Chapter 135 Where Did The Exposure Happen?
Who is Katherine?
Before the first ten years, perhaps not everyone knew, but in the last ten years, all of Crownhaven knew that she was Giorgio's fiancée.
She was decisive, resolute, and a workaholic. Outside, she was strict and demanding, not allowing such foolish incidents to happen.
However, at this moment, she was the one who got injured and still…
"Speaking for the chefs?"
The ladies were very surprised.
The manager was also taken aback, as he had heard that Mr. Vittorio and Mrs. Vittorio were not to be trifled with. He personally came tonight to take care of things here.
The current Mrs. Vittorio was so easy to talk to?
No, just now Mr. Vittorio got so angry, he must give an explanation, or else he might get burned.
He solemnly said, "Mrs. Vittorio, it is better to check to be more at ease. This is indeed our negligence, and the chefs should be punished."
Anna was truly anxious.
These three years, she had looked for countless jobs and knew how precious it was to have a good job. She absolutely could not harm anyone.
She pursed her lips and said seriously, "Manager, it's really not necessary. Actually, I didn't pay attention when drinking the soup, it's my own fault, not yours. Don't make a big fuss about it. I have no pain at all now, so all of you can leave, there's nothing to worry about."
She was serious and sincere.
The manager thought she was really a good person and wanted to thank her and leave, but when he thought of Giorgio, he didn't dare and anxiously glanced over.
Giorgio glanced at Anna, confirming that there were no major problems. His brows relaxed and he said, "Go ahead, just don't make the same mistake again."
"Yes, yes, thank you, Mr. Vittorio, thank you, Mrs. Vittorio." The manager was extremely grateful and looked at Anna with gratitude before leaving the private room to check on the kitchen.
The air inside the room calmed down.
Giorgio took a step closer and looked at Anna.
"Are you okay? Should I have Tom or Edith come to check on you?"
Giuseppe also said, "It's best to have a look, to avoid worrying everyone."
Both of them spoke with concern.
But Anna knew that Giuseppe was only like this because he had a special illicit relationship with Katherine.
As for Giorgio, he might be playing the role of a good husband, or he might genuinely be concerned for her, his fake wife.
In any case, if it weren't for Katherine's identity, she would never receive such courteous greetings from these two important figures.
"Don't worry, I'm really fine. The scenery here is beautiful, and the food is delicious. Don't let me affect your mood. Please sit down, let's continue eating."
After speaking, she smiled and sat down once the waiter had cleaned up the broken dishes.
Giuseppe stared deeply at her, with a probing look in his eyes. After a moment, he wiped the corner of his eye and elegantly returned to his seat, sitting down.
His seat was on the opposite side, halfway around the table.
Giorgio scoffed coldly, sat down, picked up his soup, and checked it over to make sure there were no bones before passing it over.
No words were spoken, no actions were taken.
But this small gesture was heartwarming.
Anna unexpectedly looked at him, his handsome face, his straight nose, and the faint expression, inexplicably giving off a gentle feeling.
Damn it, how could she see kindness in such a cold man?
She politely said "thank you" and lowered her head to drink the soup.
The rest of the meal went smoothly with no further issues.
Not only that, the boss himself came over in person later to toast Anna and thank her for her presence.
In addition to the extra food, Anna was given a membership card by the owner, no need to make an appointment anytime in the future.
She was absolutely the luckiest person in Crownhaven.
Anna was pleasantly surprised by the environment and the hanfu-clad servers there. She didn't refuse and accepted the offer.
The events of that evening quickly became a hot topic on social media.

Among the trending topics, there were high-definition videos that clearly captured the whole incident. Fans and bystanders across the internet watched with worry and couldn't help but feel sorry for Katherine.
At the same time, they praised Katherine for her friendly character.
"Wow, I've always heard that Katherine is strict, but I didn't expect her to be so gentle and lovely!"
"That's right, even though she was injured, she still pleaded on behalf of the chefs."
"Did you guys notice? When she heard that the chefs were going to be fired, her hands clenched tightly. It wasn't an act, it was genuine."
"Yes, I noticed that too!"
One comment after another, all positive.
It could be said that this was the first time Katherine had made such a good impression.
After the dinner party ended, several ladies sat in the car, watching the news and fuming with anger.
"What's wrong with this Katherine? Wasn't she known for her bad temper? How could she act like this?"
"Exactly, in the past, she would fire a servant for the slightest mistake. Now she has completely changed."
"Ah, we wanted to tarnish her reputation, but instead, it turned out like this."
"She must be faking it, right?"
"We have to make her reveal her true colors next time."
Meanwhile, Anna sat in the car on her way home.
Giorgio had noticed a man dressed similarly to the detective standing outside the building, but he didn't think anything of it.
Giorgio sat next to her, dressed in a tailored suit, exuding an air of gentleness. The soft car lights shone on his stunning face, and even in a simple sitting position, he couldn't be ignored.
His magnetic voice interrupted the silence, "You almost exposed yourself today."
"Huh? How did I expose myself?"
She followed his advice and ate with elegance, chewing slowly and delicately. So how could she have exposed herself?
Giorgio explained slowly, "Although Katherine is gentle towards you and me, she is more efficient and unsympathetic when dealing with others. You should remember what Simon said back then."
Simon had said, "I heard that Mrs. Vittorio is business-oriented and lacks sentiment".
In other words, solving the situation amiably was not Katherine's style if something went wrong. And that line about Katherine being gentle and virtuous towards both of them, haha, was it only for him?
Anna felt a bitter sweetness in her heart and smiled. "Okay, I understand. I'll be more careful next time. But I think it's difficult to play a role. I can't be perfect, and pretending to be someone else is tiring. I don't want to pretend, and I'm not used to it. So in the future, you should try to minimize our appearances in front of everyone."
After saying that, she crossed her arms and kept quiet.
Her eyes rested against the car window as a moment of respite. Giorgio actually had more to say. He wanted to tell her that she was fortunate tonight because from the high-definition video on the news, it could be seen that the attack had been premeditated. If she had shown her temper like Katherine, she would probably have already been attacked by now. But seeing her tired and indifferent expression, he decided not to say more. It was indeed tiring to play a role. He took out his phone and dialed the Stefanelli residence number.
"Mr. Stefanelli, has Katherine's condition improved these past few days?" He asked.
Calling so late in the night, showing concern for Katherine? Perhaps he thought she failed to play the role well and was almost exposed. He wanted Katherine to wake up soon and return to him. The night wind was cold. Anna's heart felt cold too. Unexpectedly, Giorgio spoke beside her.
"Has Katherine shown any signs of improvement?"
