The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 162

Meanwhile, Mika rummaged through the bags and pulled out a white dress similar to her ruined one, ducking into the restroom to change.

She had to admit, thousand-dollar designer labels really hit different.

They were both white maxi dresses, but the one Xavier brought crushed her fifteen-dollar knockoff in texture, tailoring, and overall elegance.

Wearing her new dress, Mika walked back to Lucas, looking shyly at the tips of her shoes.

"Does... does it suit me?"

Lucas looked up from his phone. The moment his eyes landed on her, he froze.

Truthfully, Mika had already looked beautiful in her cheap dress.

She was naturally stunning, needing no embellishment. Standing on the dappled balcony earlier, she had radiated a pure, gentle allure, like a dew-kissed gardenia on a branch.

But swathed in meticulously crafted designer silk, the identical silhouette gave her an entirely different aura.

The cinched waist perfectly accentuated her slender, feminine curves.

The off-the-shoulder neckline exposed a sweeping expanse of luminous skin and the sharp, delicate lines of her collarbones.

The silk blend caught the ambient light, shimmering with a subtle, breathtaking iridescence.

The loud, chaotic backdrop of the dive joint didn't drag down her elegance; it elevated it.

Amidst the gritty, mundane reality of the world.

She looked like an untouched, flawless pearl.

Lucas's eyes darkened, his voice dropping an octave as he offered an unfiltered compliment.

"You look incredible. It's perfect on you."

"Really?" Mika exhaled a visible breath of relief, though her ease was quickly replaced by a new kind of nervous fidgeting.

She hurried back to her seat, leaning in to whisper conspiratorially.

"Honestly, I only needed one dress. There are way too many bags here. They must have cost a fortune, right?"

"Not at all." Lucas glanced at the pile of ultra-luxury brands that an average person wouldn't even recognize, lying through his teeth.
