chapter 38

At the college, as soon as Lucy entered through the gates, the students around were snickering and laughing at her. Some even sneered on her face, not bothering to hide their disdain.Lucy slowed her steps and looked around.Why is everyone staring at me like that?"Hey! The heartbroken Lucy has come!""She did? I thought she would be crying in her room, hiding her face in the pillow."The chuckles grew louder and louder.One girl stepped forward. "How are you Lucy? I heard you got rejected.""Tsk. Tsk. This is what happens when you try to hit on a wealthy man."Lucy had no idea what she was saying."Rejected?" She frowned.Laura stepped with her sidekicks and smiled at her. "Come on Lucy. Don't be in denial. You were pathetic yesterday with those tears in your eyes. You all should have seen her. Poor Lucy's eyes had turned so red. Seems like her boss quite brutally rejected her."Lucy blinked her eyes.Wait that? I was crying because of what Boss said about sis luca! Where did rejection come here?One of the guys whistled. "Hey, Lucy! Please describe how you confessed to him and then got rejected. What did he say to you? We are dying to know!""Yessss~~~ Tell us!"Laura smirked at Lucy and was satisfied with how everybody humiliated her."There is a misunderstanding. I didn't confess to my Boss," Lucy said.Laura shook her head. "I saw it myself and you are still denying."Lucy furrowed her brows. "You saw me crying and that is true. But you didn't see what happened that made me cry. You weren't there. So from where did confession and rejection come into the conversation?"Her mouth twitched.Molly came rushing and glared at Laura. "Laura! What false rumors are you spreading?""Rumors?" She chuckled."I saw how she looked at Mr. Willson when he was in our college two days back. Her crush on him was so obvious. And naturally, she shamelessly confessed to him and got rejected. The gold-digger Lucy couldn't wait at all to latch onto a rich thigh."Everybody burst into laughter."Her desperation is so painful.""Yeah, she lives in a small apartment complex I heard. I can see why would she be so greedy to live in a mansion!"Molly gritted her teeth."Laura! Mind what you are speaking! Lucy already told me what happened and it's far from your imagination. You just want to make a fool out of her because you weren't selected for the job!"Laura was enraged as if somebody stepped on her tail."Oh yeah, then why don't you tell us?"Lucy said, "It's something personal that I don't want to share."How could she say that the very Eric Willson came to live in her apartment where she also rode in his car yesterday and then he said all those things?They would think of her as some crazy woman in delusion.Laura sneered. "Of course you would like to keep your failed attempt at confession personal."Molly wished to slap her face.Lucy said, "Yaya. Forget it. We are getting late for class."Suddenly, a flying paper plane struck her head. Lucy opened it and in it, there was a drawing of her crying like a child after being rejected and Eric walking away while she kneel in front of him as if begging to accept her.Her lips stretched into a thin line.Molly was furious. "Hey! Who threw this?"They just whistled and didn't respond. One by one, a lot of paper planes flew to her side, all drawings being about mocking her rejection and making fun of her.One such paper plane flew and fell right at a certain someone's feet.Eric bent and picked up the piece of paper.
