Chapter 42 Change Dancing Partners (1/2)

The party, which had been bustling just seconds ago, suddenly turned silent the moment Chester and Sherry showed up.

They made their way through the crowd with everyone's attention focused on them.

All of a sudden, people began to whisper, admiring the woman who was accompanying Chester.

She was wearing a simple white dress. Without even saying a word, she managed to easily draw everyone's attention toward her.

On the other side of the table, Jeremy was holding a glass of red wine. As he took a sip of it, his eyes lightly swept over Sherry.

For so long, he had known how beautiful she really was, but she had been hiding it the entire time. For that reason, he almost forgot that she was once the most brilliant among all of these women around him.

As he looked at them, Jeremy thought that Sherry should have been in his arms, not Chester's.

Moreover, what was she wearing? Her back was almost exposed. Was she aware that all of the men here were ogling her right now?

”It's that woman again!” Jessie exclaimed, gritting her teeth.

As she said those words, Jessie looked at Sherry in disgust and thought to herself, 'What the heck? Sherry has altered that red dress. I thought she would be making a fool of herself. Damn it!”

Just as Jeremy was about to walk up to Sherry, someone beside him called him, ”Jeremy.”

When he turned to check who it was, Jeremy saw that it was a business partner, someone older than him and a good friend of his father. Given that he couldn't just ignore him, all he could do was look at Sherry from a distance and he decided not to approach her.

Since earlier that morning, Steve had been waiting for Sherry and just passing time. Just when he thought that Sherry would break her promise and not show up, she suddenly appeared.

While Chester was busy greeting other people, Sherry was left standing under the light. Taking this opportunity, Steve went over and called out to her, ”Miss Xu.”

As soon as she heard his voice, Sherry instantly knew who it without having to look. So, she helplessly put on a smile and turned her head to look at Steve who was walking toward her. ”Mr. Song, happy birthday to you,”

Sherry greeted him, wearing a vibrant smile on her face. Although she felt rather uneasy when she was around him, she didn't really dislike him. At the very least, she felt like it was much easier to face him than to face her husband, Jeremy.

”Thank you. I haven't seen you in so long, so I was starting to think you wouldn't come. To be honest, I wasn't expecting you to show up again. I'm so glad that you made it,” Steve said with a smile.

Looking her up and down, he couldn't help but praise her sincerely, ”You look so stunning and so different right now. So much so that I almost didn't recognize you.”

To which, Sherry replied, ”Thank you.” In fact, she was used to receiving compliments like this before.
