Chapter 149 - One Hundred And Forty-nine : Bully Who? (2/2)
”I wouldn't know the likes of you” She retorted with this haughty tone.
I scratched the back of my head, if she wasn't my classmate or friend, she could only be one thing - my new enemy.
”Excuse me? ”
”You think you're worth this role?”
Oh, so a competitor and an insecure one at that - she wouldn't be here to pester me if she was confident of winning.
”Do I need a certain certificate to prove I'm worth it? Why didn't you tell me earlier?” I pretended to be clueless yet making fun of her.
”Y-you ” her face distorted into an angry one but she managed to calm down, even put on a charming smile.
Goosebumps climbed down my arms, actresses were scary especially ones who could mask their emotions properly.
She jabbed me on the chest, ”You're coming for a role like this one yet you dressed this shabbily?”
Unlike most people here who were dressed like they would make their walk down the runway, I wore simple and monochromatic clothes; pairing a white long sleeve tee with dark denim and boots with my hair pulled into a ponytail with tendrils hanging at the side of my face with reading glasses.
I opted for this shy yet stylish look for a reason, they have no right to know yet - it would come as a shocker to them.
”So after seducing Niklaus, you still don't have enough money to buy yourself clothes?” She pulled and stretched my clothes with her fingers in a ridiculing gesture.
I slapped her hand away, ”Since you're so mighty and capable, why don't you give me some? This junior sister of yours wouldn't hesitate to accept it ?” I said shamelessly.
” W-what? ” She was dumbfounded.
”Why? You don't want to give me the money for the clothes anymore?” I pressed, ”Don't tell me you're all talks and no action? Maybe you don't have any money as you claim?” I speculated.
There was great murmuring among the crowds, everyone was now interested in our altercation.
I smirked internally, this arrogant actress from nowhere wanted to disgrace me with money? Sadly for her, I learned from the best - fat thanks to Niklaus for teaching me how to be shameless.
Lisa was tongue-tied, in just a short while I turned the crowd against her. Then she began to laugh boisterously before fixing her glare on me, saying viciously,
”What a gold digger you are, no wonder Niklaus kicked you out - you didn't even achieve anything from your short stay with him.At the end of the day, you're all alone. ”
”Who said she's alone?”
Everyone turned in the direction of the voice while my eyes narrowed into slits that moment, no way.
Surprised gasps came from the crowd while a path was automatically created as young Isabella made her epic entrance - no wait, Anabelle too.
Weren't these kids supposed to be in school? What kind of parent were those men? Well, I couldn't blame them. Anyone who has been with those two daredevils - Isabella to be precise - would have given up on parenthood a long time ago.
Lisa's eyes widened in shock while the troublesome kids stopped right in front of us.
”You were saying? ” Isabella lifted her brow challengingly.
”N-nothing” Lisa swallowed back her words nervously.
I was stunned, she cowered in the face of power? Wasn't she the one raising her voice on me moments ago?
”Did she bully you?” Isabella directed the question at me.
Lisa's gaze and I met and held, I noticed her lips trembling - it seems the Izzy was more notorious than I thought.
Both eyes seem to communicate secretly:
Me: What to do? Should I or should I not tell?
Lisa: Please don't, I'm sorry for everything - it was just a slip of the tongue. I would do anything you ask of me.
Me:*smirks evilly* Anything?
Lisa:Yes, anything.
Me:Fine,deal.
I turned to Isabella with a smile, ”Of course, she didn't bully me - I was the one who did the bullying instead. Don't you trust your one and only, Maya?”
