Chapter 1007: Chapter 1007: Melissa Tanner’s Fashion Show
Hearing Charlotte’s words, Justin Battleson realized that he had the scent of Florienna Ellis’s perfume on him.
He immediately got up and walked toward the shower.
Not long after, Michael Richard delivered the clothes prepared for Justin Battleson.
Charlotte was sitting on the sofa, and when she saw Michael Richard enter, she pointed toward the lounge, indicating that he should bring the clothes there.
Michael Richard nodded and headed to the lounge, while Justin had just finished freshening up; he had thought that Charlotte was the one bringing the clothes, but when he looked up, he saw Michael Richard.
Justin’s face immediately fell.
Now, every time he saw Michael Richard, he felt annoyed.
Nevertheless, after Michael Richard delivered the clothes, Justin quickly dressed and walked out of the lounge.
Charlotte was looking at the documents in her hands when Justin stepped forward and knelt in front of her.
"Charlotte," Justin said softly.
Upon hearing his voice, Charlotte looked up, and Justin took the opportunity to lean in and unexpectedly kissed her lips.
She instinctively tried to push Justin away, but her wrist was caught in his palm.
The kiss seemed to carry a hint of moisture.
Eventually, Charlotte chose not to resist and gradually succumbed to Justin’s actions.
But when Justin’s hand slid to Charlotte’s waist, he stopped, making no further move.
Justin’s fingertips pressed against Charlotte’s lips, rubbing gently, as if cherishing something priceless.
Charlotte’s clear eyes met Justin’s careful expression, and finally, she pulled his hand to her cheek and gently exhaled a sigh.
While the two were looking at each other in silence, the phone lying beside them lit up.
Charlotte’s gaze was drawn to it, and she saw that it was a call from Zara Ward.
She immediately answered the call, and Zara Ward’s anxious voice came through.
"Miss Thompson, the fashion show is about to start. Are you still coming?"
Zara’s voice carried a tone of urgency; she and Charlotte had previously agreed that Charlotte would arrive an hour before the show.
Now, with less than half an hour remaining until the fashion show and Charlotte still not present,
Zara had called Charlotte multiple times without response, which had her heart sinking in dismay.
She even suspected that Charlotte had been playing her all along.
Zara’s words made Charlotte’s pupils contract, and she abruptly stood up from the sofa.
That’s when Charlotte remembered why she had circled today on her calendar.
Today was Melissa Tanner’s fashion show.
Charlotte frowned slightly in annoyance.
How could she have forgotten such an important event?
"I’m so sorry, Miss Ward. I’ll be there right away," Charlotte said, her tone full of apologies.
"So, Miss Thompson, you’re still coming, right?" Zara asked tentatively.
Naturally, Charlotte picked up on the careful tone in Zara’s voice, which made her feel even more guilty.
As she gathered her things, she responded to Zara,
"Miss Ward, I’m truly sorry. Don’t worry, I’ll be there shortly."
Saying this, Charlotte was about to leave the office when Justin spoke up, offering to escort her.
However, Charlotte shook her head: "You better handle the situation with Florienna Ellis first."
Justin’s brow furrowed, but before he could say anything, Charlotte hurriedly left.
Outside the office, Coco was waiting there; seeing Coco, Charlotte quickly took her hand.
"Come on, we need to go. Zara’s fashion show is about to start."
