A few days had passed and Ryan and Diana had become even closer. With the way things were, Diana couldn't help but deny the fact that she had started to have feelings for Ryan. Her heart had already started to ache for him when they would go for a long time without seeing each other.That's where the problem was, her heart. It wanted Ryan but her mind was telling her that she shouldn't be catching feelings for him. Everytime she saw him talking to another woman, she couldn't help but start to feel a bit jealous. How was this possible?It started like a bet and now she was getting jealous? This can't be. To her, the endless fight of what the mind wants versus what the heart wants was getting a bit too intense. This internal fight that a lot of people have experienced at one point in their lives was now a thing that she had to fight. All her life, she didn't think that she would have been in those shoes.She could sense that Mitchell saw it too and with every chance that she got, Mitche

It was already evening and Diana and Mitchell were just arriving at the gala in the cab that Ryan had sent to pick them.When they saw him, both their jaws hit the floor not expecting him to clean up so good. For a split second,they imagined that he was a higher up in the upper class of people who ran the city.Ryan too was impressed by their dress code. For two city girls who gave the vibe of indoor girlies, they definitely knew how to dress when the occasion was at their doorstep. Ryan hugged both of them and with a broad smile, turned to walk them into the building."A gala? Impressive," Mitchell commented as they were walking through the front door to the building.It was one of Georgia's museums that had been flipped upside down just to cater for the gala. The walls were painted all white and there was a large open room immediately after the front door where everyone congregated and talked.All around,the girls could see prominent faces of the city and country talking in groups a

Meanwhile Outside:Ryan walked past Justina who was standing with security guards at the entrance. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. After their last interaction,he thought that he wouldn't have to see Justina's face again but it seemed that that was now becoming somewhat of an impossibility.Following him to his new apartment was one thing, trying to seduce him when she walked to the door and knocked was another,but this one right here was a whole different thing. She has practically followed him and tried to get in the gala as if she didn't expect him to notice her presence. Everytime they met, he got more reasons as to why their relationship never worked and will never ever try to patch things up again.He could hear the sound of her heels clicking on the sidewalk behind her. He could tell that she was just right behind him and trying to catch up with him. After taking a few paces to a distance which he was certain that Diana and Mitchell couldn't see him, he put his arms on

A few days had passed with Ryan and Diana not talking to each other. To make matters worse, Diana had seen Ryan a few times at Global Tech but everytime their eyes met, he immediately changed his focus and went on to do what he was doing avoiding her even more.All this while, Mitchell kept telling Diana that this was just a thing that will pass. However, Mitchell also wondered why Diana was so much bothered by the fact that Ryan wasn't talking to her.This went on to prove that somewhere along the line, Diana had actually started developing feelings for each other. For Mitchell,this was good since she wanted Diana to be happy. Despite the bet that they had going on, she believed that if Diana was to fall in love with Ryan, then she wouldn't want anything less for her but just pure happiness.Every evening that Diana came back home, Mitchell could see she was troubled even though she didn't want to admit it. She seemed off from the night of the gala given that Ryan was not picking her

Looking at both of them, Christian got up from his seat and picked up his jacket."And where are you going?" Olivia asked as they turned their attention to Christian."I see that this is a work related issue,and I'm on break from any work related things so, bye," he responded as he started heading out."You know you can give your insight on whatever Olivia might have brought to me," Ryan called out from across the room.Down the hall, Christian stopped, turned around and said,"Both you and Olivia have elevated your company to heights you never thought you would reach. I'm sure no matter what challenges you both face at work, with your combined minds you are capable of figuring something out."What the didn't know was that Christian had stepped out so that Ryan could be alone with Olivia. He always wanted the two of them to end up together for the longest time and he was hoping that with the way things were going between Ryan and Diana,maybe it was a possibility that Olivia would step
