Man, what's wrong with you? novel Chapter 40

During lunch break the next day, Sherry decided to go to a clothing store.

Even though she had an abundance of clothes in her wardrobe, she was tired of wearing the same conservative clothes and wanted a change of style.

Sherry wanted a completely new make-over as she didn't want to live her life for Jeremy anymore. Besides, now that her work life back on track, a few more changes in her personal taste could help bring about a completely new outlook on life.

She picked out a bold, red dress from the rack in the clothing store and stared at it pensively for a few moments. Just as she was about to go and try it on, she saw a figure in the reflection of the mirror coming out of the fitting room.

She found this person to be vaguely familiar as she contemplated for a while and looked at the person again. The moment the person turned around, Sherry gasped and thought what a remarkable coincidence it was to run into Jessie there.

What a small world!

The shop assistant gently called her from behind to ask, "Miss, would you like to try this on?" Sherry kept silent and the shop assistant began to wonder if there was something wrong with her.

Jessie turned around to look at the shop assistant when she heard her voice. She glanced at the woman standing next to her and found Sherry staring at her with a surprised expression.

"Sherry! It's you!" Jessie's sharp voice instantly struck a chord and Sherry felt like she was about to get a headache.

The old Sherry would have pretended not to see Jessie and would have completely ignored her. But since she was turning over a new leaf, she decided to be brave this time. She walked towards Jessie and said, "What a coincidence!"

As she walked towards Sherry in her 4-inch stiletto heels, Jessie swung her hips vivaciously, calling attention to her slender waist. She glanced at the dress the shop assistant was holding beside her and asked, "Are you here to pick a dress too?"

"Yes, I am." Sherry glanced at Jessie from head to toe and observed her physique. Jessie was not very tall, but she had a slim, lithe figure and always applied her makeup in a pretty, flirtatious way. As such, it never came as a surprise to anyone whenever she caught men's hearts and attention.

"Are you attending Mr. Song's birthday party this year? Will you be bringing a date?" Jessie asked pryingly.

'Jessie is still bragging like she always does!' Sherry thought. She raised her chin defiantly as she looked down on Jessie and said, "I'll be going alone. Who needs a date?"

Jessie covered her mouth with her hand and pretended to act surprised. "Oh, really? By the way, Jeremy invited me to be his date for the party."

Sherry was right. As it turned out, Jessie was just playing nice so she could brag about having Jeremy as her date. Fortunately, Sherry was skilled with coping under pressure and proceeded to challenge her instead. She kept a faint smile on her lips and said, "I hope you find a nice dress, then. You should be the most beautiful woman in Steve's birthday party so that you don't embarrass Jeremy."

As these words left her lips, Sherry felt a bitter taste in her mouth as if she had just eaten a bitter melon.

"Well, you're the embarrassing one in Jeremy's eyes," Jessie said with disdain written all over her face.

"Really? Maybe Jeremy hadn't told you, but yesterday, he was insisting that I be his date for the party. I repeatedly refused," said Sherry in a plain tone.

After she heard what Sherry had said, Jessie immediately looked at her with confusion. "I don't believe you," she said.
