15 THE TRANSFORMATION
JAX'S POV
Leaving Luna in the Styling salon for the moment will spare me some time to juggle things at hand without any help from a secretary.
But definitely, I could get some help from the cruise staff to do things for me.
As I am heading the Executive Lounge to set things up for the event tonight, I meet Mr. Bishop and his colleagues in the doorway.
“Hello, Mr. Green, it’s so nice to see you around, and Oh! your girlfriend is not with you?” Mr. Bishop said curiously.
“Well...she’s just somewhere to get herself pampered. I’m so sorry but I’m quite busy right now, please excuse me!” Jax entered the lounge quickly to avoid the group.
He knows that they belong to the Black Cabal messengers, he saw them in Tamtam's memory.
“It seemed that we have a big problem right now, dealing with the Master Elder's son” Mr. Bishop sighed and he continued “We will never stop until will get a chance with the spy, alone”. His companions agreed and nodded.
Jax felt relieved as soon as he entered the lounge.
He's glad that Tamtam is around to protect and accompany Luna in the salon.
He approached the lounge personnel desk and welcomed by “Laura”.
She flirtatiously smiled and speaks like she wanted to bite him.
She is young and very ecstatic in every inch of her.
She is just the same as other girls, who had been trying to take him to bed without any success.
These kinds of girls keep hitting on him, thinking that if they could get him in bed means winning a jackpot in a lottery.
He is reminded of his blonde executive secretary, Freja, who is in charge of Green Island.
Freja always keeps him edgy and heightened his physical needs but he always turned her down.
As much as he wanted to kick her out, she's the most qualified and reliable secretary to handle the business transactions in Green Island.
He started to pull and brushed up his auburn hair to keep his attention at present and he started feeling impatient.
Then, his little demon inside him kicks in as he speaks, “So, you see Laura... I’m here for business and I have no time to play around” he looks at her sternly and her smile slowly faded.
Then Jax continued, “And these are the things that I want you to do, I want you to reserve the music lounge for a private event for all single men onboard. I want you to send invitations to all the single men passengers and crews, who can participate in the special event tonight. I will pay for everything from decorations, food, drinks, musicians, and host. Just make everything special!” Laura was surprised by the guest's arrogance and demands.
She flashed her playful grin and replied, “But Mr. Green, it’s quite short notice...”
“Yes, you will do it or you will lose your job and I mean it!” He said with finality and handed his debit card to pay everything in cash.
Laura shivered from his authoritative voice and took his card and she asked, "Mr. Green, please tell me, what would be the event for?"
"The event is called Searching Mr. Right, whoever wins for the search, the guy who will perfectly match my friend, will win $500,000 and the couple will enjoy a cruise package for a Southeast Asian tour!” he announced.
Laura was shocked at the big prize at stake.
Her eyes widened and started dialing. She called the cruise director, the hotel manager, the program manager, the bar manager, and the executive chef, informing them about the special event.
Then, she started to type in and printed invitations and a welcome poster, and called in the head of the butler’s service to send door-to-door invitations for all single men onboard.
“Great job, Laura! Thank you for your help.” He flashes his sweetest grin and took his card.
Then he quickly left the executive lounge.

LUNA’S POV
Luna was surprised at the huge difference in her looks before and after she had the make-over.
She had been in the salon the whole morning, pampered by the salon personnel, from hair treatment, foot spa, foot, and fingernails treatment, facial treatment, lashes, and make-up.
Her image in the mirror speaks more than the goddess of beauty.
I’m speechless!
Everyone in the salon is also speechless!
My long hair was cut into layered and it's shining beautifully after the wax treatment.
Then, my eyebrows were perfectly shaped for my oval shape face while my new extended black lashes emphasize my round, emerald green eyes, the natural look makeup completed it perfectly.
Such beautiful magical works by the hand of creative humans!
I just couldn't believe what I saw in the mirror.
Then suddenly, I saw Jax entering the door of the salon.
He froze.
His eyes speak more than words can tell.
"Am I looking at a goddess?"
"Oh, My! She looks so gorgeous!"
His thoughts filled in my mind.
I called him out to stop me from lurking inside his head.
"Hey, Jax!" I called him twice before he manages to walk and approached me in my seat.
"Are you done? I have reserved a private dining room for our lunch" he said and grin.
"Yes, I am, we'd better go now." And added, "I'm feeling hungry now" while holding my tummy.
He helped me rise from my seat and reached for my hand and intertwined our arms and escorted me out from the salon.
Every person who meets us in the hallway expresses their appreciation to the both of us and filled in my mind.
"Wow! What a beautiful couple!"
"Oh, they're a perfect match!"
"Oh, My! they're perfectly made for each other."
And so on... I tried my best to close my mind from lurking around, reading minds.
We arrived in the private dining room.
The beautiful room welcomed us with a red carpet, the interior speaks of minimalist decor.
It has white walls and beautiful carvings on it, the huge Venetian windows show the beauty of the sea and it has a huge crystal chandelier at the center of the ceiling.
Jax ushered me to my seat and he seated the opposite side of the table.
Then, the two butlers came in to serve our food that he ordered in advance.
We enjoyed our sumptuous meal with a light conversation.
Jax cleared his throat and started to open up for the evening's event.
"So you see Luna, I really wanted to help you with your search for the right heart. I have set up an event later for a quick way to search for the right one" he proudly said.
She coughed and said "Really?!? How is that possible? Are you sure about this?" she said anxiously.
He nodded in response while drinking his wine.
They completed their meal and decided to walk around the pool area.
They seated at the pool lounge and enjoyed watching the people swimming in the pool and kids running around.
The pools have two jacuzzies in front, a huge and long infinity pool, and a smaller pool for the kids.
After enjoying the view of the pool, they decided to go back to their suite room to have some rest.
Jax positioned himself in the bed facing the door while Luna facing his back.
And silence.
Jax drifts off to sleep while her mind is wondering about the coming event.
She decided to take a dip in the tub to relax her senses.
Anyways, she could always fix her looks afterward in a snap.
As soon as the tub is successfully filled with water and prepared with some essential oils and dried flowers.
She gets in the tub.
And doze off.
The air becomes cold and Luna shivered.
She just awakened from a nap.
Oh, My! I have fallen asleep in the tub!
I quickly jumps off the tub and rushed to the shower.
Then, I wrapped myself in a towel while checking on the luggage of the dress that I'm going to wear for tonight's event.
And I've chosen the red lacey, off-the-shoulder, midi Valentino dress and a pair of red sexy two inches heels.
Luna started to walking out from the en suite bathroom to the bedroom area.
The bed is empty.
Where's Jax?
Then, I heard his voice talking with Tamtam in the dining area of the room.
Luna slowly walk out into the dining and they stopped talking.
"Hey Jax!" I called out and nudge him.
"Ugh! I'm so sorry, I haven't change yet. Just give me a minute, okay?" he said and ask Tamtam for his help.
Then, Tamtam moves quickly, flying around and around with Jax until the magic happens.
He is transformed.
He is wearing a black suit with a light blue dress shirt and a pair of pants and black shoes.
His auburn hair is sleek-looking which compliment his get-up.
Oh, My! He is so hot!
"Are you ready?" he asked.
I nodded.
And we started walking our way to the music lounge.
The music filled the air.
And flashes of colorful lights sets the ambiance of the lounge.
Then, a welcome poster at the entrance printed, "Welcome to Searching Mr. Right"
