-Since when did you become so nosy and gossipy?
Marcello also realized that his words were indeed a bit exaggerated, and he waved his hand slightly.
-Ok, I'm just worried about my best friend, since you're so resistant, let it go.
Then Marcello left alone, and Matteo stayed in the same place for a long time before taking his steps and leaving.
After leaving the police station, Anna walked alone down the street. She had come in a police car, and the food delivery van was still at the clubhouse, so she had to go and retrieve what she had just told Amelia on the phone.
Why not take a cab to the clubhouse and take the car home, get two sets of clothes, and go back to her apartment for a few days?
In her current state, she was sure her parents would be suspicious of her if she went back, and if she told them then, on second thought, Anna didn't want them to worry anyway.
As she walked, Anna's leg was a little sore, which she had only noticed after she escaped from the police station earlier, when she had allegedly hit a nearby table while being forcibly dragged.
Anna was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes, and the pain was vaguely unbearable as she walked.
She slowed down and pulled out her cell phone to call a cab when the sound of a horn came from behind her and Anna unconsciously ducked to the side, stumbling a bit in her stride and nearly falling.
She calmed down, but accidentally dropped her phone.
Anna rushed to fight the pain and crouched down, embarrassed to see the shattered phone screen.
-Can't one walk a little slower when injured?
A familiar pair of shoes appeared before her, and Anna at first winced, then reacted immediately to see that they were Matteo's, whom she had just seen at the police station.
Anna looked up, the tall figure standing in front of her against the light, his silhouette deepening in the shadows, but unfortunately Anna could not see his eyes and did not know what kind of look he was giving her now, but she could imagine it without seeing him.
He had probably taken pity on her.
She crouched motionless, lowering her head to look at the cracked screen of her phone, ready to take a hand to clean it.
Someone else was quicker than her, however, and Matthew had his hand on the screen before she could touch it.
-The screen is cracked and it is easy to scratch your hand if you rub it directly.
With these words, he brought the phone closer to her and took a clean handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the phone clean.
Since it was not far away, Anna could still faintly smell the smell of grass and wood on the handkerchief, and the texture and marks on the handkerchief could only be from a known brand.
At the thought of the noodle store really getting its money from him, Anna's heart grew angry and irritated, and she could not help but scoff,
-The handkerchief is expensive, isn't it? How much take-out food should I deliver to let me give it back to you after you clean my phone?
She said these things deliberately to provoke him.
Matthew's hand movements also stopped at her words, but he quickly put the clean phone away in his suit pocket.
This action left Anna unsure.
-What are you doing? Give it to me.
