The night wind was blowing. It blew the broken hair in front of Anna's forehead. The eyes underneath were still fixed, there was no superfluous expression on the small white face.
-I finished what I had to say. If President Matteo has nothing else, please leave.
The tall figure remained in place, with no reaction, just a pair of dark eyes staring at her.
He had no intention of leaving. Anna waited a moment, but still she would not leave. She simply turned and walked back toward the kitchen without looking at him.
As she entered, Amelia watched them not far away, watching with satisfaction as her daughter spoke to the young man standing in the doorway.
Although the distance was not very close, Amelia clearly saw the man's appearance. He was like a merman of the little fish, standing out in the crowd. He had been in a calm mood from the beginning until that moment. He was not excited. No wonder he had let his daughter grieve for him.
Seeing the girl return, Amelia tried to stop her, but could not, so she had to follow Anna into the kitchen.
-How did the talk go? Did you clarify as I told you?
-Yes.
Anna replied grimly. At first she was full of enthusiasm, but after seeing Matthew, her whole body was like a puppet that had lost the thread, lying there weak, very pessimistic.
-If you did it, what is the result, why do you look so weak, is it because you two did not come to an agreement?
-Mom, don't laugh at me,‖ Anna turned her head and lay down on the table.
Amelia immediately turned away.
-I care about my daughter's emotional life, how can I laugh at you? I don't care about other people's things. I watched him from a distance and I think he is a talented man. He waited a whole day for you. You didn't worry about his bad mood.
-I didn't. He only waited for me for other things. I have already made it clear to him that we will have no more contact in the future.
As for the last sentence, Anna seemed to have lost all her strength and hid her face in the palm of her hand.
Amelia was silent.
Her daughter had responded like this. She did not know what to say.
In this way, until the restaurant closed for the night, there was still that figure in front of the door. Several employees had finished their work, leaving one after another. As they were leaving, they had gathered and had a discussion under their breath.
-Look, he is so handsome. He looks more handsome than the man who came for the boss last time. Has he been waiting for her all day? Why does she ignore him?
-I don't know. Maybe our boss doesn't like him? Is that why she doesn't listen to him?
-She has good taste in men. She still doesn't like him ,this is excellent.
-Our boss is a capable woman, but invisible. She has a lamia restaurant, and is even wanted by the man who drives a luxury car. Does she have another hand in flirting with men?
-Don't talk nonsense. The lady's mother told us about Mr. Farina last time, that they rented the restaurant to our boss. Besides, he has a wife and loves her very much.
-Wow. Men don't fall in love much. They only talk with their mouths, who knows if they will become a couple in the future?
-There has never been a rush to speak ill of the dead, so don't talk nonsense and let's go quickly.
They got together and left.
When Amelia packed her bags and was about to leave, she did not expect Matthew to still be there, so she could not help but walk up to him and say something.
-Sir, just leave, okay? He waited a day and didn't eat anything.
Seeing his age, Matteo's eyes crinkled, -Ma'am. It's a pleasure.
-It's a pleasure. I'm Anna's mother," Amelia introduced herself and then said, "Don't wait any longer. Go home soon. Don't upset your stomach.
The corners of Matthew's lips crinkled, revealing a shallow smile.
-Thank you for your concern. I will wait a little longer.
Amelia felt she could not convince him, and the other side was very polite, maintaining a sense of distance. What surprised her was that he did not beg her, Anna's mother, to speak for him. This made Amelia admire him even more.
Then Amelia returned to the kitchen and pulled Anna's collar.
