Mr. CEO's Young Mistress novel Chapter 40

Sharon was bewildered. "Does Melanie plan to buy one for me as well?" Sharon wondered.

Melanie grabbed the dresses and headed for the changing room, while Sharon remained firmly rooted to the ground. 

Melanie turned to say something to Sharon. Only then did she realize Sharon had not followed her. 

She looked into Sharon's hesitant eyes and instantly understood. 

She pursed her lips and walked back to Sharon. She stared at her with tender eyes and whispered, "It'll be your birthday soon, and I've never gotten you a gift before. How can I do that again this year?"

...

Sharon reached out and took Melanie's hand. "You really don't need to, you know?"

Melanie gave a small smile, her eyes twinkling. "A stingy person like me is finally willing to buy you something, so you'd better not refuse. Now, let's try them on."

"Melanie..."

Sharon still wanted to say something, but Melanie dragged her in to the changing room before she had a chance. 

......

Both of them stared at each other awkwardly in the changing room. 

...

They had been friends for over a decade, but had never changed clothes in front of one another before. 

"Shall I go to the next room?" Sharon suggested quietly.

"No," Melanie replied.

Erm...

Sharon pressed her lips together and looked at Melanie. "Why don't you go first?"

Melanie rolled her eyes and peered at Sharon. "We'll do it together."

Sharon bit her lip. After a moment, she nodded in agreement.

After all, it'd still be strange to watch each other take turns to take off their clothes. 

Although they had come to an agreement, they were still hesitant and were regretting their choice of entering the same changing room. 

They secretly stole glances at each other's bodies and whistled to themselves. When Melanie caught Sharon peeking again, she raised an eyebrow and smirked.

...

Sharon huffed to herself, indignant, "She started it!"

......

Finally done changing, the two girls emerged and stood in front of the mirror. One glance and Melanie made up her mind to buy them. 

Sharon and Melanie had similar figures, so the sizes of their clothes were almost identical. Both of them were about 165cm tall and weighed roughly 45kg. 

One might even think they were twins just by looking at their backs. 

"Wow! The dresses seem to be made for the two of you!" The store assistant praised sincerely, not at all like she was sweet-talking them. 

...

Melanie looked at Sharon in the mirror. "I think it looks great, too. "

Sharon agreed with Melanie.

Melanie turned to the lady and stated, "We'll take these two."

"Very well." The lady beamed. "I'll bring you new ones."

Melanie nodded.

Sharon and Melanie returned to the changing room to change back into their regular clothes. When they came out, they heard a sweet voice coming from somewhere in the store. "Simon, what do you think? Do you think I'll look good in this dress?"  

...

Her flirtatious tone drew Sharon and Melanie's attention, and they stilled at what they saw. 

Simon, dressed casually, held a handbag in his hands as he stood beside a beautiful young lady. His eyes were gentle as he looked at her tenderly. "You're gorgeous no matter what you wear." 

...

Melanie shuddered, disgusted. 

Sharon raised an eyebrow and glanced at the dress the girl was holding. "Isn't that the dress we just tried on?" Sharon wondered. 

"Why, you flatter me." The girl ogled Simon coquettishly. "I don't have such a splendid figure."

Simon smiled widely. "But I'm serious."

She stared at him for a moment before realizing that he might be sincere. Immediately, her cheeks blushed red, and she smiled shyly. 

"I'll go try it on," she said bashfully. 

"Alright." Simon turned his head to call for the store assistant.

Unexpectedly, he saw Sharon and Melanie standing not far off, watching them. 

Simon paused, his eyes widening in delight as he headed towards them. 

Walking up to Sharon, he looked at her with bright eyes, not bothering to hide his joy. "Hey, Sharon. What a coincidence, eh? Are you here to buy clothes as well?"

Sharon nodded. "Mm-hmm."
