Chapter 454 - 36: Impressed By His Concentration

Diana went straight to see Kyle and found him in the college laboratory. He was dissecting a rabbit, another task in their joint project. Impressed by his concentration and silence, Diana approached him quietly.

"Kyle, I brought a cup of coffee for you."

Kyle turned and smiled at her, "Have you finished your business?"

Diana fell into silence. She was not a good liar, and she couldn't tell Kyle about things between her and Brian. She hoped it would be finished as soon as possible. But who really knew when all this would come to an end?

After Diana left his question unanswered, Kyle didn't ask again. He wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves. Seeing that, Diana went to offer Kyle a tissue, but she realized he was still conducting the experiment and couldn't take off his gloves. Diana held the tissue in silence. The atmosphere was rather awkward.

Kyle looked at her and said, "If you don't mind, could you help me?"

"Well…" Diana flushed and uttered, "Okay."

Kyle was handsome. As Diana carefully wiped his forehead, she felt it was quite an intimate moment. However, Kyle was entirely focused on the rabbit in his hand. Diana started to think that maybe her excitement was not really justified. It was clear that Kyle was not interested in her. He only asked her to help him to relieve the embarrassment between them.

"Kyle, what could I do for you?"

"There is a stopwatch for recording data over there. Could you check the timer and tell me how much time is left?"

Kyle spoke in his normal tone. Diana was sure her feeling that there might be something between them was just nonsense.

The experiment took another hour, though Diana's patience ran out long before it was over. She walked in and out of the laboratory. She played on her phone and watched the time tick by. It seemed that she hadn't come here at a good time, as Kyle was busy with the experiment.

After what seemed like forever, she heard Kyle let out a long, relieved breath behind her.

"Finished?" It should have been the two of them completing the experiment, yet Diana's tone made it seem like he had kept her waiting.

Kyle was slightly baffled by Diana's impatience. He grabbed a cup of coffee and took a well-earned sip. But he acted so quickly that Diana had no time to mind him that cup of coffee was hers.

Kyle smiled at her and said, "That's great coffee. Thank you."

"You've had a long day. Kyle, let's go for dinner. I'll treat you." Diana threw the other cup of coffee into the bin and quietly followed him out of the lab.

Rubbing his wrists, Kyle opened a cabinet and handed a paper bag to Diana. "Diana, you don't have much time left to complete your work. This is the doc.u.ment of my experiments so you can see what I've done."

Kyle held the paper bag easily, while for Diana, it was like holding a huge bag of rocks. Kyle was quite strong, Diana noted. Together with his charming smile, he was gorgeous.

"You can ask me if there's anything you're not sure about." Kyle picked up his coat and put it on. "Where are you heading for the dormitory? I could give you a ride."

Diana was still dumbstruck, thinking of Kyle's good looks. Kyle reached out his arms to gently pull Diana out of the room and stood beside her to lock the door. He did this all so quickly and smoothly that Diana became enveloped in his manly fragrance.

"Let's go, Diana."

The image of Kyle waving at her under the setting sun was deeply carved in Diana's mind. It was so fantastic and beautiful.

On the way back to the dormitory, Diana continued thinking about Kyle's charming smile. Compared with Brian, Kyle was like an angel. If all men acted like Kyle, women would be overwhelmed with joy and happiness.

"Diana."

Diana heard Antonette's sweet and soft voice. What she was going through could only be discussed with Antonette. Diana wanted to talk with her about what had happened recently. "Antonette, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Diana's silly enthusiasm, Antonette felt angry and instantly loathed Diana. Brian must be blind to fall in love with her. But thinking of how she would use Diana in the future, Antonette hid her hatred and smiled to interrupt Diana's words, "Diana, we haven't eaten together for a while. How about eating outside when you're free?"

Holding a bag of doc.u.ments, Diana recalled that she had just promised Kyle she would study hard. And who knew when Brian would call her to his villa. How could she spare time to eat outside?

Diana's roommates all looked at her. Whilst Diana was not in the dormitory, Antonette had told them all that Diana had a rich boyfriend. Her roommates were annoyed that she kept such a secret and looked harshly at her.

Diana didn't know why they were looking at her in that way. Antonette smiled at her sweetly and said, "It's okay. We can go next time when you aren't busy."

"No, I…"

Antonette quickly interrupted her and said, "Great! How about tomorrow morning?"

"Okay." Diana wasn't too anxious. It was just a meal. It won't take long.

The next morning, Diana got to the restaurant on time. Antonette met her at the door, and they chatted happily. Deep in conversation, Diana didn't notice that Antonette led her to a booth in the restaurant where she saw several unfamiliar girls.

Diana was bemused and asked, "Antonette, what's going on here?"

Before Antonette could answer, two of the girls stood up and pulled Diana down to the table. "Diana, the beauty, come and sit!"

Diana had no idea what was going on. She looked at Antonette confusedly. Antonette smiled and said, "Diana. The seats outside were all occupied, and I met these girls here by chance. We are old school classmates. So, I suggested that we eat together."

Antonette turned her back to Diana and wore a dreadful smile. She was waiting to see what Diana would do with what was about to happen.

"Diana…" began one girl.

"How could you address her in that way?" Another girl interrupted and smiled at Diana. She said sweetly, "We are going to call our little beauty, Miss Anderson."

Diana started to grow suspicious. She didn't know how to reply. She didn't even know these girls.

"Miss Anderson, you gotta help us out. What is the key to making friends with rich guys? Tell us." Everyone knew what she meant by "making friends". They all looked at Diana. Their sights were so earnest that Diana felt like she was being scorched by fire.
