Chapter 525 Angry? Huh?
A? Gentle and homely type?
Hearing that, Anna looked puzzled. "Why this one? I think when he come home, a gentle woman would keep asking him and caring about him, whcih he might not like. Because the question is about having to get married."
Lola nodded. "Ms. Stefanelli, you did read the question carefully and analyzed it well, but you missed one point. D, the all-around working type. Since Mr. Vittorio has to get married, he definitely doesn't want to see this woman. Seeing her at home at night and possibly meeting her often at work would be truly annoying. That's how he felt about Katherine before."
Lla continued, But if it's the homely type, he spends at least three months a year on business trips, doesn't have to see her, and works ten hours a day without facing her. If he doesn't want to face her, he can even use overtime as an excuse not to go home."
Anna finally understood. She hadn't thought of that!
Anna's eyes widened in shock again.
After the surprise, her heart sank. She already felt defeated on this issue, and Lola's natural, easy analysis of Giorgio's psychology made it worse. It showed how deeply she understood Giorgio.
Giorgio noticed the disappointment in Anna's eyes and slightly curled his lips, saying to Lola, "Aren't you disqualified from answering the questions? Why are you still doing this?"
Lola shrugged. "Indeed, because everyone outside suspected I would cheat, I voluntarily gave up the qualification. But I was curious about the questions, so I registered with my mother's account to answer. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Only the three of us know."
Giorgio responded indifferently, rubbing Anna's small hand, saying, "You don't need to answer the questions. I never took that software test seriously."
"Why?" Anna asked curiously. Wasn't it publicly announced nationwide?
Giorgio pinched her cheek and asked with a raised voice, "Do you think I would really marry a woman who answered the questions correctly? That was just to fool my grandma. Even if someone appears, they will be sent away. Don't worry, I won't let you be the third wheel again."
So that was his plan.
His explanation was heartwarming, but in the end, not being able to stand by his side openly still made her feel uncomfortable and bitter.
"Sir, Miss, your dishes are ready."
At this moment, the waiter served the dishes.
Anna noticed that their dishes were almost the same, while she only had a bowl of soup.
Her heart sank even more, and she lowered her head to drink the soup.
The next second, Giorgio uttered, "Miss Quinn, knowing that you don't need gifts, I didn't prepare one. I have adjusted the profit margin of our project down by ten points from the original basis. The new contract will be sent to your email by my secretary later tonight."
With that, he elegantly raised his wine glass. "Happy birthday."
Lola sighed. "Money again. Mr. Vittorio, you are more generous every year. It's great to be your partner. But I've had enought money these years. I hope next year, Mr. Vittorio will give me something special."
Giorgio laughed. "Sure."
The two clinked glasses.
Anna sat aside, the soup in her mouth becoming tasteless.
In her eyes, their relationship was really better than she had imagined.
Lola's words just now implied that she hoped their relationship would change next year. Did Giorgio catch that or not? He agreed so casually.
But that was not the point.
The point was, she really didn't understand why he brought her here to watch him and Lola clink glasses and chat.
The meal ended at eight in the evening. Anna didn't even know how she managed to endure until the end.
In the car, since Tony knew Giorgio had drunk, he came to drive, and Anna and Giorgio sat in the back seat.The partition was closed, making the space somewhat confined.
Giorgio held Anna's hand, her soft hand completely wrapped in his. He asked gently, "Shall we go to the hospital to see Penny first?"
Anna nodded. "Yes, Penny can wake up and talk now, she needs company. I'll stay with Penny at the hospital tonight. Giorgio, you should go home and rest early." She said a lot but her voice was very faint and cold.
Giorgio, being quite perceptive, naturally noticed the change in Anna's tone. He turned his head, his deep eyes looking at her, whispering, "Are you angry? I mentioned the type of girl I like to Lola before, and she didn't quite believe it. Her birthday request was to bring you to see. I thought you two would meet often in the future, so I brought you along. Besides, as someone with a girlfriend now, I think it's inappropriate to attend another woman's birthday party alone."
Hearing that, Anna pursed her lips.
Meeting often in the future? Did that mean he would see Lola often?
He said that attending alone was inappropriate, but he used to attend alone before.
Anna didn't know what was wrong with her. Thinking about how well Giorgio and Lola got along, it felt like a different kind of affection for her, and Lola completely understood him, which made her very frustrated.
"It's okay, I'm not angry. I just came to get some free food. And it's okay if you meet her alone in the future, you guys are working, not dating. I understand that," she said it very cheerfully and openly, not angry at all.
But the more she acted like this, the more Giorgio felt something was wrong.
He raised his hand, turned her face, and examined it closely, saying, "Really?"
Anna didn't want to argue with him as it would make her seem petty.
She took a deep breath, saying, "Yes. I just have a stomachache. Stop at a pharmacy later, I'll buy some digestive enzymes." As she spoke, she covered her stomach.
Giorgio saw no other expression on her face and believed her.
After all, he brought her to meet a friend, and Enrico said women like to be acknowledged. He had explained the reason, and she seemed to have no reason to be angry.
Besides, at the table, she and Lola chatted quite well。
Thinking this, Giorgio felt he was overthinking, released her, and instructed Tony, "To the hospital."
Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped in the hospital's underground garage.
Anna couldn't refuse anymore, and under Giorgio's lead, she went for a check-up and got the digestive enzymes.
After that, they returned to Penny's ward.
The ward was a VIP room specially arranged by Tom, with a washroom and a companion bed, luxurious, spacious, and clean.
"Be quiet. Penny hasn't woken up yet. Don't disturb her." Anna opened the door, quietly stepped out, and said to Giorgio, "You should go back now. Come early tomorrow, maybe you'll catch Penny awake."
However, Giorgio's deep eyes swept over her face and said, "Why do you always want to send me away? Tony has already gone back. I'll stay here with you tonight."
Stay here!!!
This was a ward! Anna worried the doctors or nurses would find them.
Besides, she didn't want to spend time with him tonight.
Anna was about to refuse when her lips were suddenly kissed.
