Now Antonette looked at Diana coldly, making no effort to hide her feelings. Diana Anderson, you just knew Brian earlier than me. Why are you such a hypocrite? You’re an easy girl who’ll sleep with anyone!
Diana was dead to the world as she slept. Suddenly, her phone rang.
She was woken by the call and drowsily picked up the phone.
Although her body was awake, her mind still wasn’t. Diana answered the phone by instinct.
Kyle’s gentle voice appeared in Diana’s ear, “Diana, why didn’t you answer my call? Is there something wrong?”
“Kyle?” Diana glanced at the phone to check who was calling. It was Kyle. No wonder the voice sounded so nice.
Kyle was worried about her, how sweet.
But why was he calling her at this time?
Was there a problem with their project? No! It was too important!
“What’s wrong?” Diana sobered up at once, “I am sorry. I was on the night shift yesterday.”
Diana checked the time but found it was already evening. She remembered that she had made an appointment with Kyle before.
After the night shift, Diana had planned to have a sleep and then go to the lab in the afternoon. However, a quarrel with Brian and tiredness from work made her forget the time. If Kyle hadn’t called her, Diana would still have been asleep. It was completely dark outside.
“I am really sorry, Kyle. I overslept and forgot to go to the lab.” Diana was very nervous, “I was working last night, and it was super busy. I have been asleep since I got back.”
Kyle lowered his voice to comfort Diana, “It doesn’t matter. I have handled the experiment by myself. Take it easy. But why didn’t you answer my call this afternoon?”
Phone call?
Diana thought for a moment. She had been sleeping so deeply she hadn’t heard a thing.
She looked around but found no one. Her roommates must have gone for dinner, so there had been no one to wake her up when Kyle rang.
Diana scratched her head and apologized to Kyle. She found she had more than 20 missed calls from him.
Kyle had been looking for her for so long. But he had finished the experiment by himself. Why did he call her so many times?
“So, is there anything you need to ask me now?” Diana asked.
Kyle was still anxious for her, “Did you really not answer my calls because you were sleeping? Not for any other reasons?”
“It’s true. My roommates can prove it.” Only then did Kyle let out a sigh of relief. His kind voice continued, “Diana if you have a problem, you can tell me.”
Problem?
Diana thought it was better not to let Kyle know the problem, since Brian was so powerful. Antonetten if Kyle knew it, he would be unable to help her. It would also cause trouble for him.
So Diana denied quickly, “No, I don’t have any trouble. Anyway, I can handle myself, don’t worry.”
“But this morning…” Kyle said slowly.
Hearing this, Diana knew he must have heard the rumors. After all, there had been a handsome man, a luxury car, a team of bodyguards, and a crowd of people that morning around her dormitory.
Although she didn’t want to be famous in school, she was on the way to being very well known.
Diana was frustrated. But she didn’t want to tell Kyle the truth, nor mention Brian’s name. She only said, “Ah, it was no big deal, just some weird guy in my dormitory.”
Diana looked around cautiously after saying these words. She was afraid that somebody might have heard. Fortunately, there was no one in the dormitory. Diana felt relieved. She was so nervous these days!
Seeing that Diana didn’t want to talk about it, Kyle changed the subject.
“Diana, I hear that you are working at Adam’s Bar. Is it true?”
Diana tensed. How did Kyle know about this?
“Kyle, please don’t misunderstand!” Diana explained urgently, “I am just a waitress! Please trust me!”
“It is not safe for a girl to work there.” He wasn’t judging, just looking out for her. Diana felt touched by his concern.
She didn’t want Kyle to worry about her. She pretended to be happy and strong, “Everything is good. The bar owner and the manager are friendly to me. And a lovely supervisor is teaching me how to do makeup properly. I look pretty beautiful after her makeovers!”
She recounted various funny stories of things that had happened in the pub.
Kyle listened to her carefully and laughed at Diana’s tales.
“That’s good,” Kyle said with a warm smile.
“I am relieved to hear you are safe.” Kyle continued, “Although everyone is friendly to you there, men are complicated. You’d better keep an eye out just in case.”
Diana felt his sincere concern.
She repeatedly nodded in approval, fighting back the tears in her eyes, “Thank you, Kyle. It’s OK, and there’s nothing to worry about!”
Although Diana sounded bright and happy, in fact, she was very moved.
She didn’t expect someone who didn’t know her that well to be so concerned about her. She was determined to prove herself worthy of Kyle’s concern.
