They woke up that morning and he prepared for work. He was waiting for her on the dining table when the breaking news came up and he was startled. His initial reaction was to run away from the house. He hung his jacket, picked up his phone, and walked briskly out of the house.

He was about to get into the car when she ran out, stopped at the verandah, and called out worriedly, “What's up, Hubby? You did not take your breakfast.”

It became the topic of discussion on the radio and television stations with different captions.(The First Lady's Visit of Fury)(Guess what the First Lady is up to.)(The first Lady and the orphans.)(Mrs. Richmond is angry.)
