Chapter 437
That was true, but thinking about Lottieโs reputation, living under the same roof with such a person made her nervous. โWhen are you coming back, Stefi?โ All Ella wanted now was to be with Stefi; she didnโt care about anyone else. โIf I come back, will you come to the Giovanni residence with me?โ
โHuh? Donโt you have your own place here? We have to stay with the Giovanni family?โ Ella was on the brink of losing it.
โI do.โ
โCanโt we stay in the house outside? I really donโt want to face someone important like Lottie; itโs too stressful.โ
โAre you sure?โ
โWait, Iโm not sure. If thatโs the case, Sebastian might want to tear me apart, so letโs not.โ Thereโs Sebastian from Fiorenza, the pride of Lottie. She couldnโt forget him. She couldnโt mess with Lottie, and she definitely didnโt dare to mess with Sebastian, either.
At this moment, Ella finally realized that behind Stephanie, there were influential people. Stephanieโs mother and brother were big shots, and it meant Stephanie was practically a big shot too. So, Ella unknowingly became best friends with a big shot.
Stephanie laughed, โAlright, letโs talk when I get back.โ
โAww!โ Ella was completely dejected.
Stephanie said, โActually, Lorenzo is trustworthy. Since he said he would help you uncover the truth, we should believe him. Donโt worry; he wonโt make things difficult for you.โ Stephanie always trusted Giovanniโs words. Since Giovanni said Lorenzo wouldnโt harm Ella, then she was surely safe with him.
Hearing Stephanie say Lorenzo wouldnโt trouble her, Ella felt like crying even more. โHe bothered me.โ
โWhat?โ
โHe threatened me.โ
โNo way, Lorenzo isnโt like that. Donโt feel that way.โ
โAlright, if you say so,โ Ella answered in defeat.
Stephanie reassured Ella over the phone for a while until a knock on the door prompted Ella to hang up.
Lorenzo told Ella to change her clothes and put on some makeup. But when she opened the closet door, she found it was all menโs clothing. At the moment, she was wearing Lorenzoโs casual home outfit. Since it was quite long, the pullover looked like a dress on her.
When the door was knocked again, Ella went directly to open it. Lorenzo was standing outside the door. Noticing Ella was dressed the same, he frowned and asked, โWhat have you been doing all this time?โ
Ella replied in her heart, โCall Stefi for help.โ But remembering how timid Stephanie seemed when talking to Lorenzo on the phone, Ella felt even more hopeless. She kept silently complaining in her head but didnโt dare to tell the truth.
โI donโt have any clothes! Am I supposed to wear your suit?โ Ella said, looking upset. The pullover was long enough already; if it were a suit, she definitely wouldnโt fit in it.
Lorenzo was really tall, probably about 6โ3โ. When she stood in front of him, her face barely reached his chest, especially since he was broad-shouldered with strong muscles. Simply put, Lorenzo was about twice the size of Ella, and that was not even counting the height. So if she wore his suit, it would probably reach down to her knees.
Lorenzo squinted slightly. โWhere are your clothes?โ
โI left in a hurry and didnโt bring anything.โ In that urgent situation, Emily had dragged her away before she could pack. She looked pitifully at Lorenzo, a bit awkward as she continued, โThe outfit I was wearing, after you took it off me, where did you put it?โ
