Chapter 526 The Gift Mr. Vittorio Wants
Giorgio held her as they entered the ward and closed the door behind them.
The intense scent mixed with the aroma of red wine, spreading and evaporating in their mouths, growing stronger.
He let her go slightly, whispering, "If you dare to make me leave again, I'll deal with you right here."
Hearing that, Anna didn't dare speak further.
The next morning, she got up very early.
Today she and Lucia were going to shoot and the topic was life in the countryside. Sara joined them as well.
Anna followed her usual routine, trimming and watering the flowers, fruits, and vegetables in the yard. The harvested fruits were used to make breakfast.
Then, she went to the field to plant new vegetables, with a cat following her.
When she was a child, Anna always did these things with her grandmother. It was simple back then, with nothing to worry about.
Now, doing it again, the soil, seeds, and grass all carried the pure scent of nature, better than all the hustle and bustle of the city, which nurtured the heart and brought peace.
After planting, Anna prepared to fertilize.
Suddenly, she felt a pain in her ankle. Looking down, she saw a snake slithering by her foot.
Instantly, she was terrified, goosebumps rising, and she fell backward into the field.
"Anna!" Lucia and Sara quickly ran over and saw the snake too.
Lucia trembled with fear as she said, "Anna, you got bitten by a snake."
Sara, being brave, picked up a stick nearby, and drove the snake away, then said to Anna, "Go to the hospital immediately for antivenom."
Anna shook her head. "It's okay, that's not a venomous snake. I can handle it. Lucia, you guys continue filming."
Lucia hesitated, worriedly asking, "Are you sure?"
Anna said, "Don't worry, I was bitten by one as a child, and my grandmother taught me how to deal with it. We can use this as material for the shooting."
Hearing that, Lucia finally felt relieved. The rest of the shoot went smoothly.
Anna used the method her grandmother taught to detoxify, which impressed Lucia.
By evening, the wooden door was closed, and all the video shooting was completed.
The three girls sat exhausted around the table.
Lucia said, "Today was the most tiring day of shooting, but the theme is great. Anna, I can't wait to post the video."
Sara added, "I don't know if it will go viral, but I know I really envy this kind of life. Staying here, I don't want to go anywhere else."
Anna said, "You guys worked hard, carrying the camera around all day. I have a few more good theme ideas for the videos, like incorporating classic poetry."
"That's a great idea!" Lucia, who had lived in the city all her life, echoed excitedly, "I'm very interested in these things, and having classic themes is good for promotion. But won't it be too difficult?"
Anna shook her head. "No, I've been doing these things since I was a child." It was just a pity that Elodie wasn't here now.
But, for Elodie, she had to do well!
"Lucia, Sara, let's work hard together!" The rest echoed.
After chatting for a while, Sara keenly noticed something and stared at Anna, saying, "Anna, something's off with you today, really off."
Before Anna could figure out what she meant, Sara added, "You worked like crazy today, and you were very motivated and energetic. Did something happen to you?"
With Sara's words, Lucia also noticed as she said, "Yeah, Anna, you were never this enthusiastic about work before. What's going on today? Spill it."
Hearing that, Anna's face darkened.
Given their friendships, Anna thought there was nothing to hide from them.
She confessed, "It's nothing. I just want to expand my capabilities to compete with Katherine in the future. Also, I met Lola yesterday and felt that she is very capable. Compared to her, I'm far behind. I want to focus on my career and become a useful person too. So I didn't sleep well last night, thinking about how to make the videos better and more promotable."
"Are you jealous? Feel like you don't deserve Mr. Vittorio?" Sara knew Anna well.
Anna's lips pressed together slightly. Silence was the answer.
Lucia comforted, "It's normal when you date someone excellent. But don't overthink it. There are many capable women like Lola around Mr. Vittorio. But to Mr. Vittorio, they are just work partners, completely different from your role. There's only one of you."
"Right. You have to have confidence!" Sara hugged Anna's shoulder.
Anna looked at the two of them, feeling a deep warmth in her heart.
At night, after chatting with Penny, Anna lay in bed and mustered the courage to open the test again.
Unexpectedly, the page refreshed, and a text announcement popped up.
[Due to some users using multiple phones and the process of elimination to answer questions, all test questions have been updated. Correct answers will not be shown, and you will answer directly, with the final match result given. Additionally, the entire process will be recorded with facial recognition, and you cannot pause. Do you want to start the test?]
So there's only one chance? So complicated and serious?
Anna thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and started the test.
The next second, the questions were refreshed.
[Question: If Mr. Vittorio has an argument with his girlfriend, how would he handle it?]
[A: Apologize and patiently explain.]
[B: Buy gifts to coax her.]
[C: Reason with her and discuss amicably.
[D: Give her the silent treatment and wait for her to calm down.]
[E: Be too busy with work to deal with it.]
[F: None of the above.]
Anna quickly thought. This question should be easy as she had argued with Giorgio many times.
Just recently, he reasoned with her outside the hospital.
Yes! Choose to reason and discuss amicably.
Then came the second question.
[Question: If you were Mr. Vittorio's girlfriend, how would you celebrate his birthday? And which of the following gifts do you think Mr. Vittorio would like?]
[A: A carefully prepared family dinner.]
[B: A relaxing short trip for just the two of you.]
[C: A handmade surprise gift.]
[D: Offer yourself.]
[E: Mr. Vittorio doesn't celebrate birthdays, don't disturb him.]
[F: None of the above.]It was another question she had experienced.
Anna instantly thought of the gift she had prepared back then, which Giorgio really liked, even asking for it again the next day.
Thinking of that, Anna's cheeks flushed as she chose D.
Three hours later, all done!
After a moment of processing, the system displayed:
[Congratulations, your compatibility with Mr. Vittorio is a large, green number.]
