The moment Christian enters the hall, all of the other guests started to talk to him wanting to get his attention while Karol feels like an outsider with the overwhelming attention.
Yet that unwanted feeling doesn't make her back down from standing next to her mate as they belong together as Christian hold onto her hand not letting it go while she looks around and searches for their family.
After a few minutes of looking left and right, lady luck was on her side as she spotted them talking and mingling around. Immediately she pulls slightly onto Christian's sleeves to get his attention.
"I saw them, let's go,"
"Wait for a moment-"
Said Christian politely yet was dragged before he could finish his sentence by none other than his mate.
"It's inappropriate to just leave them behind you know"
"Whatever Christian, I will always go for my family first and I know, it's just that I feel so left out at that moment"
Before Christian could reply to her, they both reach their destination.
"Hi, guys,"
"Hey" reply the rest of them as some of them sipped their champagne while the others engaged in a conversation with the other people.
A few minutes later the rest of the families was busy talking to the other guests leaving Karol once again feeling left out and this time she decided to walk off from that place by giving excuses to her sister.
"Sissy, I need to go to the loo for a moment if you saw Christian do tell him that okay,"
With a nod from her sister, Karol walks away from them and heads over to the waiter that was busy refilling the food and drinks by the side of the hall. In a polite and soft tone she asked;
"Excuse me, can you point to me where is the loo?"
The small waiter sudden halted his action the moment Karol ask him as he keep on looking down at his feet. Without wasting much time he instantly responds; "Please follow me miss, I'll bring you to the loo," remains looking down at his feet as he walks away from the banquet.
Karol quietly follows the waiter but as she walks further away she could feel people looking at her and murmur lowly, too low that she can't catch any of them that makes her ignore them.
"Here it is miss,"
"Thank you so much,"
After finishing, her business Karol walk towards the hall but halted her movement as she saw some girl was clinging onto Christian making her roll her eyes while softly shaking her head.
She then turns around and walks towards the south wing searching for a quiet place or the back yard or a garden to kill her time.
She walks aimlessly for a couple of minutes before reaching the backyard that was connected to the man-made jungle.
She then walks over towards the provided chair and tables, and take her seat while looking at the dark man-made jungle in front of her as she takes a deep breath just enjoying the moment.
But her moment alone was cut short as she was interrupted by the rude people who make a scene.
One of the ladies repeatedly utter; 'stupid omega,' as she drags the small waiter towards the back yard, the very same waiter who was keep looking on his feet without looking up.
The lady then pushed him roughly away from her making him fall a few meters away from them making Karol look at them all in a puzzled yet angry expression.
Without any care for the small waiter, she spits; "Why did you even appear in front of me?!" while the other two ladies just smiling and sipping their champagne enjoying their view.
The same lady continues her assault; "Didn't. I. Tell. You. To. Fuck. Off. Bef-" but her action was cut off by Karol as she confronted her.
Karol couldn't just watch his action as each time she emphasised her word she kicked the poor waiter who was defenceless laying on the ground while covering his head without retaliating.
With an angry expression, Karol walk over towards them while she said; "Stop it! What are you doing?!".
"This is none of your business,"
Karol stand in front of the waiter, held her hands out and pull the waiter up; "The moment you kick him merciless it already becomes my business," while dusting his pants off.
"You-" said the first bully but was cut by the other lady who's standing far from them.
"Let it be, let's go,"
Karol didn't spare any glance at them as she was concerned about the waiter;
"You okay?"
"Yes, I'm okay. Thank you"
This is the very first time he looks at Karol while smiling with gratitude for her intervention.
"You have a cute smile," said Karol as she tries to lift his mood while bringing him towards the nearest chair, as she continues; "Wait here for a bit yea, I'll come back with the first aid," then off she goes, leaves the waiter alone and walks towards the other waitress who happens to pass through.
"Excuse me miss, do you have a first aid box here?"
"Just a moment miss"
A few minutes later the waitress walks over to Karol while holding the first aid in her hands.
"Here you go miss, if you are done with it please return to the kitchen staff,"
"Thank you and I will,"
Replied Karol as she takes the first aid and walks over to the waiter who's obediently seat at the chair. Karol takes her seat next to him, open the first aid box then she holds his chin "Let me look at you," and slowly pushes up reveal his face to her.
"There you are. Wow, you have beautiful light hazel eye colour" said Karol in awe as she smiles at him while winking before applying medicine to his wound.
"And it's done. There you go cutie"
"Thank you so much for being gentle and kind to me," said the waiter.
"Most welcome cutie pie. May I know what's your name?"
"It's Sam,"
"Hi Sam, my name is Karol and you remind me of my sister because she has dimples too when she smiles,"
"I bet your sister is beautiful and thank you for saving me, Karol,"
"She is and kind too. Anyway, I need to get back inside before my family tear this place apart. Get lots of fresh air okay, see you soon cutie pie"
Karol smiled at him, gather the first aid kit and walks away from him towards the door. She then enters the building walks aimlessly searching for the kitchen area to return the first aid box before she rejoins the banquet but as always she gets lost.
