The next day, Diamond woke up naturally around six and went to the gym for her morning exercise before washing up.
After a wash-up, Diamond, who didn’t have any groceries in her house, could only resort to going to the restaurant for breakfast before heading to the manor.
Ever since she got the manor, she hadn’t visited the place, and it was one of the reasons why she came to Dielas, apart from seeing her lover.
Planning to stop by the restaurant first and then head to the underground parking where her car was, another navy-blue Dentley, a Dentley D15, which reminded her so much of the one in Srad. Although, this one was a four-door and not a two-door one like the HJZ.
This one was from a previous model, the D-series and it was around four million, and not eight just like the HJZ.
Diamond packed her necessities in her bag and prepared to head out.
As someone who was visiting her manor, she didn’t dare dress casually but tried her best to look friendly, approachable and formal at the same time. Call it half-half, or so she thought.
With everything sorted, Diamond walked to the door, opened it and then froze.
"Good morning~" and then a cheerful voice came as Vivian stood by her door waving excitedly at her.
Sizing Vivian, Diamond noticed that Vivian had indeed taken the pill she sold at a dramatic price yesterday, which was actually discounted.
It was the first time she had actually sold her pills, as most of them were given to her family, and recently to Kian.
When Diamond felt the click and connection to Vivian, she wanted to get close to her. And that prompted her to not just advertise the creams but pills as well. Rather than the beauty pill, she sold the water pill, known for its detoxification.
As long as all the fifth in the body were cleansed, a person’s beauty could be brought out.
Diamond could see that Vivian had indeed changed, which was a good thing. She would hate it if she had to refund the money and get her reputation tarnished because it didn’t work.
"Good morning to you, too. I can see that you are happy with the results!" Diamond responded with the same enthusiasm as she closed the door behind her.
Grinning widely, unable to contain her happiness, Vivian took large strides towards Diamond and suddenly her arms with hers.
"Diamond, you rock dear! You are a lifesaver. You don’t know how much this pill did for me. I am thankful, which is why I have been waiting for a while now. You haven’t eaten breakfast yet, right? How about you have it at my house? at the same time, I can give you feedback. What do you think?"
Diamond was bombarded by so many questions; would she dare to reject? Besides, the customer was happy. So, she could only set aside her plans. Furthermore, she was going to get a free breakfast. Why say no and make herself suffer?
That was how Diamond found herself in Vivian’s house for the second time. Breakfast was hearty, and she enjoyed eating it every second.
Throughout the meal, she listened to Vivian’s testimony and praise, which made the corner of her lips remain hooked throughout the process.
After breakfast and all, while sending Diamond off, Vivian suddenly asked, taking Diamond aback for a moment, "D ... this .... Do you happen to have something that can keep a person healthy? You know my husband is older and .... Alas .... I love him so much, to be honest, and lately, although I don’t want to admit it, his body is having issues. Can you help me? Can this pill be used on him?"
Bombarded with serious questions from a sincere person who she happens to like, Diamond couldn’t resist.
"The water pill I gave you is not for healing, it’s only for cleansing the body and the system. Although it might reduce some ailments, it is not a long-term solution. However, you can use it with your husband. I don’t have something that can make sicknesses go away, but I can help ask the alchemist. He should have something. Last time he was making body strengthening pills, he said that they are good for the body," she responded without giving Vivian exactly what she wanted.
If she let people know that she could casually take out such pills, wouldn’t she be a target?
She wasn’t that strong to protect everyone yet. Although there were guards now, they wouldn’t be able to make a move if, let’s say, she attracted the attention of anyone in the government.
Upon hearing that, however, Vivian’s face lit up.
"That’s good. As long as I can get it, it’s fine. How much is the body strengthening pill?" since she knew the price of the water pill, she no longer needed to ask about its price but the new pill, she wasn’t aware.
With a moment of hesitation, Diamond later opened her mouth and uttered a price.
Vivian’s eyes opened wide, unable to comprehend what she had just heard.
"Is ..... that is the price? D ... isn’t that a bit too expensive?" Vivian asked, her brows scrunching, unable to accept what her ears had just heard.
Diamond shrugged her shoulders as she said, "I like you a lot. Which is why I sold you my pill at a discounted price. But for the next pills, I am afraid that there is nothing that I can do. You should understand that this is something that you won’t be able to find on the streets or anywhere. And the alchemist has a temper. There is nothing I can do!" her expression was a bit distressed, using the alchemist who didn’t exist to make her stand clear.
Although she liked Vivian a lot, Diamond, who had heard the real prices of such pills on the black market, nearly stumbled. Thankfully, she was resilient and kept steady, otherwise, she would have embarrassed herself.
Thinking about the price, she sold the water pill to Vivian; she felt her heartache. However, when she thought that she had made a friend, though now it wasn’t certain whether they would continue doing so after this price revelation, she didn’t regret it.
Upon hearing that, Vivian sighed dejectedly before saying, "This, do you mind if I talk to my husband later? This amount of money isn’t something that I can use without letting him know!"
Diamond nodded her head, understandably. "Sure. You can take your time. I will ask him if he has other pills and tell you the prices. This way you can check which ones suit you the most!" not forget about promoting her side hustle, she said.
Vivian, seeing Diamond’s sincerity, didn’t suspect anything. After all, there was no way she would think for a second that Diamond was the black-bellied alchemist.
The title didn’t suit her at all, and these people were like myths. Her knowing one wouldn’t be surprising. After all, rich people tend to know unique people after all.
"Sure. Just holla me."
"I will. And can you keep for me five bottles of the cream if you still have them?"
"Sure. I will pass them on to you when we meet next. I need to go somewhere!"
The two ladies bid each other farewell, and Vivian watched Diamond heading for the elevator with a complicated expression.
