Chapter 718 An Inexplicable Lipstick Mark
The expression on Charlotte’s face stiffened, and in her heart, she silently
scolded Damon for being unreliable.
“Well…”
Thinking about the programs Hilary had arranged, Charlotte inexplicably felt a
bit uneasy.
But before she could speak, Joe took the initiative, “Actually, it’s not a bad idea.”
Charlotte looked at him in surprise, thinking she must have misheard. Was this a
statement from someone who used to get jealous?
Enter title…
Seeing her expression, Joe smiled playfully, “What? Don’t believe I’d agree?”
Charlotte hooked her finger and tugged at his tie, closing the distance between
them, “What do you think? Who was sulking all day last time because of
jealousy?”
Joe lightly kissed Charlotte’s red lips and replied, “I did mind, but that’s not a

Charlotte didn’t expect him to become so generous suddenly. She was about to
compliment him when Joe continued, “Besides, except for that day, you won’t
have a chance to look at other men in the future.”
Charlotte finally understood; it was meant to bid farewell to her encounters with
other men.
The previously tense atmosphere between them lightened with a few playful
remarks.
Joe also knew why Charlotte was doing this. He looked into her eyes seriously
and said, “Nothing is more important than you. You must protect yourself.”
Charlotte nodded earnestly, “Don’t worry, I will.”
The next few days were calm, and Charlotte gradually let her guard down.
One day, after a meeting, she returned to her office. Just as she was about to
take a sip of her coffee, she sensed something was amiss.
She lowered her gaze to her coffee cup and furrowed her brow tightly.
There was a faint lipstick mark on the rim of her coffee cup.
Charlotte was certain that her lipstick was not this shade, and she had never
accidentally left a mark on the cup before.
She put down the coffee cup and carefully surveyed the room. It was evident
that someone had tampered with the things on her desk.
One of her frequently used pens was also missing.
Charlotte quickly called for Mandy and Frank.
Hearing Charlotte’s unusual tone, both Mandy and Frank thought something
significant had occurred. However, when they rushed into the office, they found
no abnormalities.
Charlotte pointed at the cup on the table. “There’s an inexplicable lipstick mark
on my cup, and my pen is missing.”
Both of them immediately became serious.
“I’ll go check the surveillance footage now,” said Frank quickly, and he hurriedly
left.
Meanwhile, Mandy stayed behind, furrowing her brows as she carefully
examined every corner of the room. She breathed a sigh of relief only after

“What kind of weirdo is this person? To have such a hobby…” Mandy stared at
the coffee cup in disbelief.
If it were a man, one could assume some perverted intentions, but this person
was a woman. Could it be that she was also hopelessly in love with Charlotte?
Before long, Frank returned with Sharon.
“Just happened to bump into him on the way. I heard you encountered another
weirdo.” Sharon quickly glanced at the coffee cup on the table, his brows
furrowing in disgust.
Charlotte looked at Frank, and Frank showed her a segment of surveillance
footage. “This is everyone who entered and exited your office after you left for
the meeting.”
The group quickly reviewed the surveillance footage, and Mandy didn’t take long
to call a halt. “Look here!”
In the video, a slim girl entered with a stack of documents, but when she left, the
documents were nowhere to be seen. Her expression appeared somewhat
peculiar, a mix of satisfaction and mild panic.
