However, Antonette didn’t leave with Diana. Instead, she walked over to Brian and stood close to him. “Don’t blame Diana. She has that temper. She will be alright when she calms down.”
Antonette looked at Brian, but he didn’t say anything. The light reflected off his glasses, giving his face a gorgeous golden glow. This was in stark contrast to his expression, which remained rather cold.
Antonette was determined to get him. She stood closer and closer and whispered in his ear, “Diana and Kyle seem to be lovebirds. Maybe she is going to find him. Sometimes I feel sorry for you. You treat her so nicely, but she never thanks you. Instead, she humiliates you over and over again… If I were here, I would never do that to you. I would love you…” As she spoke, Antonette pressed her breasts seductively into Brian’s chest.
Brian looked at Antonette coldly and pushed her up against the wall.
“When will you stop acting as if you are Diana’s best friend? What kind of person do you think I am? Do you really think you are important just because your classmate treats you nicely?”
Antonette was livid. What was so good about Diana? Her breasts were flat. She was bad-tempered and silly. Why do these men treasure her? She was okay with Kyle loving Diana, but why did Brian also? Why did she fail , wherewith Diana so easily succeeded?
Just as Antonette was about to speak, she heard a scream from the door. It was Diana. Having come back to find Antonette, she saw Brian pushing himself on her. They were looking passionately at each other. Diana felt a pain in her heart and covered her mouth in shock.
“Diana!” Letting go of Antonette, Brian shouted out nervously.
But Diana didn’t look at them anymore and rushed out. She was overwhelmed with sadness. She shouldn’t have come back to find Antonette. Maybe she was just the obstacle that was preventing them from being together. But she had no idea and stayed there happily with them. Maybe they were longing for her to leave so that they could enjoy their private time. But she foolishly went back to find Antonette, what an idiot!
Brian glared at Antonette. Obviously, Diana must have misunderstood the situation. He seriously regretted having allowed Antonette to stay. He had only been asking for trouble by doing that.
Brian ignored Antonette and ran after Diana. With his long legs, he caught up with her quickly. Holding Diana’s hand, he came to her in the corridor and explained, “You don’t understand! It’s not what you think!”
Diana was so angry that Brian grabbed her, holding her in the same way he had Antonette. The scene was almost identical. With no way to get rid of him, Diana slapped Brian’s face in great anger. She hit him with all her strength.
Standing beside them, Ken looked at them with his eyes wide open.
Oh my god! Did Miss Anderson just slap her boss? Now he had seen everything. He had been working for Brian for many years and had never seen him so wretched. Brian William was slapped by a girl!
Diana was also stunned after seeing Brian’s red face. She couldn’t believe what she’d done!
Standing at the end of the corridor, Antonette also saw what happened. She covered her mouth in astonishment and didn’t dare to speak.
Brian’s expression changed. He was about to say something when a female voice appeared from behind them all. “What’s going on here today? It all seems very interesting!”
Everyone turned in the direction of the voice. A beautiful woman wearing a stunning dress was standing beside the door.
“Carol, why are you here?” Brian frowned.
“Boss, I was about to tell you that Miss Jefferson had called to say she would be visiting. But I didn’t expect she would show up so quickly.” Ken spoke naturally as if he hadn’t just seen his boss being slapped by a girl and caught touching another woman by his fiancée. Ken acted like he couldn’t feel the embarrassment in the air.
“Hello, I am Brian’s fiancée, Carol Jefferson.” Carol carried herself like she also couldn’t sense the embarrassment and ignored the fact that Brian was hugging another girl. Walking forward, she politely reached out her hand to Diana.
Brian let go of Diana and stood beside her. His expression was complicated.
Hearing Carol’s self-introduction, Diana was overwhelmed with a mixture of feelings. But she pretended she was fine and shook Carol’s hand. Something about that action shook her out of her confusion, and she regained her control. Brian had a fiancée, and he had acted intimately with her. Moreover, he acted improperly with her best friend, Antonette. Diana’s natural instinct was to feel angry, but strangely her overwhelming feeling was sadness.
“Nice to meet you, Miss Jefferson. We are friends of Mr. William. We came to use his place to study.” Antonette also shook hands with Carol. She didn’t know Brian had a fiancée. But she didn’t mind that. It was just the custom of rich families to find their son’s fiancée when they’re young. It was a way of uniting rich and powerful families. Antonette persuaded herself that if she couldn’t bear this, she’d better give up her big dream now.
Besides, this so-called fiancée was not her main problem, Diana was. After all, she had seen that Brian treated Diana, especially. Compared with this so-called fiancée, Diana was a far bigger threat.
Thinking of this, Antonette smiled at Carol and chatted with her.
“Miss Jefferson, you are so elegant. I heard you studied abroad. You must be very smart. You are so beautiful and knowledgeable. I am so envious of you.”
Carol was pleased by her flattering words. So, she chatted happily with Antonette.

After a short conversation, Carol turned to Diana, “It’s about time for dinner. I thought you might eat with us? Brian is too careless to invite you himself. I have told him many times that he shouldn’t act like a child. You and I are of a similar age, I’m sure we’ll find plenty to talk about. You have to give me a chance to invite you to dinner.”
“Since you are so kind, we will stay. It’s amazing, I know we’ve only just met, but I feel like we are rather similar.” Antonette jumped in and accepted Carol’s invitation at once. Diana had no chance to reply and wasn’t happy with Antonette for speaking on her behalf, though she kept this to herself.
