Kimberly frowned at the naive words that came out of Soraya's mouth. Diana nodded in agreement and that made Kimberly even more annoyed.
"You're very confident, aren't you? Listen, don't be fooled by the handsome face of a man, they are dangerous. Especially for men who are surrounded by women every day. They are trash!" Kimberly chirped. From the frontal accusations that she made, it has now turned into a slander that is getting worse.
"Hey Kim, I think you've gone too far! You'd better stop this nonsense because everything you're saying is just accusations without evidence. It's just an article from an unknown website created by someone jealous and filled with hate. I don't think you're any different from the author of that article, you're just crazy people!" An annoyed Diana tried to silence Kimberly's mouth with her words.
"Hahaha... Well it's fine, if you think I'm as crazy as the freak who wrote that article. But, we'll see who will be who will cry and who will laugh. So for now, we'll just have to wait and see how it goes!" Kimberly said before leaving, leaving Diana and Soraya frozen in silence.
Diana took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, at a loss for words. She didn't expect that Kimberly would be much more troublesome than she thought.
"I know you must be very surprised, but believe me, the real problem is not what that madman says. It's just a rumor that can't be verified!"
"I have absolutely no idea! Can you send me the website link? I'll see!"
"Really? Are you sure?"
"Is it so bad that you're worrying about me like this?"
"Ah-hahaha no, it's not like this! Fine, I'll send it to you. But promise me one thing!" asked Diana.
"What's that?"
"Whatever news you read on that site, don't let it influence you and believe the rumors. Do you understand?"
Seeing the concern Diana showed made Soraya laugh. She didn't understand why Diana had to bother thinking about her beliefs.
"Hahaha okay, you don't have to worry! I will remain a fan of Mr Robert forever!"

"Ah no! This is so hard to believe and it seems too impossible to happen. This person must have been making this up when writing this article!" She muttered. For some reason, Soraya felt so annoyed and protested on the phone screen in front of her eyes.
Soraya turned around and lay properly on her bed. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. It felt very heavy, considering that she seemed to be increasingly attracted to the man who always had a cold face and a flat expression that was difficult to understand.
"It can't be helped, it seems to have become his trademark. His piercing eyes and ocean blue, his gleaming black hair is hard to forget." Her mind wandered back to the times when she was silent for a few minutes in front of the strange man and became the object of his painting.
"I must have gone crazy if I really liked him. I would-"
Kriiieeeett
The bedroom door opened without a word or a knock. Her eyes immediately fell on a blonde haired girl who entered in a hurry and put on a surprised face when she saw her face.
"Why did you-" Before Soraya could finish her question, Kerry rushed out nervously.
Soraya lifted her body and put her feet on the floor, trying to peek at the shadow of a man standing in the middle of the corridor. 2 minutes 47 seconds later, Kerry returned to the room with a slightly pale face and strange behavior.
Soraya had a pretty bad feeling about this and it was very disturbing to her. Especially, when Kerry smiled at her and sat on her bed like they had done it before.
"What is it?" Asked Soraya frontal. She didn't want to mince words.
"Um- that's outside my boyfriend," She replied. Kerry tried to hide her shaking hands by playing with her hair.
"So?"
"Um...that, may I borrow this room for a moment?"
"What? What do you mean?"
"Can I borrow this room for 30 minutes? Me and my boyfriend, we want to talk for a minute!" Kerry asked. But somehow it felt very strange to Soraya.
"Wait! What do you mean borrow this room? Are you crazy? Can't you see I'm in this room too? If you and your boyfriend want to talk, why don't you talk somewhere else?"
"We can't! There's no quiet place to talk. We're having a fight and we need some time to sort it out!"
"I understand you want solving your problems, but if it's just to talk you can do it outside right? Find another place, park, cafe or-"
Bruukkk
Without a word, Kerry immediately knelt down and hugged Soraya's legs. True, she did and it made Soraya not believe what was really going on here.
"Please! Just give me a minute! I don't want to part with Josh, I love him so much! Please just give us a minute to talk! I beg you! I beg you...!" Kerry Smith sobbed like a child and hugged Soraya's feet who felt very confused and disturbed by what she was doing.
"Kerry, get off my leg! You don't have to do something like this!"
"No! If it wasn't like this, you wouldn't want to help me! I beg of you, Soraya! You're the only friend I have!"
"Listen to me! Even if you say that, it still feels really weird to me. If you really need a quiet place to talk, why not just do it at your boyfriend's house?"
"No, we can't!"
"Why?"
"Josh lives with his uncle, aunt and cousin. We can't talk in that house because they don't like me that much, that's why-"
"Okay fine I understand! You can use this room for 30 minutes, no more and one condition!"
"Really? What conditions?"
"You can't have s*x in this room, I'm against it!" Soraya said annoyed. Deep in her heart she really didn't want to lend her room even if it was only 30 minutes to the person who had made her feel uncomfortable every time she fell asleep.
Hearing Soraya's approval, Kimberly who had been crying hysterically in a matter of seconds, immediately became happy and smiled broadly.
"Of course! We only talked for a while, there won't be anything else. Trust me!" Kerry who was already excited immediately grabbed Soraya's hand tightly.
Soraya shuddered, she had never in her life met and faced someone like this whose mood could change so fast.
Soraya was forced to get up from her place, took her cellphone, purse and bag and went out while holding back her frustration over her stupidity for always allowing her room to be a place for lovers to make love.
At the door, Soraya passed the man with the piercing. Soraya lowered her head, this time she was really reluctant to lift her face even though she only glanced at the face of the man in front of her.
Soraya decided to walk away without saying hello or just giving this man a welcome smile. However, a strange urge in her heart made her lift her face and glance at the man who seemed to be walking into the room.
Soraya's eyes caught sight of what seemed strange and frightening to her. The man looked at her with a grinning grin like a monstrous beast.
Soraya shuddered again, hastily she lowered her face and stepped faster, so she wouldn't have to look at that strange smile any longer.
Blaaammn
The door closed, Soraya was sure the man had entered the room with Kerry. Soraya stopped walking, slowly turned her body and looked back. She had not seen the man at the door and once Soraya had to admit her foolishness again, she allowed Kerry to bring her boyfriend into the room.
"What was I really thinking? What an i***t I am!"
