautiful pair of bright eyes.

"Good afternoon everyone.. I'm your host Seraphina Lu!"

"First of all, I would like to thank all of you who have gathered here for the grand opening and success of this art gallery.."

With a sincere and sweet smile dancing about her red smeared lips, Sera's words flowed clear and smoothly, pleasant to one's ears. Her gaze and actions were infectious and engaging.

"You see, this art gallery is my longtime dream project, that I've been working hard for all my childhood. And, I'm extremely heartened to have witnessed all of your presence in celebrating this happiness with me and my family.."

A distant, hazy light shrouded Sera's beautiful black eyes, her face glowing with a hint of nostalgia as she spoke through the microphone.

"As a child, I was always mesmerized by the beauty of various hues and colors brought together on a simple white canvas in a fascinating melange.. The enrapturing medley of vivid colors painting a heart-warming illustration that describes one's feelings of love, happiness, grief and many other emotions, without any words of expression"

"To show everyone the creativity and sincerity in the displayed artworks, and experience the enrapturing world of escapism.. I personally welcome you all into the heart of our art gallery!"

From the moment Sera stood upon the pristine platform, she seemed to glow from within and bring out an inner radiance that was charismatic and genuine, to Lucifer's eyes.

Whether it was the way Sera spoke or from her graceful movements, she exuded an unique and irresistible charm that captivated the hearts of the audience in the most meaningful way. Including Lucifer.

Letting his eyes fall on the petite woman on stage, Lucifer found that he could not move his gaze from her for a very long time.

With a flick of her slender fingers, Sera surreptitiously signaled the man behind the crowd.

In a flash, the huge white board behind Sera, which was plain and simple lit up surprising everyone to reveal the name of the art gallery.

Consequently, Sera's voice rang in the pin drop silence as the dumbstruck crowd's bulging eyes were peeled behind her, in awe.

"I present you, Lu Sera - The 'Love' In Art!"

On the screen reflected a name, Lu Sera with a stalk of red rose comprising of a single thorn pointing towards the 'Lu' in 'Lu Sera', between the two words.

'Lu Sera?!'

Intently gazing at lit up name on the screen, Lucifer gasped in utter astonishment.
