Jennie blushed hard. She suddenly realized that coming here was a big mistake in her part. She did not know how to respond and could only stare blankly at the saleslady.

The saleslady felt like the lady customer was not well versed in this area and could only rely on those who were expert in this kind of thing. She immediately thought of gaining a huge profit from this transaction. Striking the iron while it was still hot [1], the saleslady immediately grabbed a bunch of condoms. Each and every one of it has different flavors, designs and brands.

"Ma'am, if you don't know which brand is the most suitable for you, trying different types might help you decide." Jennie was still silent as if her brain already crashed and currently under repair, making her dumb and slow. Assuming Jennie's silence as her 'go' signal, the saleslady went on and on, explaining the benefits of each varieties, pouring all her wisdom and trying to enlighten the silent customer. Jennie was not speaking because she was thinking thoroughly whether to buy condoms or not.

'Should I or should I not?' She was starting to regret coming here. She looked around her and saw that there were some people passing through the aisle, making her nervous.

'What if someone recognizes me? Worst, what if it's one of my employees?! Wouldn't my prestigious image be destroyed without a trial?!'

She anxiously stepped back and was preparing to go far, far away from this section when she heard the saleslady mentioned '100% foolproof' and 'avoiding pregnancy'.

Jennie immediately stopped stepping backwards and looked at the condoms on her hand, trying to analyze how long would these condoms last. 'Three days? One week?'

Remembering how lustful Lisa was, she suddenly felt like the condoms in her hands wouldn't last that long. 'No. I should buy a lot to prevent any unwanted pregnancy. It's better to be safe than sorry.'

"Give me a couple of boxes more." Jennie decided to bite the bullet [2] and prepare for the worst.

"Ah?" The saleslady went speechless, she looked at the condoms on Jennie's hands that were not less than thirty.

"Yes! Yes! Here you go ma'am!" Eyes forming into a dollar sign, the saleslady immediately grabbed a dozen more boxes and gave it to Jennie, but since her hands were already full, the smart saleslady grabbed a big basket and placed all of it inside. The saleslady ushered her towards the counter with care and left with a wide smile on her lips. Thinking about her recent sale, the saleslady felt like she was walking in the air.

The line was not long so it just took Jennie a couple of minutes before she reached the counter. When it was her turn, she placed all the boxes on the counter and pulled her wallet inside her bag to pay.

Seeing the enormous quantity of condoms forming a small mountain, the male cashier went into daze. He looked at Jennie and then at the boxes of condoms. He discreetly eyed Jennie's appearance, as if trying to confirm that the lady who dressed like Miss Minchin[3] was the one buying the mountain of condoms.

Jennie felt awkward inside due to the cashier's intense stare. She raised her eyebrow as if telling him, 'what?! Haven't seen someone buying condoms??'

Ashamed, the cashier lowered his eyes and started scanning the condoms as if he did not notice her irritated look. He couldn't help but say on his mind, 'Ayee.. Who would have thought.. You really can't judge the book by it's cover [4] Who would have thought...'

Looking at the sluggish movement of the cashier, Jennie was starting to get impatient. She wanted to leave already. She felt tired all of a sudden. Just few moments ago, everything was still under her control but ever since she met that shameless bastard, her control over her life suddenly slipped out of her hand.
