"What’s your name?"
"Diamond and you?"
"Where do you come from?"
"Frin City."
It was just small conversations, but she wasn’t getting bored at all.
When she was picking her food, another middle-aged lady was by her side and she found her very much interesting.
"I know you. Aren’t you Diamond?"
Diamond’s eyes lit up after finally getting recognized by someone.
"That’s me. You know me?" the feeling of being recognized was truly addictive.
"Hehe, I know you. I follow you on Ioniq. You are doing a great job. Keep it up!"
Diamond was very happy to hear that.
"Thank you for your support. I will continue doing so and hope that those who like me will not stop doing good deeds."
"But is it really true that you started all this just to have people give you attention?"
Diamond laughed heartily when she heard that. She didn’t expect to be asked directly like that.
"Um. That’s why I started it. Never in a million years did I think that I would be loved to this extent. I am grateful that I still chose to do so in the first place."
"You are a very honest person. I didn’t think that you were truly like this in real life!"
"Haha, being many-faced can be tiresome. Besides, there is never such a thing as going wrong by being outspoken about what you like."
"That’s very true."
Diamond had a great time chatting with the lady and since it wasn’t mandatory to sit while eating, Diamond joined the lady who was named Carol at her table for more conversations. As for her group, they were busy chatting with their own friends. She didn’t dare be a light bulb.
When she went to Carol’s table, she was introduced to her friends who were very happy to know Diamond. And their group continued to chat merrily as they ate their food.
"Is the farming business really lucrative?"
"Hehe, you should try it but only do a scale that you can manage. If you do more, then you might be in for some deep shit. Also, take into consideration if you can find water. Without water or rain, you can go under."
"That’s indeed true. I guess I can just buy a farm now and then work on it when the rain finally comes."
"That works as well. The farms would be selling cheap like pancakes right now."
The ladies were very cheerful and chatted about the farming business, after knowing that Diamond was in the business.
While talking about business, Carol shyly brought out the matter of the beauty cream and when her friends knew about it, they were interested in buying it. Diamond wouldn’t shy away from customers, so she kindly told them the price and how the creams could only be available in a few days.
The ladies were rich and didn’t mind parting with a few thousand. So, they ordered a bottle for a taste. After all, no matter how rich they were, it would be wasteful to buy several bottles without understanding what they were getting into.
The dinner went particularly well and everyone had a great time. Business cards were exchanged and more connections were made.
When dinner finally came to an end, everyone was still reluctant to leave, but the thought of the auction made everyone energetic, as they couldn’t wait to see what was in store.
When Diamond and her group were leaving, Gio, the assistant by Regina’s side, stopped Diamond.
"You can go and have a chat. We will meet tomorrow."
"Um, let’s meet tomorrow. We are tired."
