Chapter 394 Does Mr. Vittorio Like to Have a Foot in Both Camps?
Anna's voice was loud. And her temper was fiery now. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe Anna as a prickly porcupine at this moment.
Giorgio watched her storm off and approached her, saying, "Being angry won't solve anything. Let's talk about the design."
His voice was always naturally magnetic and pleasant, like a spring breeze touching her heart.
Anna didn't want to see him right now. She stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him, saying,"Is it worth to talk about? You all think I'm accusing Katherine of plagiarism. Yes, my design is the same as hers, but I'm not so low as to steal her design. I came up with this plan after hearing you and Tony talking in the gazebo that morning. You didn't want it, so I picked it up and expanded on it myself. You want me to apologize to Katherine? That's impossible!"
She turned to leave after saying that.
Giorgio grabbed her, saying, "You all? When did I ever doubt you along with them? When did I ever ask you to apologize to Katherine?"
Anna said, "Isn't that why you came after me?"
Giorgio, being frustrated, tightened his grip, "Anna, I really want to open up your head and see what's inside!"
'He had deliberately told her the plan, sohow could he think she plagiarized it?' Anna thought.
Anna felt very unhappy upon hearing this.
She was already so miserable, but now he was indirectly regarding her stupid?
She raised her leg and kicked him hard.
Giorgio groaned in pain, but Anna didn't care, saying, "Yes, I'm stupid, Mr. Vittorio. You'd better stay away from someone as dumb as me, lest you insult your superior intellect."
Giorgio was exasperated. It wasn't the first time he realized she had a straightforward temper and explosive personality. When provoked, she could make his lungs hurt. But every time she got angry, he was still taken aback.
He rubbed his sore leg and stood up straight, saying, "Was that a compliment or an insult?"
"Exactly what you think. I'm leaving now. And I don't want to waste your precious time."
Anna turned to leave.
Giorgio was utterly helpless with her and smirked, "This is the surveillance footage of Katherine going to your room this morning.Besides, her document history only shows the modification time, which doesn't reveal the initial draft."
'In other words, the initial draft might not be the Mexican restaurant chain's design! She had forgotten such an important detail!' Anna thought.
Anna stopped completely and turned around, looking at the phone in Giorgio's hand, confused, "Wasn't it you who told her about the design?"
"Why would I tell her about the design?" Giorgio frowned in confusion.
He didn't seem to be faking it.
'So, it really was Katherine who stole her idea!' Anna thought.
Anna's eyes lit up again as she walked over to take the phone from his hand.
But Giorgio moved his arm back, she unexpectedly fell into his arms. Her face landed right on his chest, and she could smell his unique, pleasant scent. She felt awkward and blushed, lifting her face,
"What are you doing? Weren't you going to show me?"
She tried to cover her embarrassment with a slightly louder voice and wanted to step back.
Giorgio took the opportunity to hold her waist, "It takes ten minutes to retrieve the surveillance and twenty minutes to find it. You should first tell me why you misunderstood me."
His words implied that as soon as the incident happened, he went to get the surveillance footage to help her.
It wasn't sweet talk or consolation but direct action to provide the help she needed most. In solving problems, he was indeed very mature and steady. Perhaps that's why he stood at the top.
Anna's heart trembled slightly, her emotions complex. At first, when everyone misunderstood her, no one spoke up for her, so she instinctively thought he did too. Unexpectedly, not only did Giorgo not doubt her, but he also helped her. She felt awkward and uneasy, not knowing how to explain.
Giorgio stared at her face and smirked, "Is it because I didn't stand up for you at that time and didn't speak for you?"
His light tone hit Anna's heart, and she hastily said, "That's not it. I didn't think of that, really."
Her panic explained everything.
Giorgio smiled slightly and said, "If I spoke up for you without evidence, it would only make people misunderstand you more and create more resentment. I thought that wasn't what you needed. Now you understand, next time if something similar happens, I'll stand up for you immediately."
Anna was moved by his words. At the same time, his last sentence made it seem like he was her boyfriend or they had a special relationship, and he should stand up for her.
Her cheeks turned even redder, and she said awkwardly, "No, that's not what I meant. You've already helped me a lot. Mr. Vittorio, thank you for standing on the side of justice."
She was very clever, and her evaluation of him distanced their relationship immediately.
Giorgio frowned, "You think I helped you just because of justice?"
"Yes."
'What else could it be?' Anna thought.
He and Katherine were sleeping together at night, even thinking about their baby's name.
'Why else would he help her?'
Giorgio really felt like strangling her. He held her and walked into the nearby woods, pinning her against a tree. He lowered his head and kissed her hard on the lips. His kiss was forceful, domineering, and punishing.
After kissing her, he released her and warned, "Think carefully about why."
Anna's lips were stinging from his kiss, covered with the moisture and heat he brought.
She hated herself for not being able to hate his scent, even though she should stay away from him and despise him.
She asked sharply, "Mr. Vittorio, do you like having a foot in both camps at once? Or do you enjoy juggling several women at the same time? Does that make you have a great sense of accomplishment?"
Giorgio didn't understand her logic. He looked at her red lips, saying, "I just lose control like this with you."
Anna bit her lip and gritted her teeth, saying, "Let's not talk about anything else. Last night, you were clearly making love with Katherine, and now you deny it? I didn't expect Mr. Vittorio to be so quick to deny everything once he buckles his belt. If Katherine knew, she'd be heartbroken."
Anna always had new ways to insult and scold people.
Giorgio, seeing her angry face, slowly realized something, a strange light flashing in his eyes, "Are you jealous?"
Anna was stunned. Then she fluttered her eyelashes and shouted,"How could I be jealous? Don't use your super-intelligent brain to think of impossible things, okay? I'm a normal person on Earth , unlike you, whose thoughts are in outer space."
She said a string of words, hysterically and quickly.
Giorgio just smiled lightly when watching her lips move.
Didn't she know that the more intensely she reacted,, the more it indicated guilt?
"Are you done?" he asked.
Anna felt something was off pursed her lips,
"I'm not done, I still…!!"
Her remaining words were completely swallowed by his lips.
Every time he wanted to kiss her, she couldn't avoid it.
Anna didn't want to waste her energy.
But thinking that he might have kissed Katherine like this last night, maybe even more passionately...
She felt very uncomfortable.
