Chapter 281 - Burning Iron Rod... (2/2)

”No Uncle. If he would dare to do so, I would kill him right at the moment.” Lucinda said, making Willa and Mr. Lopez laugh whereas Louis just rolled his eyes as he knew that there is no one to support him.

Mr. Lopez and other male elders always supported the girls whereas the elderly women supported the boys, specially Louis as he was the younger one among them while Veronica was the youngest among everyone...

After Mrs. Brooks brought some refreshments for them, they talked with Mr. Lopez for awhile before deciding to meet Diana finally.

Louis's anxiety level grew up as they were ushered to Diana's floor by Mrs. Brooks. His face became all smiley as soon as they stood outside Diana's cabin.

Lucinda noticed it and asked Willa in a mere whisper, ”What's with him? Louis was all grumpy till now. Then how his mood changed so suddenly?”

Willa smiled and whispered back in Lucinda's ear, ”Our Louis got interested in the girl Diana. He had met her at Fusion on the day of our family gathering. Then he left the hope of not seeing her again but luck took him here today.”

Surprise was an understatement to describe Lucinda's facial expression...

With her widened eyes and mouth gaped open as she asked, ”Are you really serious?”

Nodding her head, Willa gave Lucinda her confirmation but before they could continue more, the door got opened and a beautiful lady of their age welcomed them with a great smile on her face.

Louis became all happy seeing her while Willa and Lucinda praised her beauty and got the answer of their question in their mind that why the great Louis Morgan had suddenly got attracted to a girl..

”Hello everyone.. Please come in.” Diana said in a sweet voice.

The girls smiled and said a 'Thank You' before entering her cabin and Louis also followed them inside.

After they got seated, Lucinda started the conversation, ”Hey Diana.. First of all, let me tell you one thing that I can't be very much formal with you like calling you Ms. Miller because we are almost of same age as per my bestie's description. So I'll call by your name if you don't have any problem.”

”Yeah sure. That'll be great if you call me by my name.” Diana said smilingly.

Lucinda laughed and said, ”So let me introduce myself first. I'm the girl whose engagement dress you are going to prepare, Lucinda Wilson. You can call me Lucy as my other friends also call me.”

Willa then said, ”Hi, I'm Willa. The assistant of Uncle Lopez's daughter Vero.. Also I'm both Vero and Lucy's best friend. Nice to meet you.”

Diana smiled at them and said, ”As you know I'm Diana Miller. You can call me Diana and I'm new in this city. Though I studied in city B for few years but still I'm not to much familiar with country K.”

”Wow! You went to city B for your studies? Our bestie also went their for some project of hers and stayed there for around six months.” Lucinda said remembering the exact time.

”Really? Your bestie, means Mr. Lopez's daughter?” Diana asked in amazement.

Though she heard her calling Vero but couldn't think too much about this as there could be other Vero also. It was definitely not her friend whom she met five years ago...

Willa then cleared her thought, ”Yes.. Don't tell me you don't know her name cause everyone in country K is well aware about her because of both her talent and beauty.”

When Diana shook her head in denial, Louis face-palmed himself and exclaimed in stupefaction, ”Gosh! What's with these two girls not knowing each other's names..

Her name is Veronica Lopez.. We call her by her nickname Vero..”
