Chapter 163 Going to Find Him Late at Night
Anna hesitated for two seconds, took a deep breath, and answered the call, "Hello?"
"Regarding the news, if someone calls to inquire, just politely decline, and I will handle the rest." The man's voice was deep, magnetic, and even through the phone, it sounded so good. At the same time, he remained calm in times of danger.
Anna was taken aback by the simplicity of his response. She had expected some coordination or discussion about their plan. However Giorgio’s composed demeanor left her surprised. She said, "Oh, don't worry, I still have some professional ethics and won't casually say anything. By the way, I was just about to send a message to clarify things."
Send a message to clarify? Giorgio was slightly surprised, but regained his composure and calmly said, "No need to send it. I'm busy; I'll hang up."
The next second, the call was disconnected. Anna was taken aback, surprised once again, caught off guard. She had just said she would help him clarify things, so why was he so indifferent?
Well, she had made herself clear that day, with his high emotional intelligence and strong self-esteem, it was natural that he would have no further involvement with her.
After all, the scummiest of men excelled at retreating and distancing themselves, not wasting time and bait on impossible fish, but instead shifting their focus as soon as possible.
He wouldn't control her or 'harass' her anymore. Indeed, men will be men. They flirt quickly and give up just as fast. It's actually good for her. After all, when she thought about the day, he forced her to apologize to Edith, her heart still ached...
Before she could fully process her thoughts, another incoming call interrupted her. She picked up the call, and the voice on the other end immediately questioned her actions.
"Anna, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you to replace Katherine properly, maintain good relations? How did this happen?"
. Anna began explaining," He was the one who got angry and caused trouble first, so it's not my fault, I..."
The caller, stern and unforgiving, cut her off, "You're still trying to justify yourself? Katherine, your father, we all don't dare to speak loudly to Giorgio, and here you are, arguing with him? Who gave you the guts? Go to Insomnia Club immediately to find Giorgio, I've arranged some reporters to secretly film you and release it to the news."
It was a firm and non-negotiable order. After giving the order, the call ended abruptly, leaving Anna speechless.
Clearly, the one in a disadvantageous position was Giorgio, so why were the Vittorio family and the Stefanelli family so anxious?
Anna barely had time to process the situation before more calls and messages inundated her. The Vittorio family urged her to make amends with Giorgio.
"Katherine, what's going on between you and Giorgio? Why did you argue? Grandma knows that Giorgio isn't gentle enough, but the situation is critical now. Quickly make up with Giorgio. I've arranged a live broadcast for tomorrow, so go find him now and discuss tomorrow's affairs."
Anna muttered, “So, it's all my fault, then? Shouldn't it be the man who comforts the woman after an argument? How could a prestigious family like this expect the woman to apologize first?”
She hung up the phone. Anna lay on the bed, refusing to pay any attention. 'Ding' 'Ding' Two consecutive text messages came in. One was from Carla, containing the exact location of Giorgio and a warning: [Anna, maintain this relationship, in the end you can leave safely...]
Then, there was another message from Viviana:
"Katherine, my heart is weak. Don't you want to see me fall ill? Besides, I gave you so many gifts and properties because I thought you were more sensible than anyone else. I believed you would be good with Giorgio. Now, you can't even handle this small matter. Other children would feel mentally unbalanced. So, you and Giorgio must reconcile."
This message seemed friendly, but it was actually a threat, just like before. If it wasn't resolved well, the properties would be taken back.
Suddenly, Anna felt that everyone in these wealthy families, even the kind-hearted elderly people, had their own agendas in their hearts. It could easily tilt towards one side and change at any moment. Helplessly, she took a deep breath, changed into a clean outfit, and went downstairs to find Giorgio.
Insomnia Club.
Vibrant and bustling, the dance floor was filled with seductive dancers performing provocative dances, accompanied by blaring trendy music.
This atmosphere was suitable for passionate couples and thrill-seekers. Making it unexpected for Giorgio to be at such a place.
No, his private life was already more chaotic than his appearance. Anna couldn't help but silently criticize him in her heart as she directly went to the private room according to the address in the message.
Click. The door to the private room opened. Surprisingly, it wasn't just Giorgio inside; Enrico, Tom, and Edith were also there. Edith was sitting next to Giorgio, smiling and talking about something, their relationship looking very intimate.
That smile was even more dazzling than the colorful lights. Did he not say he was busy but came here to accompany Edith? Anna's couldn’t help but feel a pang of sourness, embarrassment, and a hint of mockery. She seemed to have come at the wrong time. The few people on the luxurious sofa were slightly stunned when they saw Anna.
"Miss Stefanelli, why are you here?" Tom was the first to stand up and friendly approached the door. Anna pursed her lips and said, "Sorry, it's about the news. My mother asked me to come and handle it."
Tom reassured her, “For that reason, you don't have to worry at all. It's clear that someone is trying to smear Giorgio's name behind his back. No one will believe it, so let those people say what they want."
So, it seemed that they weren’t particularly concerned. Anna glanced at Giorgio on the sofa, his features obscured by shadows, making it challenging to discern his emotions. He remained silent and motionless, likely indication that he didn’t welcome her. A wry smile curled at the corner of her mouth. "In that case, I'll leave and not disturb you." Tom didn't stop her since they were discussing Enrico's private matters tonight.
Edith watched Anna's figure and her mouth curled with satisfaction. Giorgio, who had always been silent and cold, suddenly spoke up, "Since you're here, come in. Do you want people to photograph you leaving and create another news scandal?" His magnetic voice carried an indescribable chill.
There was a sense of oppression in the air, making it hard to refuse. Anna sneered inwardly. He is quite skilled at manipulating people. Reluctantly, she stopped in her tracks, turned around, closed the private room door, and walked over.
As Edith was sitting next to Giorgio, she didn't want to disturb them, and Tom was occupying a single sofa. Only Enrico had an empty seat beside him, so she went over and sat down.
Enrico furrowed his brows and stood up. "I have something to attend to. You guys enjoy yourselves." Then he walked away briskly.
His cold and unfriendly attitude was apparent. Edith complained, "You see, as soon as some people arrive, Enrico leaves. So irritating."
Anna couldn’t help but wonder why Enrico disliked her so much?
“You should leave as well.” At that moment, a cold and deep voice commanded.
It was Giorgio. The one he wanted to leave was Anna.
Edith cheered, "Exactly, let her go. Giorgio, go after Enrico and bring him back."
Anna hesitated; she didn't want to stay, but being asked to leave was unpleasant.
Besides, he was the one who let her in, and now he wanted her to leave? How unreasonable.
She glared at him fiercely and stood up angrily, ready to vent her anger.
But the next second, Giorgio turned his gaze, and his cold eyes fell upon Edith's face. "I was talking about you."
