Chapter 11: Rejection
Chapter 11: Rejection
As soon as the confession came out of his mouth, Felicity frowned, at a loss for words.
After Lucas confessed, the crowd was in an uproar; everyone exclaimed and roared at the same time.
"Say yes! Say yes!"
"Oh God! Lucas is so straightforward, but so romantic!"
… Being watched by so many people, Felicity bit her lips, her face turning red in embarrassment.
"Look, Felicity is blushing!"
"She must have some feelings for Lucas!"
At that moment, not far from the school gate, stood a man clad in black who witnessed the whole
scene.
He took out his cell phone and immediately called Jason, "Boss! Someone just confessed to Miss
James, at the school gate."
…
Anne and Mia were also at the scene in the crowd.
Seeing what happened, their expressions darkened.
Felicity James was confessed to again!!!
And by Lucas the Handsome?
They came to the school today to submit a five-thousand-word apology essay. Who knew, they’d get to
witness such a scene right before leaving.
Their moods were ruined even further by this.
Felicity wasn’t that pretty; why does she end up stealing the limelight everywhere?
"This slutty bitch!"
Anne gnashed her teeth in anger.
The sound of her cursing fell into the ears of students near her.
Several of them immediately looked around and saw them three standing there. Someone said, "Aren’t
these Felicity's roommates?"
"Looks like them! Didn’t Anne say that Felicity went to the bar with an escort to spend the night? Is that
true?"
"What? Oh no! Why would Lucas confess to such a woman?”
Someone nearby quickly corrected them, "Hey, the counselor clarified that it's a rumor. Anne and those
others, they've all been punished!"
"Yeah, I heard they came here today to submit their apology essay."
"Hah! So, they were so jealous of Felicity James that they spread such rumors?"
The comments continued around them.
Hearing these comments, Anne and the other two became even angrier, their faces darkened. Their
eyes turned into sharp arrows, shooting looks of hatred at Felicity, who was the main focus of the
crowds around them.
But Felicity had no time to pay attention to them.
Her brain felt hurting and she didn't know how to handle the situation.
Looking at the atmosphere, Lucas opened his mouth again and said to her sweetly, "Felicity James, I
have liked you for a long time, today I summoned up the courage to confess my feelings! I hope you
can accept my heart…”
Felicity looked extremely embarrassed and wanted to say no.
Looking at her hesitating to respond, the students around them could not help but guess the outcome,
“Look at her, do you think she’d say yes?”
"I think she’ll. I mean, it’s Lucas the Handsome. There is a long queue of women for him just waiting to
get a chance."
"But Felicity looks a bit embarrassed, so maybe it’s not a yes..."
The student beside him lowered his voice and said, "Not necessarily. Lucas’s family is so rich. Felicity
can’t even dream of being that rich, she can’t match Lucas in status. I think she is not deserving of
Lucas."
"Oh! Shut up, being so pretty is enough!"
Listening to everyone's comments, Lucas felt a bit more confident and he asked her firmly, "Felicity, do
you want to be my girlfriend?"
Felicity didn't want to hurt Lucas’s feelings in public, but she had to respond to him and make herself
clear, so she said helplessly, "I’m sorry, Lucas! I can’t."
Although her voice was very low, it was heard clearly by the people around her.
As soon as she said this, the crowd got into an uproar.
To every one’s surprise, Felicity’s standards were so high that she even rejected Lucas the Handsome
in front of everyone.
Lucas also felt humiliated and embarrassed to be rejected in front of everyone, but he kept his
affectionate tone as he said, "Felicity, think about it some more. I am now in charge of business in my
own company, I can give you a better life in the future. I will prove to you that choosing me is not a
mistake! I hope you can give me a chance! "
Seeing Lucas's infatuated tone, the people around them looked at them sourly.
Anne, Susan and Mia were beyond jealousy.
The Branson Group, owned by Lucas’s family was huge in the city, their so-called executive boyfriends
could never compare to Lucas.
They really couldn’t see how Felicity got so lucky.
Seeing Lucas insist so boldly, Felicity felt a bit annoyed. She frowned slightly; she didn’t want to keep
someone hanging on false hope.
She just wanted to focus on her work and she had no time for a relationship, so she decided to use
Jason Reed again and said, "Lucas, I already have a boyfriend."
Lucas was stunned for a moment; he couldn’t help but frown at her, "This is your excuse to reject me?"
"I do have a boyfriend!"
Felicity firmly repeated again.
Lucas’s face fell gloomily, "Don't lie to me. The counselor has already clarified that you didn’t go with
that escort."
"Yes, I didn't! But I do have a boyfriend."
Felicity said it again.
Lucas couldn't help getting angry, "Felicity, you are making a mistake! Me liking you is a blessing to
you, but you are so pretentious. This is not a good habit, Felicity, men don't like it. "
Felicity did not expect him to turn hostile so quickly; she stood there, shocked.
Gaining her composure back, she gave him an icy stare, and said coldly, "Lucas, speak carefully,
please. And, I too don't like two-faced assholes, who confess their love one second and insult the next
second. Do you like doing this? It is really low of you! "
"Felicity...!"
Lucas glared at Felicity angrily. How dared she to say so in his face?
"I didn't ask you to like me. You made this whole scene yourself. I don’t have to be criminalized for
humiliating you, you did this to yourself. I hope you will not do this again in the future."
Felicity knew that he felt humiliated, but she couldn’t allow him to humiliate her in return, so she made it
clear.
"Some people really like walking all over the other person! If a person like Lucas likes you, it’s the most
fortunate thing that can happen in your lifetime. But you still act arrogantly? Who do you think you are,
some rich princess?"
Anne, who was still brooding over Felicity's luck couldn’t keep herself from commenting.
She couldn't help but gloat at her humiliation.
"Exactly! There are so many girls here who like Lucas and would do anything to be his girlfriend, but
you dared to reject him. What do you think the other girls are, who are you to look down upon them?"
Mia assisted Anne from the side; her words instantly attracted hostility from the girls in the crowd.
True, isn’t Felicity's behavior despising them?
"Who do you think you are?" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Dared to reject Mr. Perfect?”
A wave of nasty insulting comments rose up around her; Felicity was not even surprised by this
anymore.
She didn't want to continue to argue with these people, so she turned around, ready to leave.
"Where are you going? Make it clear! "
Anne stopped her by standing in front of her; the students around her also didn’t let Felicity leave.
Lucas said angrily, "Felicity, you must explain yourself today."
Felicity also got angry, she said, "Romantic feelings for a person can’t be forced on them. I like my
boyfriend very much; I love him very much. No matter how handsome the other man is, no one else
can enter my heart!"
This completely infuriated Lucas. His face looked cold and ugly as he grasped Felicity's arm and said,
"Today, you will have to accept my confession!"
Since the soft and sweet Lucas didn’t work on her, it was time to show her the other side!
Felicity became more and more angry and desperate in her attempts to make him let go of her,
"Please! Just let me go!"
