Chapter 251 Encounter Again: Indifference
'Ding dong!' Her message notification sounded.
It was a message from Sara.
【Anna, I just finished my work; what do you mean you're not coming back?】
【Also, the news now is about Katherine, right? That little bitch, I recognized her at a glance.】
【You're staying in Crownhaven? Is it because of Mr. Vittorio?】
Anna was taken aback.
【I wouldn't stay here for him! On the contrary, I almost didn't stay because of him.】
【I'm staying because DuoNyx Entertainment signed me, guaranteed an annual salary of ten million, and they'll promote me. I want to try and change my future life and lifestyle.】
As soon as the message was sent, a voice message came in.
"Ah! You signed with DuoNyx Entertainment! I'm so jealous! That’s so awesome! Are you sure you're not joking?"
"Anna, I'm going to run to you and be your little assistant!"
"I'm booking a flight tonight, and I'll come see you tomorrow!"
Anna was dumbfounded.
What kind of best friend was this? One second, she was asking if it was real, the next second she was booking a flight. Wasn't she too impulsive?
She opened her mouth, "It's true. Penny and I are now living in the company's dormitory, and I'll officially start working in a few days. Are you sure you want to come over? What about your restaurant and house?"
Sara's restaurant, a specialty restaurant, had been doing well over the years. That house was also bought with all their savings.
Leaving would cause a big change.
But the possibilities Crownhaven and DuoNyx Entertainment offered were too great to pass up on.
She said, "The restaurant can be managed by the store manager, and the house can be left empty. In any case, I don't care; we share both blessings and difficulties; I want to cling to you and be your assistant. I want to help you reach the peak of life, which means I’ll also reach the peak. Maybe I could meet my true love in Crownhaven!"
Anna didn’t know what to do with her, but she missed Sara when she was in Crownhaven before, and it would be nice if she could come over.
"Okay, send me a message when you arrive tomorrow, and I'll pick you up."
"I'm going to pack!"
She left the chat as soon as she said it.
The next day at noon, Sara arrived.
Anna took Penny to pick her up, but surprisingly, the address she sent was not the airport, but a five-star restaurant not far from the airport.
She was curious and confused, "Hello, I'm looking for the guests at table 12."
"Okay, miss, please follow me." The waiter politely led Anna into the restaurant.
The open-style luxury restaurant was incredibly stylish, with elegant and polite guests.
Table 12 was located in the middle; it was conspicuous and bright, but the guests sitting at the table were even more conspicuous!
The man was gentle and elegant, and the woman was beautiful and precious. They were a stunning and eye-catching couple, who were pleasing to the eye, just like movie-stars.
Simon? Mirlinda? How come they were here?
"Anna, Penny, you're here? Come and sit." Sara's voice sounded.
Anna looked at her, walked over awkwardly, and whispered, "Wait, why are they here?"
She clearly didn't say they were here!
The little girl was quite happy, "Sara! Future daddy! Great, you're all here."
Penny calling him future daddy made everyone feel very awkward now.
Mirlinda's beautiful face stiffened slightly.
Anna quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, the child hasn't adjusted yet."
She then instructed Penny, "Penny, from now on, call him Mr. Dalio."
Penny pursed her lips, "Why? Mr. Dalio said he wanted to be my daddy; he doesn't want to be my daddy anymore?
Future daddy, don't you like me and Mommy anymore? Is that why you don't want me to call you future daddy?"
The little girl blinked her eyes, which were now filled with tears, looking confused and pitiful; it was really heartbreaking.
Simon furrowed his brows, stood up, and opened his arms to pull the little girl into a hug.
He sat back down and gently comforted her, "Sweetie, how could future daddy not like you? You can call me whatever you like." The implication was clear: he liked them. He liked the little girl, and her mommy too!
Mirlinda's slender nails dug into her palm, leaving visible marks. How dare he! In front of her and their child, he allowed another child to call him daddy and even replied that he didn't dislike it. In other words, he still liked them! Had he ever considered her feelings as his wife?
Sara chuckled coldly. The more twisted Mirlinda's face was, the happier she felt. Even though Anna might not be the best match for Mr. Dalio and didn't have the best conditions, in her eyes, Anna was the best girl. Mr. Dalio genuinely liked Anna; they were a legitimate couple. Mirlinda was the mistress who had forcefully intruded. She was shameless! Anna could tolerate it and take a step back, but she couldn't.
She had specifically asked Simon to bring Mirlinda today, wanting to stand up for her best friend. Everything was going well, without saying or doing anything, they had already infuriated that little bitch.
She opened her mouth with a smile, "Penny, you shouldn't call him future daddy anymore. Mr. Dalio has to be the father of another woman's baby. If the baby knew, it would be unhappy." Her voice was sweet, filled with the gentleness of coaxing a child, but in reality, she was mocking Mirlinda.
Penny, being a child, was innocent, "Oh, I see. Then I won't fight with the baby for daddy! After all, the baby is innocent." Even a child said the baby was innocent; wasn't that implying that the adults were bad? Mirlinda's expression soured.
With a loud "bang", the glass in her other hand fell and shattered on the floor, splashing water everywhere. This action attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
Simon put down Penny as his noble gaze finally landed on Mirlinda, "Are you okay?"
Anna also came forward, handing her a napkin, "Miss Greco, here, wipe it off." Mirlinda wanted to scream that she was not okay! At the same time, she wanted to slap Anna, this bitch, pretending to be a good person! Shameless! But there were countless eyes on her; if she lost her temper, she would be trending within half an hour.
She suppressed her anger, "I'm fine; I was just distracted. I didn't get hurt; it's nothing."
Simon let out a sigh of relief. Seeing Anna taking care of Mirlinda, he naturally took the napkin from her hand and wiped the water off Mirlinda's knee. The scene seemed harmonious on the surface. Among the gazes of the people around, one was extremely dark and deep, it came from —— Giorgio.
He had been assessing airport advertising investments recently. After Charlie woke up clear-headed last night and everything seemed fine, he came to work today and was now having lunch. He didn't expect to run into Anna and Simon. Could she really get along with Simon's wife? Was she planning to willingly become Simon's lover?
Beside him was Katherine.
Damn Anna, she hadn't left Crownhaven after all! After seeing Giorgio's obviously gloomy face, she said, "What a coincidence, my sister is here with Mr. Dalio; shall we join them?"
Giorgio's lips curled into a cold smile, "No need." He sat down at a nearby table, picked up the menu, and ordered.
Katherine was surprised, then smirked. It seemed that Anna wasn't as important to Giorgio as she thought. If that was the case... then she needed to seize this opportunity.
