Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 131

131 Weird Lolita 

“Lady, I. Don’t. Give. A. F*ck. What. You. Look. Like. Provided you don’t inconvenience me or step in my space, you don’t go close to my family and you don’t have eyes for my man, I won’t care about you. And I hope you don’t care about me either. If possible, I would appreciate it if you don’t appear before me. People like you who make everything about themselves are toxic and the last thing I want in my life is toxicity. Peace off!” 

The class was quiet before now, but even the invisible soundwaves couldn’t help but give a moment of silence after Jeslyn finished. 

Rubenstein had his mouth agape for a while before his lips stretched into a foolish grin. 

Lola was surprised for a moment before she burst into a puddle of laughter. It was Jeslyn’s turn to be surprised. She clapped thrice before smiling. “I like that. I like your courage and the way you switched in seconds. You seem not to be the scared one even though you aren’t from Country Y. I’m impressed. Let me introduce myself again.” 

“I’m Lolita Yan from Country Y. The last daughter of the first branch of the Yan family. Celestine is my role model and I’ve wanted to be like her for years but my family wouldn’t allow it, so I chose this route… ” she eyed her body to indicate she meant her appearance. “… With this and the fact that I became stubborn, my family thought I was defiant… Yes, at a point I was and I still am. Recently, I almost killed a girl who spoke Ill of Celestine, so my parents allowed me to do what I wanted hoping I’ll be ‘normal‘ again and here I am. But don’t worry, I’m a good bully.” She smiled and stretched out her hand. 

“You only sound like a psychopath. Anyway, nice to meet you.” Jeslyn shook her hand, making Lolita. chuckle. 

“Actually, I like people who can say things to my face but because of my appearance, people tend to be scared of me and would rather gossip than talk to me directly. It’s so sick and I hate gossip. That’s one of the reasons I go mad. Secondly, like you stated, being possessive of your man… Me too. I have a crush and I’m possessive of him.” Lolita chuckled. 

Jeslyn froze when she heard that. Did she? Did she say that just now? How could she have said. something so bizarre?! What stupid thing stung her brain to make her say such words?? She doesn’t even love Maverick ah! 

“Hey, you look lost.” Lolita shook Jeslyn to pull her back from her reverie. 

“Good for you. But you shouldn’t be possessive over someone who doesn’t like you.” Jeslyn said before- she sat down. 

Lolita sat beside her with a smile. “Rose, can we really be friends?” 

Jeslyn’s lips twitched when she saw her looking like a fan girl. What’s wrong with this one? “You look creepy.” She stated and continued typing on her laptop. 

Lolita pouted sadly and turned to look at Rubenstein. “Hey, nerd, am I creepy?” 

Rubenstein adjusted his glasses fearfully and stuttered, “I- I’m not a nerd.” 

“If I say you are, you are,” Lolita said with a frown.

“He isn’t. He has a name.” Jeslyn intervened. 

“Right. What’s your name?” Lolita changed 180 degree from a bully to a bunny. Making Jeslyn look at her weirdly. 

A while later, Celestine and her Assistant walked into the classroom and they all introduced 

themselves. 

“If after testing your foundation and it seems sound, then your tutorial shall come to an end before one year. I would like to warn you all. If you know that you can’t persevere till the end, it will do you good to quit now. I won’t have you disrupt my plans and hard work. If such a thing were to happen, you will be breaching the contracts and will pay duly for it.” 

The Assistant stepped forward in her heels and gave out the contracts. 

“I’m not urging you to read that now. Take them to your hostels and read them. Submit them after three days.” Celestine’s eyes moved over the students and they stopped on Lolita. “Young lady, although I’m not objective to this way of dressing as you might need it for your type of music in the future, as of now, you don’t need it… in fact, that gives me an idea to get you uniforms. I don’t want you coming in here with different attires that would sully my eyes.””
