Pretend Boyfriend

On the next day, Diana worked peacefully in the laboratory. She felt relieved that her coworkers all act professionally. They only kept working and not bothering about trampling others, unlike what she experienced back at Hopton Research Institute. It was also a relief that the only other female colleagues in their laboratory are her friends. It has become a routine to go to the cafeteria and eat lunch with them. "Can I sit with you guys?" Liam Branigan said, carrying his tray to their table. Miriam looked up. She recognized their coworker from the laboratory. "Sure." She looked at the other two girls, checking if there's no objection. "Sure." Kate and Diana didn't mind as well. Only then Liam pulled out the chair and sat. "Rupert called in sick today so I have no one to take lunch with. Thanks for let

Fun Day

Riiing! Riiing! The alarm went off in Diana's room. It was Saturday morning and usually she will sleep in for a few more hours. But her friends from work reminded her last night to meet them up in the morning for breakfast at The Modern Harvest, a quaint breakfast restaurant near Kate and Armie's apartment. She was by herself in the apartment today since Heather had an assignment out of town since Monday and will be back on Sunday. Stretching out her limbs, she shook the remaining bits of sleepiness. She moved about, choosing what to wear for the day, checking how it looked on her on the full-length mirror. She got ready quickly and went to meet them at the restaurant. She gave her name to the host of the restaurant and she was led to the booth where Kate Lane, Miriam Chudwell, and Armie Lee are seated. "Diana! You're here!" Miriam exclaimed.

Out On A Sunday

Sunday morning, Diana kept rolling in her bed, making up for the rest she didn't get from the day before. She planned to procrastinate that day. She was reading the book Witches and Bandits all over again. It's the trilogy that she loves. The very one that is being made into a movie. She reread the second book as the second part of the movie will start showing in cinemas soon. She had music playing in her speaker that was connected to her phone until suddenly the music paused, replaced with her ringtone. "Owww" She was so startled, she dropped her book on her face. Taking away the book, she massaged her nose. Frowning, she got up and checked her phone. 'Lucas' The ringing stopped. She was too late to pick it up. 'Should I call him back? What if it's important? Wait, it's a Sunday, what important thing could it be? And beside

Orange Marmalade

"...and a cup of coffee for me." Lucas finished his order, handing the menu to the waiter. This is the second time she came to The Waterfront Well and inside Lucas's private room. Prior to meeting him, she never had the chance to come here. Diana fiddled at the napkin on her lap. 'What is this situation?' "We'll have breakfast first. It's going to be a bit of a drive to the shop we're going to." Lucas explained. "I see." Diana nodded in understanding. She thought for a moment, grasping at a topic to talk about. "So--uh...how's your week?" Lucas crinkled his eyes in amusement, noticing Diana's nervousness. "It was the usual meetings and seminars. What about you? How was your weekend so far?" Lucas smiled, easing her discomfort. "hmm..It was fun." A bright smile appeared on her face as she recalled yeste

Taste

Diana looked around the shop looking for grey suits with white undershirt. She grabbed it and gave it to Lucas for him to try on in the fitting room. While waiting, she kept looking for other suits. She found another one she liked but as she was taking it off from the display, another hand hurriedly grabbed it. When she looked at the hand's owner, she was surprised to see Beatrice, Chantal's friend. "Mine." Beatrice harshly said. Diana was confused as to Beatrice's attitude. "Okay. Have it then." Diana conceded, moving on to look at other suits. When she was about to grab another one, Beatrice hurriedly took it as well. "I got it first." Beatrice raised an eyebrow, challenging her to react. Diana shook her head. "Here. Try this on, Troy. I'm sure you'll look gorgeous. I don't even know why some people are coming here. This i

Spark

"Your acquaintance?" Lucas asked Diana. He didn't recognize the two people. Although Beatrice was there when he first met Diana, she made no impression on him whatsoever. Diana tilted her head. "Not exactly. They are my sister's friends." At this, Lucas's turned frosty. 'Ah. The ones who humiliated her?' Not wasting his breath on those people, he motioned for the sales associate to hand out the packages. Beatrice had to admit that Lucas's image was too incredible. It was as if she was in front of a famous celebrity. 'Where did Diana meet such a person? He's even dressed so elegantly. Surely Diana can't afford to dress him up. I don't think the Winchester family would pamper her the way they do with Chantal.' At that moment, the owner appeared with a sales associate in tow. She must have told the owner

Conman?

At the Moonlit Fork Club, Chantal and Henry's entourage gathered. Taking a sip of her Mojito, Chantal was pensive. Beatrice has just told her what happened back at Giovanni's Thread. She gripped the glass tightly that it's almost about to break. Seeing Chantal's reaction, Henry took her hand in his and massaged it, calming Chantal slightly. "So you're saying that the guy she was with at the party is actually a rich guy?" Leah was curious. "How did she even end up meeting one?" "I know, right?! All she did back at school was study--study--and study. And every time the Winchester Family has an event, she doesn't really go around interacting with anybody." Beatrice recalled. Leah snorted. "You mean, nobody wanted to interact with her. Pfft!" Chantal took a glance at Henry's face, trying to see what his reaction was. Henry was s

Banquet

Diana pursed her lips as she listened to Osmond rant on the phone. His voice was so loud, even Lucas heard it. He held her hand tighter. "We're just parking the car, father." Diana calmly answered. "..Good." At this Osmond finally stopped. But upon realization at Diana's words, he immediately resumed. "We? Who's we? You brought your friend Heather?" "No, I'm not with Heather. I brought my boyfriend. Alright father, I'll hang up now, we're going inside the hall." Diana hung up after they entered the hall where the voices were loud. Hearing the dial tone, Osmond shoved his phone into his pocket. He gritted his teeth in anger. What is she up to now? She said she's already moved on with Henry but why is she still causing a scene? Why would she keep having someone pretend to be her boyfriend? He hurried up to look for Diana, tryi

A Toast

Chantal anticipated for Lucas to make up a story. She expected him to come up with an incredible story to impress the family. Henry on the other hand, quietly listened, waiting for Lucas's answer. Lucas's eyes were frosty, contradictory to the smile playing on his lips. "Chantal!" Diana jumped out of her seat and went closer to Chantal. "Isn't this party about both of you and your fiance?" Wendy sensed the tension on the table. "Is your family into business?" Henry queried, ignoring Diana. He wanted to unmask this fraud. Lucas nodded. "I doubt the Winchester and Ward Families would meet my family in the business world", sounding humble. Not only could he read people's personality, he could even imitate them. Henry squinted his eyes. "Are you saying your family is above ours." He challenged him. If Lucas would take the bait t

Stars

Diana was silent during the drive. A thousand thoughts ran through her head. The memory of her being happy with her family was a distant past already. It seemed like all they do know is becoming more estranged to the other. Will Lucas be discouraged with her? Chantal and the others' behavior at the party wouldn't give anyone a good impression. Can't they be happy for her the way they are happy for Chantal and Henry? Diana wondered if Lucas would change his mind. To be with her meant having to deal with a troubled family life, Glancing at Diana once in a while, Lucas tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. He could sense her somber mood. All he wanted to do at that moment was to take her away from them and never bring her back. He parked a car in the bay area. Diana wondered why they stopped here instead. She followed Lucas
