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
“Tche.. You two don’t take care of your younger brother..Hmp..” Morris continued to whine but still walked his way to the vending machine near the front desk.He chose a bottle of water then swiped his card before taking the bottle from the bottom.Uncapping the bottle as he turned his way back, he noticed one of the male students trying to engage Katherine in conversation. He drank a few gulps of water as he walked, almost getting near the two.“Come on.. Give me your number.. It’s not like we’re still strangers. Just one date..Come on..” The male student tried to convince her. His arms were crossed in front, making his chest protrude.“Rick.. I don’t give out my phone number to anybody.. Also I’m not available for dates.” She told him, taking out a towel from her bag.“Really now.. Don’t be playing ha
Standing in front of her students, the petite woman showed them the basic steps first. Earlier they have reviewed the stances and punches. Now they will learn to block.“Start with your blocking arm placed at the ear and non-blocking arm placed at the height of your belly button. Slide your blocking arm downwards along the other arm as it goes downwards and simultaneously bring the non-blocking arm to the hip position. Step into the front stance as you finish the downward block technique.” Katherine instructed, her voice clear and loud.The students however were struggling where to put their arms. Some would accidentally hit their face instead while others are doing it too fast and mixing it with other moves that they’ve seen in movies, trying to impress the others. The new students who were on the far left however were quietly following the steps.Diana even looked to have experience in martial arts as
The group who just left the martial arts school didn’t go home right away. They stopped by The Waterfront Well.Katherine was quiet the whole way, feeling awkward that it’s just her and Morris other than the driver up front. It’s not everyday that you get to ride in the same car as one of your bosses.A short while after they left the school, the car stopped and when she looked out it was the most luxurious restaurant in the country owned by The Hargreave family, one of the 7 Great families.Speechless, she could only follow Morris out of the car.“Umm.. Sir?” She looked at Morris who was walking towards the entrance.“Eh? Why are you still there? Let’s go..” He beckoned to her after he noticed that she was lagging behind.She gulped the saliva stuck in her throat, and followed him in.The h
Morris was also happy with this outcome. He could see that Katherine really has a passion for Martial Arts.How good it is to see someone being passionate about something?At the airport, the swarm of people were busy as usual arriving and departing.“Yes, I just got off the plane. Hmm.. Have you seen him lately?...No.. He could be busy.. Tsk.. He hasn’t replied to my messages or calls...As long as there’s no problem.. Okay.. Yeah.. Bye..” The woman in her long trench coat said in her cold voice on the phone.Dragging her small luggage, she proceeded to the exit. She didn’t need to claim any baggage as she had already sent someone to bring it beforehand.She thought she would be picked up by her fiance as soon as she arrived. ‘He should be here if he knows I’ll be back already.’She grimaced at the thought
