Diana was busy gathering the files that she needed for the impending snow trial,Mr Yuan Snow,was to be charged for the alleged murder of his wife and daughter. She was about to take her seat when Susan, her colleague, ran towards her. "Diana, guess the news that's going on now, you'll never believe it" "oh my goodness, what is it Susan, what reason do you have for running around like this, nevermind, I have more important things to do, like the Snow trial coming up soon" "Listen Diana, Theodore Boone is alive, and he..." "Stop talking rubbish Susan, I'm very busy,I have to work, leave me alone" "Diana, I'm serious, other lawyers are talking about it, they are even hosting a welcome party him tonight" "Susan enough!!!!" "I'm sorry Diana, but I just wanted to let you know that he is coming" "coming here" "yes" "I have to leave" "no you can't Diana,boss is gonna be so upset with you,he might even suspend you,ever since you rebuked his advances towards you,he has planned to make life a living hell for you, Diana, don't you know" "I do". Susan wanted to say something, when she heard a gasp and some murmuring "Please where is Miss Diana" she heard Richard ask "She is in her office" a colleague replied,a few seconds later, Richard and Theodore walked into Diana's office. "Diana good morning" "Good morning Richard" Diana stood up and hugged him "Whose your friend" Diana asked "don't tell me that you don't remember Theodore" "who is Theodore" she asked, feigning ignorance "My best friend, your fianceè,Mr Edward's son" "My fianceè died eight years ago, the year he took my sister on a boat trip to Spain,two months before our wedding, my sister drowned, it's a shame that your still alive" "Diana!!!!" Richard screamed,by this time, Susan had already left. "It's okay Richard. Diana look I'm sorry for everything I've ever done to you, but I was young and foolish..." "so that's your excuse, that you were young and foolish. Damn it Theodore,I was the fool,I was the immature one, for believing your stupid fu***** lies, my dad warned me,my friends warned me, even Richard warned me, but no, I was Soo smitten by the famous Theodore Boone's smile, that I didn't know that I was being duped by my own sister.... please leave Theodore, before I loose my mind" "Diana....." "Please don't, just don't, you are now part of my past,a past that I have soooo deeply forgotten, just go. Bye Richard".
They both rode in silence,till they arrived at the Boone Mansion. "Theo, back so soon" Mia asked, she was directing some people on where each decorations should be placed "I didn't know that you had become a party planner" Richard said "well for my brother, I'll be anything" she kissed Richard slightly on his lips, until she saw Theodore looking at them with surprise "oh,sorry Theo,I forgot to tell you, about me and Richard" "and what's your excuse,why didn't you tell me" Richard looked at him and said "well when I wanted to tell you, you brought up Diana..." "wait, you went to see Diana" "yes Mia, what's the big deal" "you're brave, she hates your guts, and detective Diego, her dad wants you dead, how could you let him go Richy" "trust me babe, I tried to tell him" "well you could've tried harder,we both know how stubborn Theo is, you could have chained him down. I just got my brother back, I'm not willing to loose him again" Theodore was surprised at how matured his younger sister has gotten.
