Hearing Kyle mention Brian’s name, Diana felt sad. She closed the door and waved her hand. “I am done with Brian.”
Kyle was excited by Diana’s answer. However, he continued like it was nothing and asked casually, “What happened? Did you argue with each other?”
Diana recalled again what had happened today. She wanted to tell Kyle everything, but she knew that wouldn’t be wise. Kyle would likely get angry and go to ask Carol to apologize. Judging by Brian’s attitude, Kyle was not loved in the William family. If he did go to see Carol, he would be in real trouble.
So, Diana shook her head and said, “I just think he is arrogant and annoying. I don’t want to see him anymore.”
Kyle tenderly patted Diana’s shoulder. He smiled and said softly, “In that case, we won’t speak about him anymore. Come on, let’s start the experiment.”
Diana nodded gratefully. Kyle was so sweet and gentle. He noticed her embarrassment and knew to change the subject.
Still, the thought of Brian suddenly made Diana so miserable. What if he could be as kind as Kyle!
Diana was shocked by her own thoughts. Why could she not stop thinking about Brian William?
Kyle had prepared the equipment for the experiment. Putting on the gloves, he said, “Diana, you have missed many classes. You have a lot to catch up on, so listen carefully.”
Diana was very appreciative, “Thank you so much! Without you, I would have no idea!”
Kyle smiled. “You’re welcome.”
With that, they began working on the experiment, both perfectly content.
Meanwhile, Brian was furious. He hadn’t expected that Antonette would lie to him. He had been to every corner of the library, and he couldn’t find Diana anywhere!
But he wouldn’t give up easily. Brian stood outside the library and called Ken.
Ten minutes later, holding a small blackboard, Ken stood awkwardly next to Brian. On the blackboard were the words “Money for Diana Anderson’s location.”
The blackboard caught many people’s attention, and the offer of a reward worked. It didn’t take long for someone to come and tell them where Diana was.
“I saw Diana go to the lab building. Though I don’t know if she is still there.”
Brian waved at Ken and said, “Let’s go.”
They walked directly to the lab building. But there were many rooms in the building. Brian squinted his eyes and scanned the building for a sign of Diana.
Ken looked at him and asked carefully, “Boss, how will we find Miss Anderson? We don’t know which room she is in?”
Brian laughed at Ken, then said in a calculating voice, “We search every room, one by one.”
Ken was reluctant, but it was Brian’s order. He had no other choice but to follow him. This was one of the first times as his driver that Ken felt truly ashamed of what Brian was doing.
Luckily for Brian, there weren’t many students in the labs at that time. Ken searched the first floor quickly, asking each student very politely if they knew where Diana was.
“Nothing?” Brian said sadly to a clearly tired Ken.
Ken shook his head.
“Then, we keep searching.” Brian wouldn’t give up looking for Diana.
Ken went to search for the other floors.
Unaware of the desperate search for her, Diana continued doing her experiment with Kyle. Kyle taught her everything she needed to know for the experiment. Seeing Diana’s smile, Kyle felt a strong desire to hug her in his arms.
“Kyle, our professor said you won an international medicine competition. Is that true?” Diana chatted with Kyle as they completed the experiment.
Kyle nodded shyly, “It wasn’t a big contest…”
“That’s amazing!” Diana praised him.
Kyle smiled. “If you think those contests are interesting, I could take you with me for the next one. We can have a free trip.”
“That would be fantastic!” Diana answered excitedly.
They talked about everything, both thoroughly enjoying each other’s company.
After a while, Diana found she was thirsty. Ever the gentleman, Kyle said he would go to buy her some water.
Diana would normally refuse his help but today was different; she worried Brian might still be in the college and was eager to avoid him.
As Kyle went to leave, he found someone knocking at the door.
It was Ken.
Hearing Ken’s voice, Diana was scared. “Kyle! Don’t tell him I am here!”Diana whispered.
With that, Kyle knew that Diana was hiding from Brian, and he was happy to try and help her. He turned to Diana and lowered his voice. “Go and hide in the bathroom. I’ll deal with him.”
Diana looked at him gratefully and jumped down from the lab station. Once she was safely in the bathroom, Kyle opened the door.
They both looked at each other in surprise.
“Ken! Why are you here?”
Ken looked at Kyle and turned his head to see where Brian was. Brian wasn’t looking at them. Ken whispered to Kyle, “Sir, you’d better go inside right now. My boss is looking for Miss Anderson, and he’s pretty angry.”
“Looking for Diana? But she left after we finished the experiment.”
“What? Do you know where she went?”
