In the library, once again Lyra started spamming the group chat, asking the others if they were on their way.
Once again, there were no replies.
“Do you think they’ll come today?” Remi asked.
Lyra sighed, already fed up by their behavior.
Diana looked at the time.
She tapped her finger on the table slowly. “Why don’t we do a dry-run for the questions?”
Lyra and Remi agreed. That’s all they could do today.
Diana asked question after question and explained the answers diligently. Before lunch time, their throats were already dry.
“So, I’ll just print all of these out later on at home. I’ve already bought the presentation folders for it.” Lyra said, packing up.
“I’ll help you out.” Remi offered. Lyra gladly accepted.<
“Okay...But, what about the topic?” Lyra asked.“It’s not a problem. Both groups will present the same topic. The presentation is already on Wednesday so I’d understand that you’re lacking in time if you have to change the topic now. Anyway, this is not a competition. What’s important is your understanding of the topic given and you can present it with others as well.” He calmly said.The whole time, Halynn was inwardly celebrating.Joe and Harvey didn’t react more and just muttered their agreement.Hours passed and their classes were finished for the day.“Do you guys have somewhere to go today before you go home?” She asked Lyra and Remi.“Hmm? Nope.” Lyra replied. Remi also shook her head.Diana smiled faintly. “Good. Come with me for a bit..”
At the Anderson’s Residence, the family sat together for dinner. Heather was also present.“How are you, dear? Have you adjusted well in the house?” Rosemary warmly asked Heather.“Everything’s good, Auntie..” Heather smiled. “I probably might get a promotion too. The house is really close to the Department so I’m able to report on time, even earlier. Mrs. Kent takes good care of me too. So I’m always energized before going to work and well-rested once at home.”Rosemary beamed in happiness. “That’s great! I know you’re very capable..”“Thank you..” Heather replied shyly.A few days after she moved out of the apartment, she called her parents to let them know. She didn’t mention about the problem with Henry and just told them that it was more convenient to be near her workplace.
Wednesday arrived and it was time for the case presentation for their class subject Medicine I with Doctor Hector Gallagher as their professor.The groups have already started presenting their case study. They would also answer questions by their classmates and by the professor. A few times, Doctor Gallagher would correct a part of their case study or had them present an example of it.This proved to be difficult to some groups but Kristopher Alonzo’s group however was praised. Koby and Cora also did well in their respective groups.At this time, it was Halynn’s group’s turn.She swaggered towards the front and had Joe and Harvey distribute an outline of their report. She then went up to Doctor Gallagher and set their prepared output on his desk.“You may start..” He nodded, picking up the folder.Halynn smirked arrogantly.
At the Forrest Research Institute, Diana reported for work on a weekend after taking two weeks leave of absence to settle her schedule.As soon as she entered the building, everyone was able to recognize her. There was not a single person who didn’t know what she looked like. They were also very courteous towards her as she would become the future wife of their boss and also because of her status as a descendant of one of the Great 7.“Isn’t that Diana?” A female employee whispered to another, pointing with her lips.“Shhh.. Why are you calling her by name?” The other reprimanded. She was worried they’ll get in trouble. It was one thing to call these famous people by their name in private, but here and close to the famous person involved, it was just disrespectful. They were not friends to call each other on a first name basis.“Isn’t that her?&rd
He thought for a second and decided that he would like to see it for himself.“I’ll join you guys.. I need to get some work out done. Haha”“Couldn’t you just go to a gym?” Lucas raised an eyebrow at him.“Tsk.. It’s the same routine and environment. I want to try something new..” He said.“New?..” Lucas would have said more but Morris shot him a look.Lucas’s head started to ache. He realized that his younger brother is up to something.Martial arts is not new to them at all. Since young, they have already taken martial arts classes and already got their black belts. After all, they needed to learn how to defend themselves from kidnappers or any of those trying to use them to get something out of their clan.Lucas would still join Diana as his purpose was to be able
Henry stood on the sidewalk. He thought he could finally catch a glimpse of Diana.Since his divorce with Chantal, he has been waiting by the Forrest Research Institute. But to his surprise, he hasn’t seen her go in and out of the building.‘Did she quit work there now that they announced their engagement?’He thought about that but doubted the idea as well.‘Didn’t she say that she didn't want to be a housewife only?’He recalled the time when the Winchester family matched Diana with Dillon Fredric. Back then even Dillon himself told her that she had nothing to worry about if she married him. Her needs and wants would be taken care of. She only has to marry him and stay home.That time, Diana vehemently disagreed. She even emphasized how important her career is.But having waited outside he
That Monday, her classes went without a hitch.Joe Gill and Harvey Johnston would glance at Diana, Lyra and Remi once in a while, thinking of ways to convince them to take them back to the group.But as luck would have it, the Professor has changed the way the groups are formed. By now, the students have already gotten to know each other. Now a single group would consist of six members and they were to choose their group mates by themselves and assign a leader.“Diana, I’m with you..” Cora said right away.“Me too..” Koby said.The two of them were already sitting next to her since the classes started so naturally the other students would understand. They even take lunch together. They wouldn’t even be surprised if Kristopher Alonzo would join them as well.Just then they saw Kristopher approaching Diana’s group, as w
Grabbing her bag, Diana went out and met Lucas at the door.“Let’s go?” She beamed up at him, excited for what’s to come.Lucas stood slightly dazed at the doorstep.Her bright smile washed away the fatigue from work. He noticed that she fixed her hair up in a braid which she doesn’t usually do. It looked good on her. She looked more her age. Especially now with her outfit that just screams Youth. Her clothes perfectly emphasized her curves, especially on her hips and legs.He never thought of himself as an older person. He was only 30 years old. Only 8 years older than her. But his looks are that of what you would expect a Young Lord to look like. He would usually wear suits and ties but now he’s wearing a long-sleeved top and loose pants all in black with a flexible material that would not leave sweat stains. If he were to go walk casually in the park now, for su
