I had to meet a lot of people..

When all the guests were escorted to the large garden to have a refreshing walk I thought that was about what we'll actually do there, much to my annoyance though, the moment we stepped a foot inside the garden people started coming from everywhere in turns, so In the end I didn't get to enjoy the walk since I had to talk to them all instead, I knew half of them already from my previous jobs, as for the rest I had to quickly remember their names and status, occasionally, I had to remember the names of their children and the families related to them, although there wasn't much guests compared to the party my mother in-law recently organized, but still the number of people that suddenly had to find a place inside my memory was beyond the limit I could handle.

I was tasked to remember a lot of people too when I first started working after graduation, I objectively think that it wasn't even necessary for me to know the backgrounds of various people unless I was assigned to write an article related to them, but then my direct manager at the time was so severe in this aspect, I had no left option.

Those were hard times now that I remember them, not only I had to struggle to find a convenient apartment to rent and buy all the furniture for it with the little income I had, my job itself was so difficult, since I was only hired as a sort of assistant to my direct manager, my working hours and the locations I had to visit depended on the swings of his mood.

While meeting my mother in-law's acquaintances I chanced upon one or two among them who, in the times when I was not Mrs Filladi, made me wait for long hours outside their offices to have meetings with them, only to be told later when the sky turns dark that they refuse to see me, It felt bitter to see them coming with their own feet just to have a talk with my husband and I although, except for my marriage, nothing else had a major change in me, I'm still the same woman they once refused to see.

By the time I finally had the chance to meet Marwa properly I must have looked really tired, since the first thing she said to me after generously thanking me for saving her was:

_"Mrs Filladi, You should sit and rest! Your health isn't fully restored yet, No one in this room knows how unwell you are more than me, because I was there beside you yesterday!"

_" She's right, you should rest." Eliyas commented while standing beside me.

He gestured for a certain bodyguard to come, then he privately spoke with him after which the bodyguard quickly left his initial position and dashed inside the villa instead.

While I was observing the bodyguard leaving, Akrem who was silently accompanying us when we met a lot of people suddenly spoke addressing Marwa attracting my attention towards them again:

_"Miss Kaidi, I hope you received from Mr Wahrani already, I contacted your company yesterday and I rescheduled our meeting still I haven't received from you yet whether the new time and place are convenient for you, I apologize for keeping you waiting yesterday."

_" I was invited to come here by Filladi co Mr Houdil, so my coming here is for work I assume, If we finish the discussions today then I don't think an ulterior meeting would be necessary." Marwa replied to my surprise.

I mean, I didn't expect such honest and direct rejection from such a bubbly person like Marwa, Akrem sure angered her the last time they met.

Akrem looked very surprised as well and didn't find any words to say, that is until Eliyas suddenly commented:

_" It was I who personally invited you to come here Miss Kaidi, certainly not for work purposes but you can take this chance to make beneficial acquaintances if you wish to, I apologize for my selfishness but I wanted to meet the person my wife risked her life to save, she must have really liked you otherwise she wouldn't act this selfless, that's the least I know about her."
