Chapter 393 A Masked Dance Charlotte carefully recalled that she had been busy since she returned to the country. It seemed that she had not had such a relaxed rest for a long time. Anyway, there was no big problem in the country now, and the Holiday Resort had returned to normal. She seemed to be bold enough to take a vacation. Charlotte really did what she said she would do. She left her work behind and spent a few days in S country happily. In the blink of an eye, the day of the auction arrived. The auction this time was very interesting. With the masked ball as the theme, everyone who participated in the auction had to wear a gorgeous mask to hide their identity. Charlotte felt that it was very novel, so she deliberately wore a pure black fishtail skirt with a neckline. There was a hint of
mystery in her charm, and her graceful figure was undoubtedly prominent. In order to match the skirt, she specially picked out a metal mask full of black lace. They unexpectedly matched each other. When Joe and Sharon saw her outfit, their eyes flashed with amazement. Both of them stretched out their arms in front of Charlotte at the same time and looked at each other with hostility. Joe straightened his body slightly and stared at Sharon with his dark eyes. A terrifying pressure suddenly attacked him. However, Sharon wasn’t scared. Faced with Joe’s imposing manner, he wasn’t intimidated at all. He merely glanced around and said, “Miss Charlotte and I attended the party together. Mr. Smith, you’re late.”
“When it comes to time, you’re the one who loses.” Joe laughed coldly as his aura grew even stronger. Enter title… Looking at the two people who were tit for tat, Charlotte suddenly had an idea. She pulled their arms tightly together and said with a fake smile, “That’s just right. I’d better enjoy myself alone.” After that, she ignored them and left. Joe and Sharon quickly withdrew their hands, glanced at each other with disgust, and tacitly distanced themselves from each other. In the end, Charlotte still became Joe’s female companion. Because the name of Joe was written on the invitation, Charlotte was invited as his female companion. Sharon and Jack could only be regarded as staff members. Sharon was speechless. S country’s auction could almost be considered a national one. There were nearly a hundred auction items, and each of them was worth a lot. The starting price of the island was only average compared to the whole auction. The magnificent hall was already full of guests, and every guest was an elite among elites. Charlotte could see many bosses in the top 100 of the world, and even the prince of a certain country. Just as she was observing the participants, a familiar figure entered her sight. “Derek?” Charlotte looked at him in surprise as he walked through the crowd and held a young woman’s hand. They should be a couple, and they looked very sweet. The reason why she could recognize him was that his female companion had just taken off his mask when she was teasing him. That was why she had seen him.
Joe followed her gaze and said, “This auction involves a wide range of people, so it’s normal for him to come.” Charlotte nodded and quickly looked away. Derek usually kept a low profile in the Clinton Family, and she rarely saw him. As long as she did not take off her mask, he should not recognize her. If he recognized her… it would not be a big deal.
