The day of the charity art event had finally arrived, and Claire couldn't contain her excitement.

Sandra, her assistant, had been keeping her updated, assuring her that everything was going smoothly, and people were already. starting to arrive.

Claire was still at her penthouse, going through the final touches before heading to the event. Her makeup and hair were expertly done, thanks to the makeup artist and hairstylist she had hired for the occasion.

Her dress, a stunning Sparkly Mermaid V Neck Dark Red Sequins Long gown, hung elegantly on a nearby hanger

"Everything seems perfect, Ms. Peterson." Sandra said over the phone. A smile appeared on Claire lips. "I'll be there soon."

After ending the call, Claire slipped into her dress, the sequins catching the light and adding an extra sparkle to her already radiant appearance. As she looked at herself in the mirror, a sense of confidence washed over her.

Her room buzzed with admiration as her team caught sight of her. "Wow, Ms. Peterson, you look stunning!" one of them exclaimed, echoing the sentiments of everyone present.

Claire chuckled modestly, "Just playing the part for the event," she replied, though inwardly, she was pleased with how she looked

With a final glance in the mirror, Claire headed downstairs to where Matthew was busy coordinating last-minute details on his phone

Matthew looked up, his eyes widening in admiration. "Wow, Claire, you look absolutely beautiful," he remarked, genuine admiration in his voice.

Claire smiled graciously. "Thank you, Matthew. You always know how to make a woman feel good," she teased lightly.

Despite being the CEO of a highly successful technology company, attending such high-profile events still had a way of making her slightly anxious. Matthew noticed her apprehension and leaned in reassuringly. "You've got this, Claire. You work hard for this event.

Claire shook her head in disagreement. "No, I did not work hard for this event. You and Sandra did all the work as well as the other people."
