Chapter 15 - Entering A Trap

Alexander was seen sitting down in their mansion living room. He had a frown on his face as his sister just dropped the news on him; about Stella marrying Shane after his accident. Also about the fact that there is no baby.

But he believes it's possible that his family didn't know about the baby, he will need to confront Stella; as she has a lot of explaining to do.

He had been struggling back on his feet for a couple of days now. He didn't want to appear sickly in front of both Stella and his child.

Only to find out he has been in a coma for so long, he was told how different doctors were summoned from different countries to help wake him. His family was told to give him a peaceful death by pulling the plug; but they never lose hope and now that he's feeling a little bit better; he was scared about what Stella will say in her defense, scared of what news she will give about his child.

He couldn't believe that Stella; who had cried that she didn't want to be forced to marry Shane, after finding out she was tricked to get engaged with him, will willingly marry him after all the happiness and love they shared during their escape before Shane located their whereabouts.

…..

Diana was seen in a meeting room in one of the biggest cooperation she has seen in her entire life, she was putting on a blue long sleeve pleat office wear, she had one of her black scarf around her neck; which tally with the colour of her shoes. Coupled with the wonder of makeup, she look super hot.

There are other companies representatives in the room as well, but she stood out as she usually did; thanks to her mesmerizing shape. All  the representatives are also from the town, it's a cooperative project.

During the meeting, Diana was being eyed by a man, he was a fat man with a perverted look, and shameless; as he didn't even hide his intention. Yet Diana focused on the reason she was there and take notes and also joined in the conversation when her opinion was requested.

The man is a company owner, he lives in the town, so he didn't send in a representative and came himself.

After the successful meeting, which brought a satisfactory smile on Diana's face; she shook hands with everyone, while they said 'looking forward to work with you' as they did.

On the way out of the premises.

"Miss Jade" Diana heard her name and turned back. As expected; it's the fat man with his perverted smile, his eyes glow as he sized Diana up and down.

Diana understood immediately that it is this type of person that causes trouble for someone just to make the submit to him; course if that's not the case, he won't openly behave like this. He is confident about having her.

Diana smiled at him and started loosening her scarf, "how about we have dinner tonight, then we can get to know each other before the next meeting; that way, we will get along pretty well," the man said.

"Excuse me" Diana said and put her scarf inside her bag; before looking and smile brightly at him, revealing her teeth.

The man smiles froze for a sec, before he blinked his eyes repeatedly. "I'm sorry sir, but i need to visit my grandma; as she stays a bit far from this area" Diana said with an apologetic expression.

"You're so nice miss Jade, its fine; so don't worry about it and enjoy yourself," the man said and excused himself, leaving the still smiling Diana.

Diana felt the urge to laugh out loud, "he must feel disappointed," she said in her head and headed out of the big company.

"Hey!" She heard again and wondered who it is this time, but since her name is not 'hey' she kept going without bothering to look back, but she knew its for her.

She felt the person got closer to her and sighed before halting her steps and let the person catch up. If it's another pervert, she's glad her scarf is inside her bag; all she has to do is smile at them.

Two girls appears in front of her, with a smile on their face, its like they were her best friends or something. A blonde with a knee length suit gown, and a brunette with the same outfit.

She recalled that the two of them came in a few minutes after the meeting started, and they didn't contribute to the discussion at all.

"That man is totally into you" the brunette said. Diana was surprised that they didn't seem concerned about her face.

"Not anymore" Diana replied, only a blind wouldn't realize the man's intention.

"I'm Laura, this is my colleague Charlotte" the brunette said. "I'm Diana" she replied to them.

The brunette spread her arm sideways and breathe in and out, "it's good to be back here, it's been a long time since I've been here" she said.

"Me too" Charlotte said.

Diana being the type of person who always got worried when someone is too nice to her; her first thought is always 'what does he/she wants from me'.

But she isn't sensing anything weird from the girls, except that her face didn't brought a disgusted appearance to their faces, which is normal for a sensible human being.

"We want to tour around town before leaving for our home, wanna come with?" Laura asked Diana. "There is a big mall owned by the owner of this company's wife, she's super pretty, i wanna see her, we could drop by the mall and take a peep" Charlotte added.

Diana hasn't had friends before and wondered if this is how it feels to have one, they are so friendly and made her feel like a normal human being.

She finally gave in and felt like its not bad to mingle for once, "count me in" she said.

"Cool!" Laura exclaimed hugging her shoulder which made Diana froze a bit, 'I like them,' she said in her mind.

"Oh! When did you leave this town?" Charlotte asked as they began walking away.

"We moved when I was a baby, I have no memories of this place" Diana replied.

...

Inside an office in the company they just had a meeting in; Shane was listening to Diana conversation with the girls with a smirk. "Take her to the mall and leave my wife and her alone" Shane said.

'Since she was a baby?' Shane asked in his head.

...

Back with the girls, who had just received Shane's order. "Let's head to the mall first, then we can do some small shopping and change our boring office outfit before touring around" Laura said, while Diana and Charlotte nodded and they made their way to Stella mall.
