The next morning, Diana came out of her bedroom and found Daniel was packing his stuff.

"Daniel, are you leaving?"

"Yes, the director of the lab called me back for the new program. Are you happy now?" Daniel raised his head and looked at Diana.

Diana had been so eager to see Daniel go. But now he was leaving and she felt quite sad.

"It's okay. I am leaving, but I know you will be happy with Brian."

Daniel reached out his hand and rubbed Diana's hair. And then he walked downstairs with his suitcase. He had already called a taxi, which was waiting for him outside. He waved goodbye to Diana then got into the cab.

That evening, everyone was back together in the house.

Ken and Sybil were sitting together, the absolute picture of happiness.

Diana envied them. She and Brian had encountered so many difficulties, while the couple in front of her was so sweet.

When Brian sat down to join them, Sybil pulled at Ken's arm and gestured towards Brian.

Ken rubbed his head and, with an unusual nervousness, before saying, "Boss, can Sybil move into my house?"

The request caught Brian totally by surprise. He looked at Sybil, who was deliberately avoiding eye contact with him.

"It must be Sybil's idea."

Although she too was nervous, Sybil couldn't deny her feelings and eagerly agreed, "Yes, please!!"

"Okay." Brian nodded.

"Really?" Sybil didn't expect Brian would say yes so easily. She was so happy that she could cry.

Brian nodded and stressed to Ken, "Take care of her. I know you will."

With Sybil and Ken upstairs packing her stuff, this finally left Diana alone with Brian. Feeling embarrassed, Diana turned to the bedroom.

"Diana, wait… I am sorry." Brian apologized for his bad temper and attitude in what had happened yesterday.

"It doesn't matter." Diana acknowledged that she also did something improper and added, "I should have told you when Kyle asked me out. I am sorry. He called me very suddenly, and I left straight away," Diana explained.

Hearing her explanation, Brian was relieved.

Brian hugged Diana and said, "Diana, we need to tell each other what is going on in the future. Okay?"

"Okay." Leaning on Brian's body, Diana nodded. She didn't want to see them quarrel for unnecessary misunderstandings.

Brian leaned in but just when he was about to kiss her, his phone rang.

"Damn it!" Brian cursed.

"Answer it." Diana pushed him to receive the call.

Brian took out his phone.

"Vera?"

Diana was stunned. Was she the girl Diana had seen beside the café earlier that day?

"What? I will be there soon," Brian said nervously.

"What's going on?" Diana inquired.

Brian looked worried. "It's Vera. She is in trouble."

Diana hated seeing Brian worry about another girl. But it seemed that Vera was really in need. She couldn't be mean at that moment. "Go!"

Brian nodded and ran to the door. However, just seconds later, he burst back in and took Diana's hand. "Come with me!"

He had just promised that they wouldn't quarrel and didn't want to upset Diana for something so trivial.

Diana was touched and squeezed his hand. "Okay."

Together they got in Brian's car and headed out to the bar that Vera had mentioned in her phone call.

There were many men standing around Vera, and they all looked quite furious. Seeing Brian, Vera ran and hid behind him, holding onto his arm.

Conscious that Diana was watching them, Brian shrugged Vera's arm off his, then turned to the men who were still staring angrily at them.

"What do you want?" Brian shouted.

One man came forward and said, "You should ask her!"

Brian frowned and looked at Vera. "What's going on?"

Vera cried out, "They want to kill me. Save me, Brian!"

The man shouted back at her, "Bitch! If it wasn't for you, my boss wouldn't have been arrested by the cops!" He took another step toward Vera and tried to grab her. Vera hid behind Brian and seized his arm again.

Finally, Brian had enough. He took out a cheque from his wallet, on which he wrote down a rather large sum, and then signed his name. Giving it to the man, he said, "This is for your troubles. Can I take her now?"

The man looked Brian up and down. Judging from Brian's clothes and behavior, he thought he was trustworthy and waved his guys back.

"Let's go!" Before leaving, he stared at Vera and smiled menacingly.

"Brian, I was so scared." Vera sobbed and pushed her head into Brian's c.h.e.s.t. Brian was surprised at her outburst but then reached out his hand and patted her gently on the back.

Standing beside them, Diana was watching everything, getting increasingly uncomfortable.

Vera's sobs eventually subsided, and she wiped her eyes. She smiled at Diana as if she hadn't noticed Diana until just then.

"Brian, can I stay at your house tonight? I am afraid. What if they go looking for me at my home tonight?" Vera pressed her lips as if she was going to cry again.

Brian was embarrassed. Looking at Diana, he said, "Diana, what do you think?"

Diana smiled at him and said, "Up to you."

"Diana, you are so nice." Brian gave Diana a big hug.

Seeing their embrace, Vera clenched her fists tightly behind her back.

As they left the bar, Vera stuck close to Brian's side, leaving Diana to walk sadly behind them. Vera smiled sweetly as she chatted with Brian and again linked her arm with his.

Brian also looked happy and smiled back at Vera.

And as Vera was walking beside Brian, she turned around and smirked at Diana, as if she had defeated her in some way.

Diana couldn't believe how this woman was behaving. She had to do everything she could to stop herself from making a scene.

To Diana, it felt like they were the real couple, and she was just a passer-by following them.
