Chapter 180 Let Me Cool Down
"What... what are you doing? Let go!" Anna was both anxious and embarrassed, feeling like a startled deer.
Compared to that, Giorgio's noble expression didn't change in the slightest, maintaining its dignity, naturalness, and elegance.
He stared at her; each word carefully enunciated, "You have a few days to figure out how to calm me down before Katherine wakes up. Otherwise, the consequences will be more than you can bear, understand?"
Anna's face turned pale. How was she supposed to calm him down?
Regrettably, now wasn't the time to argue. If she delayed any longer, Mrs. Stefanelli would open the door, and everything would be completely ruined!
She nodded hastily, "Let go quickly." With their faces so close, her cheeks turned crimson.
Giorgio narrowed his elongated eyes, lowered his head, and gently kissed her lips.
“It’s a deposit, looking forward to your performance,” he said.
Then, he finally released her. But Anna remained in place, her mind blank! Is he crazy? How could he kiss her!
Feeling the warmth and softness of his lips, she felt her heart racing and accelerating.
What did he think she was? How could he kiss her so casually!
"Anna, what did Giorgio say to you just now?" Carla's curious voice came up.
Anna suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Mrs. Stefanelli walking into the room, nervously saying, "Nothing, just chatting, telling me to have a good rest and donate blood to Katherine."
Carla seemed suspicious and noticed something off about Anna’s lips and flushed face. She inquired further, "What happened to your lips? And why is your face so red?"
Anna quickly wiped her mouth and made an excuse,
"Mr. Vittorio closed the door, the air inside is not circulating well. I feel thirsty, so I kept licking my lips. The redness of my face is also because of this stuffy air. Do you think something is going on between me and Mr. Vittorio, and he kissed me?"
Carla found Ann’s response so absurd that it was almost comical. She chuckled, dismissing any suspicions.
"How is that possible? Who is Giorgio? He is such a distinguished and virtuous man; how could he kiss you? Alright, rest well and get better so you can donate blood to Katherine."
She turned around and left. Anna breathed a sigh of relief, finally resolving the situation. She took a step and walked into the bathroom, looking at her flushed face in the mirror, turned on the faucet, and splashed cold water on her face.
She needed to wake up from this strange experience. He had just kissed Katherine in the room before, kissing such a thing, he casually made it up, it wasn't anything at all, don't have any emotions.
After washing her face, Anna lied down on the spacious bed, closed her eyes, and calmed her mind.
Between her and him, it had never been her fault, it was his fault. She still had to turn around and please him, how shameless can he be?
But she could feel that what Giorgio said earlier was not a joke, he could say it and definitely do it. Even for Penny's sake, she couldn't challenge his authority.
And with only about 7 days left, how could she please him? Soothe him? The thought gave her a headache.
Anna took out her phone and sent a tweet, if she didn't send it, she worried that others would suspect. And, for maintaining his relationship with Katherine, he should be somewhat grateful to her, right?
Message Sent.
"Ding~" the sound of a message came. It was a message from Sara:
[Anna, I just found this novel, it has a published version, give me the address and I'll mail it to you.]
A novel? Got it! Enrico is Giorgio's good friend. if she could help Enrico and Lucia reconcile, such a big gesture, he should be able to calm down and forgive her, right?
Even if it doesn't work, Enrico is also a powerful ally to lean on, so Enrico's help at this moment!
Anna thought this was worth a shot and quickly replied:
【No need, I'll just read the electronic version. Thank you, Sara. Love you.】
Next, Anna immersed herself in a frenzy of reading novels.
While reading, she also took notes on how the male protagonist managed to change the female protagonist's mind, recording each point meticulously.
In the evening, the maid asked her to come down for dinner, but she didn't go. In the end, it was Rizzo who personally brought the meal to her room.
"Anna, what are you reading?"
"A novel." Anna casually replied, clearly absorbed.
Rizzo initially intended to have a conversation with her, but seeing her like this, he had to give up. "The dinner tonight has been adjusted. I've left it here for you. Please remember to eat."
"Mhmm." Anna nodded; her eyes still fixated on the phone screen.
Helpless, Rizzo left. On his way out, he coincidentally ran into Fabio, he said, "Mr. Stefanelli, since you've had a kidney transplant before, if you have time, I can conduct a comprehensive examination for you."
Fabio declined, "I'm in good health, no need for an examination. Focus all your attention on Katherine. From now on, call me Fabio like when we were studying."
He was polite and composed, actually a decent person. The only exception was how he treated Anna, with brutal cruelty. Now, his attitude towards her was noticeably different from before. He asked coldly, "What is Anna doing in her room?"
Rizzo's gaze deepened, "She said she's a bit tired and resting."
"Huh, donating some blood is nothing but an attempt to gain sympathy. Don't be fooled by her." With those words, Fabio walked away.
Rizzo shook his head with a sigh of emotion. Was it because of the kidney donation that he despised Anna so much? It seemed that he must clarify the situation given the opportunity.
Meanwhile, Anna remained completely unaware of what was happening outside, fully immersed in reading the novel.
At 7 o'clock, after her two-hour live streaming session, she continued reading.
She read all the way until four in the morning, witnessing the moment when the female protagonist forgave the male protagonist, and then finally went to sleep.
The next day marked day 9. If calculated according to the 15-day timeframe, Katherine would be awake in just 6 days. Anna had to make the most of her time to please Giorgio.
Once he was awake, she messaged:
【I've found a way to please Mr. Moretti. Can you arrange a meeting with him or give me Mr. Moretti's address so I can send something over?】
Normally, the home address of someone as important as Enrico wouldn't be easily revealed.
The key was that Tom was eager to know the method, and besides, if Giorgio could be involved, who knows, Giorgio might have another fit.
He replied: 【Tonight, Enrico and I have a game, same address as last time. Come over.】
Anna was torn. Should she go in person? What if Giorgio becomes uncontrollable? However, if she didn't go, time was running out, and being able to explain things to Enrico personally was the best option. She decided to go. Having Enrico's undivided attention was crucial.
Co and Tom were there, she didn't believe he could do anything to her.
"What are you going out for?" However, when Anna was about to leave, Carla stopped her.
Davide's gaze fell on her too. "Katherine is about to wake up. It's better not to go out in these last few days, so as not to cause any trouble. It's not good for you."
It sounded nice, but wasn't it just because they were afraid, she would spread bad rumors about Katherine?
Anna didn't want to go in the first place, but the more they insisted, the less she wanted to be their slave and servant.
She smirked and said, "Sorry, I have to go tonight because..."
