Diamond cut Kisha off before she could even continue and said, "Since I will be benefiting from your connections. I think it's better if I pay for myself. Besides, I might be leaving for the capital early and staying after the banquet is over. I wouldn't want to impose."
Kisha, upon hearing Diamond's explanation, decided to not push much. It was already great for her that Diamond had agreed. If she were to force more, Diamond might end up refusing to go with her. And that would be bad.
Several people were already looking forward to meeting Diamond, and Kisha didn't want to lose the opportunity to be associated with people she was dying to know before.
"Okay, I will communicate with you further."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the two ladies separated, and Diamond returned to her villa.
When she returned to the villa, Aunt Janet was busy as usual and Diamond went upstairs, where she took a long shower.
