The call ended and Diamond was no longer in the mood to read her book. If soone were to ask her if she was really close to Theresa when she was in school, her answer would be NO.
Although they were classmates, they weren't that close to each other and, to make matters interesting, her classmates sort of disliked her. After all, she was very ambitious back then, and when she hooked up with that rich young man, .....ahh... just thinking about giving her a headache.
So now her wonder was why Theresa was looking for her. She couldn't be plotting sothing against her, right? She couldn't help but be worried as she thought of this.
While she was in the middle of worrying about that, her phone began to ring again and it was a string of numbers she didn't know.
"Andrea, check the number and see who it belongs to!" she instructed her A.I. assistant before answering.
Although she had a feeling that it might be Theresa, she didn't want to answer without knowing who she might be talking to.
[Theresa ***** is the registered owner of the number.]
"Thanks, Andrea," Diamond was relieved, and then she picked up the call.
"Hello, Diamond Perry speaking," in a cool manner, Diamond answered the call.
[Ahhh, it's really you. It's , Theresa, I got your number from Dorcas. I hope that you don't mind!]
Diamond couldn't act surprised anymore, so she calmly responded without any hint of excitent. After all, why should she be excited when she wasn't even half close to the caller?
"Ohh, it's you! Dorcas told that you may be calling. How have you been?"
[I am doing okay. I heard so much about you from Dorcas.]
"Haha, it's nothing. So why are you calling?" getting straight to the point, Diamond asked.
There was a mont of silence for a few seconds on the other side before Theresa answered, [so, you rember Queen, right?]
How could she not rember her?
That girl was her worst nightmare, just thinking about her. She was suddenly angry, "Yes, I do," with a slightly cold tone.
[That's perfect, she is holding a class reunion next week, and we have been doing our best to contact all classmates. You couldn't be reached for like years and no one knew how to reach you. Your number couldn't get through, so this ti I got lucky. I want to invite you to the reunion. Can you co?]
If she had known that things would move in that direction, she would have pretended to not hear the call and just ignored it. But there was no dicine for regret in this world.
A class reunion will be like a nightmare as it would only remind her of the tis she .......
She knew that she had to be calm and think rationally before answering, "I will think about it and give you an answer by tomorrow. Are you cool with that?"
[Yes, I will wait for you then.]
Diamond then hung up the phone and held her head in her hands, "Andrea, do you think that I should go?"
[My lady, after summarizing your experience, I believe that you should go and attend the class reunion. Back then, you may have failed to lift your head high, but now things are very different. Rember that you are now a special person, you have what others don't have. You won't be bullied and people will only get to envy you. Why don't you take this chance to face-slap those people who mocked you and looked down on you?]
Diamond couldn't help but smile slyly upon hearing that. Hatred and determination could be seen in her eyes at the sa ti, and after a short while, she started laughing.
"Andrea, you made a point there. I left with my tail tugged between my legs several years ago. I know that I shouldn't have overestimated my charm and acted the way I did, but when we look at the events closely, I was a victim too. They hurt and trampled on my heart. They made feel as if I didn't even deserve to be in this world."
"I will go and attend that reunion and show them that I am soone who isn't on their level anymore. I am worth much more than those people and I no longer need n to soar high. I am going to show them that I am Diamond Perry and I am the only one in this world."
If Andrea was a human being, he would have applauded and smiled happily at Diamond, seeing how confident she sounded and determined she was.
[I will help you to look into all your classmates in the process. Do you want to look into those two as well?]
Diamond knew who those two were, and she was very curious to know now how great their love was and if their love was still strong and unshakeable like they said before, "Sure, go ahead. I want to know everything."
[That will be done.]
Diamond didn't waste any more ti and saved Theresa's number and sent her a ssage that she would be going.
Theresa replied shortly and gave her the address of the class reunion venue, which was a famous resort just outside Srad. A place she once visited with him and suffered a humiliation that gave her nightmares for years.
"Andrea, book a suite at Vevco Resort, will be staying there from Thursday to Monday."
[Yes, my lady.]
Since the class reunion would be done there, she might as well just settle there and get rid of her trauma before she started doing bigger things.
And what better way to show her level than by spending money on such a resort? And in the sa place that made her regret so much about being born into this world?
'Umm, don't I have an apartnt at Lotus Palace?' it suddenly clicked as her mind plotted a few sches.
"Andrea, wait! Don't book a suite there, I almost forgot that I have a house there," rembering that, Diamond quickly stopped the ever-efficient assistant from booking a suite for her.
[Order withdrawn.]
"Uuuuh, that was almost close. Now that the house is there, I still need a car. I can't possibly drive all the way to Srad!" she sighed with relief seeing that Andrea had not done anything.
All problems would be solved with ti, and she began to look forward to this trip more than before.
Monday arrived, and Diamond held a eting first at the foundation and they all discussed the foundation's business for two hours before everyone was dismissed.
