Chapter 179 Woman, you piss me off.
Furthermore, her eagerness to distance herself and assert that she had no connection with him irritated him further.
Any woman would be thrilled to have a relationship with him, even if it meant they had to sacrifice ten years of their life. And if a relationship did happen, it would undoubtedly be celebrated far and wide. But she instead tried to bury it and forget it.
How much did she loathe him, exactly? After Anna finished explaining, she subconsciously glanced at Giorgio and found him coldly staring at her. She clarified their relationship, so he should be happy.
Why did he seem even more irritated? Did he hope she would get pregnant? Impossible. How could that be? It was more terrifying than a fairy tale.
Anna couldn't be bothered to think about it and quickly shifted her gaze to Rizzo. "Rizzo, I really can't stomach this supplement anymore. Can you make an exception for me and let me eat a normal meal today? Hmm? Please?"
Not many people liked the taste of the medicine, and she had been taking it for a whole week. Even if it was something delicious, she felt like throwing up. That's why she was pleading with Rizzo.
Not wanting to see her unhappy, so he said, "Alright, you can eat whatever you want for lunch today, and I'll adjust the plan for you tonight."
"Thank you! You're so kind. You're the gentlest and most understanding doctor I've ever met," Anna expressed her gratitude with a radiant smile, her eyes forming crescents.
Rizzo smiled and replied, "You really have a way with words."
"I'm telling the truth," Anna replied happily. If it's something she liked to eat, she could talk about it endlessly.
On the other side, Giorgio's face quickly turned ashen and gloomy. Her treatment towards him was no different from that of a newly acquainted doctor, but the reality was that she smiled brightly at Rizzo while being distant and indifferent towards him.
This differential treatment made him extremely unhappy. Everyone had their own thoughts during the meal, and Anna was quite content.
From grilled rib to Australian lobsters and steak, every dish was her favorite. After finishing the meal, with a full belly, she stood up super happily and decided to go upstairs for a nap.
"It's absolutely a great fortune in life," Mr. Stefanelli, Mrs. Stefanelli, Fabio, Rizzo, I'm going upstairs to rest. Call me if you need anything."
After saying that, she took steps upstairs.
She greeted everyone individually.
Except Giorgio!
Giorgio tightened his grip on the coffee cup, a subtle and dangerous tone resonated, as if it could shatter at any moment.
So be it, since arriving at the Stefanelli family’s residence until now, it has been a full two hours. In all that time, she either avoided him or pretended not to recognize him when they met. It seemed that she wasn't the person who had various intimate encounters with him in the past.
With a cold expression, he stood up and said, "I have something to discuss with her. You guys can chat for now."
Then, he left with an air of dignity and aloofness.
His calm footsteps and powerful aura were like a demon from hell.
The people present trembled, not doubting for a moment that there was an intimate relationship between the two.
After all, Giorgio's cold aura was chilling enough to freeze Anna to death.
Back in the room, Anna closed the door, intending to sleep.
A sudden "bang" disrupted her plans, as a slender hand as elegant as jade suddenly appeared on the door, blocking her movement. Following the well-tailored arm of a man, there was a stern face and icy eyes.
"Giorgio, Mr. Vittorio, do you need something from me?" Her voice was small, her eyebrows and eyes filled with resistance and nervousness.
Giorgio sneered, his tome biting, "Can't I look for you unless something is wrong? I remember someone enjoyed a night of passion with me. Not long ago, she even climbed onto my bed wearing a negligee. Our relationship doesn't seem so unfamiliar, does it?"
This was the Stefanelli family residence! He's still standing in the hallway! Who knows if a servant might pass by! How can he speak so brazenly, causing misunderstandings like this!
Anna pulled him into the room, her face pale, and closed the door. Her voice quivering, "Mr. Vittorio, all of that is in the past. I didn't do it on purpose. Can you not bring it up again?"
“In the past?” Giorgio raised an eyebrow coldly, "Miss Stefanelli, with your casual attitude, what happened can easily be referred to as the past, but I'm not as forgetful as you."
Anna blushed growing flustered, "What do you want, Mr. Vittorio? Don't forget, you're Katherine's husband and the CEO of the Vittorio Group."
As a married man with a noble status, all eyes were on him.
Giorgio narrowed his eyes, took a step forward, trapping her against the wall, glaring at her from up close, his tone weighted, "So, if you seduce me, do you know what kind of price you will pay?"
Anna was about to retort, but suddenly realized that he wasn't stating a fact, but rather threatening her!
As she said, he was Katherine's husband, a married man, and the CEO of a multinational corporation. Any scandal involving him would be entirely blamed on the woman, and with a slight move of his finger, he could manipulate the direction of public opinion.
Everyone would assume that she had ulterior motives, to cozy up to the powerful and even not sparing her own brother-in-law, and then they would curse her and hunt her down.
At that time, her life would be worse than death. Damn it! Threats didn't work, and now she was being threatened! Anna's arrogance vanished from her face, replaced by fear and unease.
"What do you want? You know that whatever happened between us was unintentional and not my intention. I hope you won't hold it against me."
Now, she spoke in a subdued tone, showing her understanding of the situation. Giorgio looked at her flushed lips, his eyes gleaming more mischievously.
"Not hold it against you?” His voice held a note of irony. “Look at the trouble you've caused and yet appeared unaffected. A prime suspect who we've never even met before. I tempted to crush you. Tell me, how do I calm the anger inside me?"
Anna was left speechless. Finally, she understood. Generally, in any relationship between a man and a woman, the man would possess a sense of control. Seeing a woman distancing herself from him, avoiding him, would make him even more displeased.
Her cold treatment today had provoked his pride and possessiveness, leading to this outburst of anger.
But who didn't trust her in the first place and thought poorly of her?
"By the way, I heard you called me a bastard. That matter must also be addressed." Giorgios’s voice turned dangerous and icy.
Anna's heart sank. Could it be that Mrs. Stefanelli even told Giorgio about this? This was bad!
She tried to save face with an awkward smile, "I was joking."
"Hmm." Giorgio held her chin tightly, lifting it with force. His eyes growing colder. The intensity of his gaze felt like a consuming fire.
Anna felt suffocated.
However, at that moment...
"Knock knock!" The sound of knocking came, followed by a voice outside the door.
"Giorgio, have you finished talking?"
It was Mrs. Stefanelli! Anna's body trembled fiercely, feeling like an ant on a hot pan.
Their proximity and the intimate nature of their conversation left her in a precarious position. If Carla were to see and find out, it would spell disaster!
She tried to push him away, raising her hands, but, Giorgio's tall figure took another step forward.
Directly pressing against her! With no gap between!
