Chapter 40: Sharon, You Pervert
Chapter 40: Sharon, You Pervert
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."
Simon wore a silly grin on his face as he stared at Sharon unblinkingly, transfixed.
Sharon shifted uncomfortably and reach out to grab Melanie's arm. "Weren't we going to pay? Let's
go."
Melanie immediately understood and nodded. "Alright."
Sharon gave Simon a polite nod and said, "We'll be leaving first. You two have fun."
Sharon tugged at Melanie and tried to leave.
"Sharon," Simon called out frantically.
Sharon stopped in her tracks and looked at him questioningly. "Yes?"
Simon clenched his fist nervously and stared at her. "It's almost noon, so why don't we have lunch
together?"
"No t—"
"Simon, who are they?"
The beautiful girl had walked over to stand beside him. She looked at Sharon and Melanie curiously.
Simon paused and realised that he had forgotten to introduce them. "This is Sharon Andre, and this is
Melanie Faure. They're my friends."
Simon turned to Sharon and slowly said, "This is my cousin, Alexandrina. My actual cousin."
All the ladies just watched him in an awkward silence.
...
...
They were thinking the same thing. "Why did he need to emphasize that?"
Alexandrina wetted her lips and glanced at Simon's tense face before turning to Sharon. Something
flashed in her eyes as she greeted softly. "Nice to meet you."
Sharon nodded. "Nice to meet you too."
Alexandrina gave a small smile and invited them. "Since we've met, why don't we have a meal
together?"
Simon immediately turned to look at Sharon expectantly.
"Well, Melanie and I were planning on shopping some more..." Sharon hesitated.
"It's alright, I can wait." Simon said.
Sharon bit her tongue and said nothing.
A small furrow appeared in Alexandrina's brows for a split second and disappeared. She turned to
Sharon with a smile. "We were planning the same thing. Why don't we just go together?"
The corner of Sharon's eye twitched as she looked at Melanie.
Melanie only shrugged lightly in response.
Sharon sighed silently and nodded. "Alright then."
Simon's tense face instantly relaxed and happiness coloured his face as he stared at Sharon.
Alexandrina dropped her eyes when she saw Simon's expression out of the corner of her eye.
......
Sharon reluctantly walked around with Simon and Alexandrina for some time before heading for lunch
at a restaurant on the fourth floor.
In the Italian Restaurant.
Sharon and Melanie sat on one side of the table while Simon and Alexandrina sat across from them.
Coincidentally, Simon sat opposite to Sharon.
"Simon, I know you don't like heavy food, so how about ordering a spaghetti?" Alexandrina asked
softly, looking at Simon. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Simon nodded offhandedly, his eyes fixed on Sharon as he said, "You can order whatever you like."
Alexandrina's eyes lowered, then she smiled at Sharon and said, "Sharon, you can relax since we're all
about the same age. Order whatever you want, it's my treat."
"Alexandrina, how can a man let a girl take care of the bill?" Simon pressed his lips together.
"What man? To me, you're still the same brat who followed me around when we were young."
Alexandrina smiled, her eyes full of love, as she looked at Simon.
Simon's ears turned red, and he pleaded nervously. "Alexandrina, that's was in the past, you don't need
to bring it up."
Simon kept looking in Sharon's direction as he spoke.
He feared Sharon would think that he was immature.
However, Sharon's face was impassive as she read the menu. It was as if she hadn't heard a single
word Alexandrina just said.
Simon frowned, looking slightly disappointed.
Alexandrina caught sight of his expression. Her jaw tightened as she looked at the menu.
Melanie lived up to her name as a glutton as she kept her eyes fixed on the menu.
She had not heard a single word of Alexandrina and Simon's conversation.
Melanie refrained herself from ordering too many dishes since it was a treat from someone else.
Instead, she limited herself to the two dishes she wanted the most.
Once she was done, she turned to Sharon, who had not ordered a single dish. "Don't you like shrimp?
Why don't you order a spicy shrimp aglio e olio?"
"So she likes shrimp..." Simon narrowed his eyes and noted it down silently.
...
Before Sharon could answer, her cell phone in her handbag rang.
She reached behind her to grab the bag. Placing it on her lap, she opened it and took out her phone.
