Each member of the Summers family had their apartment in the Summers mansion, but some, like Andre, had houses outside the mansion. They only came around sometimes to spend time at the mansion or attend the weekend dinner, where Lady Margarita enjoyed the presence of her children, grandchildren, and their in-laws. It was the least they could do to keep her company since her husband was no more.That night was one of the few times Andre made a decision to sleep over in the mansion. He had a mission that only his presence would help fulfill. In fact, he did not stay in his room, so Diana would easily locate him. He positioned himself on the balcony that faced the main entrance, and he could see anyone going out or coming in. He was yet to see Lady Margarita ever since their misunderstanding in the morning. The old lady had been napping ever since she returned from her apology meeting with the anonymous CEO. He wondered what the man could have told her that could be making her sleep that

Diana found Lady Margarita at the poolside, as usual. Lady Margarita loved staying near the pool, and whenever she was there, no one dared go in. She noticed Bridget sitting with her and considered turning back, but it was too late as they had already seen her.“Look who we have here. The latest celebrity in town! Mr. R.R.’s crush,” Bridget teased.“The man could not even see me as Diana already hypnotized him.”Left with no choice, Diana turned back and faced them, still a few feet away.“Hi, granny. Hi, aunty.”“Why did you turn back? Weren’t you here to see us? Mother here was just telling me about the outcome of your visit to Rovers’ headquarters. Let me be the first to congratulate you for gaining the attention of the man everyone wishes to know and meet.”Diana didn’t know how to respond. She wasn’t even sure of what the man had for her, yet she was being congratulated. She knew it was not heartfelt, though. Bridget had never liked anyone doing better than her son.“Come on. Com

The next day, Ralph met with Attorney Smith to discuss Emerald’s suggestion of giving the Villa workers a break. He valued Attorney Smith’s opinion on the matter.“It’s not a bad idea. It means they get paid without working.”“Not entirely. They will still come occasionally, especially those responsible for keeping the Villa clean. The place has to be maintained, even if I’m not using it right away. It’s a good excuse for me to avoid going there. My wife will question me less if she knows all the workers are on break.”“I understand. It’s a reasonable plan. It also gives the workers some well-deserved rest. They haven’t had a break for a long time. Let’s call it leave and a leave bonus.”“Exactly. I’m glad you see it from my perspective. I’ll call Emerald to organize a virtual meeting with all the workers and share the information.”“Let me know if there’s anything I can assist you with, Mr. Ross.” Attorney Smith noticed the bruise on Ralph’s hand. “Pardon me, may I ask what happened

The big fancy Summers Hall was filled with rich folks from Rovers County. Ralph and Diana walked in, Ralph wearing a fancy suit Diana picked out. It was his well-groomed wedding suit, a deviation from his usual top and jeans outfits. It had been difficult getting Diana to finally agree to show up. “Let’s just go. Not going will make it worse, Diana.” Ralph had advised, trying to get her to go by all means. There they were, in the midst of the crème de la crème of Rovers County. Lady Margarita had sent an invite to Mr. R.R., but Ralph had told Richard Anderson to represent him. So, he scanned the room to see if Richard was around, but he could not see anyone that looked like him. It was the meet and greet session, Ralph saw Lady Margarita talking with the Youngs, and Stuart, their son, was hanging around, though he was obviously scanning the hall to find someone. His eyes met Ralph’s and shifted to Diana. “Excuse me, Lady Summers. I can see Diana over there. I will go talk to her.”

“Thank you for your hospitality. Ralph said you were so accommodating. You are such a kind and humble person. You even agreed to come here! Your kind is rare. Please do give him the job when you meet again next week,” Diana said graciously, taking a seat next to Giant Gerald since Lionel had occupied hers. “It’s my pleasure, my lady. You are such a good wife to Young Boss. He spoke so well of you,” Gerald replied warmly, his eyes twinkling with sincerity. “He did? But why do you call him ‘Young Boss’? His name is Ralph,” Diana inquired, her curiosity piqued. “I just like to call him that the moment I set my eyes on him. He looks like a boss of mine that I lost contact with many years ago.” Gerald explained with a chuckle, his tone light. Ralph shot Gerald an approving glance, appreciating his quick wit and ability to play along seamlessly. “Andre, what are they talking about?” Lionel interjected, clearly confused by the conversation. Andre could not give a response. He was still
