Chapter 102 - A proposal

"What's the cause the sickness?" Wilson asked.

"I heard I was exposed to too much cold and dust when I was young or something, I don't really get it, but I'm stuck with it now." Diana said.

Wilson next action shocked her. He picked up the remote and switched off the air conditioning. Even though it was on normal fan to begin with.

"What's your name?" He asked.

"Elizabeth." Diana lied without batting an eyelash. Even though she bent the truth in the story she told, the fact that she really suffered through it makes the emotions got portrayed well.

She's not someone who cared much about things like that. Even though it really hurts her; it's not up to the point where she would break down in the presence of a stranger and began giving accounts on her problems.

"It's alright, everything is going to be fine. And about the ridiculousness you mentioned; nah it's not ridiculous. Even though I couldn't feel what you're feeling; I could understand the feeling of seeing the one you've grown fond of and took as a family slowly suffering an illness which threatened his life, yet he still kept struggling because he wanted to make good use of the little time he has left.

Whereas the world didn't understand that and still kept pushing." Wilson stopped and pulled her back from his embrace, looked into her eyes and let out a smile that's not up to his eyes, as his irises were bloodshot.

Diana felt her heart broke. Even though it's acting for her; it's real for this man. And as expected of a man, he didn't mention names and made it seem like he's consoling her but at the same time, speaking about his heartache as well.

"Well done! Whenever you're ready; you can knock him out and return." Tara's voice sounded in her ear.

Diana was shocked silly, 'that's all?' she thought.

"I don't know where we've met before, but since you recalled my face and also; I must admit you're a good actress." Wilson said.

Diana felt her heart skipped, 'did he see through her acting? did she calculated wrong? she believed he will overlook the others if she hit where she's supposed to, just as how she overlooked the Shane girls suspicious attitude, since they got her weak point.

Even Tara who had turned her attention to the other and consider Diana to have passed; returned her attention to her.

"The way you approached me and all," Wilson paused and scoffed, "you will make a good actress and I would like it if you could give acting a try, I can help you seek more medical attention to your sickness and you can live the life you deserve. At least you still have a chance at survival." Wilson said, his expression turned sour at the last sentence.

Tara chuckled at the other end. Diana escaped a lot of things just with her acting and even managed to get Wilson want to manage her.

Diana nearly sighed, but quickly controlled herself and look up at him. "You're thinking too highly of me. I just did what I can to have an audience with you," feigning ignorance like she didn't understand what's causing him pain already, "I hope you can find peace and be happy." She added.

Wilson scoffed, 'happy? that's not possible as long as he die on me.' He said in his mind, but still brought out his card and extended it to Diana.

"I want you to think about it Elizabeth. I will like to know you more than this, but I guess we should make plans for later as you're on duty today, what do you say?" Wilson spoke.

Taking the card from him, "I wouldn't mind knowing you more than this as well. Like I said earlier, you're hot and totally my type," she paused and emptied her glass in one go, "but I will still say no to acting, and by the way; you look nothing like a manager, you'd do well with acting with your look and charisma." She added.

Wilson finds himself chuckled at her remark and find her interesting, as she has recovered her former self within a short while, after crying and looked broken a while ago.

He really sees potential in her and wouldn't mind introducing her into the entertainment world.

"You're one interesting girl." He said, which Diana replied, with her fake shyness.

Not having the confidence to knock him out, "how about we see this weekend, I won't be working and wouldn't have anywhere to go to." She said.

"Good idea, just give me a call when you're free and I will come pick you up. Also, I will make some findings for you on the cold and hopefully have something useful before our next meeting."  He said.

"Thank you so much." Diana said.

"It's alright. You're a nice person. Trying so much just to talk to me because you felt bad for my expression is something unexpected, thank you Elizabeth." He said.

After having small chats with each other for a while, it was Wilson who suggested that she return to work and contact him later.

Immediately Diana stepped out of the room, she squatted down and took a deep breath. She couldn't believe it's over, she did it.

She went to meet the guys she came with and left immediately.

After thinking and drank to his limit, Wilson left the room and headed to the main club. It was a bit crowded than earlier and a lot of people have started dancing.

His eyes searched for her among the workers, but couldn't find her. It's no big deal, but he ended up calling one of the waitresses and asked where Elizabeth went.

None of the workers bare such name, but the girl responded that the so called Elizabeth must have left to take care of some of the VIP customers. Wilson found himself regretting that he hadn't made her much longer, and asked her to leave.
