Chapter 573 The Exact Same Dress
At noon, precisely, Joe appeared at the entrance of Charlotteâs office.
Charlotte was quite surprised. âDid Sandra let you go?â
Seeing the playfulness in her eyes, Joe stepped forward and kissed her lips. âAre you happy to see me being bothered by
someone?â
Charlotte shook her head with a smile. âHow could I dare? Iâm just naturally curious.â
After all, Sandraâs intentions were clear from the beginning; she was here for Charlotte. And just now, Sandraâs interest in
Joe didnât seem feigned in the office. There might be more opportunities for them to meet in the future.
Joe sneered. âThe people from the Faulkner Family sure are troublesome.â
Sandra appeared before Charlotte without any reservations. It was impossible for the Faulkner Family not to be aware.
This meant that more members of the Faulkner Family secretly supported her from behind.
The two exchanged a knowing glance and could only resort to evasive tactics when faced with adversity.
In just a few days, it would be the 30th-anniversary celebration of the Chamber of Commerce. The current chairman personally delivered the invitation to Charlotte and Joeâs office. Naturally, they couldnât refuse.
Before setting off, Joe saw that Charlotte was wearing a deep blue velvet backless gown. He had deliberately chosen a matching velvet suit of the same color to pair up with her.
Charlotte looked at Joe helplessly. âYour intentions are a bit too obvious, arenât they?â
Joe glanced suggestively at her back, exposing a large, smooth skin expanse. He smirked. âThere are always some
people who are blind.â
Enter titleâ¦
Even though they had attended numerous events together, there were still those who chose to selectively overlook it and
continued giving hints to Charlotte.
Not long ago, even a recently graduated male student had been seen by Joe trying to flirt with Charlotte, attempting to get
her contact information.
âThatâs just an exception,â Charlotte said helplessly.
Speaking of which, that male student had a stroke of bad luck. He happened to run into Joe at the wrong time and was so
frightened by the encounter that his face turned pale.
Joe sneered, âEven exceptions should not be tolerated.â
As they conversed, the car had already stopped at the entrance of the venue.
Although the business associationâs event didnât have fans cheering wildly on both sides like for celebrities, it still had
reporters, hosts, and a red carpet arranged.
When Charlotte appeared with Joe, the camera flashes on the scene were as bright as day.
Who wouldnât know that Charlotte had just managed to turn the tide in the plagiarism controversy?
Rumor had it that the
blogger who had accused her online not only got taken to court but also had to compensate Charlotte for a significant
loss, effectively ruining their own life.
The existing popularity was something no one could possibly refuse.
Not to mention, the appearance of both Charlotte and Joe was an extremely well-matched pair, enough to captivate
everyoneâs attention just by standing there.
The host stood at the end of the red carpet, his face beaming with a bright smile. âLetâs welcome Miss Clinton and Mr.
Smithâ¦â
However, right at that moment, the hostâs smile suddenly froze on his face.
Charlotte raised an eyebrow, following the gazes of the crowd.
Just behind them, not far away, Sandra appeared in a dress identical to Charlotteâs.
Charlotte looked at her with amusement as Sandra exaggeratedly feigned surprise, her acting skills falling short.
âWhat a coincidence, we actually managed to buy the same dress,â Sandra chuckled, covering her mouth. âItâs truly an
honor to be able to wear the same outfit as you, Miss Clinton.â
When Charlotte bought the dress initially, the designer informed her that only two pieces of that gown were made in the
world. She never expected Sandra to have the ability to acquire it.
âIs that so?â Charlotte looked at Sandra with a smile that didnât quite reach her eyes. âCertainly a coincidence.â
It had to be said that Sandra indeed brought a different style to the dress.
