Chapter 6: I’ll Treat You

“Diana.” Picking up her phone, Diana heard her twin brother’s cold voice.

“Daniel! Why can’t you be kinder when you speak with me? I am your sister. But every time when you call me, I feel like I am talking with a stranger.”

Still, Diana was quite relieved to find it wasn’t a phone call from Brian.

But Daniel made her worry again. He asked: “Are you in trouble?”

“I... Why do you say that? I am not in trouble.” Diana smiled to hide her fear. Though in truth, just being asked that question, she was already sweating.

“I hope not. But anyway, I have settled it. You stay at home for a while and don’t go out. If you make any more trouble, I won’t save you.”

“Daniel, you are the best brother ever!” Hearing his reply, Diana was overjoyed and so grateful, thanking and praising her brother over and over.

But Daniel just hung up. All Diana could hear was the “di di” sound. “What a shame, couldn’t you just be nicer?” Diana thought.

She rolled over on the bed and sat up. Since Daniel had settled everything with Brian, now she could stop hiding in the dormitory and go out!

“Diana.” Antonette White came in with a take-out just as Diana opened the door. Carrying the take-out, Antonette saw that Diana was well dressed and asked confusedly: “Why have you changed your clothes? Are you going out? I’ve brought you those beef noodles.”

“Forget beef noodles! Come with me. Let’s go for a feast somewhere, then Karaoke. It’s on me!” Diana grabbed the take-out, put it on the table, and took hold of Antonette’s hands.

“Alright. Give me some time to change,” Antonette replied.

After getting dressed, the two girls left the dormitory hand in hand and headed for the bus stop beside the school gate.

Seeing that Diana was so happy, Antonette asked: “Diana, what happened? You hid in the dormitory for days, and now you are suddenly OK again.”

Diana was sucking happily on a lollipop and answered vaguely: “Nothing happened. I am just happy. How about Japanese food? I’ll treat you.”

“You always pay for the bill. I...” Biting her lip, Antonette lowered her head, she always felt so inferior in these moments.

“Stop saying that.” Diana interrupted. She knew that Antonette grew up in a single-parent family and didn’t have much allowance. So, Diana always paid the bill when they went out.

Diana tried to change the subject. “You help me a lot. Just consider it me showing my gratitude. Ah! After dinner, would you prefer to go to a bar or to karaoke?”

Diana was a fun-loving person, but she had been hidden in the dormitory for days without socializing. Now it was safe to go out, she was very enthusiastic and spoke passionately to Antonette.

Suddenly they heard a loud honk. Diana and Antonette tried to find whose car it was. A black Maybach stopped outside the school gate. The elaborate design on the luxurious car drew the students’ attention.

“Very flashy, isn’t it?” Diana murmured. Scared by the loud sound, Diana held Antonette’s hand and tried to leave.

But Antonette stood still and gazed at the car. She whispered: “Diana, the man sitting in the car seems to be looking at us.”

“Does he?” Diana was confused. She was not familiar with anyone who could afford a Maybach.

The car door opened, and a mixed-race man in a shirt and jeans walked out. He seemed to be over six feet tall and was incredibly handsome.

Some girls standing beside him started screaming and taking pictures with him on their phones.

The man walked to the other side of the car and bent down to open the door for another man. The man inside the car was even taller than the first. His well-designed suit showed off his perfect figure and long straight legs. He was wearing sunglasses but judging from his tall nose and sexy lips, everyone could tell that he was a gorgeous man.

Moreover, this man was rich and powerful. Seeing him walking toward them, Antonette grasped her dress nervously.

Diana opened her mouth, and her lollipop dropped to the ground.

It was Brian William! How could he know she studied at this university?

Wondering whether this man was going to kill her to keep his secret, Diana shivered, and her face turned to white. Meanwhile, the girl standing beside her, Antonette White, was blushing with excitement.

They were both immersed in their own thoughts and did not notice each other’s reactions. Brian William stopped before them and took off his sunglasses. His eyes were brighter than stars.

Looking at his gorgeous face, Antonette breathed deeply. This was the most handsome man she had ever met! Facing the man’s cold expression, Antonette asked: “What can I do...”

“Diana Anderson,” the man interrupted Antonette and looked directly at Diana, “You are the little sister of Daniel Anderson, aren’t you?”

“I... You must have the wrong person. Actually, I am Daniel’s other sister. My name is Dian Anderson,” Diana slowly uttered, looking at Brian’s threatening eyes.

“You lied to me last time. Do you know what I do to people who lie to me?” Brian still felt ashamed by his foolish mistake and was eager to erase the memory if he could.

“I am sorry. I beg your pardon...” Lowering her head, Diana apologized to him.

Meanwhile, Antonette was getting upset that the handsome man was not paying attention to her. She thus decided to do something to make him remember her. This might be the only chance that she would get to make friends with such an outstanding man. And such a man was standing so close to her. How could she miss the chance?

Antonette pulled Diana’s arms and stood before her. It was only then that Brian noticed Antonette. It seemed that he hadn’t seen her until now. Brian looked her up and down with an appreciative smile and asked: “Who are you?”

“I am Diana’s best friend, Antonette White. Why do you want Diana? Did she offend you? Whatever she did, please forgive her.” Antonette replied with a soft and sweet voice. She often behaved in this innocent, shy way, which regularly attracted the attention of men through their desire to protect her.

Hearing Antonette’s words, Diana was almost moved to tears. Antonette, you are my true friend!

However, Antonette’s introduction didn’t move Brian at all. He looked straight past her and gazed at Diana again.
