Chapter 100
Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen
100 A Secret Affair
Selma Payneâs POV:
Everyone put on their school uniforms at the same time. First, they feared their outfit would get dirty, and second, they wanted to maintain a sense of mystery.
Dorothy had no choice but to lock the fur shawl in the storage cabinet. Unfortunately, the schoolâs insurance probably could not cover the cost of her dress which was worth two hundred times more than it.
âIf I had known, I would have brought the dress to school and changed into it before the dance.â Mara complained, âItâs too long. It looks good during dances, but itâs hard to walk in. â
Many other girls had the same idea as her, but they still put on their âbattle robesâ as if nothing had happened.
How many times in a year do you have the chance to wear a gown? Even if I were strangled to death, Iâd hold on until the end of the dance!
This was what many people were thinking.
Of course, quite a few students didnât care and chose to wear the light school uniform. Their swift-like lithe figures made others envious. Thus, I said with uncertainty, âWhy donât we change into our school uniforms first? We can change into our gowns before the dance. Otherwise, itâll be too uncomfortable.â
Dorothy could not stand it and agreed, âThe price of beauty is too great! Weâre not the ones graduating, so letâs leave the stage for them to compete. I miss my flat shoes so much right now.â
Avril did not care. In her tuxedo, she had no qualms.
So we headed to the stadiumâs locker room.
Sure enough, the place was packed with people, and many girls were waiting to change out of their torture devices.
Mara suggested we go to the drama clubâs room. The second floor was not open to the public, so we could change clothes in the props warehouse.
Due to the previous conflict, the once glorious drama club was no longer as glorious as it used to be. After Ryan stepped down, the drama club had no choice but to elect a temporary president to manage all the affairs. Guess who that person was?
That was right. It was Carolyn.
âItâs only been half a year,â Maraâs exaggerated expression showed how dissatisfied she was. âA newcomer who has only joined the club for half a year and has no achievements. She only wears her costume and is a decoration in the rest area every day. How can such a person be the president?â
âThe acting president,â I reminded her softly.
Mara was even more dissatisfied and thought aloud, âSheâs the acting president? Do you know what the first thing she did after taking office was? Kicking out all the actors who had formed plays and re-selecting them. Moreover, she was on the candidate list for the female lead of every play. Isnât it obvious? She likes to be in the limelight so much, she shouldnât be an actress. Instead, she should be a projector; sheâll have the stage all to herself. How cool would that be?â
âYou liked Carolyn a lot when she first came,â said Avril, trying to provoke her.
âThat was then, and now is now.â Mare rolled her eyes. âWho would refuse an angel who has fallen into the mortal world? Unless she has a heart that is the complete opposite of her appearance, no one in the drama club doesnât hate her. Even those boys who were so fascinated by her before would roll their eyes at the mention of her now.â
âSo how did she become the acting president?â I asked in confusion.
âI wasnât born with a great father.â Mara shrugged and opened the door of the prop warehouse with the key. âIf my father was a duke, I could do whatever I wanted to. â
I told myself that the real Carolyn wasnât such a person and that the southern Duke wasnât a stupid father.
Dorothy gave me a look, and we sighed helplessly together.
Iâd never felt so comfortable in my school uniform before. The dress with stars embroidered in the silver thread was indeed beautiful, but I felt like I was a piece of ham wrapped in it, and I didnât dare to move.
After changing our clothes, we were about to leave when we suddenly heard some movement in the corridor. I gestured for the girls to keep quiet and peeked through the door crack.
It was Carolyn and Ryan.
What were they doing here?
I quickly found out they were kissing each other impatiently, not caring that they were in public.
The girls looked at each other in shock.
âDrama!â Mara mouthed.
We were done for. We couldnât leave now, and we couldnât stay either. So we stood in place at a loss and prayed that we wouldnât be blinded by whatever was coming next.
At this moment, Carolyn spoke.
âGo slow, baby. We still have a lot of time,â she moaned coquettishly. âCan you satisfy me? Oh, good doggy, I know youâre mighty... â
Ryan was like a real dog, licking Carolynâs tender neck like ice cream. Then, he mumbled, âI will satisfy you, Carolyn. I will...â
For a moment, I was burning with anger. How dare that despicable witch use Carolynâs identity to do such a thing!
But it was obvious that someone was even angrier than me.
Before we could even react, Avril kicked open the door to the storage room and strode out like a proud flamingo, mocking the dumbfounded couple by the curtains.
âGood day, Mr. Genius, Miss Duke.
âAre you guys rehearsing? Oh, this is really a good show, but itâs a pity that itâs a little R-rated. Otherwise, we couldâve put it on stage, right?â
Moon Goddess, she was really cool at this moment.
