Chapter 481 - 63: Who’s That Man

Diana took a deep breath and brushed her fringe with her hand. She didn't want to cry. She couldn't cry! She hadn't done anything wrong. All those people who mistreated her should be sorry!

Diana took out her phone and called Ken. Brian William was the last man she wanted to talk to. She even wondered whether it was he that sent Carol to meet her. Her call was answered immediately.

"Ken, I have something to tell you."

"Miss Anderson, I haven't seen you for days. Why don't you call my boss?"

Ken's words almost made Diana laugh out loud. Diana paused and then said, "If you are free now, please come to see me. I have something important to tell you."

Her tone made Ken think it must be a serious topic.

"Where are you?" he asked.

Walking out of the café, Diana looked around and said, "I am in the HaloMart, at the West City Mall. You'll find me on the first floor."

"Okay, see you there."

Diana asked Ken to meet her in Halo Mart because her clothes were stained, and she didn't want him to see. So, she decided to buy herself some sportswear in the shop.

Sometime later, Ken called. "Miss Anderson, I have arrived. Where are you?"

"Wait a minute. I am just on the second floor." Finishing the call, Diana put on the cheap sportswear and ran out.

Ken was just stepping out of his Porsche when Diana came out onto the street. She saw Ken's handsome face at once and waved in his direction.

There were a lot of people milling around outside the mall. Many of them looked at Diana and Ken in jealousy, young girls, in particular, were in awe of Ken's good looks.

"Who's that man?"

"He is so handsome! Is that his girlfriend?"

Noticing the stares they were receiving, Diana pulled her hat lower and ushered only into a McDonalds.

They sat down in a quiet corner. Diana took out the cheque and put it on the table.

"What is it?" Ken was confused and looked at the cheque. He was so shocked that he almost jumped out of his seat.

"That's from Miss Jefferson! How did she find you?" Ken was stunned.

Diana shrugged her shoulders and said, "I have no idea."

Ken was smart. He had already guessed what might have happened. He frowned at Diana and asked, "Why did you take it?"

"Why did I take her cheque? She forced me to take it!" Diana replied angrily.

Ken was speechless.

Seeing his face, Diana shrugged her shoulders and tapped nervously at the table. "Well, you know what's going on now. Brian' fiancée found me and gave me a strong warning. I have to stay away from him."

"But…" Ken tried to change her idea.

Diana knew what he was thinking. Actually, she was sad too. But there was nothing she could do. What kind of message would it send if she continued going to see Brian? That she wanted to be his mistress?

Shaking her head, Diana said, "Please take this cheque to your boss and ask him to give it back to Miss Jefferson. And ask Miss Jefferson to stop getting involved in my life."

"What about you?" Ken couldn't help asking. "You still have a contract with my boss? If you leave in this way, he will…"

"Stop!" Diana raised her hand and interrupted Ken.

"I will manage my own things. You don't have to worry about me." Diana lowered her head and took a slow sip of her drink.

"Miss Anderson, this whole situation makes me feel terrible." Ken knew Diana was good for his boss; he didn't want her to stop seeing him.

Diana laughed at him, "How about me? Did I deserve to have money thrown at me and treated like a mistress?"

Ken couldn't think of anything more to say.

Diana finished the food she'd ordered and stood up to leave.

"Goodbye, Ken," she said mournfully.

"I can drive you," Ken replied.

It was nice to hear Ken say that, but Diana refused him. "You are Brian's staff. Now, Miss Jefferson hates me, so does your boss. You should stay away from me."

Diana ignored Ken's sad face and waved him goodbye. She picked up her bag and left the restaurant.

Ken frowned, unsure what to do. He looked at the cheque and decided he had to explain it to Brian.

***

After arriving back at the villa, Ken went directly to Brian' room.

His room was open, and a man was standing by the shelf.

"Boss, I have something important to tell you!" Ken was so anxious that he didn't stop to see who the man was.

"What's that?" replied the man.

Hearing Simon William's voice, Ken froze in fear.

Simon William looked at him with sharp eyes and asked, "What are you holding?"

Ken's forehead was covered with sweat. "Nothing…"

"Give it to me." Simon reached out his hand.

Ken shivered and walked slowly to Simon and handed him the cheque.

"Miss Jefferson's cheque? Ken, where did you get this?" Simon was shocked.

Ken had always been a bad liar, especially when he was talking to Simon William. Before long, he explained to Simon what had been going on and said, "Actually, Miss Anderson is a nice girl. I think Miss Jefferson was too arrogant this time, too defensive."

"Since when are you in a position to judge Miss Jefferson?" Simon interrupted.

After a while, Simon gave Ken his orders, "Since it has already happened, you don't have to tell Brian about it. That girl gave up the cheque voluntarily, there's nothing more to it. Do not meet her again. Understand?"

Ken heard Simon's words and was happy to hear he would not be punished; it was a great relief.

Simon put the cheque into his pocket and waved Ken away, "You can go now."

Ken was absent-minded and stayed looking at Simon.

Simon glanced at him, coldly, "What are you looking at? Go!"

Ken regained his composure and quickly left the room.
