Chapter Twenty-Six XII
"I like the peacefulness of the night," Lander whispered as his hands is on Celestine's waist guiding it to sway with the music while her hands is on his shoulders.
"Me too," she said in a low tone of voice while she was staring at him.
Celestine can't help but stare at Lander's face with the urge of pinching herself to know if she was just dreaming or not. She can't believe that she's with a handsome man with the right intentions for her. It was quite unbelievable. It was like she's in a fairytale right now where she feel like a princess having a dance with her prince charming.
"You're so beautiful," he mumbled.
As the light crossed Celestine's face it was as if in slow motion, her eyes twinkled with a smile that reaches it. Lander swallowed upon realizing how beautiful Celestine is. He couldn't believe that the woman in front of him actually said yes to the dinner date and was smiling genuinely at him right now.

She also paired it with her white stiletto. It was not too revealing like how Vincent pictured it to be so she rolled her eyes."Nope, it's not revealing it's perfectly fine," she said, spraying an expensive perfume all over her body. She was surprised to see her things that she left in the hotel properly arranged in Vincent's room after they had their breakfast. She did not bother asking because obviously Vincent asked his men to pick her things in the hotel while she's peacefully sleeping a while ago."I can see your boob cheek from here.
