She was in disbelief, unable to fathom that Paula could possibly be privy to her scheme.

Queenie murmured, “Okay, but what about Steven? He doesn’t trust me anymore.”
“You worry too much. If he won’t have you, there are others. You’re my woman, and I don’t want you marrying him. Don’t fret; I know he doesn’t trust you, and I’ve already sent other women to get close to him. He’ll be defenseless.”

When Diana stirred from her slumber, the world outside was bathed in the soft light of a new day. Yet, upon noticing the grey, overcast sky unleashing a gentle rain, she allowed her eyelids to flutter shut once more. It was the perfect kind of day for a lazy morning.
A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
She sat up, assuming it was Althea and Paige, who perhaps felt hungry and called her for breakfast.
She happily slipped into her shoes and opened the door, only to be slightly taken aback by Steven’s presence.
Steven appeared as though he hadn’t rested well; his sleep seemed troubled, evidenced by the subtle shade lingering beneath his eyes.
He looked tired and slightly disheveled.
Diana was surprised. “You didn’t go home last night?”
She then remembered this was his domain, where he had his
own room.
“Yeah,” Steven replied with a soft nod, his deep voice tinged with allure.

Diana asked, “What’s wrong?”
Steven held up the breakfast in his hand. “Let’s have breakfast together. I’ve already arranged something for your friends.”
Diana was momentarily speechless.
She had been craving a plate of spaghetti.
Steven added, “I got you spaghetti.”
Diana was caught off guard.
“Come in, then. It’s not like we can’t have breakfast together.”
Steven smiled.
Diana turned to freshen up.
She returned quickly to find Steven had laid out breakfast.
As she sat down, Steven offered her a glass of milk. “Drink this first, then eat.”

Diana nodded, understanding the situation.

After drinking half the milk, Diana began eating her spaghetti.
Steven had opted for a sandwich with an egg, while Diana had the same egg, which was meticulously stored away in an additional plate.
Steven harbored concerns that the food might be so greasy that
she wouldn’t be able to stomach it.
Diana immediately realized Steven had personally bought the breakfast.
Suddenly, the realization dawned on her, and with urgency, she inquired, “Did you actually buy it?”
Steven confirmed. “Yeah.‘
“How rare!” Diana was genuinely surprised. Steven had never cared for her before, yet here he was, buying her breakfast. How could this not be rare?
Steven raised an eyebrow, looking at her. “What’s so rare?”
Diana pointed at the spaghetti, saying, “This is a treat Queenie used to have. Now, I do, too. What do you want from me by buying me this delicious food, Mr. Gellar? Or perhaps you’re expecting me to apologize to Queenie?”
“Diana, is that really how you interpret my actions?”
