Chapter 65 Are You So Eager?
Angry and not wanting to see Giorgio, Anna called Charlie and found out that he had gone out with Tom again today, so she didn't go to the villa directly. Instead, she went to Sara's store to help out after having coffee with Simon.
Unaware of it, every move Anna and Simon made was secretly captured by someone's camera!
That night, the hashtag #SimonLoveStory circulated on the internet.
In the photos, they were walking side by side, smiling happily, and even enjoying ice cream.
In the store, Simon gently wiped the cream off Anna's mouth, tender and romantic. Even though he only saw Anna's profile, they looked like a loving couple.
Netizens exploded with comments:
"Oh my god, my husband, I haven't seen him a few times and now he has a girlfriend!"
"Mr. Dalio either doesn't appear at all or when he does, he brings a girlfriend. I feel so sad!"
"I must have read it wrong. This is fake news."
Anna had no idea that she was in the news. After bathing Penny in the evening and putting her to sleep, Sara suddenly opened the door.
"Anna, what's this about you dating Mr. Dalio? That was fast!"
Anna looked confused, "Dating? What are you talking about?"
Sara noticed the sleeping Penny and pulled Anna out of the room, closing the door behind them. She handed Anna her phone.
"Look, this is how the news reported it."
Anna took the phone and looked down at the content, her whole body froze.
"Are news outlets so irresponsible and unreliable nowadays? I want to sue them."
Sara remained silent. So, it's fake? It was all for nothing, not interesting at all.
"But I feel like Mr. Dalio really likes you. Look at these pictures, his gaze towards you is so gentle and loving."
"No, he's always gentle. He looks at puppies the same way."
Is that so? They are clearly different, right?
Sara couldn't help but feel that it wasn't that simple.
However, Anna didn't argue with her anymore. After all, Simon was such an outstanding person that it didn't even need to be considered. He wouldn't like her.
Worried about the impact of such news on him or the Dalios, she went back to her room, took out her phone, and called him from the balcony.
"Mr. Dalio, have you seen the news? I'm sorry, I didn't expect our daily interactions to cause trouble for you. You can handle the news however you want, and if you need me to cooperate, I will."
Simon listened in silence. When Anna thought he hadn't heard, his magnetic voice sounded.
"Anna, I think, maybe we can have a try."
Have a try?
Anna was shocked, thinking she had misheard.
He actually suggested trying to date?
Simon didn't hear her response and felt a pang of nervousness. He explained, "Anna, I know this sudden suggestion may seem impulsive, but we're both single, and I happen to want a girlfriend. I admire both your character and personality, so maybe we can give it a try. Unless you think there's something wrong with me, or I don't meet your standards for a boyfriend."
"It's not that!" There was nothing wrong with him; it was just that this proposal was so unexpected!
"If that's not the case, then let's go with it."
Anna vigorously shook her head in shock, "No! Mr. Dalio, that's not what I meant..."
She wanted to explain, but Simon interrupted, "Anna, I still need to deal with the news here. See you tomorrow."
Then, without giving her a chance to refuse, he hung up the phone.
Anna sat still for a few minutes, clutching her heart.
Did she suddenly get a boyfriend?
Sara, seeing her strange expression, curiously approached and asked, "What's wrong? What did Mr. Dalio say on the phone?"
Anna shook her head, maybe Simon was just confused? Maybe he'll wake up with a clear mind in the morning.
"It's nothing. Get some rest, it's good for your skin."
"Oh, okay."
Simon, who hung up the phone, looked at his serious and curious parents sitting on the couch and said,
"Dad, Mom, what you heard was fake news, but I already agreed with Anna to give dating a try."
Mrs. Dalio heard the conversation and excitedly walked over, holding his hand with tears in her eyes, "You're thirty years old and finally willing to have a girlfriend! God knows I thought you and Giovanni..."
She couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence.
Simon furrowed his brow, "What?"
"Just...oh God! It's great to have a girlfriend now. Butler, send a message immediately to confirm the news. Simon, what does this girl do? What's her family background like?"
As an affluent woman, Mrs. Dalio has always attached great importance to these matters.
Simon's gaze deepened, "Mom, my career doesn't need to rely on a woman. Why do you care about this?"
"But what if she likes you for your money? No, you bring her to meet me tomorrow, I'll evaluate her for you."
"Enough already, Simon finally agreed to date, why do you care so much? If you scare that girl away later, it'll be too late for regrets," Richard Dalio spoke up.
Mrs. Dalio immediately calmed down, "You're right. Simon, just spend some time getting to know her well. If she likes you for your money, the Dalio family has plenty of money. As long as she treats you well and likes you, and you like her too, that's enough. Tomorrow, buy her some flowers and gifts. Girls love surprises."
Simon smiled, "Okay."
Throughout that whole evening until the next morning, the news continued to spread. As a major enterprise, the Dalios did not deny the news, making it seem even more true.
Many reporters and news media dug into the identity of the 'lead actress', and some even called Giorgio's secretary for confirmation.
"Is Mr. Vittorio available? Mr. Vittorio has been working with Mr. Dalio recently, does he know who Mr. Dalio's girlfriend is?"
"Would you be willing to reveal a little bit?"
"Mr. Vittorio, the public is really interested in this matter, can you give a response?"
Early in the morning, Little Tony received several phone calls, asking how to handle the situation.
"What's going on?" Giorgio asked coldly as he came downstairs.
Little Tony immediately hid his phone behind his back, "It's nothing, nothing."
"Advertisement promotion"…"
"Little Tony, do you know what facial expression people have when they lie?" Giorgio asked, taking a mirror and placing it in front of him.
In the mirror, Little Tony's eyes wandered, avoiding, guilty.
"It's that expression of yours."
Little Tony's legs went weak. "Mr. Vittorio, I've made a mistake. I didn't do anything wrong, and I didn't intentionally lie. It's... it's Miss Stefanelli's thing."
Miss Stefanelli? Anna?
"What's going on with her?"
"You better see for yourself..." he dared not say.
Little Tony respectfully handed over his phone.
On the large screen was Simon's love news. As an outsider, one couldn't recognize who the girl was, but Giorgio immediately recognized her as Anna!
He clenched his hand holding the phone, his knuckles turning white, and his eyes cold as if trying to bore a hole through the screen.
Little Tony trembled. He knew that Mr. Vittorio would care…
Just at this cold and oppressive moment, Anna came with breakfast,
Her face filled with a radiant smile, like the rising sun, full of vitality and hope. However, when she saw Giorgio, she remembered what he had punished her for yesterday, and without acknowledging him, she went straight upstairs.
Scoundrel!
Giorgio watched her.
Ever since Simon came into the picture, she didn't even bother to greet him.
A nameless anger uncontrollably surged up in him again. He coldly curled his lips, "Things are moving so fast with Simon? You seem quite eager."
Was he referring to her?
Anna stopped in her tracks, turned around to look at him, and instinctively explained, "No way! That news is fake!"
Fake?
Giorgio sneered, raising the phone in his hand. "Is this photo also fake?"
His deep and sneering voice was filled with irony and derision.
Anna hesitated in her words. The photos were real, but they were completely intentional snapshots, not much different from being fake!
Just as she was about to explain…
"Giorgio, Anna, good morning," a warm and pleasant voice sounded.
The few of them turned to the source of the voice and saw Simon, dressed in a suit, holding a beautifully packaged bouquet of roses, coming in!
Roses, representing love!
Giorgio's eyes darkened, sweeping a glance at Anna, as if mocking the lies she had just told.
Anna, completely unaware of what was going on, looked puzzled and looked at Simon, "Mr. Dalio... why are you here?"
Simon walked gracefully toward her, "What happened last night was abrupt. I came specially today to clarify. These flowers are a gift and a symbol of my sincerity. No pressure needed."
What happened last night?
What happened between them last night?
Naturally, images of them having sex flashed through Giorgio's mind, and his already cold face sank once again, colder than the December weather!
He strode upstairs without even giving Anna a glance, treating her as if she were
As he walked past her, the chilling aura seemed as though it could freeze her to death.
This person must have been born in an ice cave, right?
Anna quickly raised her hand and grabbed Giorgio's arm, saying, "Mr. Vittorio, wait."
