Chapter 40 Punish Her (Part One)

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 f

tried to mask it.

"You!" Jessie was completely speechless after hearing Sherry's words. She couldn't give a proper response because it was true that Jeremy was avoiding making their relationship public. She knew it was all just wishful thinking.

Jeremy never called Jessie endearing names, and even if he would buy her everything she wanted, it was clear that he didn't love her back.

She began to doubt Jeremy's intentions.

"I'm going ahead to try on my dress. If you have any questions, we can talk about it later." Sherry didn't have the energy to get into an argument with her. Besides, she was technically Jeremy's wife.

Their marriage certificates were still kept in the cabinet.

Sherry chose a bright red and sparkling dress. The dress was long and narrow and clung to her body beautifully, flaunting her slender legs. It accentuated her tiny waist even more and made her figure all the more attractive.

She had never worn such a bold dress before, but was very pleased with the outcome. She felt like a brand new woman.

It had been a while since she'd experimented on her looks. Since she married Jeremy, she felt like she had to hide her true character and style as she wanted to act like the woman he wanted her to be.

Her long hair fell over her shoulders and curled back. She thought that she would look even more beautiful if she applied a little more makeup.
