Chapter 35 - DIANDRA RESPONDS TO ALEX KISS

Seeing it was Melissa calling, wanting to know, 'Why was she in the office so early.'

Hearing what has happened during the early morning hours, Alex instructing her, "Melissa call out all the Senior Officers to be at the location right away.

And pull out all the new recruited immediately, and tell the Senior Officer in-charge that I will be there within thirty minutes.

Alex hurried and brush his teeth, shave and bathe. Thinking, 'This is his biggest contract, so who would take the chance to break into the chemical plant?

I knew it was a prank when those youth was vandalizing with fire crackers next to the Chemical Plant?'

Taking a minute, Alex kneels down and plead his cause before the Lord, "Lord, whatsoever is missing I am asking for you to give me the insight to retrieve everything, and help us to apprehend the perpetrators.

This contract is a blessing, so I can help my employees and be a blessing to families. I place whatever is happening into your hands and thank you for the victory."

Running down the stairs, calling out to her, "Diandra, where are you?"

Alex sees her drifting holding her so she won't fall, "You call me Alex?"

"Diandra, listen to me, I have to go, will you listen to me, please wake up." She seems so drunk with sleep.

"This is useless, I will call you," kissing her lips, Alex could not believe it when she began responding to his kiss.

"For God's sake not now, why did this have to happen now? It the first time she is responding to his kisses willingly."

Recalling to that day at her house when she had fainted, Alex so wanted to feel her lips so badly against his, he kissed her.

But he can't dwells about that now, leading her to the couch, seeing that she was comfortable, locking the door.

He had open the gate to drive out when Mr. Alvin step through, hurrying, Alex open the front door, saying, "You are here early?"

"Yes, I needed to make a few small changes so I came early before the men reach."

Alex informs him that Diandra was asleep and she had work almost half of the night. Also of the incident that occurred at the Chemical Plant, and he will call her later.

Diandra woke up after eleven, seeing that she was asleep on the couch in the hall.

Observing how some of the workmen were busy rubbing down the walls. Johnny had one of them on the step rail, one was laying down tiles and another was polishing the table. Diandra, guess the others must be working on the outside wall, maybe later I will check it out.

Taking her clothes and a large towel she walk upstairs to Alex's room. Having no choice she knew she has to wash her hair, with all the dust flying and caught in her hair, feeling her head itching.

Diandra, had now finish washing her hair and bathe when the phone began ringing. Hurrying out the room and down the stairs when she overheard Johnny saying, "He will let me know."

When he came out of the study, seeing her standing looking at him he said, "That was the boss, but he said he will call back later."

Realizing the few men that were working in the hall, was staring at her.

Diandra passed her hand over her clothe wondering, 'If her dressing was inappropriate, knowing she had rushed down without checking herself.'

It so happened she had completely forgotten that the men was working. Examining herself, but they continue watching her. 'Oh dear God, is something wrong?'

Diandra, only come to her realization that they were gloating at the length of her hair. Asking one "What is it?"

"Is your hair real?"

Diandra laugh, "Yes it is, now will you all continue with your work please."

Johnny was glad when she enters the study and closed the door. Her hair was so beautiful the men seem helpless as they admire it.

Knowing from her observation she has to avoid going outside because her hair has become a distraction, but she cannot tie it because it is still wet.

And when the phone ring she had completely forgotten. Combing it through then opens the window so the breeze could blow through.

Putting on the fan to help the drying process more quickly. When her stomach grumbles reminding her that she hasn't eaten anything for the entire day.

'Alex normally sends lunch, but it is already past twelve, almost one. I am sure he must be very busy to have forgotten all about sending lunch for her?'

Unable to bear the hunger any longer Diandra just doubles up the hair and used a skiff and tie it firm at the top but it was just to cover her head.

Going to the kitchen she made a sandwich and sit and eat then drink a glass of juice.

Putting on the television but then decided to check what the men were doing at the back and side of the house.

Johnny notices the incident that Alex spoke about this morning. Seeing that they was having a live coverage on the television and Boss was being interviewed.

Hurrying down from the ladder, Johnny ask Frank and Roy to assisted him with the disconnecting of the television and move it across to the library.

Asking John to leave the painting of the rail and start rubbing the wall. Thinking, 'If she only glimpse the highlight she will panic.'

On her return seeing John working on the wall, "Oh dear, I might as well do the laundry."

Going to Alex's room taking his basket of dirty laundry and went to the laundry room.

Johnny notices the men were still distracted although she had covered her head, having to keep his eyes on them, knowing that the work was being held back.

'Thank God, Boss is not here because he might become angry with the men.'

Seeing how quickly she hurried to the study, Johnny realized she figure out, her hair was distracting them. When it was four-o-clock she ventured out, her hair was neatly plait and banded with a scarf.
