LUNA: Alpha’s Soulmate from Another World

“Are you sure this is Luna?” asked Nicole, sitting on another sofa in a simple black dress wrapped around her body. If Luna lets her brown hair down, Nicole ties her black hair up quickly. The glasses, which used to perch on Nicole’s nose, are now being stored and changed to blue lens contacts.

“Your opponents are the ones whose wealth outweighs ours when combined.”

“I know, but I’m a businessman, remember?”

“Huh! I know it, lady. You’re arrogant.” Nicole grunted irritably, making Luna laugh slowly. Luna was not offended because she knew Nicole wasn’t serious about saying that sentence.

Then, their conversation came to a halt when the lounge area door was knocked on, and one of the event staff members said that the auction was about to begin. Of course, Luna immediately rushed out of the room, followed by Nicole to the hall where the event was.

The staff who were with the two women directed them to one of the central seating areas. After briefly explaining the event, the staff turned away, leaving Luna and Nicole in the chair with the other guests.

Luna inclines her body to Nicole’s right side and whispers in her manager’s ear, “I have a good feeling tonight. You’ll see.”

“What if your gut’s wrong?” Nicole asked with a sour face.

Luna, who had focused her eyes forward where the stage was, inevitably turned her eyes to look at her manager and muttered, “Don’t you believe me?” before returning her gaze towards the stage, instead towards the podium on the stage.

“I’m hungry, and we haven’t eaten anything since noon. You know?” Luna muttered to change the subject.

Nicole opened her vibrating phone while answering, “Patience. I heard this auction was only about ten things, after which dinner was held together. You can eat all you want. Besides, you bought burgers and nuggets at McDonald’s on our way to this hotel.

“That’s different!”

“All right… ”

The noisy sound of people talking instantly came to a standstill when a man in a tuxedo walked across the stage and stood behind the podium.

The man Luna knew as the host at this auction started by opening the event and explaining its purpose. Then, he continued with the series of events and the rules of the auction until finally, the auction began.

During the auction, Luna could not stop her awkward smile as she saw people racing to own the item no matter how much money was spent. Even Nicole dubbed the auction an elite war.

Luna fought for the antiques in the display several times but always lost. Her aggression was defeated by a woman or a man twice her age.

Luna and Nicole finally chose to be spectators, but Luna felt interested when the ninth-order item came out. It’s a reasonably large mirror with frames made of gold carvings. “Is it real gold around the mirror?” Nicole muttered in amazement.

“I don’t know.” Luna kept quiet and listened to the auctioneer’s description. The mirror is dated to the 19th century, Queen Victoria’s era. A historian discovered it in a remote area of England, dusty in an old house.

The historian, tracing the traces of an English nobleman at the time, found an old abandoned house on the outskirts of town. Residents said that the house used to be owned by a young woman, but something happened, and suddenly, the woman disappeared, leaving the house just like that.

The surrounding residents, who were initially worried that the house was no longer inhabited, decided to forget its existence until finally, the historian arrived, found the mirror, and gave it to the Rozen family as a gift.

The price of the mirror opened at a nominal hundred thousand dollars. Then, some people started offering it at a higher price. The bidding price continued to rise until it hit five hundred thousand dollars. Still, after that, no one wanted to bid anymore. The cost of five hundred thousand dollars for antique mirrors is already costly, especially for some people. Mirrors are only used to decorate the room and do not have high value, like paintings or other antiques.

Luna can’t stop lifting her number board and doesn’t realize it when her lips open. She says, “A million dollars!”

Everyone immediately looked at her. Even the auctioneer looked at her chair with a suspicious look. After everyone woke up from surprise, whispers were heard. The auctioneer immediately counted one to three before knocking on the hammer, a sign that Luna was the winner, and bought an antique mirror for a million dollars.

After the mirror was reinserted, Luna was escorted to one of the rooms to make the payment. She didn’t hesitate to swipe her American Express black card. After completing the transaction and the antique mirror was hers, Luna asked the auction organizers to send it to her Penthouse.

Then, she was led back to her seat, where Nicole had been waiting. “You’re out of your mind, Luna!”

“No, I’m not. I’m in my right mind.”

Nicole is tongue-tied. “Yeah, you’re out of your mind! A million dollars for a mirror? I doubt I even bought a fifty-dollar mirror at the furniture store. Besides, you can offer it for five hundred fifty thousand or six hundred thousand dollars or anything beyond five hundred thousand dollars, but a million dollars? Maya will be surprised when she hears this.”

Maya Madhiaz. The woman who earned the title of her closest friend, or perhaps best friend, is a famous model. They met by accident at one of the party events four years ago. Maya, who was spreading her wings as a model, collided with Luna, making Luna’s dress filled with red wine. Maya certainly felt guilty and took Luna to a separate area from the party hall, buying Luna a new dress from the boutique around the building where the party event occurred.

Later, when Maya finds out that the woman she accidentally watered was Luna Alicia, she immediately goes into hysterics and says she is a big fan of Luna.

After that, they chatted, exchanged cell phone numbers, and often met for meals or vacations until they became close friends. Maya also knows Luna’s past and vice versa. Every time they come to a show, they’ll always be together, whether when Maya’s with her boyfriend or alone. The organizers also invited Maya this time, but the woman could not attend because she was in the Asian region for a photo shoot.

Luna smiled and commented, “I don’t think she’d be surprised. Maya must have thought I’d do something unreasonable.”

“You’re right.”

Finally, the auction ended and closed with a dinner. Many people came to Luna and congratulated her on possessing the antique mirror. However, it can be seen that they were questioning her sanity.
