Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

252 Rules and regulations.

At the company…

Inside a well polished office, sat the classy Manager Kate. She was wearing a gray pencil skirt and blazer over a black shirt.

She was busy on her laptop when a knock sounded on the door before the door was pushed open. Jeslyn walked in wearing a white top and a jean.

“Good morning, ma’am.” She greeted.

Manager Kate didn’t raise her head but gestured to the seat in front of her. “Have your seat.”

“Thank you, ma’am.”

After Jeslyn sat down, Manager Kate took a file from the stack of files on one side of her table and threw it in front of Jeslyn “Read that.”

Jeslyn picked up the file and opened it, ignoring Manager Kate’s domineering personality, she glanced through it and It was a list of rules she must adhere to if she wanted to work with Manager Kate.

Seeing the first rule written in bold capital letters, Jeslyn took a deep breath and glanced at the serious woman in front of her before she looked back at the file and started to slowly read the list of rules, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. The more she read, the more she felt it was ridiculous:

[* NO DATING for the first five years.

*No phone calls while training

Weight checking every week

*No pregnancy for the first five years.

* No Marriage for the first five years.

* Public Image must be protected.

Stay away from scandalous incidents.

* Regular exercise

* No junk eating

according to timetable.

in bewilderment. She understood the ‘no dating‘ rules but some rules like dieting and weight checking, plus regular exercises didn’t sit well with her. Also, five years imprisonment for dating and marriage is too absurd. Celestine only got two years… ah, why is Celestine’s manager giving her the rule? Jeslyn was told to come here,
