"This?"
Amelia had probably never seen such a large diamond ring before, so she grabbed her hand in confusion, "Anna?"
Anna's expression was a little shy as she explained in a whisper, "Don't ask, Mom."
"Did Matteo give it to you?"
Anna nodded.
"Is this a marriage proposal?"
Anna nodded again.
Amelia's breath caught in her throat, "And my little girl said yes?"
Anna's face reddened to the base of her neck, like a ripe apple, her eyes drifting left and right, "I ... haven't said yes yet, I need to think about it."
"Think about it?" Amelia raised an eyebrow at his words and teased her, "Since when did my daughter learn to be reserved? Why didn't you think about it when you were chasing him? Now that he's proposed to you, are you still thinking about it?"
Anna grunted and wrinkled her lips, which let him propose like that without warning and without anything. Even if she did not care about the ceremony, he could not be so hasty as to put a diamond ring on her finger without saying a word, she would not simply say yes.
"Of course you have to think about it, you will think about everything, wouldn't it be more convenient to simply say yes to him without even thinking about it?"
After this incident on the train, Anna knew that Matthew was much more tolerant of himself than she had thought, and she wanted to try being flippant and then being cuddled in the palm of her hand.
The very thought was enough to make her jump.
"Silly girl, have it your way, mom and dad are happy to see you the way you are now anyway."
Anna smiled and went to hug Amelia's shoulders, "Thank you daddy and mommy, for understanding, Anna will always love you."
"Tired or not you!" Amelia patted her hand, her mouth was full of disgust, but her eyes were full of warm, bright smiles.
It had been almost a week since Matthew had returned to the office.
Because he had been putting off a lot of work, he had not had time to come back, and it had been two days since he had sorted out the important things that had accumulated earlier.
He was very tired, but Matteo had no successor, and the Giordano Family had no relatives they could trust, so he had to take care of the company's affairs himself.
But after what happened to Anna, he said something in anger.
But these words must have been hidden in his heart for a long time, which is why he said them so angrily, and he had to take them seriously.
So Matteo told Chiara that she should call him only for the extra important work and to leave the rest to his staff.
Chiara was a little stunned to hear this, "Is Signore Giordano comfortable leaving everything to others? The old board is ......"
"Keep an eye on it, and as long as it's not too big, turn a blind eye."
The company was so big that it was inevitable that someone would do something, but everyone in the workplace was used to this kind of thing, and Matteo didn't take it seriously until he made a big mess of the company, treated his co-workers badly or took money without doing anything.
In short, you got paid what you wanted and did what you wanted.
Chiara saw how determined he was and realized there was no hope for her to say anything else, so she nodded, "OK, I'll keep an eye on him then. I'll keep an eye on things, but this will increase my workload, Sir Giordano, and I have a lot of children at home, so will I get a raise?"
"Yes."
Chiara was never polite, even when she liked Matteo, and if she felt like she was working hard or tired, she would ask Matteo for a raise.
