After Richard disconnected the call,he went upstairs to his room and had a long hot shower, after that he got dressed then summoned all the staffs that worked in the TAN MANSION.
"Attention everyone, from now on, I'm in charge of payment of salaries. And it has come to my notice that you guys have started slouching in your responsibilities. My father is out of the country, and until he gets back I'm going to be in charge, so if God so help me that I find you lazing around,then kiss your salary good bye. NOW GET BACK TO WORK!!!!!!".
Everyone scurried back to work.
"Was I too harsh on them Rose?"
"No young master, you just showed them who's boss. Young master"
"Yes Rose"
"Where were you last night,Miss Mia called six times last night but you weren't home"
"Shit!!!!,did you pick the call"
"No Sir, your room was locked"
"Okay I'll call her back, thanks for the info"
"Shall I bring you breakfast young master"
"Please do, I'm starving....Uhm Rose?"
"Yes young master"
"Please if Mia calls, tell her that I pulled an all nighter in the office, and that I'm really tired"
"Of course young master".
**************************
Richard was in the dinning room eating, when the door bell rang. Mrs Rose went to the front door and opened it, when she saw Mia standing outside.
"Madame Rose good morning, please is Richard home". Madame Rose smiled and hugged Mia.
"Wèè,yes the young master is around,he is having breakfast come".
Madame Rose led Mia pass a few rooms in the huge Mansion (Almost as huge as the Boone Mansion), before they arrived at the dinning room.
"Young master was away yesterday,he was pulling an all nighter Last night and he is terribly tired,he took a light nap before coming down to address the staff,then had breakfast".
Mia felt sad. When she saw him sitting down and eating, she walked up to him and hugged him from behind.
"Morning babe". He turned to look at Mia,then he held her waist and made her sit on his lap. "Morning my beautiful queen". He planted a small kiss on her lips.
"Rose told me that you called last night, after I cancelled our date. I'm so sorry, I was just really busy and I'm..."
"Shhhh,babe, I forgive you, your secretary and madame Rose told me everything. I'm so proud of you, I'm sure your dad will also be very proud of you"
"You think so"
"I know so,plus my parents are already proud of you. I just wish that my brother will maybe learn a thing or two from you"
"Leave Theo alone,he just got back from the dead, let him enjoy himself"
"I guess you're right, after all,I do have you". With that she began to kiss him slowly and passionately. She would have continued if not for the rumbling of both their stomachs.
"I guess you're hungry too". Richard said
"Yeah well I was in a hurry to meet you, that I didn't even finish the food Clarissa made for me"
"Well in that case, I'll just have to feed you". With that they both began to eat, with Mia still on Richard's lap.

Diana calmed down a bit,then went to the bathroom to have a shower. All the images of last night immediately came to her. She began to feel hot and needy, but she immediately brushed it off and continued her bath.
She sat down on her couch with a plate of food and a cup of coffee in her hand. She turned on the TV and almost choked when she saw the headline.
"Walton city's so-called vigilante,who goes by the name of SILVER GHOST, attacked Mr Cooper and some members of the Walton City's Police Department. Six of Mr Cooper employees were found dead, while detective Diego and his partner Lieutenant Horner suffered severe injuries, while Mr Cooper is yet to be seen. Officers are now saying.........."
Diana immediately turned off the TV, grabbed her car keys,then drove like hell down to Walton City Hospital.
**********************
The hospital was busy, but not crowded. Diana held her nose to prevent herself from perceiving the antiseptic smell that hospitals always seemed to have. She walked passed a few nurses carrying trays of medicine and walked towards the ward that the receptionist downstairs directed her to.
"Doctor, please I'm looking for room number thirty six"
"Who are you looking for"
"My name is Diana, Diana Diego my father is detective Diego"
"Come right this way ma'am"
