How My Ex Became My Next

At the center of the commercial street, there was a five–story independent building covered with glass.

Today Megan was going to reopen the multi–brand boutique.

She finally picked up her graduation project again after putting it on hold for three years.

The interior was uniquely decorated, brightly lit, and filled with carefully selected luxury clothing and jewelry. Its simple glass appearance showed everyone who passes by its unique taste.

Their unique design and ingenious match made them famous overnight among the noblewomen in Allath at that time, and many young girls also paid attention to them.

Before it was officially opened, there were already a bunch of people queuing at the door. They were all

ladies from wealthy families, waiting in line according to the reservation numbers.

Megan also called Gilda out of the company to help the guests to match.

The two of them had been really busy all morning. There were fewer people at noon, and Gilda and Megan collapsed aside tiredly.

Megan held Gilda’s arm and said, “Gilda, it feels like the old days, doesn’t it?”

“Yeah. It has brought me back to three years ago.” Gilda smiled and stroked Megan’s face. I’m glad that I still have you, Megan.”

“Me too,” replied Megan.

Megan went upstairs to check the situation alone and let Gilda have a rest.

Gilda sat on the sofa and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Sherry and Madeleine..

Sherry was wearing an out–of–season luxury dress. She kept taking selfies in the store with her camera. Then she photoshopped nine photos and posted them along with some words: [Having a great time shopping in this top multi–brand boutique…]

After posting the photos on social media, Sherry grabbed Madeleine to walk around, looking extremely excited.

Sherry picked a luxury new dress worth 360 thousand dollars and looked at Madeleine longingly. “Madeleine, do I look good in this dress?”

Sherry was obviously implying since Madeleine was her future sister–in–law and a rich lady, Madeleine should buy one for her.

Madeleine understood what Sherry meant, but she was really short of money these days. She spent 6 million dollars on buying bracelets last time, and now she was having a hard time.

She wasn’t capable of acting generously in front of Sherry. So Madeleine could only pretend that she

didn’t understand what Sherry meant and went to look at other things.

Sherry felt disappointed and complained in her mind. If it weren’t for that I don’t have enough pocket money. I wouldn’t have begged her.

As soon as Sherry turned around, she saw Gilda sitting alone. She quickly pulled Madeleine’s arm and then they walked toward Gilda.

“Wow, look who it is. Since when is a deserted wife also qualified to shop here?” Sherry curled her lips and looked around. Looks like this shop isn’t that upscale.

Gilda was a little tired. She didn’t want to argue with these two annoying and pretentious women, so she directly said. “You can get out of here, then.”

Sherry couldn’t stand it. She put her hands on her waist and shouted rudely. “Who gives you the right to drive me away? I’m a customer here!”

Sherry pointed to the staff beside her and said, “Call your manager here! I’m gonna complain that you deliberately lowered the customer’s level and affected my consumption!”

Gilda folded her arms, fixed the hair on her forehead, and snorted. “I am.”

Sherry was so surprised that she asked in disbelief, “You? You’re the manager of this store?

“That’s not funny. You can’t fool me. Sherry didn’t believe it.

Gilda sneered, “You don’t deserve to be fooled.”

Sherry was just a poser. After being mocked by Gilda, she didn’t know what to say at all.

With a gentle smile, Madeleine stepped forward and said, “Ms. Lynch, since you’re the manager of this store, you must be good at matching clothes. Could you help me to match a bright set? I will wear it when I get the marriage certificate a few days later.”

Madeleine thought, ‘She made me lose 6 million dollars last time. I should feel better after letting her

serve me once.

Gilda sat still on the sofa with a mocking smile, looking indifferent.

“What? As a store manager, don’t you even receive your customers?” Madeleifte provoked Gilda.

“I can receive you.” Gilda got up from the sofa, but she just stood there without moving. “But… I don’t seem to have either of you on the list of reservations today.”

Madeleine and Sherry flushed at once as if their lies had been exposed in public.

They were not included indeed. They bought the reservation at a high price from others just to join in the fun today.
