Diana - Chapter 206

Diana was waiting outside the premises when Jenny showed up with a sweet smile on her face. She has changed the colour at the tip of her hair, as it’s now dyed pink.

Diana could tell this girl will be catchy even if she put on rag. Seeing her rushing towards her, Diana prepared herself for the worst, and thankfully, she only got a tight hug.

‘Phew! no kiss, thank God!’ Diana exclaimed in her head and hugged her back. She cling onto her like the feeling is real, like she really missed her, but Diana isn’t fooled, not knowing that it’s just the beginning of the act.

“Common now, it’s not like I was gone for a month.” Diana said as the girl was already sniffing her nose.

“I was really scared.” Jenny said, her voice breaking.

‘Seriously? are you for real?’ Diana’s head screamed, but still pat the girl’s back, “let’s head upstairs.” she said and both began walking towards the elevator, Jenny’s left arm around Diana’s waist, while Diana’s own was around her neck.

She felt a bit uncomfortable with this, which made her heart thudding as if in fear, but still maintain her professionalism.

After getting to her room, Diana took off her boots and went to sit on the couch. Jenny wasn’t putting on a revealing clothes today. Instead, she was putting on a blue jeans which was ripped at the knee area and a large size boyfriend top, which she tied in a knot at one side, revealing a fair part of her tummy, which was decent enough, even more than her own outfit.

She settled beside Diana, and both stare into each others eyes for a while, before Diana broke the silence as the girl’s eyes were getting very emotional.

If not for this feeling that’s telling Diana that this girl has an 80% chance of being the killer and also when she was pushed down from her window  she will fall for this.

She’s the only one staying here, which made her responsible, yet she acted like she didn’t do anything.

“Stop taking this so seriously Jenny.” Diana said.

“You know what scared me the most? the people at work were talking about you being dead. They were paying closer attention to the news and all, waiting for it to be aired.

Do you know how many times I had to cry at a side, while they scrolled through the daily news feed?

Emily, I was so damn scared, I thought I would never see you again.” Her tear dropped uncontrollably after the last sentence.

Diana’s heart felt stuffed, she felt like crying too. The girl’s acting seems real without any loophole. There’s nothing Diana could say was out of line.

She took a deep breath and sniffed subconsciously. She wondered if she’s being like this because not many people showed her this sides, but this is work.

She controlled her heart and turned it into acting as well. She held the girl’s hand, making Jenny’s eyes that was staring at her laps looked into hers.

Diana took a deep breath and raised her hand to touch the girl’s face, “I’m fine Jenny. I went to see my parents and didn’t take my phone along. It was an emergency, so I forgot to inform you.

Actually, I never thought you would have imagined that I died. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have made you worry so much.” Diana said and moved closer, hugging the still whimpering girl’s head to her chest.

Jenny finally calm a bit after the hug and Diana’s explanation. “Did someone you knew died at the company for you to be so scared?” Diana asked as she pulled back.

Jenny nodded her head, “my mom.” she said, before Diana could ask who.

That got to Diana again. She wondered if her mom died the same way and she’s not the killer, or her mom died in another way, which made her become the killer.

“What happened to her?” Diana asked.

Jenny sat up straight, her eyes having a distinct expression. For a few seconds there, Diana thought she’s about to sing the most emotional song and was searching for the feeling that will bring out the best expression that will rhythm with the lyrics of the song.

Jenny began, “Actually, I’m not poor to the extent of being a cleaner. Even if I don’t work for the rest of my life, I’m financially capable to sponsor myself.” Jenny paused and a sad smile surface.

Diana couldn’t agree more, ‘I could tell.’ she said in her head.

“My mom worked at the company. She held a high post there, as she’s like one of the founders of the organization. She started working there before she even gave birth to me.

It grows bigger and my mom kept getting promoted as the company developed. After giving birth to me, my father died and it’s just me and her.

She worked hard and gave me the best that a parent could give to her child. She loved me so much and yes, she doesn’t joke with her work.

Whenever the company got collaboration with a higher one, she wouldn’t sleep all through the night. She will rejoice like it’s her own. I think more than the owners because it’s where she spent her youth.

I will say she was obsessed with it, because, she behaved like she did when she measured my height to see how much taller I’ve gotten.” Jenny paused and smiled softly, a nostalgic feeling was written all over her expression, while Diana listen attentively, being transfixed and couldn’t wait for her to continue.

After graduating from college, I went overseas to continue my studies and find my own path. She’s not a pushy mother who forced me to do something.

She’s so proud of her work, which she told me, people didn’t believe in the company when it first started and was only paying little. She said, If her parents stopped her from sticking to her passion then, she might not be where she is today.

Even if she was, she might not be so proud and happy with whatever choice they forced on her, so she let me do whatever I wanted.” Jenny suddenly paused and Diana could swore her gaze went scary for a split second, before suddenly turning back to normal.

For that moment, she looks so different like a totally different person, but the pace in which it returns to normal, made Diana wondered if she had imagined it.
