Lina
"So how long have you worked for Bruno, Anna?"I ask, sitting on the stool near the kitchen counter.
"A few months, I think," Anna says while focusing on putting the dishes in the dishwasher.
"Oh, I thought it was longer, "I say, trying to keep the disappointment out of my voice.
She must probably not know much about Bruno since she hasn't worked for him for long.
"Why,Lina?" she asks.
Yeah,you heard that. I am Lina to her now.
I shrug as she presses the on button and comes to me.
"I just thought you must've worked for him for a long time since he funded your granddaughter's treatment."
"No,it's not that. I'm just so damn good at my job," Anna tells me with a wink.
"Okay, Anna, "I say with a small smile.
"So you and Bruno aren't close at all?"I say, continuing to pretend as if I'm just making conversations.
Anna shakes her head no.
