Lisa exclaimed happily that even her friend rolled her eyes helplessly upon seeing her acting that way.
"She is easy to talk to, right?" suddenly Lisa became nervous as she thought about the recently squashed rumors.
As a new fan who learnt about Diamond after she saw someone in her circle forwarding an article about her. She had just gathered all the information she could get in hours. Imagine her surprise when she learnt that her brother knew the person, she had just started studying and to make matters even more interesting, her cousin Clarissa was also another friend.
Lisa was on fire and so excited that she was done preparing for the banquet in the afternoon. Unfortunately, she had to wait until now to see the person that she was eager to see.
"She is very friendly," Clarissa sincerely said thinking about what Diamond was usually like.
She remembers that when she befriended Diamond and Ruby, Diamond had not yet become as popular as she was now. Even then, she was friendly, humble and kind.
She even had some doubts about her until she personally saw where she lived and how rich she was.
Diamond if she wanted, she could be so low-key and yet when it comes, she could explode.
She was someone who knew how to balance herself.
Anyway, back to the topic. She was truly friendly to those who didn’t poke her the wrong way.
Lisa and her friend were relieved to hear that.
It also made sense now thinking about it. Richard wouldn’t have befriended her if she wasn’t a good person even if she was beautiful.
What would be the point of having outer beauty when the inner core was rotten?
The guests mingled, chatting and laughing as they waited for the birthday boy to arrive.
Fifteen minutes before the scheduled time, Richard and Diamond finally made their appearance.
It was a private banquet and unlike certain events, there weren’t any formal media friends or red carpet. It was completely low-key.
When the duo arrived, the appearance of Diamond caused a lot of stirs. After all, she was a face that they had never seen before. She got a lot of people curious.
Richard was a people’s man. The moment he arrived, he was surrounded by people and he took that chance to introduce Diamond to them.
Diamond greeted everyone warmly and with a smile, making those who saw her like her very much.
Men were attracted, and women were envious. She had such great skin and hair. Who wouldn’t be so envious?
Diamond also met with Clarissa she last saw several months ago, and their reunion was filled with warmth.
She got introduced to Lisa, Richard’s sister whom she learnt was a new fan in the making. When it comes to JEWELS, Diamond was extra careful. These were the people who powered her daily to become more daring. How could she not pamper such ancestors?
The banquet officially started, and it was filled with a lot of entertainment activities. But first, everyone had dinner since it was already late.
After dinner, everyone except Diamond gave gifts to the birthday boy. As for hers, she left it back at the mansion. Moreover, what if she shocks everyone after taking it out?
Luckily, Richard wasn’t upset with her own choice. However, those other people couldn’t help but disdain Diamond wondering how stingy she was since she didn’t give her friend a gift.
After giving gifts, the dance floor was opened, and Diamond danced with Richard for the first dance. The pair were simply too captivating. Lisa had her share of fun as she recorded the moment very piously making both her friend and Clarissa wonder what kind of fan had just been born.
Arriving at the moment of the dance was none other than the young man who was gloomy while spying on Richard and Diamond.
Watching that pair dancing as if they were born for each other, he clenched his fists as his gaze deliberately fixated upon Richard whom he had been in love with for so many years but only dared become courageous recently.
Luckily, after one song ended, the pair separated and didn’t dance anymore but went to the table to grab a drink.
Seeing them going there, he felt that it was an opportunity to make himself known. What if Diamond had other plans for Richard? What would he do?
The pair had no idea that a wolf had just arrived and was coming towards them. They were busy whispering and sharing gossip regarding the matter of the earlier dance.
"Dear, did you see the couple who were dancing next to us?" Richard whispered; his eyes filled with a twinkle. The kind that she liked.
"I saw them. I can remember all of them. Tell me, what did they do?"
’Could this be the famous pursuer I heard about?’ she couldn’t help but wonder with a smile as she sized the other party.
