"You have to sit for a while, I hope you won’t mind!" as he drives away from the airport terminal, Kian says apologetically to Diamond.
Diamond, however, smiled assuredly at him and replied, "I don’t mind sitting for a while. Besides, aren’t you with me? We can spend more time together, so nothing to fret about."
"That’s true. I am glad that you have come to visit me."
"I should have done this a long time ago, but work swamped me."
"That is why I am grateful."
"Between lovers, why be courteous?"
The two looked at each other before bursting into laughter.
Diamond later found out that the drive to where Kian was staying was two hours, so the two had a lot of time to spend before they could reach home.
It would have been nice to chat along the way, but Diamond, who had started an event, was required to finish it.
So, when the competition came to an end, Garnet contacted her and once again, Diamond had to go to work.
Kian was understanding, so he just let her work. After all, it wasn’t going to take a lot of time.
So, in the next two hours, Diamond was busy as she screened the authenticity of the photos sent by numerous contestants.
By the time they reached Kian’s house, Diamond set her phone aside as she looked at the magnificent country house that was in front of her.
Built on a sizable piece of land with more than half of it set aside, probably for farming and gardening, the house looked extraordinarily beautiful.
A fence, which made trespassing to be very difficult, enclosed the yard. After passing the fence, the house was enclosed once again with a screen wall which separated the house from the land. Diamond could see that he didn’t use it that much.
When she got inside the house, the colors were very warm and made one feel comfortable at home.
The rooms were spacious and plenty, which was quite good. And what she loved was the master bedroom, which came with a huge bed, very soft and comfortable to sleep on.
As long as the bed was comfortable, Diamond could stay anywhere. She didn’t have to be too picky when it wasn’t her place.
So, everything else satisfied her greatly.
"Welcome, my lady. I hope that you will enjoy your stay here!" feeling humorous, Kian made a slight bow to Diamond who was kicking her legs playfully as she tested the bed.
Diamond grinned at him as her legs stopped kicking and she called for him using her forefinger, feeling more playful and said, "I will enjoy it, as long as long as you keep me company!"
"And accompanying you, that’s what I will do!" he responded smilingly as he walked towards her, his gaze on her, never leaving.
Diamond looked at the man, who had always looked like a gentleman and yet deep down inside, she knew that there was no way he was like that.
No gentleman would push his lover to others or accept such conditions she brought up several months ago. And there was definitely no gentleman who looked like a beast that wanted to devour her until nothing was remaining.
However, some things always happen unexpectedly without warning that were too strong to disrupt the wonderful and sizzling moments.
And that became the case for the two lovebirds.
Diamond embarrassingly looked at her stomach, which had started grumbling just when Kian was so close to her and she was ready to fall. She felt so embarrassed.
How could her stomach complain about hunger at this moment?
Didn’t it know when to complain before but just had to mess up the moment?
Even Kian was speechless. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry about this situation.
Must he blame her stomach for being hungry and disrupting what was about to happen?
He didn’t dare to do anything and, at the same time, he didn’t know what to do to reduce the awkwardness.
Fortunately, they were both saved when Diamond’s phone rang.
"I will go and prepare dinner. You can go back to work!" Kian managed to say that before he fled from the bedroom.
Seeing him leaving after saying that, Diamond chuckled softly, her eyes squinting as warmth spread all over her body.
’He is cute!’ she complimented before answering the phone.
After hearing what the other had to say, Diamond began to be busy once again.
[DIAMOND (V): Everyone has submitted what I have asked for and after several rounds of verifications, 10,000 contestants have been approved. The rest failed due to many reasons and I hope that you won’t force me to say it here.]
[To get the top 100 as I spoke about earlier. We will now start several rounds of judging and all of you will become the judges. We will start with the first round. We will be eliminating half of the contestants. So, vote for your favorite contestants.]
[Each person can vote for five contestants. So, make your votes worth it. The first session will end in thirty minutes. I wish you all the best!]
With that, Diamond was done for the moment.
While her message was causing havoc online, Diamond didn’t have time to worry about their responses. That was why there were Garnet and Andrea to assist her.
Diamond took the time that Kian was cooking to refresh herself. She had been too impatient. She nearly seduced Kian when she had been too sweaty like that.
How could she allow herself to roll in the sheets when all sweaty and dirty?
So, she took this time to survey the bathroom, where she opened the tap to fill the tub slowly before disappearing into the Golden Space. Inside the space, Diamond took a wonderful bath before returning to the bathroom, where she found the water still dripping in.
She increased the force of the tap, and shortly the tub was full of water. She prepared a bubble bath and soaked her body for like ten minutes before climbing out.
She dried her body with the alchemy fire since she didn’t have time to go the traditional route.
After searching through her clothes, Diamond picked a pink silk nightdress and donned the matching gown on top of it.
Instead of wasting time by wearing clothes and then changing later, why not just wear them once?
When she was done, she checked the phone and saw that the thirty minutes were almost up.
She looked through the comments, laughing now and then as she read what the fans were sending.
When the thirty minutes were up, the system automatically removed the contestant who didn’t make it, so five thousand contestants remained.
[DIAMOND (V): In the next round, we will be eliminating four thousand contestants and each person can vote for five people. The voting session will end in thirty minutes. All the best, everyone!]
