Chapter 189 Worried about him?
Simon.
He must have seen the news from last night and called to ask how she was doing. For some reason, thinking about last night when she was kissed by him as they slept, made her feel guilty. She distanced herself from Giorgio, feeling like a thief, and answered the call; "Simon."
Giorgio noticed her little action and his face darkened slightly.
On the phone, Simon was concern and asked, "I only saw the news from last night this morning. Were you mistreated? You were supposed to be staying peacefully with the Stefanelli family, so why did you meet him again?"
Anna pressed her lips together, feeling guilty and apologetic as she explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't specifically go to see him. I had something to give to Mr. Moretti, so I had no choice but to go there. Don't worry, I'm fine now, and I will be extra careful from now on."
She didn't go to see him. But she did care about Simon's feelings.
Giorgio felt a slight decrease in his aura as he watched her carefully explaining to Simon, which inexplicably annoyed him. Suddenly, he spoke up, "Little Tony, give me the information on the Southern City development project."
Little Tony was confused. What information? Wasn't it already sent to Mr. Vittorio's email earlier?
Anna was also stunned. She had just said that she didn't need to see Giorgio specifically, yet here he was speaking up. How embarrassing.
"Um... Viviana Vittorio was suspicious, so, I temporarily went to the company with him. There really isn't any other involvement," she explained anxiously. The more she explained, the more infuriated Giorgio became.
He looked at her and said, "Little Tony, last night was too abrupt. After work today, I want you to move mine and Katherine's clothes from the villa to the Vittorio mansion."
Although he mentioned Katherine, it was Anna who was currently playing Katherine's role.
Once again, poor Little Tony was innocently involved, feeling like crying and missing home.
Simon was not unintelligent and naturally felt that something was not right. He asked, "Are you and him going to play as a couple again?"
Anna had no idea what Giorgio was up to. This despicable man was always so unpredictable.
She glared at Giorgio, saying, "No, it's... I need to take care of Charlie now. Anyway, Simon, don't worry. I know my limits. It's only for a few days, as soon as Katherine wakes up, I'll immediately return to Vista Heights."
Simon believed Anna, but he didn't believe Giorgio. As a man, he could sense that Giorgio's feelings towards Anna were not that simple.
However, for now, he didn't want to pressure her too much, so he said, "Anna, if you care about me as you claim to, of course I’ll believe you. Call me if anything happens, I'll come to pick you up anytime. Trust me, I can protect you, okay?"
This message was not exactly meant for Anna, but for Giorgio beside her. Anna felt relieved and thanked Simon, feeling guilty for betraying his trust and his tenderness.
After hanging up the phone, she took a deep breath and looked at Giorgio, asking, "What exactly do you want to do? If we cooperate with each other and quietly get through these few days, wouldn't that be better?" The woman was angry at this moment, her shoulders trembling slightly due to her fluctuating emotions.
In an instant, Giorgio's deep eyes turned icy cold, staring at her with a chilling intensity. "What? Are you so worried that Simon might misunderstand? Frustrated?"
Anna replied, "Yes, he is my boyfriend. Of course, I don't want him to misunderstand! And I thought that you, Mr. Vittorio, even know that. you still intentionally do such things. Last night was the same, and the banquet before that. Do I really bother you that much? Do you have to make things difficult for me?"
"Why is it that you only find happiness in challenging situations?" Anna questioned, her words filled with anger, tinged with hints of hysteria and resentment. In her eyes, defiance and despair were the prevailing emotions.
Giorgio regarded her like a trapped animal, a sharp pang piercing his heart. He commanded, "Get out of the car. You look really annoying when you're angry at him and me." his tone cold and unwavering.
Little Tony, who was driving, was startled. This is an elevated bridge, and parking or letting someone off was not allowed. "Mr. Vittorio, it might not be possible for Miss Stefanelli to get off here."
Anna was also scared. Who had done something wrong now? Who needed to explain and apologize? Did he genuinely intend to make her leave the car? It would be even more unfortunate if she got off under the elevated bridge. It would definitely make news headlines and go viral.
She crossed her arms, grabbed the seat belt, and leaned back in the seat. "I'm not getting off. You can get off yourself."
Giorgio was clearly enraged, but now that she was acting unreasonable, he had no way to vent his anger. And he cursed in frustration. “Damn it!”
In the end, the car smoothly arrived at the underground parking lot of the Vittorio Group. As soon as the car stopped, a figure immediately emerged. "Miss Stefanelli, are you okay?" It was Rizzo.
"What are you doing here?"
Rizzo said, "Mr. Vittorio contacted me in the morning and told me to wait here. I'll draw your blood immediately. Don't worry, no one will find out. Were you mistreated yesterday?"
Anna was surprised. Drawing blood in the car? Even if suspicions arose, it could be explained as "intimacy in the car." What a clever solution. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slim and fair arms. "I'm fine. I'll explain everything as soon as possible, just like in the news. No one is targeting me."
"That's good. I prepared a recipe for you to replenish your blood and nourish your lifeforce. Others will think it's for pregnancy, so they won't suspect anything. There are also pills made from extracts. Remember to take them every day and take care of yourself." While drawing Anna's blood, Rizzo gave hurried instructions filled with concern.
This woman not only confused Simon, but even a doctor she had just met could be captivated by her. She has quite a talent for seducing men.
Giorgio frowned, "Does Rizzo think that if she stays by my side, I will withhold her meals?"
Rizzo was slightly startled, but smiled at him. "Mr. Vittorio, that’s not what I meant. As a doctor, it's my duty to care of the patient. Moreover, Miss Stefanelli's body is weak, and generously donated blood to save a life. Her spirit is commendable, so naturally, she should be taken care of."
Giorgio suspected that Rizzo might also have a soft spot for Anna. He averted his gaze and no longer paid attention.
Ten minutes later, everything was done. Rizzo finally spoke, "Miss Stefanelli, Mrs. Stefanelli asked me to tell you to hold on for a few more days. You won't be mistreated afterwards."
These words are not simple.
Anna understood the underlying message and smiled faintly, "Thank you for relaying the message, I will do my best."
"Um, if you experience any discomfort, contact me anytime," Rizzo said, then smiled at Anna and Giorgio before leaving the car.
Giorgio took Anna directly to the office. It was as if nothing had happened. Anna stayed in his lounge. It was a safe environment, free from dangerous and conflicting with Mrs. Stefanelli, providing a serene environment.
It wasn't until late afternoon when the workday concluded that Anna returned to the Vittorio mansion with Giorgio. It was 7 o’clock now, and the mansion’s lights radiated opulence and grandeur.
Anna thought about her son inside and felt not anxious, but rather a sense of elation. When she stepped inside however, a figure suddenly darted out, blocking their way.
