Chapter 166 Performing a Full Act
The thought of sharing the same bed as Giorgio filled Anna with conflicting emotions. There was resistance, as what happened that night was like a sharp thorn that had deeply pierced her heart.
As for her nerves, well, it was late at night, and being alone together on a bed was rather awkward...
"Click." The door swung open. Giorgio's tall and elegant figure appeared at the doorway, wearing a black bathrobe with subtle patterns, exuding nobility and allure.
When he saw Anna, his arched eyebrow raised unexpectedly. "What are you doing here?"
Anna was startled by his sudden appearance, and she explained, "Um... Charlie said Viviana would secretly inspect if we slept together tonight, and I wondered if you had a solution. After all, Penny is also in the villa, and it would be hard to explain if we were discovered."
She made up an excuse hoping he could help.
Giorgio knew Charlie's idea and spoke seriously, "No one can change what Viviana wants to do. Moreover, considering her weak heart condition, it would be difficult for her to feel at ease without seeing it for herself. As for Penny, she will only look at us and won't go to the children's room."
After saying that, he paid no more attention to Anna and went downstairs to check on Blacky.
Anna stood frozen in place, feeling helpless and getting a headache. Could she really not escape sleeping with him?
She held her phone and walked into the room, looking at the large bed. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she hurried into the dressing room and brought out a revealing nightgown, tossing it on the floor.
Then, she took out a piece of clothing that Giorgio had rolled up into a bundle and placed it in the middle.
After Giorgio finished checking on Blacky upstairs, he saw her fidgeting on the bed and curiously raised his brows, asking, "What are you doing?"
Anna replied naturally, "Creating a scene. By having clothes on the floor, it's easy to make assumptions. And with a line separating them in the sheets, they won't be able to see anything."
In other words, the surface appearance was well taken care of while behind closed doors they kept their distance. No one was allowed to get too close.
Anna didn't hold back her resistance towards him.
Giorgio's gaze darkened faintly. Without saying a word, he raised his hand, untied his bathrobe, and simply threw it on the floor.
Under the light, his figure was amazing, with well-defined abs, chest muscles, and a noticeable V-line. Every muscle exuded a wild and energetic aura. His skin was even smoother than a woman's!
Anna's face turned red, and she quickly covered her eyes, asking, "Wh-What are you doing?"
Giorgio walked over with an elegant smile, saying, "Since we're acting, we should do the whole thing, right? Otherwise, there will only be women's clothes on the floor. Does it make sense without any men's clothes?"
Um... why hadn't she thought about that.
But couldn't he just throw another piece of clothing instead of undressing outright?
Anna felt frustrated and speechless. She turned her back to him, lay down, and pulled the blanket over herself. She couldn't be bothered with his antics.
Meanwhile, Giorgio looked at the back of her head exposed, and his expression turned icy cold. He turned off the main light and lay down, his tall and broad body making the bed instantly feel cramped.
Almost immediately, Anna moved away from him, comforting herself in her mind. Don't be nervous, don't care, he's just a scoundrel, who hurt you deeply. There's no need to get emotional or overthink about someone like him.
She took a deep breath and sent a message to Sara on her phone:
[Sara, do you remember that novel about the male lead chasing his wife? Which one was it? Can you send it to me?]
No reply came. It's this late, so she must be busy.
Anna casually opened Twitter and scrolled through the news to lighten the mood, hoping to fall asleep while scrolling.
Unexpectedly, she came across news about her and Giorgio!
#Mr. Vittorio Katherine passionately kisses Princess#
In the news, there were dynamic pictures. She was sitting on his lap, while he embraced her, holding her head with one hand as they passionately kissed. The dim and chaotic lights of the bar made the scene even more romantic and alluring.
A grid of nine photos captured various moments of their passionate exchange, each brimming with intensity.
There were even subsequent images of him carrying her through the colorful lights and walking through a lively and bustling crowd, each animated image...
"Also, beautiful! Just like scenes from a high-quality film!"
Netizens exploded with comments:
[Who said they were fighting? They are so loving!]
[I'll eat shit if these two break up!]
[Mr. Vittorio's actions clearly indicated he was pointing his chin. How could a group of blind people accuse him of laying a hand on a woman?]
[It's strange. We couldn't comment earlier. Someone must have intentionally smeared us.]
[Is this Mr. Vittorio's official response? So, domineering!]
[Ah, please provide a high-definition picture. I want to see it ten thousand times!]
[...]
In just under two hours, the comments surpassed one hundred thousand, with millions of likes, astonishingly high in popularity.
Katherine's fan base grew exponentially once again.
Anna never expected such a overwhelming response, nor did she expect so many people to place their trust in Giorgio. It seemed that her worries were completely unnecessary.
But the crucial point now was that the scene, when viewed from a third-person perspective was utterly awkward!
"Are you reminiscing while hiding in bed this late at night?" a man's deep and hoarse voice asked beside her.
Anna's ears turned hot, she hastily closed her phone and turned to look at him and said, "It's not that. I was just reading the news. I have the habit of checking it before I sleep. Stay away from me." Her voice was slightly louder, once again increasing the distance between them.
Giorgio looked at her plain yet delicate face. He pursed his moderately thick lips and meaningfully said, "Actually, your reaction was not bad at all."
Reaction! That was hardly a reaction from her!
Anna wanted to explain, but discussing this topic with him in the middle of the night would only make matters worse.
She turned away and chose to ignore him, going as far as hitting the back of his head. Her helplessness and panic fell into Giorgio's eyes, and he felt quite satisfied.
She couldn't sleep, and he felt at ease. He closed his eyes peacefully and went to sleep.
As Giorgio thought, Anna indeed had a sleepless night tonight! Beside her was the shallow breathing of a man, and in her mind, scenes replayed like a movie on loop.
She felt like she was going crazy, destined for a tormenting night.
The next morning brought gloomy weather, and mist hung in the air. For those who had to go to work, it was cold, chilly, and troublesome. However, for Viviana, the conditions was just right.
Before eight o'clock, she arrived at the villa and declared, "Giorgio, the weather is bad today. You don't need to go to the company. Stay home and do a live broadcast with Katherine."
Giorgio has always been resistant to appearing in public. He firmly believed that one's abilities should be judged, not their appearance.
He coldly responded, "Grandma, the news is fake, and I've already had someone handle it. There's no need for that."
Viviana's face fell. "It's necessary, of course it is. Those gifts and such can make anti-fans doubt that you two staged it. A live broadcast is constant and can best showcase your enduring affection. Plus, the news has already gone out. Look, the live stream is already open. You can't back down now."
Giorgio lowered his gaze and saw his own face magnified on the phone screen, with fans inside the stream actively commenting:
[Giorgio, live broadcast!
"..."
Giorgio remained silent, taken aback by the unexpected turn of events.
