In Lugard estate, Lisa stood on the balcony, her phone pressed to her ear.
"Hello, Didi. Lisa said.
Hello, baby girl, what's up?" Didi said, her voice smooth as silk. "Lili, how are you?" Didi's voice came through the line.
"I'm cool," Lisa replied. "How's your day?"
"Fine," Didi answered. "But how is your stomach? You're feeling better?"
"Yeah, the doctor said I need more treatment, but I'm already okay," Lisa said.
There was a brief pause.
"Didi, can you guys go to Davis mansion to get something for me?" Lisa asked.
"What is it?" Didi inquired.
"My live savings ATM card," Lisa replied.
"Did you forget it there?" Didi's tone was incredulous.
"Yeah, I put it in my bed and stitched it in," Lisa explained.
"Lisa, how could you forget something like that?" Didi exclaimed.
"Didi, just go get it, please," Lisa urged.
"Okay, I will. But where exactly did you stitch it?" Didi asked.
"In my bed, under the left side pillow," Lisa instructed.
"Alright, I'll go get it," Didi promised.
"Thanks, Didi. I owe you one," Lisa said.
"No problem, Lisa. Take care," Didi replied before hanging up.
The call ended, and Didi sat up from the couch, her mind replaying Lisa's urgent request.
She walked towards her room, dialing a number as she went.
"Hello, bestie. Are you free to accompany me to get Lisa's ATM from the Davis mansion?" Didi asked.
"Huh? Lisa left her ATM card at the Davis mansion?" Emma's voice echoed through the line.
Didi rubbed her hair, feeling a mix of concern and curiosity.
"Yes. She wants us to get it," Didi replied.
"Okay, no problem. I'll be at your place within a few minutes," Emma said.
Didi smiled, grateful for Emma's unwavering support.
She changed into a comfortable outfit, awaiting Emma's arrival.
Twenty minutes passed, and the doorbell rang.
Didi opened the door to find Emma, ready to go.
"Let's get this over with," Emma said, eyes sparkling with curiosity.
As they drove to Davis Mansion, Didi filled Emma in on her conversation with Lisa.
"What's going on with Lisa?" Emma asked, raising an eyebrow.
Didi shrugged.
"No idea. But we'll soon find out."
They arrived at Davis Mansion, its grandeur awe-inspiring as always.
Didi and Emma exchanged a glance.
"Let's get in and out," Emma whispered.
Didi nodded, leading the way to the front door.
She rang the bell, The doorbell echoed through the mansion's foyer. The butler, Mr. Thomas, answered, his expression transforming into a warm smile.
"Miss Didi! Emma! Welcome back to Davis Mansion. It's been a while," Butler Thomas said, bowing slightly.
