Chapter 696 - Help (1/2)
Agata rushed to the Church as she needed to meet the pope within two days.
It took her a whole day to reach the Church, and she was exhausted beyond belief.
”Huft… Huft…” Agata panted a few times when she reached the Church before calling her best friend.
”Hello?”
”Enrica, I'm outside,” said Agata with a tired voice.
”Outside, eh? What?” Enrica was obviously not prepared for this kind of statement. The moment she checked, she truly saw Agata standing outside.
Without hesitation, she immediately came to her and asked, ”Why did you come here? I thought you were supposed… Never mind, let me heal you first so your stamina can recover.”
”There's no time… I want to ask for your favor… Can you help me again? I want to ask the pope to help my parents again.” Agata was desperate as if she believed what her father told her.
She had been thinking about Theo's plan, but none of them actually led to a happy ending. Her company would always go bankrupt because of this, so she truly panicked, thinking Theo might accidentally hit them too hard.
Enrica's face turned pale as she asked, ”What did you say? You want my teacher's help?”
”Yes. I truly need it. If not, the company will go under.”
”That's…” Enrica looked down with a disappointed face.
”Don't tell me…”
”Yes.” Enrica nodded. ”My teacher is not here. He's doing something in another place… I think you have seen the news too?”
Agata dropped to her knees as she fell into despair. ”No way. Did he miscalculate everything? There's no way he does something like this…”
”By the way, where is Theo? I'm sure he's reliable enough to save your company, right?” Enrica asked.
”That's…” Agata looked down, not having that answer.
Feeling the anxiety in her heart, Enrica said, ”Let me call my teacher first. Maybe it's still possible.”
She tried to call the pope and surprisingly managed to connect. ”Teacher?”
”Yeah? What happened? It's rare for you to call me.” The pope's voice was gentle and soothing.
”Actually, Agata is with me right now and she wants your help. Her company might go down if not.”
”Hmm?” The pope fell silent for a moment and said, ”Is Theo the culprit?”
”Eh? But Theo is supposed to be…” Enrica stopped and took off her blindfold to see Agata with her eyes before realizing that Agata didn't fake it. ”That… might be the case.”
”It seems to be so. Do you remember what I told you about him?”
”We're incompatible.”
”Yes. What I mean by incompatible is the fact that we shouldn't get involved with each other. So, I'm afraid I can't do anything.”
”But if it's Teacher, I know you can do something about this.”
