Diana finally arrived at her dormitory, suitcase in hand. Antonette was waiting there for her, and luckily for Diana, the other roommates were not back yet.
The atmosphere in the dormitory was sure to be hostile. Diana thought it would be better for her to stay at the library as long as possible.
“Diana, there you are,” Antonette said cheerily.
Diana raised her head and smiled. “Yeah, how about having dinner together?”
“Good idea. I will treat you today. I am so sorry about what happened yesterday.”
Antonette’s words made Diana feel terrible. As Antonette had said, it was just the waiter’s mistake with the room.
But thinking of the check Brian had promised to give her, Diana smiled and said, “Well, you treat me tonight, and I will take you to a nice restaurant later too.”
Antonette knew Diana was special to Brian, so she couldn’t stop being friends with her. At least, not before she had used Diana to get what she wanted.
To make it up to Diana, Antonette decided to treat her well. She took Diana to the deluxe restaurant beside their school.
“Diana, you can order anything you want. Take it as my apology,” Antonette said gently.
Diana was touched. “It was not your fault. Really, Antonette, you are too nice.”
Antonette was thankful she’d gotten away with her role in the incident.
Diana ordered various luxurious dishes, including lobster, crab, and other expensive seafood. Antonette felt depressed to think of the bill she would end up with at the end, but she had to pretend to be generous and happy.
“Diana, enjoy it. I have earned a lot from my part-time jobs. I can afford it.”
“Really?” Diana was elated.
Antonette found Diana was not good at picking up on her hints that she was unhappy.
Diana continued eating, polishing off the second bowl of king prawns when a gentle voice called her name from behind.
“Diana, I haven’t seen you for days. Where have you been?”
Diana raised her head immediately after hearing this familiar voice. Seeing Kyle’s handsome face, Diana smiled happily. “Kyle, how are you these days?”
Kyle grinned back at her and turned to Antonette, “May I join you guys?”
Antonette was longing for a chance to meet Kyle, but she pretended to be shy.
“Of course. What have you been up to, Kyle?”
Kyle didn’t like Antonette. He replied politely, “I have been helping the professor with the project, so I’m pretty busy.”
Diana didn’t notice their emotions. She just wanted to eat everything she could. After all, she rarely had a nice meal with Brian. The only pleasant one recently was in Kate’s house, and that was another of Brian’s tricks. How miserable!
Kyle had been thinking long and hard about the conversation he’d had with Simon about Diana. Simon had presented him with a rare chance which he did not want to let go. Still, he didn’t want to give up Diana either. He really loved her.
And when he saw Diana there that day, he came up with an idea.
Simon wasn’t loyal to his wife; he had many mistresses. And nobody criticized him because he was rich and powerful. It was similar to Brian; though Diana hated him, for some reason, she still stayed with him. Kyle thought if he could be rich and powerful too, Diana would come to him.
Having this idea, Kyle was excited. So, after finding out Diana had moved back, he came to see her at once.
It was no longer so taboo for a man to have mistresses. As long as he had money, plus the power and influence of a family like the William’s, he could get anything he wanted.
Sitting beside Diana, Kyle stared at her pretty face. He was delighted to be with her again. And he was determined that he would get this girl, no matter what he had to do.
Kyle didn’t notice that Antonette was also gazing jealous at Diana.
“Kyle, Antonette, why don’t you eat?” Diana had no idea what they were thinking. For her, the most important thing was to feast on all her favorite food.
As they politely picked a few dishes to try, Diana herself suddenly became engrossed in thoughts of someone else, Brian William. He had been weird that morning; his gentle behavior was quite confusing. Diana didn’t want to admit that she had fallen in love with him.
“I am super full now, I can’t eat anymore,” Kyle said gently. Seeing that Diana clearly loved prawns, Kyle then peeled a prawn and put it on Diana’s plate.
Antonette was jealous of his caring attitude toward Diana. So she picked up a prawn too and held it tightly in her hand. After a few seconds, Antonette moaned, “Ahh, my hand!”
Diana and Kyle looked at her immediately and found Antonette had cut her hand on the prawn’s shell.
There was a visible wound on her finger, which soon started to bleed.
Diana screamed, “Antonette, you should have been more careful!”
Kyle rolled his eyes impatiently. But still, he took out his handkerchief and said, “Wrap your wound first. It would get worse if you didn’t treat it quickly.”
He placed his handkerchief beside Antonette; he didn’t want to help her himself.
Diana took it and was about to wrap Antonette’s wound, but Antonette swiftly pulled her hand back. “Diana, your hands are covered in sauce,” she whispered.
It was clear that she only wanted Kyle to help her.
realized and turned to Kyle. “Kyle, help her, please.”
Kyle was speechless, how did Diana not see through this girl? But he also loved Diana for her innocence; she never thought badly of others.
Doing as Diana asked, Kyle took the handkerchief and wrapped Antonette’s wound.
At the same time, a man was filming all this from a corner of the restaurant. Diana focused on her food, Kyle impatiently wrapping Antonette’s finger; Antonette looking lovingly at Kyle… it was quite the scene.
