Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 240

240 Troublesome Jeslyn 

“What’s going on? we’ve been here for ages, why don’t they want to come out of the studio?” Lolita asked with a frown. 1) 

“I think they have a lot going on in there. We should give them more time.” Ruben stated. 

“Only you would say that. I have other places to be and I’m sure Jeslyn does too.” Lolita eyed him disdainfully. 

After Jeslyn told Lolita everything, Lolita felt bad for her and instead of judging her, she accepted. Jeslyn the way she was. 

“If they don’t want to give up on this studio, how about going to look for another?” Jeslyn thought out loud. 

“Your Manager specifically ordered you to use this and wait until those people leave. Right?” Ruben asked the obvious. 

“Then why is your Manager not here to put things in order? Isn’t it obvious that we are getting bullied. even before we are something in the company?” Lolita questioned in annoyance, 

“Chill out sweetheart, let me go in and see what’s going on.” Jeslyn got up and left the lounge. Spying at the people in the studio from the glass door, she saw the ladies were just sitting there and doing NOTHING! 

Enraged, Jeslyn pushed the door open and walked in. “I’m sure you’ve had enough rest. If you haven’t, you should use the lounge. We’ve been waiting for you to finish since forever, whereas you are long done and were deliberately keeping us waiting.” She frowned. 

The ladies and their Assistants turned to look at Jeslyn. A moment later, they burst out laughing. 

“Hold on, what did I just hear her say?” 

“The scandalous little singer said we should leave. Hahahaha…” 

“Hahahahaha… did no one tell her this studio is exclusively Toria’s?” 

“I guess that foolish Manager is at it again.” 

“Of course, only Manager Philip would do that. A snake comparing himself to a dragon…” 

“He’ll only get burnt. Hahahahaha…” 

“The scandalous little singer didn’t bother to ask before jumping around like a frog to use Toria’s studio…hahaha” 

The two ladies laughed while making mockery of Jeslyn and her Manager. 

“You two, I think you should let the newbies have the studio now. You finished practicing 4 hours ago and the newbies have been waiting for three hours. Don’t make trouble for the company. Besides, Toria wants another studio and this one should be opened to other artists.” Their dance instructor interfered. 

“I don’t remember asking for your opinion, you dog!” One of the ladies barked at him. 

“Yeah, I’m just saying” The dance instructor rolled his eyes and left after that. 

Jeslyn sighed and shook her head once she was left with the ladies and their assistants. 

“If I’m not wrong, you two are senior Toria’s friends. What do you think she would do if this is reported to her? I heard she’s a decent person.” Seeing that one of them was about to talk, like she just remembered something, Jeslyn immediately clapped and continued: 

“Ah… before you ask who would dare tell her, I’m making it easier for you to know that sometimes, I tend to run my mouth a little too much and blabber things like this even to the media and also, I have a bad habit of recording stuff, especially things that would bring down a celebrity… After all, I’m scandalous like you said, so after what happened to me, I learned to start holding cameras around.” She paused to look at their shocked faces and hid a smile behind her words. 

“All what you two have done since I came in here was recorded and I’m intending to send it to the media so the world would forget about my scandal for a while and talk about how beautiful and souls are…” 

your 

faces 

“How dare you call us ugly!!” one of the ladies roared. She was the least pretty lady in the room and she was known for being insecure about her face and body shape. Even though she already has a good body, Phoebe refuses to admit it and is working really hard to get some procedures done. 

Jeslyn examined the ladies in the room. To be fair, they were lacking in the beauty department, but with thick makeup on, they pass as average, but they have nice and clean bodies, just their faces and Phoebe’s legs weren’t that great. 

Jeslyn sighed again. “You are misinterpreting my words. You are naturally beautiful, both in appearance and face… including your legs-” she curled her lips into a provocative smile. 2 

One who is living in a glasshouse shouldn’t throw stones because when the victims reciprocate, the glasshouse will be the one to bear the brunt of it all. 

Jeslyn’s facial expression, coupled with her body language, didn’t go with her ‘sincere‘ words. She was ‘praising‘ their beauty, yet she was also making a mockery of them. Without a doubt, insecure girls. would naturally be offended when the prettiest girl they’ve ever seen was telling them how ‘beautiful‘ they are. 

“Jeslyn!!!” Phoebe roared. “You should get your things arranged because you are leaving this company today!” With that, she stormed out. 

“Phoebe!” the other lady called before she got up and glared at Jeslyn, then started to chase after her friend. 

The two female Assistants also glared at Jeslyn before they hurried after their bosses. 

Soon, the door burst open and Lolita and Ruben entered. 

Jeslyn, what did you do? They left in anger.” Lolita asked. 

Jeslyn shrugged. “They don’t understand English and they also have PhD in misinterpreting meanings of words. Anyway, the most important thing is that they left. So now that the studio is ours, what are we supposed to do?” 

“Haha… I’m also lost as to why your Manager sent us here. Lolita laughed awkwardly. 

Meanwhile, inside one of the offices, a woman with short brown hair, wearing a casual nude blouse on top of black knee–length skirt was seen, I staring at the Surveillance footage with a man sitting on 

the office chair.
