Chapter 537 Compromise, Letting Go
With that, Mia was really about to kneel down.
"Mrs. Quinn, don't do this." Anna quickly pulled her up, her face extremely somber.
She knew Lola had different feelings for Giorgio, but she didn't expect them to be this deep.
She even aligned all her life and work towards Giorgio. In Anna's eyes, it was a love that words couldn't describe.
When this deep love turned into silent devotion, it became even more frustrating.
Lola's deep love for Giorgio even made Anna feel humble.
She thought the one beside Giorgio should be Lola.
Anna pressed her lips tightly, her voice low. "Fine. I'll do that."
"Thank you, Ms. Stefanelli, you are a good person. Thank you for being so fair." Mia was grateful to the point of tears.
She then sent the recorded video to Anna and said, "Ms. Stefanelli, look, just post this online, and give our Lola some justice."
Her friendly voice was an anxious reminder, as she was afraid that Anna might change her mind and not help.
But Anna had already made up her mind. She and Giorgio had broken up. Viviana had also pressured her. Now Lola rightfully had the spot.
She no longer had the right to occupy a position that didn't belong to her.
Thinking this, Anna took out her phone, saw three missed calls from Giorgio, and frowned slightly.
Why was he calling?
Worried that Mia might see, she quickly swiped past and opened Instagram to post the content:
[The real 100 points belong to Lola, Ms. Quinn. She didn't participate under her own name due to your protests, but the results are fair and just. I believe her being a software developer and participant is not a conflict. As netizens, you have no right to strip her of her qualifications. Additionally, I accept the result and withdraw from this test.]
After posting, Anna showed the page to Mia: "Mrs. Quinn, it's done."
"Great, thank you again. Ms. Stefanelli, if you ever need anything, just come to me, I'll definitely help." Mia said gratefully and excitedly, then turned and left.
Anna watched her figure disappear, her expression gradually sinking, filled with sorrow.
Just as she turned, the sound of brakes rang out, and a luxurious Maybach stopped by the roadside.
"Anna." Immediately, Giorgio's clear and deep voice sounded.
Anna turned her head and saw Giorgio, dressed in a suit, getting out of the car and walking towards her, still so handsome and perfect. At first sight, it made her heart flutter.
It had only been a few days since she met him, yet it felt like a lifetime.
Anna stood there in a daze, unable to snap out of it.
Giorgio walked straight to her, looking at her delicate face, and asked, "Why didn't you answer the phone? Let's talk." His tone wasn't very gentle, but it wasn't cold either, even somewhat negotiating.
Anna frowned slightly and instinctively blurted out, "What is there to talk about? It's all over."
"I didn't say it's over, so it can still start." Giorgio pulled her wrist, directly taking her into the car, then drove to a restaurant.
The restaurant was the one Anna saw that night!
Did he really like such high-end places? Or did he subconsciously like being with Lola?
"Sorry, Mr. Vittorio, I don't have time to have dinner with you now, and I don't like eating this." Anna stood up to leave.
Giorgio pulled her down, keeping her by his side, saying, "No matter how busy, it doesn't matter for these two minutes. Tell me, that night, did you come to the company to find me? And the mean was for me, right?"
Anna was stunned, how did he know?
The key was that it was embarrassing for him to know in this situation, she pressed her lip, denying, "No, I did come to find Mr. Giuseppe Vittorio, and the food was made for him."
"Really?" Giorgio's tone rose, and the next second, he took out his phone, showing the surveillance of her appearing at the Vittorio Group building.
Her gaze followed the car that appeared, then she stood downstairs for more than ten minutes, and then left in a daze.
"How do you explain this?"
She didn't expect him to check the surveillance. And what happened that night was already hurtful, now being shown again in front of her, it felt like a slap in the face, crushing her self-esteem.
Her eyes reddened, and she suddenly looked straight at him, retorting, "So what if it is?
Indeed, I was foolish. Clearly, you didn't answer my calls because of another woman, didn't honor our agreement, and left the next day without a word, never contacting me. And I, like an idiot, heard from Tony that you had a bad stomach, so I ignored the awkwardness and made food for you, bringing it over."
"In the end, you didn't need any concern, as you had a close female friend to dine with you. It was my wishful thinking, interfering too much. Don't worry, I won't do it again."
Anna continued, "Also, Mr. Vittorio, what do you want now? We've already broken up, and you still come to confront me, to tell me how pathetic I am, that I was dumped by you?"
The next second, her lips were suddenly kissed hard by Giorgio.
It was dominant, strong, and deep, sealing all her agitated emotions.
He didn't expect that his being busy and late mattered so much to her.
This meant she indeed cared about him.
His deep, hoarse voice said, "It's not too much interference. I like it."
Anna was once again stunned.
He liked it?
In her extreme shock and confusion, Giorgio released her lips, his strong arm encircling her slender waist, looking down at her, saying, "Do you know what Lola and I talked about that night?"
A man and a woman, having a late-night snack, what could they talk about?
Anna thought Giorgio was really terrible, enjoying her humble efforts while proudly sharing his affairs with another woman.
She angrily said, "Mr. Vittorio, you don't need to tell me about your affairs with your close female friend. I already saw how well you got along on her birthday. I'm not curious at all now, and I don't want to hear it."
Giorgio raised an eyebrow, his long eyes narrowing. "That night. So you've been angry since then?"
She wasn't angry!
Why did he always deviate from the topic!
"Mr. Vittorio, what exactly do you want to say?" Anna was like a cat with its fur standing on end as she really didn't want to continue entangling with him in this way, as long as she stayed by his side, she felt suffocated.
Giorgio directly explained, "That night, Lola came to talk to me about what my grandma instructed her to do, and also showed me your test results. I knew you scored 99, and I asked her to adjust the system to not allow anyone to score 100. Having a late-night snack was just to thank her."
With his words, the air fell silent.
Anna felt like she was struck by lightning, stunned in his arms.
Giorgio and Lola were actually talking about her? And he was indirectly bribing Lola?
He meant to set the spot on her.
