He leaned on the back of the sofa and looked at Harley, who was a little lonely but full of hope: "What does Miss Harley mean? Do you want to hire me to work for you? If that is the case, please forgive me for not agreeing.
."
Butler Lu Silan put the tea on the coffee table, nodded to An Nuo, and then left.
Harley sat quietly in her seat, her posture was obedient, her expression was a little sad, and she looked at herself reflected in the tea.
Annuo picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and waited for Harry's next words.
Harry picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.
She looked at Anno: "Mr. Lawrence, you have a good reputation in Florence and you are willing to risk your own safety for your friends."
"I, need your help, I... can I trust you?" Harley's burgundy waterfall hair looked a little dry and no longer as shiny as before.
Annuo looked at Harley.
I couldn't help but think of the first time I saw this amazing soul by the river.
That advanced and novel idea brought him a lot of thinking.
He sighed, stood up, and shouted to the door: "Manlio, go upstairs first!"
"Okay, teacher." Manlio's voice came, and he always obeyed Annuo's words.
Annuo sat back on the sofa, put his arms on his knees, and looked into Harley's eyes: "This conversation only happens between you and me, Miss Harley, and no third person will know."
Harley smiled awkwardly: "Actually, it's not a very serious matter... But thank you anyway, Mr. Lawrence."
"No thanks." Annuo smiled and shook his head.
"I...actually ran away from home." Harry's dark color darkened, and he crossed his hands uneasily, "My parents...Baron Owes in Florence wanted to marry me off."
Annuo raised his eyebrows: "How old is Miss Harley this year?"
"I am eighteen years old." Harley replied.
"As far as I know, today's women are all married before the age of sixteen. Why did Miss Halle refuse the marriage and run out of the house?"
Harry sighed: "I am the daughter of a noble, and I can only marry a noble... This is the rule among nobles."
"When I get married, the meaning of my existence will only be to help my husband manage the property, give birth and raise children... That's not what I want." Hallie clenched her fists, "The life I want is to live a happy life every day.
I can go for a walk by the river without servants closely following me to monitor my social interactions, so I am free."
"So, I escaped."
Annuo's eyes were full of surprise and appreciation.
He couldn't help but admire: "You are a pursuing woman."
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Lawrence."
"When I ran away from home... I took very little money with me. I found a friend of mine. She was not a noble, but she owned a tailor shop."
"It's just that her tailor shop is not very popular. It's already the limit to support herself. Her husband is a soldier and can't see her all year round, so..."
"So you found me and wanted to hire me to design clothes for a clothing store to make more money, right?" Annuo smiled.
Harley looked nervous and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Lawrence, what's your answer?"
