Luca did not expect her to react badly to his questions. Nor did he understand why Anna had said that. "Does she no longer trust me? Is she suspicious of everything I say?
In an attempt to lighten the mood and reassure Anna, he smiled at her. However, it went badly, very badly, because the smile made the scar on her face even more obvious and horrible. This frightened Anna.
Anna told him in a trembling voice, "You... what do you want?
Noticing her fear, Luca was taken aback. Suddenly, something came to his mind: the scar on his face. After touching his scar, he changed that smile to its usual seriousness. Then he asked Anna, "Did my current face scare you?
Without any answer from her, he became a little sad because he was sorry that he scared her. He knew that the scar on her face was a little terrible, especially when she smiled. He had always been conscious of not letting others see the scar, but this time he had forgotten about it.
Seeing that he was a little depressed, Anna also caught the melancholy. Then she began to blame herself for what had happened.
She didn't want to hurt the man's feelings, so she tried to comfort him by saying, "No, you didn't scare me. It was all a misunderstanding.
After thinking for a while, Anna added, "Your questions alarmed me. Your reaction worried me because it would prevent me from going on my trip with Manuel. Please don't take it the wrong way.
Luca raised his head again, revealing his scar to Anna. Honestly, it was terrifying. "The previous wound must be very painful," she thought.
Luca replied, "Don't worry. Actually, I haven't heard from Cristian for a long time and I need to see him, so I came here to travel with you.
Anna breathed a sigh of relief, the alarms were finally cleared. She couldn't help but groan, "Phew, why didn't you tell me directly earlier? That strange atmosphere almost killed me. I thought it would prevent me from traveling.
Luca realized that it would be better if next time he spoke to her without reproach. At that moment, Anna picked up the ID card on the table and asked him, "Do you want me to help book a ticket for you?
-Exactly! A ticket for the same flight you are taking. Then I'll pay you double," Luca replied.
In this way, the two reached an agreement, and to facilitate future communication, they both saved contact information in their cell phones. When Anna received the card, she would send him a message with more details. As for the ID card, she would return it to him when they met at the airport.
Luca was satisfied and the two said goodbye.
As he left, Anna looked over his shoulder and wanted to apologize again for the misunderstanding earlier. Considering that this might remind her of her scar and that she would feel bad again, she gave up.
In the following days, Anna kept her promise to help Luke book the flight and send him all the information.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the overseas trip had arrived. Anna had chosen a flight that would leave in the early morning hours so that Matteo would not find out anything, nor would his plan fail.
She and Manuel took a cab to the airport after packing. The funny thing was that they both looked strange at the airport because they were overdressed: coats, hats, sunglasses and scarves? With all that, they got a rather suspicious look.
Anna asked Manuel to look for Luca in the waiting room, but was refused by the latter, with the excuse that he could not move with such a heavy load. Manuel complained a lot about this, saying, "You put too many clothes on me. I am so heavy that I almost fall over from exhaustion.
Anna rightly told him, "It's very cold abroad. If you don't cover yourself well, you will get sick!
