Chapter 573 The Exact Same Dress At noon, precisely, Joe appeared at the entrance of Charlotte’s office. Charlotte was quite surprised. “Did Sandra let you go?” Seeing the playfulness in her eyes, Joe stepped forward and kissed her lips. “Are you happy to see me being bothered by someone?” Charlotte shook her head with a smile. “How could I dare? I’m just naturally curious.” After all, Sandra’s intentions were clear from the beginning; she was here for Charlotte. And just now, Sandra’s interest in Joe didn’t seem feigned in the office. There might be more opportunities for them to meet in the future. Joe sneered. “The people from the Faulkner Family sure are troublesome.” 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 Joe’s office. Naturally, they couldn’t 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. “Your intentions are a bit too obvious, aren’t they?” Joe glanced suggestively at her back, exposing a large, smooth skin expanse. He smirked. “There are always some people who are blind.”
Enter title… 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. “That’s just an exception,” 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, “Even exceptions should not be tolerated.” As they conversed, the car had already stopped at the entrance of the venue. Although the business association’s event didn’t 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 wouldn’t 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 everyone’s attention just by standing there. The host stood at the end of the red carpet, his face beaming with a bright smile. “Let’s welcome Miss
Clinton and Mr. Smith…” However, right at that moment, the host’s 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 Charlotte’s. Charlotte looked at her with amusement as Sandra exaggeratedly feigned surprise, her acting skills falling short. “What a coincidence, we actually managed to buy the same dress,” Sandra chuckled, covering her mouth. “It’s truly an honor to be able to wear the same outfit as you, Miss Clinton.” 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. “Is that so?” Charlotte looked at Sandra with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Certainly a coincidence.” It had to be said that Sandra indeed brought a different style to the dress.
