[Demetrio's POV]

When I heard Mrs. De Rossi asking Yvonne to help in the kitchen, my temper flared up. The bitch thought I couldn't understand her. Unfortunately for her, I studied multiple language, due to our business.  I could speak multi-lingual and Portuguese is one of the language I learned.

I and Nicolas had to learn multiple languages to attract clients and investors. So we can easily interact with them in their own language, convenient than having a translator, and cheaper.

Amelia's face turned a beet red when I told her to treat Yvonne the way she treated the others, because she's a guest too. I grit my teeth and stared at her coldly, the way I stared with my enemies.

She apologized. "I'm sorry Mr. Pallos. I wasn't thinking. Since, she's my niece I thought I could ask for her help just for a bit, since Sheila is coming anyway." she added on, trying to recollect herself from being embarrassed, defending her reason.

I stared at her impassively. "She's not going anywhere near your dirty kitchen, Mrs. De Rossi. I myself never let her touch a dirty dish, because that's the job of the maid. Not her job! If you really want that cake, then go and bake it." Then, I stood up, gritting my teeth in exasperation.

"Thank you for the invitation Mrs. De Rossi. But, I don't tolerate being humiliated. Yvonne is my girlfriend and you treated her like a maid.  I hate to say, but we are taking our leave." I added on and help Yvonne on her feet.

"Oh I'm really, really sorry, Mr. Pallos. I apologized for my manners. Of course, Yvonne is a guest." she smiled apologetically, stopping me from leaving. I could see remorse in her eyes and she looks very terrified and embarrassed.

I thought, I will disregard her riling manner for now. Lucky her, I need to gather information.

She was discreetly shooting Yvonne a distaste look, but for now I will ignore it. "I'm sorry, Mr. Pallos, Yvonne. I'm sure, everyone doesn't care if there's no cake!" she chuckled with a tinge of remorse, more likely sounding bitter, before she spun on her heel and dash away, looking utterly embarrassed.

"We are sorry about that, Mr. Pallos." Rodney apologized, breaking the silence after like several minutes.

I'm just glad that everyone was having fun that only our table notice the arguments.

Yvonne and Amber look at each other and stifled their giggles.

I just nod my head to Rodney. It seems that Amber and Rodney were genuine and nice to Yvonne. Caroline and Carlos seems not to care. But they were all shocked when they heard me responding to Amelia in Portuguese.

Judging how the family was treating Yvonne, I know I can't leave her. But, I need to make a conversation with Flavio.

Flavio was with other gentleman and they are all talking animatedly. I thought I will wait until he's alone and approached him.

I noticed that the old De Rossi wasn't around. I wonder where is Yvonne's grandfather. Yvonne seems to not noticing it too.

She seems to enjoying now the company of Amber. The two was whispering and giggling occasionally. Amber was animatedly telling her stories while she's too fixed listening.

I wonder what the two were talking.

Rodney as usual, the chatterbox was telling his funny stories, and the other girls would fill in if he misses something. Vanessa was suddenly nowhere to find and I felt relieved that she's not around. I looked around and saw Amelia with another group who seems to live with the same lifestyle as hers. The group were laughing once in a while while chatting animatedly.
