Reaching the mansion, an elderly man walked out, followed by mrs Gerald …. "Hello ma'am… welcome home, I'm mrs Gerald and this is my husband… we are at your service …
"ehhhmm … hello ma and sir.. but before Dinah could finish what she wanted to say ….
"This is Dinah Wellington…Dinah these are my house keepers and they are more like my family too… Oliver said.."
"ohhh thought they were your grand parents or parents …Dinah said…
Mrs Gerald laughed out loud and said to her …
"we could be his 8th generation.., he is older than us a thousand times …. "
"She don't believe me… Oliver whispered …
weirdos Dinah thought ….
" Oh Pardon our manners…come on in, we have been waiting for you …..
"still can't believe I get to see the goddess with my own eyes , I get to die a peaceful death at last, mrs Gerald said out loud beaming with smile...., "
Dinah looked at Oliver …
"please don't scare her , she doesn't know anything yet …. Oliver said to mrs Gerald …,
"ohhhh … why not we tell her now before it gets too late.. … mrs Gerald asked .."
"it's not yet time and it can never be too late… Oliver said with all seriousness ….
"Tell me what please .. Dinah asked " …..
"don't worry "… the three of them replied at once … Dinah wasn't bothered, because it's not the first time she is been left out on a conversation in her life….
wow…. Dinah's eyes shone wide… who are you …Dinah asked looking straight at Oliver…
"Oliver staring straight at her said, I told you before my name is Oliver Queen the CEO of Queen consolidate…
"your parents must be super rich… Dinah said ..
"I made all these fortunes by myself … Oliver replied.."
"you really can't make all these wealth even if you have been 30 years in 500 hundred years … Dinah said …
"you might be saying the truth Oliver replied …"
They both stared at each other for awhile, almost getting lost…
"miss Wellington can I show you to your room now? mrs Gerald asked without knowing she just disrupted a happy moment…
"… Just as Oliver was about to say something, his phone started ringing… he wanted to ignore but seeing it's from his personal assistant… he walked over to the balcony giving Dinah a smile before leaving to answer his call…
Dinah breathed a sigh of relief …
"oh yeah mrs Gerald…"
after some minutes it dawned on her….
"wait !! what Room ??…. Do I have a room here she asked shocked…"
"yes ma'am you have a room here… mrs Gerald answered….
"what is she implying Dinah thought… never mind just show me my way to the kitchen …Dinah replied …
"what do you want to do in the kitchen, I can help you out with it, you don't need to stress yourself the house keeper said to her…
"ohhh it's not stressing, I just want to fulfill my promise to mr Queen by making his meals … Dinah said to her… "
"making his meals you said..? the house keeper asked …"
"yes Dinah replied…"
"for how long if I may ask … the house keeper asked…"
…" oh jeez … could you believe mr Queen gave me no other option than to choose 6 months, he is so tricky … Dinah said furiously…."
"Tsk tsk tsk … I know …. Mrs Gerald said…. "
"you know …Dinah questioned… ?? "
"mrs Gerald nodded smiling …. You know he has been waiting for you for centuries already, and he doesn't want to miss any chances with you … "
"there she goes again … can you all get straight to the point and stop all the side talks… Dinah said looking directly into her eyes …. "
Mrs Gerald tiptoed close to her ….
"What are you doing Dinah asked ??"….as she shifted back ..oh dear that is the end of the road, she thought as her back hit the wall … ..
"eishhhh stop being such a scaredy-cat I just wanted to come close and ask you … do you believe in warewolves, vampires ghost and other divine entities??? Mrs Gerald asked with all seriousness … ""
Dinah blinked her eyes for sometime and burst out laughing ….
"Oh she doesn't believe … Mrs Gerald said hitting her chest … tsk tsk tsk … it's not yet time …
"okay let's go to the kitchen ma'am she said to Dinah …
as they walked hand in hand to The kitchen …. Mrs Gerald was busy feeling her up with how Oliver has been living for the past few years ...
Oliver who knew nothing about what a gossip mrs Gerald is, was seen in his study looking afar after answering his call,
"these people are really pushing me too far …"
He smiled and dialed a number …
"kill them all he said…. "
He dropped the phone, walked to the mirror and smiled … then walked out of the study…
Getting to the kitchen, the scene he saw melted his heart, Dinah who was wearing a white apron is seen cutting broccoli, and it took him back to the past … a woman on white was seen smiling while cutting a broccoli…
