Chapter 1094 A new haute couture from Valentino
Charlotte’s unexpected response left Congreve with no choice but to nod in agreement. Seeing Congreve finally relent, the headmaster let out a long sigh of relief.
The rest of the evening’s event was a great success, and Charlotte showed no signs of being affected by the dress incident.
She carried herself with grace and composure throughout, and the unsuspecting audience had no idea of what she had been through.
After the event, Charlotte returned to the backstage area feeling exhausted. As she entered the dressing room, she noticed a gift box placed on the makeup table.
Inside was a sparkling sky-blue sequined dress, shimmering under the lights. “This dress suits you perfectly,” Joe’s voice suddenly rang out, and Charlotte turned to see him standing at the door, smiling at her.
Charlotte immediately understood who the gift was from. “This dress is too precious, | can’t accept it,” she said.
With her keen fashion sense, Charlotte recognized the dress as a new haute couture from Valentino, likely priced at no less than a hundred thousand dollars.
Given her relationship with Joe, she didn’t think it appropriate to accept such an expensive gift.
Before Charlotte could offer the box back, Joe shook his head. “This dress was custom-made to fit your measurements. No one else can wear it. If you don’t want it, it will end up in the trash,” he explained.
“How did you know my measurements?” Charlotte became wary, thinking that Joe had bought the dress as a last-minute gesture, but it turned out he had prepared the gift in advance.
Seeing Charlotte’s nervous reaction, Joe found her adorable.
He coughed lightly and explained, “I had your tailor provide the measurements. It wasn’t difficult to obtain.”
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to accept the dress. After all, as Joe had said, if she didn’t wear it, the dress would end up in the trash.
After carefully putting away the gift box, Charlotte asked, “Is there anything you’d like as a return gift? | can give you something in return.”
Joe had never thought that his gift would lead to a return gift. After careful consideration, his gaze fell on his wrist, where something seemed to be missing...All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
“In that case, why don’t you give me a pair of cufflinks?” Joe boldly made his request.
Charlotte felt that it was somewhat inappropriate, as cufflinks were a very personal item. However, unable to think of anything else to give, she reluctantly agreed.
In the shadows, Wendy once again saw the two of them happily conversing, and her eyes filled with jealousy.
She couldn't understand why, despite being by Joe’s side for so long, he never noticed her, and instead developed feelings for someone who had suddenly appeared.
Wendy took a deep breath; this matter was far from over.
