Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

93 A Young Girl’s Crush

Selma Payne’s POV:

“Good morning, girls!”

Mara ran toward us with a paper box in her arms.

The graduation ceremony was just around the corner, and all the clubs were nervously setting up their venues. People came and went in front of the school gate, carrying some decorations and props. Mara accidentally bumped into a boy carrying a bunch of badminton rackets. The box in her hand fell to the ground, and the rose-red cards scattered all over the ground.

“This is bad!”

She hurriedly picked it up, and we quickly went to help. Unfortunately, it had just rained last night, so the ground was wet. The cards were covered with muddy water and could no longer be used.

Kara complained in a low voice, “Ryan will kill me! He especially made these cards to write the invitation for the special guests. It’s all over now!”

“Don’t worry,” I consoled her. “There’s still a week before the graduation ceremony. We’ll have time to get a new one.”

“But these cards are custom-made, and it’ll take more than half a month to complete.” Kara said dejectedly, “Ryan hopes it would become some kind of precious campus memento. He definitely will kill me!”

Well, no one knew the virtue of these ‘luxury goods’ with long construction periods better than the general affairs officer of the royal family. Of course, the production time didn’t have to be long, and the materials didn’t have to be precious, but the shelf must be set up.

Even if the goods were ready on the second day after the first order, he must let it collect dust in the warehouse for half a month, or it would lower his value.

“Ryan won’t have the chance to kill you,” I took the box of cards and said, “I’ll go back and ask the general affairs officer of the palace to think of a way. I think there should be similar cards in the palace warehouse.”

“Really!” Mara covered her mouth in disbelief and said excitedly, “That’s great! That’s the royal family’s stuff. Compared to this, any other luxury brand is weak!”

“You’re spoiling her too much, Selma. How can you simply give away the royal family’s things?”

“It’s just a few pieces of paper.” I didn’t care. “Can’t you just keep it a secret? No one knows this belongs to the royal family, so let it quietly become one of those precious luxury goods!”

We walked into the school side by side.

The final exams had just ended, and the students were no longer frowning while studying. Instead, they were cheering and reveling in the ball and party. Men and women were walking together shyly everywhere. The most popular and thin-skinned young man in the garden and the playground corner was always embarrassed to invite others in public.

The girls were chattering away. “Have you guys decided on a dance partner yet? My god, the third-year seniors are the most popular. The stadium and the opera hall are even more lively these days than the market. No boy can ‘protect himself’ and be divided by the crazy girls the moment they walk out of the door. They have to accept someone’s invitation.”

None of us had a dance partner. I wanted Aldrich to come, but the school rules forbade people from outside the school, be it a general or noble.

Avril seemed to have a crush. We urged her to tell the truth, and she pulled us to a corner and said shyly, “This is a secret. You must keep it a secret for me, okay?”

“Hurry up and tell me!” Mara could not wait.

“Alright, he’s... the president of the drama club, Ryan.”

“What?”

We were shocked.

Dorothy frowned. “If I remember correctly, Ryan is famous for his ‘career’? Besides his studies and the drama club, he doesn’t pay attention to anything else.”

“I don’t have a good impression of him either! And he has a bad temper! Previously, because of Carolyn, he got into a fight and was usually very fierce to the club members.”

Mara nodded with fear. “Listen to me, girl. Ryan is a big fire pit,” he said. “I admit he’s very handsome, but compared to his cold heart, that handsomeness is nothing!”

Maybe we were too agitated because Avril said unhappily, “He’s not what you think he is! In fact, he is a very kind and gentle person. You only see the superficial appearance!”

After that, she pushed us away and ran away.

“Oh, a silly girl who has fallen in love.” Mara sighed. “She won’t listen to anything now. Ryan’s charm is more powerful than the witch’s spell on her.”

“How did Avril fall in love with Ryan?” I didn’t understand. “She’s from the boxing club, isn’t she? What kind of contact does she usually have with Ryan?”

Mara felt a little guilty. “It’s my fault. I always ask Avril to help out at the drama club. Maybe she fell in love with Ryan then.”

“We have to stop her.” Dorothy suddenly said, “Carolyn has agreed to Ryan’s dance partner’s invitation. We can’t just watch Avril’s heart break, can we?”

“What?” Mara exclaimed, “This b*stard! He even rejected a girl before he instructed me to go out and pick up the delivery. He pretended that he would ‘consider’ it! He lied to everyone!”

Dorothy replied calmly, “I heard it from a passing student. Maybe it’s just a rumor? We have to find Avril now. We should not let her run into a wall in a moment of hot-headedness.”
