A week later...
Diana dug into her food in her dining room, her face sullen. The Hollywood Film Award show was coming up in a few days and she had no date yet; she knew she could not take just anyone because rumors might start spreading around, and she did not want that.
She sighed, standing up from the table and dragging her feet to her bed; she had lost appetite to eat anything.
Her bed was cold as she lay on it, Diana didn't realize how lonely she was until now. Everywhere was quiet and serene. She could hear the distant drops of rain outside and the light steps of Mary as she walked to the dining to carry out the plates;
She was in her mid-twenties and she hadn't even had s.e.x yet; and if not for the kiss scenes in movies, she was sure she wouldn't have had her first kiss too. Michael was right; she had lived a boring life and talking about Michael, she finally found his profile on IG. She was shocked when she found out he was the son of Catherine Wills and the CEO of Warren Corporation. Warren Corporation was one of the enemy companies of Howells Corporation and she was sure that he would not want anything to do with her, so that chapter was officially closed.
She didn't know why there was much strife between the companies but she had seen a lot of business news about the companies and they weren't at all nice. Diana pulled her duvet over, her head sinking into the pillow, she closed her eyes to sleep, but her mind drifted back to Michael again.
Maybe he has known who she is now. Her billboards were all over Hollywood, so surely, he must have seen some; a light chuckle left her lips;
She could not even imagine a thousand names Michael would call her in her mind;
He was so mad that she got drunk all alone in a bar, what would he say when he found out that she is an A-list actress.
Diana couldn't help but laugh. The little time she spent with him was nice, too bad it was never going to happen again.
…
''Corn Tortilla with melted cheese, sautéed baby greens, salsa, and fried egg; a bottle of cabernet sauvignon; ''
Diana spoke out loud as she ticked the meals on the menu, passing it to the waiter.
''Anything else ma'am? '' he asked and she shook her head;
Her eyes glanced at her side and she saw two girls, obviously fans, taking pictures of her. Diana mentally rolled her eyes; that was one thing she hated about being popular; you can never go out peacefully; but then this was Hollywood, there wasn't much of the trolling around here.
One thing was taking her pictures sneakily and another was asking for a picture. She wouldn't have denied them any pictures if they had asked, but they were taking pictures of her secretly, maybe other celebrities would appreciate it, but she didn't and there was only one way to make them stop;
Diana picked her phone from the table and raised it up, positioning it as though she was taking pictures of the girls, the girls who were a bit excited suddenly looked at her with shock written on their faces and they quickly brought down their own phones, looking away in shyness;
'' didn't think you'll be paying attention to fans so much. '' Diana heard a manly voice speak from in front of her and she looked up from her phone immediately;
''on my god… '' her eyes widened as they fell on the person who had a slight smirk in front of her; Michael was sitting across from her on the table, his face fresh and his eyes staring straight at her; he had a new hairstyle on and Diana could swear he looked twice as handsome as he was a few weeks ago; without even realizing it, her heart slammed against her chest;
''How… how did you find me? '' she asked, looking about her, her cheeks flushed;
Michael smiled; ''clearly, you are in a public restaurant, anyone can see you. ''
Diana's blush deepened; she didn't know why she felt like reaching out and hugging him tight, but she controlled herself;
''It's nice to see you again, Michael didn't know I could see the same face again in the whole of Los Angeles. ''
Her legs felt giddy as she could not stop herself from smiling;
''Mm, so you promised me a meal… ''
Michael spoke elegantly, waving over a waiter.
The truth was that he had trolled her; very shameful to admit. Now he thought about it, he was really petty. He didn't want her to know that he wanted to see her badly, so he had pretended he just walked in on her. He was sitting here, poised and all but only he knew how much he was grinning at himself on the inside.
Diana smiled excitedly; ''I'm happy I get to pay for your meal. '' well she was surprised that he had come to sit with her though, by now he should have found out that she was from the Howells family, or has he not? She wondered;
''I'm sorry for your loss, heard your grandfather died. '' Michael said, passing his menu to the waiter; the first one returned with Diana's meal but she did not touch it yet. She swallowed;
He knew…
''oh; '' she blinked, looking away from him; ''thank you. '' Maybe she shouldn't be very excited after all, but if he knew, why was here?
'' don't worry; I don't take company issues personal. '' Michael spoke, making her gaze turn back to him, her eyes widening;
Why did it seem as though he could see through her thoughts?
She chuckled lightly; '' me too. ''
''You look way prettier than the last time I saw you; it seems you are done with your crush. ''
Diana laughed, pushing her hair to the back of her ear; ''Way done, I don't even remember him anymore.''
''Wow, didn't think you'll get over him so fast unless there's someone else occupying your mind? ''
