Chapter 4 - What's wrong with you?!

Aila drove through the lush greenery of this exclusive estate and thought its been about 10 mins since she came through the main gate & she still could not see the main house.

"...."

These novels seriously has some warped level of wealth that is unparralleled in the real world. At the same time she couldn't help but grin and thought:

This is crazy but amazing, who would have thunk that she would fall in a novel & get rich quick! Its way better than Cinderella's rags to riches story.

No evil stepmother or sisters, no acting like a maid in her own house though the instant prince charming is questionable at the moment. Overall still 10 out 10 compared to her previous life.

Finally she caught sight of a magnificent mansion and had to gasped in wonder as it seemed to parrallel that of the palaces of Versailles.

What kind of novel is this?!

It wasn't described much in the novel the kind of houses these protagonists lived in. It was mostly their confusing love lives and melodramatic plots.

Thank you transmigration gods! I will never curse you again!

******

As she step into the huge double doors of the mansion. It was opened by th estate butler.

Butler?! How many surprises are still in this body's life? How can she throw herself away to a playboy when she is basically royalty at this point?!

Clicking her tongue inwardly, she told herself not to get easily swayed by the seemingly oppulent life around her.

There must be a catch to all this...

As the maids greeted her warmly, she sighed and inwardly thanked the original body for not being a typical bitchy side character. The only possible drawback to this character is probably her unhealthy obsession with Calvin and how she seemingly lost her dignity in front of this man countless of times.

Well, no matter. From now on she will stay away from the toxic characters and will undoubtedly live a life of luxury to the fullest. After this dinner she would announce that she will travel the world like she always dreamed of and will not comeback until the end of the story which is probably a year from now.

Having come up with a plan in her head, Aila saw her mother coming dressed elegantly in a dark midnight blue dress. No wonder this body's face is gorgeous. Her mother doesn't look a day over 40.

"There you are dear, everybody is waiting for you. How come your dressed so plainly today?"

Aila touched her face & remembered that she used to dress to the 9s for events like this and has a full make up on most of the time.

Now she is just wearing a long sleeved white turtle neck and black leather pants & boots. She had to cover up obviously & she didn't feel like overdoing her make up today. So she opted for rose lipstick, a little blush & some mascara.

She didn't know that she looked more stunning having shed all that heavy make up.

"Do..does it look bad?" She asked nervously.

Her mother looked at her closely for sometime. After starting to feel nervous under her gaze she finally opened her mouth and said:

"You look wonderful dear, you remind me of my youth. You really are my daughter."

With a beeming smile on her face, her mom ushered her to the dining room and had her seated close to the head of the household.

"Hey dad, how have you been?"

Her mom seated on the right side of her father & started serving his food.

"Hello there darling, is that a new look? It suits you well!"

Nodding approvingly at her, she noticed that Aila's eyes seemed to be inherited from her father. Who looked dashing still in his late 40s. He seemed to have some mixed lineage in him as well.

"Isn't it dear? I doubted my ears for a second when she told me earlier that she's turning over a new leaf. But who knew? She really might mean it this time."

"Well I hope so...enjoy the food dear. The chef was all out cooking your favourites."

"I will dad" then remembering that she had an older brother as well. She asked her dad if he would be coming.

Mother Carter answered "You're brother is running a little late. He will bring with him that someone I want you to meet." with a wink at her, her dad interjected.

"Dear, isn't Aila too young to be engaged?"

"What are you talking about? We got married when I was 19. Aila's practically ancient now!"

Aila on the side "....." well damn, I guess this is the downside to being insta rich.

Before she could think of countermeasures to back away from her mother's bulldozer way to ship her off to marriagedom the butler announced that the young master & his guest have arrived.

A young tall man, dressed in a business suit came in who seemed to be the male version Aila.

"Nice to grace us with your presence little sis." he said to her sarcastically and proceeded to kiss her mom on the cheek & sat beside her.

"Mom, I got him to get here finally. I thought it'll be a headache but he agreed readily. I guess he wants to get this over with promptly as well."

"Allister! Mind your manners!"

Her mom turned her head towards the guess & she in turn turned to look and her eyes bulged out.

"Hello there Calvin, why don't you take a seat. You can sit there besides Aila" smilling sweetly she said.

Mother!!!!

Like a creaking doll, Aila turned slowly to her side and found the male lead smilling wickedly at her. Never in her imagination that this playboy would show up at her house. She had the impression that this guy did not like her at all from Aila's past memories and would avoid her like the plague.

"Hi, my lady. I think we've met before?" Smilling widely at her, she had an impression that a cat just found a new toy.

With goosebumps all over her. She clenched her teeth & glared at him.

What are you doing here? I'd thought you'd be licking the female lead's feet by now. What's wrong with you?!
