"Aunt take the handkerchief and wrap it up around her hand to stop the bleeding. " Alex gentle voice came from behind.
"Oh thanks alex.. " Aunt thanked him and quickly wrapped his handkerchief around my hand, till then the medication arrived, nanny Lin helped me with it.
On the other hand uncle keep apologising for what just happened.
And luckily Alex didn't seem to mind all that and was telling Uncle to relax.
I was thinking that he seems to be a good guy and a smile crossed my face.
By the time Laura came close to me and said, "don't think that he is a good guy or something",
"Whoops!! what are you doing coming from behind sneakily!?? "
"I saw your smile, weren't you thinking he is a good guy, don't forget he is our enemy!"
"why do you hate him so much? "
"ugh, don't laugh at me after I tell you! When I was a kid, before meeting you, he always came here to meet father and mother, then father always told him to teach me some etiquettes and some business studies, but I always hate that because I invited my friends to play with me and in front of them he embarrassed me, scolded me and humiliated me!!!!!.. That's why I don't like him! "
"what are you saying Laura, you're not right, you didn't understand that he was doing that for your own sake, so that you can have a business mindset and can assist him in the future! "
"The hell! I don't think it's like that! "
"Even though he is your cousin, he worries about you as a big brother. "
"Your Big talks , Vanessa!!! ", and that's how she left the medical room!
"She is like that only.. " and again came that gentle voice,
"Mr. Al.Alex ,umm what are you doing here? "
"Father told me that I shall check upon miss Vanessa and bring that brat sister of mine back! " said Alex looking towards my hands.
"Oh, that it's fine! "
Nanny Lin finished with the bandages and started cleaning up.
Even though I have already seen his face in Laura's phone but in real life he is really good looking than the picture!
As I ended my thoughts there , Alex was starting at me, maybe waiting for me to say something?
"Is there something on my face? " I stupidly questioned.
"No there's nothing on your face, I was just thinking that how are you so different from Laura?" Alex questioned me back.
"No we are not that different, actually we have a lot in similar,.. Ugh.... except for one habit of hers! "
"I know that! She has the habit of staring at handsome men! But looking at you I don't think that you are like that, rather you are more shy. "saying that Alex smiled and started walking faster.
*He called me shy,... In what way am I actually shy!??
I, then kept silent after his comment, as we already reached to the main hall*.
"I guess everybody's gone to the dining room already! ", I commented after seeing that the main hall is empty!
"Then let's head to the dining room! " and that when he stretched out his hand towards me. I hesitated for a minute and then took his hand.
Why are we actually holding hands for?
As servants passing by us, stared at us with that look of what is going on?
I found it quite embarrassing but as Uncle told us already that we must do what he likes!... I kept following him!
We reached the dining room and the moment the doors opened, everybody turned to look at us.
And then grew that misunderstanding!!!
Aunt and Alex's mother (my first aunt) were smiling and exchanging glances. First and second uncle were looking at us like we were the perfect picture!
It was so embarrassing that I didn't even wanted to look up to them, I just waited for Alex to release my tightly gripped hand!
As he released my hand I made quick movements towards the dining table.
I sat beside Laura after greeting both uncles and aunts.
Alex too took his seat after second uncle asked him to come and sit.
The servants started with the serving and the awkward feeling started building!
No one said a single word but they all were wearing those smiles that were there when Alex and I arrived!
Oh God why is this happening!
It's so embarrassing!
Even Laura isn't talking with me but she too is smiling!
Then suddenly first uncle uttered, "Alex, so are you all ready to accompany Vanessa and Laura for the trip? "
