Disdain

Dawn flicked her head, "Don't be silly she is a watts after all it is the look of the thing that matters, besides your father always wants us to be a harmonious family You know that". Even though it looks like she is really correcting Runa she is happy inwardly.

"Don't worry, I am good at making dad happy" Runa Smiled smugly.

A maid entered the living room interrupting them.

"Madam, Miss" the maid bowed.

"Mr Bremo's car is here" she informed them.

"Bremo is here?" Runa asked happily, she was about to go out when Dawn dragged her back.

"You are a lady, you should behave like one"

She nodded and calmed her beating heart.

Then she walked out elegantly.

"Let's go greet him," Dawn said as she followed her out.

They walked out and stopped at the car parking

Runa waited for the car door to open.

The car door opened and Arci came down from the car.

Runa knitted her brows and looked at her confusedly.

'Who is this girl that came down from the Bremo car?'

Bremo walked out of the car lastly

"Bremo you are here?" Dawn said

"Mrs Watts" he greeted her.

"Who are you?" Runa asked Arci

Arci smiled without speaking

"Bremo" Runa smiled ignoring the girl

"Miss Runa," he smiled back politely.

"Thanks for greeting me. I feel honored, " Bremo bowed.

"Don't say that, you are our guest of honor. You deserve it". Dawn said.

"But, this lady is?." She looked at Arci

Bremo stared at Arci

Arci stepped forward.

"It's been so long, I'm Arci Watts"

Both mother and daughter expressions changed immediately.

"You're Arci?" Dawn yelled her expression turned green.

Arci smiled.

Dawn looked down and changed her expression.

She forced out a stuffed smile.

"Is it really you?" She said as she held her hand affectionately.

"Arci it is you. Finally You are back, this is great, The whole thing was mishandled by our chauffeur. I asked him to pick me up but he didn't find me. Luckily, Bremo brought you back, Thank Goodness" she said affectionately.

"Thank you so much Bremo" Dawn thanked Bremo.

"It's alright," Bremo smiled.

"Auntie, I appreciate your concern," Arci smiled.

"You shouldn't call her auntie, my mom is the hostess in the Watt's mansion. You should call her ma'am" Runa told her arrogantly.

"It's Okay, I don't mind. We are family" Dawn smiled gently.

Arci smiled and removed her hand from Dawn's hand, Dawn smiled stiffened, she could only put her hand down awkwardly.

"By the way, what brought you two together?How did you meet?" Dawn asked.

"Bremo?" Dawn called out when she didn't hear him reply.

"It's a long story. Ma'am you may want to get Miss Arci settled first". Bremo said.

"Yes yes, she must be tired after the long journey," Dawn smiled.

"Richmood, give the suitcase to Miss Arci" Bremo told his assistant that was standing behind him

"Yes" He replied and gave Arci the suitcase in his hand.

Bremo collects the suitcase from her hand.

"Calvin, send Arci luggage upstairs," Dawn said.

"It's Okay, I will send her luggage upstairs" Bremo said.

"Where is her room?" He asked.

"Let me show you the way sir" The maid that came to announce their presence said.

"This way, please" she stretched out her hand.

"Thanks," Bremo said.

He stared at Arci, Arci stepped forward and walked to the front, Bremo walked behind her, the maid following them. All the while ignoring Runa.

Runa's expression turned green in anger and shame.

She wants to chase after him but Dawn stops her.

"Mom!"

"Calm down, let's figure out the situation first, Bremo has been a nice boy since childhood besides she is an old acquaintance of his. He is just feeling pity for her, because she is all alone" Dawn said.

Runa calmed down after hearing this.

…

"Please," The maid said.

They arrived at the living room.

She stood without moving because she remembered when her mother and her brother were still alive, when everything was going well.

Bremo stopped when he realized that she had stopped walking.

"Are you alright?" He asked worriedly.

"I'm fine," she replied.

"You can give me the suitcase now," She told him.

"I'll send it upstairs for you," Bremo said.

"I can do it myself" She stretched her hand to collect the suitcase.

"People here are watching us," She said.

Because the living room has maids stationed there.

"It's Okay" Bremo replied

"It's Okay, Let me help you" Bremo told her.

"Why did you insist?" Arci asked.

"Because this is not your suitcase" He replied confidently.

"Miss Arci?" The maid called out when she saw them still talking.

"Oh coming" she followed the maid, Bremo followed them.

The maid led them to a room.

"Miss Arci, this is your room" The maid said.

She and Bremo entered the room together.

"You are excused" she told the maid.

"Yes" the maid bowed and left.

Bremo closed the room door.

They sat down together in their room chairs.

Bremo dropped the suitcase on the table.

Arci opened it.

"The lock has been picked," Bremo said.

Arci opened the suitcase widely, the things there were not familiar to her.

"The suitcase belonged to that man," she said.

Bremo checked what the suitcase consist of

He took out a belt.

"Marshal" he called out when he saw what was written on the belt.

"It seems the man who kidnapped you has a special status" He told her.

They searched deeper.

"It has a false bottom" Bremo said as he saw he knocked the bottom of the suitcase.

Arci looked at him.

The room door was knocked, interrupting them.

Arci glanced at the door and sat down straight.

The door opened, Runa walked into the room elegantly with two maids behind her.

"Arci, these are the clothes and hairpins, mom has prepared for you. The party is about to start, you may want to freshen up" She said as she looked at Arci with disdain.

Arci nodded at her politely.
