My Billionaire Husband

Looking at Brian's walk away, Diana was so irritated by his tone. She had never met a man who could so easily annoy her with such few words. Damn it!

Diana was in no mood to have dinner anymore. She roughly put the rest of her things into her suitcase, then dragged it down the stairs to the door.

Brian was standing by the door, a peaceful look on his face.

"Are you leaving now?"

"Yes, right now," Diana said through gritted teeth.

"I can ask Ken to take you."

Diana was about to refuse him but realized she would be the one to suffer if she refused his help. So she accepted his offer.

Brian called Ken and Diana smiled at him as he trotted over.

"Ken, I haven't seen you for days."

Ken knew what had happened between Brian and Diana. He looked happily at Diana and said, "Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Diana was puzzled. "Congratulations?"

Brian swiftly interrupted before the conversation could get any further, "Ken, you talk too much. Just take her to school."

Looking at Brian's face, Ken guessed Brian didn't want anyone else to know about it. So, he answered immediately, "Yes, boss!"

Diana was still confused, but Ken was already leading her to the car, Diana didn't ask anymore.

Ken looked at Diana in his rearview mirror and asked with a smile, "So, what is your plan, Miss Anderson?"

Diana was confused. She didn't understand why Ken asked that. She thought for a while and then answered, "Well, I don't have a specific plan. I will see you in the future. I just hope I can make a living and find a job."

Her response reminded Ken that Diana was truly a wonderful girl. She was with Brian, and yet she still wanted to work to support herself. On the other hand, Brian would never allow Diana to work away from him; he cared too much for her and had gotten used to having his way. "They are going to have many arguments in the future," Ken thought.

Diana, however, was worried about something else. She knew she would be graduating soon. What if she couldn't find a job? It was often difficult for a traditional Chinese medicine major to find a decent job. Many had to work as an assistant in a clinic after graduation. What's worse, she was trapped by Brian's contract.

Diana despaired at her situation.

As they approached the school gate, Ken asked Diana if he should drop her off at her dormitory.

Thinking of all those girls longing to see Ken's handsome face, Diana hesitated. If she arrived at school with two different handsome men, those girls might want to kill her!

It was so horrible a thought that Diana shivered. She refused Ken's kindness and said, "I'd better go in alone. It's inconvenient for you to get to my dormitory, and it isn't a long way. Thank you."

"Miss Anderson, you are so sweet." Ken smiled at Diana.

Diana thought Ken was quite strange today; he kept praising her, which he didn't normally do. She felt embarrassed at his flattery.

Finally, Ken dropped Diana off and drove away.

Diana finally arrived at her dormitory, suitcase in hand. Antonette was waiting there for her, and luckily for Diana, the other roommates were not back yet.

The atmosphere in the dormitory was sure to be hostile. Diana thought it would be better for her to stay at the library as long as possible.

"Diana, there you are," Antonette said cheerily.

Diana raised her head and smiled. "Yeah, how about having dinner together?"

"Good idea. I will treat you today. I am so sorry about what happened yesterday."

Antonette's words made Diana feel terrible. As Antonette had said, it was just the waiter's mistake with the room.

But thinking of the cheque Brian had promised to give her, Diana smiled and said, "Well, you treat me tonight, and I will take you to a nice restaurant later too."

Antonette knew Diana was special to Brian, so she couldn't stop being friends with her. At least, not before she had used Diana to get what she wanted.

To make it up to Diana, Antonette decided to treat her well. She took Diana to the deluxe restaurant beside their school.

"Diana, you can order anything you want. Take it as my apology," Antonette said gently.

Diana was touched. "It was not your fault. Really, Antonette, you are too nice."

Antonette was thankful she'd gotten away with her role in the incident.

Diana ordered various luxurious dishes, including lobster, crab, and other expensive seafood. Antonette felt depressed to think of the bill she would end up with at the end, but she had to pretend to be generous and happy.

"Diana, enjoy it. I have earned a lot from my part-time jobs. I can afford it."

"Really?" Diana was elated.

Antonette found Diana was not good at picking up on her hints that she was unhappy.

Diana continued eating, polishing off the second bowl of king prawns when a gentle voice called her name from behind.

"Diana, I haven't seen you for days. Where have you been?"

Diana raised her head immediately after hearing this familiar voice. Seeing Kyle's handsome face, Diana smiled happily. "Kyle, how are you these days?"

Kyle grinned back at her and turned to Antonette, "May I join you guys?"

Antonette was longing for a chance to meet Kyle, but she pretended to be shy.

"Of course. What have you been up to, Kyle?"

Kyle didn't like Antonette. He replied politely, "I have been helping the professor with the project, so I'm pretty busy."

Diana didn't notice their emotions. She just wanted to eat everything she could. After all, she rarely had a nice meal with Brian. The only pleasant one recently was in Kate's house, and that was another of Brian's tricks. How miserable!

Kyle had been thinking long and hard about the conversation he'd had with Simon about Diana. Simon had presented him with a rare chance which he did not want to let go. Still, he didn't want to give up Diana either. He really loved her.
