Reinvention of Chastity Read Online Free PDF

spa where she was treated to a deep tissue massage, a pedicure, manicure and makeover. The make-up artist taught her how to apply the make-up as artfully as she had. After the spa, the two women took a trip to the hairdresser where Chastity received a fresh relaxer and trim. Her hair had been styled into soft curls. The result with the hair, make-up and clothing was more than she expected. For the first time in her life, she felt beautiful.
    There was no feeling in the world like walking down the street and turning heads. It was truly an empowering experience and she loved it.
    Now remember, you have to be ice cold to Sebastian. Bring him to his knees, girlfriend . Dallas’s words drifted through her consciousness.
    Chastity glanced at her silver wristwatch, seeing that she needed to be in Sebastian’s office in five minutes.
    She silently congratulated herself once again on how she’d handled herself with him.
    “Aren’t you a cool one this morning, Miss Pig—I mean Chastity?”
    Pearl’s harsh voice sliced through her thoughts. The Miss Piggy comments were getting tiresome. Complaints to the office manager did no good, because Pearl would claim she’d been heard incorrectly, all while smiling sweetly.

    The Reinvention of Chastity
    It didn’t matter, because Chastity wasn’t going to allow the old bat get under her skin.
    When Chastity didn’t respond, Pearl continued to needle. “I see you’re ignoring me. Do you think you’re hot stuff now that you’ve finally done something with yourself?”
    “Not at all, Pearl. I have a lot on my mind right now, is all.”
    “Humph. I know what’s on your mind and just because you got yourself a makeover, it doesn’t mean the boss is finally going to notice you.”
    Last week this comment would have gotten under her skin, but Chastity simply smiled. That’s exactly what she was banking on, but she wanted Sebastian to do more than just notice her. Still, she didn’t respond to the annoying woman who seemed to grow more agitated with each passing second.
    “I was talking to you, missy,” Pearl hissed.
    On the verge of telling Pearl to shut the hell up, she bit her lip. No, she wouldn’t let this woman ruin her day. “I know you were, Pearl, but I’m not sure how I’m supposed to respond to that statement.”
    The other woman snorted. “Well, I hope you don’t start acting all high and mighty just because you look halfway decent now. You still need to lose weight,” she finished nastily.
    Chastity’s smile widened and she looked Pearl straight into her faded blue eyes. “I appreciate your concern, but I promise I won’t start acting that way, especially since you have the market cornered on high and mighty around here. Now that I’ve tried something new, why don’t you do something new as well, like minding your own business?”
    Pearl’s face turned beet red to the roots of her silver hair. “Well, I never! That’s what’s wrong with the world today. You young people don’t know the meaning of the word respect.”
    “You have to give respect to in order to get it. You’ve been nasty to me since I started working here and frankly, I’m tired of it. I’m not going to allow you to use your age as an excuse, so now if you’ll excuse me, I have a meeting with Mr. Rossi.” Chastity stood, pad and pen in hand, and turned her back on the gaping woman.
    Screw her.

    As Chastity walked away, she heard Pearl mutter under her breath.
    She didn’t care what the cantankerous woman was saying. That heffa could kiss her big black ass. As she passed the receptionist’s desk she gave a little wave.
    “Chastity, is that you?” Debbie’s large blue eyes widened.
    “Yes, what do you think?” She twirled around with a flourish.
    Debbie looked at her with faintly envious eyes. “You look fabulous. I knew you could be a stunner if you put your mind to it. I’ve been hearing about this new look around the office all morning. Whatever you did
