"Sybil, how about we go straight to the mall?" Diana stopped Sybil, desperate to avoid meeting Brian.

"Diana, if I don't see my brother first, none of his staff will know I am his sister. Then how will I get the clothes for free?" Sybil complained.

"Okay, fine. You can go and see your brother. And, I will wait for you here."

But Sybil wasn't having any of it. She could tell Brian and Diana were stubborn people when it came to love, if she didn't push them, they would never get anywhere.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Diana, I have to make him come shopping with me. You can't avoid seeing him." Sybil pushed Diana forward, giving her no choice but to follow.

The security guards on duty outside Brian's office were newly employed, and none of them had seen Diana and Sybil before, so they stopped them from entering the offices.

"Do you know who I am?" Sybil said irritably.

"Miss, no matter who you are, you can't go into the CEO's office without an appointment."

Seeing their determination, Sybil huffed dramatically and took out her phone to ring Brian. He answered her call immediately.

"Hey, my dear brother. Your people have stopped me from entering your office. And more importantly, your Diana is also with me," Sybil complained sweetly.

The security guards heard the conversation and were instantly nervous, quickly offering their apologies. Sybil ignored them and turned away.

Diana blushed after hearing Sybil say "Your Diana," is designated as 'someone's' made her quite uncomfortable.

Soon, Brian walked out to meet them at the entrance.

Sybil rushed into his arms and said, "Brian, look what your people have done! You should fire them all!"

Sybil was acting very childishly, and Brian ignored her mindless request.

"Don't be silly. They are just doing their job."

Diana was nervous after hearing his voice. And she lowered her head immediately.

Sybil wasn't an unreasonable person. She understood the employees were loyal to Brian's company. She was just dramatic.

Brian's eyes were fixed on Diana. Noticing that, Sybil laughed silently.

"Brian, can you go shopping with me?"

Brian frowned. "Go, ask Ken."

Sybil rolled her eyes. Gosh! She was creating chances for him to be with Diana. Was he really that naive?

"You have to go with me so that you can pay for me. How could I ask Ken to do that? He is not as rich as you."

"How cute, she clearly cares for him," he thought to himself.

Returning his attention to Sybil's request, Brian realized he hadn't done anything for Sybil since she came back. This could be a good opportunity.

"Okay," Brian finally answered.

"Nice! You are the best!" Sybil jumped to Brian and hugged him tightly, and then ran to Ken.

Diana was left behind with Brian. She kept her head lowered.

Brian walked to her and said with a grin, "Diana, did you come here to see me?"

"Brian, don't be silly. Why would I want to see you? I came here to shop with Sybil. If she hadn't invited me, I wouldn't be here."

"Really?" Brian raised his eyebrows. His face showed that he didn't trust Diana's words.

Diana recalled his words from the night before, and her heart beat crazily once again. She quickly mumbled that she was going to look for Sybil and walked away, while Brian followed quietly behind her.

Girls are born to be super fans of shopping. Sybil was certainly immersed in the happiness of shopping, and soon Ken was carrying bags full of things she had bought.

As they walked around the mall, Sybil commented to Brian, "You know, I think you should change your designer. Your clothes are kind of out-dated."

"You are so picky about other people's fashion. Why don't you join my company as a designer?" Brian replied sarcastically.

Though he said it jokingly, Sybil actually took it seriously.

"Well, then Ken could be my personal driver if I work here."

Ken was excited by that prospect and looked at Brian hopefully. Could he really be Sybil's driver and get to see her every day?

Seeing both of their expectant expressions, what began as a joke had quickly become a reality, as Brian nodded in agreement.

"Great!" Sybil rushed to Ken and hugged him.

She had gotten used to being intimate with friends when she studied abroad, and the hug seemed a normal gesture.

But Ken was clearly different, and his face immediately turned red. Luckily, Sybil had turned away already, so she missed his blushing face.

Stopping outside a men's clothing store, Sybil glanced at Ken, then pushed him inside and said, "You are going to be my personal driver. You have to dress nicely. Otherwise, people will think I have bad taste in fashion."

Ken was stunned. Diana was about to follow them when Brian pulled her back.

"Brian, what are you doing?"

"I'm hungry. Let's go for lunch," he uttered. With that, he moved Diana forward before she could refuse him.

Diana took his hint to leave Sybil and Ken alone and quietly followed him.

Now it was time for Diana to face the music. She was still unsure about everything, however, she at least wanted to apologize to Brian for how she reacted. But it was too embarrassing to bring up.

Brian led Diana to a restaurant and ordered a few dishes. It was a small place, with the unusual feature of having all the seats as bench swings. Diana sat beside the window and waited for Brian to say something.

"So Diana, what is your answer about the thing we discussed last night? Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked.

Diana was shocked by Brian's directness, and she coughed on the juice she was drinking.

Brian sat beside her and tapped her gently on the back.

"You don't have to rush," he said with concern.

Diana was again surprised by his gentle actions, so much so that she forgot to push him away.

Once Diana stopped coughing, Brian sat back in his seat. It was still very unclear whether she had any feelings for him at all. Still, he was undeterred.

"You don't have to answer me now," he said, gazing at her intensely. He then added with unwavering confidence, "Diana, you will love me."

Seeing the passion in his eyes, Diana could see he wasn't lying. It was just still so hard to trust him.

Diana was still deep in thought when the food arrived at the table, which provided a welcome excuse not to give an immediate answer.

She turned her focus to the food and tried to hide her anxious look from Brian's keen eyes.
