Chapter - 149 - Who is Gianna Williams?

Gianna went back to her room and slumped down on her chair. Lost in thought, she swiveled around in her rolling chair. She slowly stopped turning and looked at the snow. 'Christmas is almost here. How fast is time moving? Coming to Halston city seems like yesterday to me.' Her mind was suddenly jogged by the memory of Roberto's dejected tone a few days prior.

"How can I forget about it?!! How irresponsible of me!" muttered Gianna and called him through the new spy app.

"G! What a surprise! Did you dial the wrong number?" asked Roberto mockingly. Gianna knew he was kidding but felt sad as she realized she rarely called him. She couldn't help but sigh deeply, thinking of how irresponsible she was! She considered Roberto as her brother and failed in her responsibility.

On the other hand, Roberto was genuinely taken aback when she called him. He was like a child who received a call from his parents after waiting for a long time. "G? Are you there?" Gianna cut off her thoughts as she heard Robbie calling her name.

"How are you? Did you have your lunch?" Roberto smiled brightly and said, "I am fine. Even though they give me a lot of work, I enjoy doing it. I just had my lunch. What about you?" "I had. Did someone bully you recently?" asked Gianna. Roberto was confused hearing her question and asked, "No. Why? Who would bully me? I am not only good with keys but also with my hands. You know that G!" Gianna hummed and knew he was right, but she couldn't guess why he was sad that day on the phone.

"Then why did you sound down when you called me last week?" Roberto pursed his lips tightly and didn't want to talk about it. He knew Gianna would directly show up in front of him if he didn't spit it out. Roberto cleared his throat and walked outside his workspace. "Joining was overwhelming, so I called you, G. But it's all good now. Nothing to worry about." Gianna smirked and said, "How can you lie through your teeth? Is that what you have been learning all these years?"

Roberto was caught red-handed. He is very good at lying on the spot. Everyone would believe him except Gianna. Gianna was a real-life lie detector. Roberto always wondered if there was any mechanism inside her head where it turns red when someone lies to her.

He chuckled awkwardly and said, taking a deep breath, "Okay, I give up! The company asked me to fill up the insurance application. I put your name as my nominee, but they said only parents can be my nominee. To choose a sibling, I have to submit a family registration copy. I didn't know what to do, so I voluntarily gave up the insurance. I felt uneasy about the way the manager looked at me, so I called you to hear your voice."

Gianna was unable to get a word out. She felt terrible and could feel how terrible he would have felt at that moment. She failed as a sister. She was ashamed of herself. "I'm sorry, Robbie. I didn't know what you had gone through. You should understand that even if we don't have a family register, you have two elder brothers and two elder sisters. Do you get it? Family is not something shown in the papers. We are always with you, and you will always be our little brother. Don't take those things to your heart and prove who you are."

Roberto was delighted as he heard her words and said, "I love you, G!" Gianna chuckled and said, "I love you, Robbie." "I have to get back to work, G. Take care of your health." Gianna hummed and hung up the call after saying bye. "He would have been heartbroken!" mumbled Gianna and dialed a number.

"Why do I keep getting calls from you these days, Elda? Should I thank Roberto?" asked Travis, gleefully. "Change the present insurance company we have for the employees. Set a partnership with an insurance company that allows anyone for the nominee category without submitting the family register copy," instructed Gianna. Travis was taken aback and asked, "Did something happen?" "Just do as I say, Mr. Newman." Gianna hung up the call before Travis could respond.

Her sudden instruction left Travis speechless. Elda usually calls him Travis, Mr. Travis, or President but mentions Mr. Newman only when she gets angry. He understood the weightage of the issue and immediately instructed his assistant to take care of the matter.

After some time, his assistant entered his office and reported, after placing two papers on his table, "I have arranged for the matter and also looked into Roberto. He is the only one who has voluntarily given up the insurance, Mr. President."

Travis nodded and waved his hand, signaling him to leave the office. He went through the cancelled insurance application and a typed letter mentioning the voluntary cancellation of the insurance. "Who is Gianna Williams? Although Roberto and Gianna do not share the same surname, he referred to her as his sister. Is Gianna a friend of Elda?" mumbled Travis.

This matter piqued his curiosity and immediately typed a few codes on his laptop to find details about Gianna. After a few seconds, the details of Gianna Williams with a photo appeared on the screen. Travis couldn't believe it and rubbed his eyes a few times to verify the information on the screen.

As he was transfixed on the screen, his phone interrupted with a buzz. He slowly took out his phone and tapped on the message.

"You have so much time for unwanted things. Do you lack work in the company? Should I assign you some work?"

Travis nearly dropped his phone and sat stiffly as his mind went blank looking at the message from Elda.

"So, Elda is Dr. Gianna?" mumbled Travis looking at the screen in disbelief.
