In the evening, Scarlett looked at herself in the mirror and asked, "Is this the surprise you talked about earlier?"
At this time, Alexis walked out wearing a long dress of the same style as Scarlett's but in a different color. "We were wearing bestie dresses. Isn't it a surprise?"
Scarlett glanced at Alexis and clicked her tongue lightly. "Indeed. One black and the other white."
"Let's go! We were in Acatoca, a famous gambling city. We surely need to dress up here!"
Scarlett had no problem with that, but she asked, "Does Justin know you wear this dress?"
Alexis was lost for words.
She thought Scarlett should keep her mouth shut...
Alexis liked the dress when watching a fashion show last month. She directly asked Rylie to order a black one and a white one.
Inset with shiny diamonds, the two dresses were long and slimming and of the same style. They were off-shoulder dresses with crossover collars and high slits. Scarlett and Alexis looked curvaceous but not scantily-clad in the dresses when they were standing.
But once they walked, the high slits would instantly reveal their long legs.
Alexis was too shy to wear this dress alone. When Alexis saw two models wearing the dresses at the show, she instantly pictured herself and Scarlett wearing the dresses.
There were too many domestic paparazzi. Although she liked the dress, Alexis did not dare to wear it lest she be photographed and on the trending topic.
But things were different abroad. Besides, people from diverse cultures came to Acatoca. Alexis believed that she and Scarlett would attract too much attention if they dressed up here.
This was definitely the perfect opportunity to wear the two dresses in public. She had already bought them. Did she have to keep them in the closet forever?
Of course not!
Alexis pulled the hem of her dress and raised her eyebrows proudly. "They were bestie dresses. I'm not the only one wearing the dress!"
Scarlett couldn't help but click her tongue." So you use me as a shield?"
"Of course not! I just think this dress suits you! Look at you, Lettie. You look so graceful in this dress!"
Scarlett looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. "Am I not graceful normally?"
Alexis was a bit speechless for a moment." Well... not really. You are graceful but not seductive enough."
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"It must be Justin. I'm going to open the door!"
Alexis said and rushed away.
"Yes, of course! Go!"
Scarlett had been fully occupied with work in the past half year. Alexis finally had a chance to take her out to have fun, so Alexis naturally would not let her go back so easily.
After Raymond's disappearance, Scarlett seemed to be fine. But she was either on a business trip or on the way to a business trip in the past six months.
Scarlett had used to spend little effort in managing Teuton and Mornet Corporation. But now, she was doing everything herself.
Alexis thought she was so busy that she had too many events to attend. However, every time she wanted to meet Scarlett, Scarlett was always in a meeting or busy with something.
Nobody would believe that she and Scarlett had not seen each other for nearly four months.
If Scarlett hadn't come over to negotiate over a new project this time, they probably could not have met in the first half of this year.
Alexis naturally knew why Scarlett was so busy.
Scarlett had kept herself occupied in order not to think about Raymond, whose whereabouts were still unknown in the past half a year.
Alexis was afraid Scarlett would say no the next second, so she hurriedly dragged Scarlett out.
Scarlett glanced at Justin and smiled helplessly. "Justin, please hold your wife's hand."
