I didn't want to hear her anymore, and it's better I should leave before she makes a scene in front of everyone to insult me...

When I turn around to leave this place, someone stands like a hurdle...

I didn't raise my head to look at him because my tears may overflow from my eyes by looking whoever it is and I am sure he is one of the higher officials who deserve this table, so I moved aside to give him free access to sit in the chair and turn other side to leave this place, but he suddenly hold my wrist tightly, I am shocked that who might be this person who holds my wrist, I immediately looked at him and its Rubeus uncle...

I feel nervous the moment I looked at him, and I know it's a chance for him to kill me with his dagger words by taking the opportunity of the situation...

But he is looking at me with his worried eyes and still holds my wrist very caressingly and turned his face towards Genie and looked at her with his furious face...

Rubeus uncle: She is the Red Rose in the white flower garden, and she deserves this chair than anyone else in this party...

You better shut your mouth and do your work what exactly a personal assistant will do...

(I am shocked and opened my mouth in shock for Rubeus uncle's strong, furious statement towards Genie...

What's just happened here?

Did Rubeus uncle take a stand towards me?

Did he just say that I am a Red Rose?

Did he really praised me?

He still holds my hand very firmly and caressingly like a father holds her daughter's hand to support her...

And he is fighting against to Genie in order to support me.)

Genie: I am doing my personal assistant work by giving priority to very important guests...

Rubeus uncle: Yeah, but don't you know your very very important guests are the relatives of your boss...

Genie: Relatives?

Rubeus uncle: Yes, don't you know the close relatives to your boss?

Genie: I know Mark's close relatives and I don't include the people into his close relatives who are particularly living under his shelter just because to loot his money...

Rubeus uncle: Don't forget I have all the rights to fire you from your job if you did not stop hurting and bullying, Anna...

Genie: How dare you to fire me from my job?

I am not working under your employment, and Mark never fires me from my job because he knows me very well than anyone...

Rubeus uncle: It's just a fraction of second for me to make you get out from here and get out from Mark's office...

You better watch your mouth before something bad happened to you...

Genie: How dare you to speak to me in such a way?

(By finishing her words Genie is coming towards Rubeus uncle with her grudge face, and I guess she will slap him...

"Gen.., my furious girl...

Calm down, baby...

Calm down…"

I hear the same tone of strong bass voice of a male and by listening to the tone Genie immediately calm down and I looked at the owner of the voice...

He is the same old man, Joseph, Genie's father...

Genie: Dad...

(Genie immediately went to her father and hugged him. Meanwhile, I looked at Rubeus uncle; he is still starring both father and daughter with his furious angry face and he still holds my wrist very caressingly...)

Joseph: It's not your fault, baby...

But you should listen to your boss relatives and organise according to their orders and you should not be furious at your boss relatives, ok?

(By finishing his words, he looked at Rubeus uncle with a smile on his face...

I feel like it's not a genuine smile and Rubeus uncle tightens grip on my wrist with more furious at their actions...

I understand he doesn't like both Genie and her father...

After a few seconds Genie loosened her hug and left the place by giving me a dagger look...

Joseph still looking at Rubeus uncle with his fake smile on his face and he looked at my wrist which is gripped by Rubeus uncle...

And again smiled by looking at me...

Joseph: I am so sorry for my daughter's behaviour, Rubeus...

Rubeus uncle: You should help her with some good manners, Joseph...

Joseph: Yeah, I am helping her...

Soon she will be up to your standards, Rubeus...

(By finishing his words, Joseph leave the place and I take a long breath to get stabilized from the issue just happened...

And Rubeus uncle still hold my wrist but his tight grip turned to firmly, and he offered me the chair where I sit before the issue and I sit quietly and he sit beside me and leave the grip on my wrist and looked at it with his worried eyes...

What just happened right now?

Is this a dream or real?

Did Rubeus uncle really supported me?

Or he takes a stand because of some old issues with Genie and her dad…)

Rubeus uncle: I think I hurt you with my tight grip on your wrist...

(I strike my head as no and rubbing my wrist with my other hand to make it normal but I am still in shock not because of Genie's insult but the stand took by Rubeus uncle towards me...)

Rubeus uncle: I know how to make it even better...

(By finishing his words he takes the bracelet from his pocket and keeps it on my wrist and hooked it...

It's my pearl bracelet which is gifted by Ria...

I immediately hold it with my other hand and sense it, and involuntarily tears rolled down from my eyes...

I feel very happy by looking at the bracelet on my wrist; it is like a memory of Ria and I feel Ria still hold my hand when I wear this bracelet…

I feel eternally happy for Rubeus uncle's behaviour towards me and it's like he is taking away the alligation of theft on me by returning me this bracelet back…

Anna: Thank you so much, sir...

(I am still confused to call him sir or uncle because he warned me in our last conversation that I don't dare to call him uncle...)

Rubeus uncle: I am so sorry, Anna...

(I am shocked for his apologies and looking at him with my widened eyes...)

Rubeus uncle: I know I treated you very harshly and spell out very rude words...

Sorry is a small word for the insult I made to you...

But please be kind on me and forgive me and accept me as your uncle...

(I immediately hold his hand in return and feel so much happy for his good change towards me...)

Anna: You no need to say sorry to me, uncle...

You are our guardian and you have all the rights on us...

(He pat on my head very caressingly...)

Rubies uncle: You have lots of patience, Anna...

Actually, I was cheated by a girl in my past life and I faced a very hard time to get out of her thoughts and I don't want Mark to face the same situation…

That's the reason I behaved with you in such a harsh way, thinking that you are after Mark and trapping him for his property…

And I am sure you can handle Mark in any situation, particularly his anger...

(By listening the name Mark from his mouth, I blushed to myself and nod my head as yes...

Meanwhile, I heard a fake cough who is trying to interrupt our conversation. so, I looked around to check who it is, and it's Mona...

I immediately smiled by looking at her and she sit on the other side of me and again fake coughed by looking at me...)

Anna: Mona...!

Mona: What's happening?

Family reunion?

Huhhh?

Rubeus uncle: How dare you to tease my little girl..?

(Rubeus uncle said strongly to Mona in a teasing warning tone...

Mona immediately put a pout on her face and looked at Rubeus uncle with her puppy eyes...)

Mona: If she is your little girl then what I am to you, uncle?

You left me alone?

(She asked in a pleading tone but still holding a pout face towards Rubeus uncle.)

Rubeus uncle: You are always my baby girl, Mona...

Why do you think I will leave you alone?

(By finishing his words we all laughed to each other happy...

And now I understand it's a magic spell of Mona...

Mona speaks to Rubeus uncle on the day she visited me after her trip, maybe she turned Rubeus uncle to other side with her magical words...

And Yes, since from the past two days, particularly after Mona's visit, he didn't react with me rudely...

And I can still remember he acted casually when I entered into Ria's room to take my visa and passport...

But I am not sure what he is searching for in Ria's room...

My thoughts were interrupted by Mona again...

Mona: Clean your face, Anna...

Your tears may ruin your makeup...

(Mona handed over me the tissue and I cleaned my face gently...

Rubeus uncle: ok girls, have Fun I need to spare some time with the guests...

By finishing his words Rubeus uncle left.us...

and I looked at Mona with my smiling face…
