Chapter 23

Charlotte walked over to Jacob, who stood frozen, his eyes fixed on her, mesmerized by her beauty. When she reached him, she gently adjusted his tie and said with a teasing smile:

— You’re as elegant as always, but please stop staring at me like that. Don’t forget you’ll be by my side all night, and with that look, you might seem a little odd to the other guests.

Jacob, as if snapping out of a trance, smiled back and replied:

— They’ll just understand that I’m in the company of a goddess among mortals.

Charlotte burst out laughing, her crystal-clear laugh echoing in the room:

— Okay, stop, you’re going to make me blush. Let’s go now.

— "Alright," Jacob agreed, leading the way out, while Charlotte turned to exchange a few words with her sister before joining him.
