Chapter 52 (1/2)
Anna was talking to miss Alina when she got the telegram.
Although many previous public opinions preferred Miss Eliza, after getting along with each other carefully, Anna found that Miss Alina was a very interesting person.
Her interest is not how much she knows about the current popular rumors, but her ideas.
To be sure, as a social flower, Miss Alina has never been ashamed of it. Of course, she has not beautified this career.
Perhaps, the best way to describe her is to be calm.
”At least I'm alive, I've eaten good food, and I'm wearing beautiful and expensive clothes. What I do now can support me and my sister. ”
they then talked about some new clothes, and Anna was going to invite Miss Alina to come in after the shop had been redecorated, and the conversation was interrupted by the telegram.
”Look at the telegram first, ma'am. ”Said Miss Alina, taking a sip of her black tea.
Anna takes the telegram from anusika's hand. She looks at it and smiles.
”It looks like something good has happened. ”Alina put down her tea cup, sipped her hair and said with a smile.
”Indeed. My sister-in-law, tori, is pregnant. ”
” Congratulations, madam. But, ”Alina blinked,” which may not be good news for Mr. Karenin. ”Then she smiles and sips her hair.
”I heard from the Duke that their department has been very busy recently. A gentleman is trying his best to make a little noise. ” Miss Alina threw a message lightly.
Anna looked up at each other and nodded gently.
”But I don't believe he will succeed.”
”Indeed.” Alina touched the diamond earrings on the edge of her earlobe, and then changed the topic lightly.
When Karenin came back, Anna showed him the telegram.
”I think I have to go back.” Anna said that although she and oberonski are not real brothers and sisters. However, the latter has always been very good to her. Moreover, she should take some time to visit her sister-in-law who is pregnant.
She calculated, then she can be a little busy, and then go again, it is better to go now. Unfortunately, Karenin would not have a holiday to go with her.
”Alina came for tea this afternoon, and she said that your department will be very busy recently. She picked me up. Your competitors are giving you trouble. ”
Karenin put down the telegram, looked at Anna and said, ”she's right. She must have heard it from the Duke, who has recently enjoyed her company
”Alina is a good girl.”
Karenin sat in the chair in the study. After hearing Anna say this, he raised his eyebrow and looked at her, which made the latter nervous.
”Er...”
”No
Anna was relieved and said, ”I thought...” She didn't finish.
Karenin stretched out his hand and took Anna's hand and let her sit on the chair beside her. Now, the study has been completely arranged in this line.
Compared with Karenin's heavy desk, Anna's desk is more light and narrow, with more colors on it. Although it is very tidy, it still shows a lovely sense of disobedience. For example, her delicate decorations sometimes take a walk in Karenin's serious documents.
”No Karenin answered her previous question.
