"Master, you have less than an hour to get ready and you're not supposed to be doing all these menial tasks anymore! You give orders, we follow. " he rants, following him behind as they go to his room. "Matthew, I've told you not to call me master. If you keep doing that, I just might not recognize myself anymore, besides, don't worry about me, I might be rich now, but I still love doing all these, and about the dinner party, you know I don't take long getting dressed" he joked as they walked to his room. "I know that, but I still deem it proper to call you Master and maybe occasionally, I'll still refer to you as 'My Boy' ". "I'd really appreciate that Matt, I love it when you call me 'My Boy', you know you're the closest I have to a father figure now. And don't forget I still need you to help me settle into this new life, it's all so overwhelming. " "You know you can count on me my boy. " Matt says as they finally enter Chris's room. "The security team already called to let you know they've done a background check on everything, the event center is being properly guarded, as well as the mansion. The decorations were perfectly done and the guests have started arriving. Now, although your father had a lot of enemies, Mr Victor Edwards is one person I know you can trust. He was your father's PA while he was still alive... He called to let you know that a lot of press would be there, you need to be warned to avoid complications." "Thank you Matt, you're the best... Have you by any chance seen..... " Chris asked before he was interrupted by someone who barged into the Master's bedroom (Chris's room) without knocking. "Chris! Oh My God!..I cant believe you're finally going to be acknowledged as a VICKER! THE VICKER!.. I'm so happy for you!!!. You're going to be wining and dining with all those rich freaks! " Diana rants as she expresses herself dreamily while hugging and fussing over a smiling Chris like someone whose crush asked her out to prom. "Well Diana, it seems you'd fit into this position much well than I will" Chris says noticing Matt rolling his eyes. Diana Peters was one of the kids who George Vicker accommodated in his mansion, when she was just 12. He met her during a feast which was held by a partnering company where she was one of the girls who served the guests. She came up to him and asked him for a job at his mansion since she was not that educated and he had no other choice but to accept because his investors were present and he had to make a good impression on them. When she came into the mansion, she had a hard time coping in the big mansion as locating all the rooms were quite difficult for her. She worked as the mansion's room attendant and sometimes assisted in the kitchen. Christopher was 18 at that time, and he saw her as a little sister, helping her adjust to the life in the mansion in every way he could. George never really liked her because he felt she was just too fake for his liking and of course, because he was George and he never really liked anyone except his money, assets and himself... And also Chris. "Diana, aren't you supposed to be helping Rose in the kitchen, after all, Chris did give you the permission to have your own little feast here at the mansion." "Yes Matt, I know that, but I also can't help but envy all the glitz and glamour that would take place at the event tonight. I'm sure there will be lots of rich and famous business men and sexy models there. I can just imagine how it would feel.... Walking in those designer heels, posing in front of all those cameras! " "Diana, you should be satisfied with he feast we'll have here, after all, when the former master was still alive, we never held any sort of celebration. In fact, you should start calling Chris mas..." he explains before being interrupted "It's okay Matt, Diana is still like my sister. In fact, everyone is free to call me whatever suits their comfort, I'm still just like everyone else here. And Diana, if you really want to attend the dinner, you can. "he says to a now quiet Diana. "huh?....really?!" she says with her eyes wide open. "Yes of course, you can even be my date" "Really?!... Pinch me if this is a dream! " she screams excitedly. "I don't think there's any need for that because this is very much real, but you need to go get dressed quickly, do you have a gown and... " "Yes! Yes! Yes! Don't worry, I'll go get dressed!" she says, jumping up and pecking him all over his face as he watches her jubilate like a little girl whose favourite doll was bought. "Alright, we leave in twenty... " he says as she races out the room before shouting a faded "Okay!!!". Matt who had been watching her irritatedly, looks at Chris with a weird face, "What?" "Are you really letting her go with you?" "Yes, is there a problem" he asks confused "Don't you think people might get the wrong idea?" "Of course not Matt, Diana is just like a sister to me, nothing more. If you want, you can also come with me" he suggests "No no, I'd rather stay here to eat a proper homemade meal and most importantly, make sure the rest if them don't drink their lives out" he responds while approaching the door to leave. "Alright Matt. Just make sure you all have fun" Chris says as he goes to his closet to get his newly purchased designer suit. "Oh trust me, we will. Isn't Michael coming over? I thought you both planned know going together?" "Yes, I don't even know why he isn't here already, but you know Michael, that guy never takes anything serious. " "Yes I know Michael well, boy can't even be prompt to save his own life. Oh well, I'll let you get dressed then." "Thanks Matt, wish me luck" "Goodluck. The limo's ready when you are..... And Chris? " Matt says before leaving, making Chris turn towards his direction. "I'm proud of you my boy" he concludes before finally closing the door.
