Bianca loved the stars, ever since she was little, she knew how to count the stars from the balcony, and her grandmother would tell her that once you start, you must not stop counting because the stars determine our fate and how long we will live, that's why you have to count at least 100 stars.That's why Bianca, at the moment when the banker spoke to her, just continued counting the stars, when she passed the number 100, she turned away from the telescope in a good mood.
"Come on Dr. Ling, I now leave it to you to look at the sky full of stars with a telescope, these telescopes of yours can see much more distant stars than the telescopes I used before."
Seeing him frown for the first time, she took him by the hand and brought him in front of the telescope," if you haven't looked at the stars before you have to close your eyes like this and put your eye to the lens of the telescope because the hole is very small, but through it we see the vast cosmos, it's fantastic isn't it?"
"Hurry up, the shooting star is coming," Bianca remarked excitedly.
There were many visitors on the tower and some of them started to pay attention to them because Bianca was visibly overjoyed that she could see the stars with her own eyes.That was an alarm for the banker, "if someone recognizes him, the paparazzi of the tabloid newspapers will come immediately, because they have been writing a lot about him these days," so he rests his eyes on the telescope without saying a word.Bianca was at his side watching the arc of the shooting star disappear into the distance.
Now Doctor Ling was deliberately delaying to take his eye off the telescope, he heard the visitors slowly leaving the tower, it became unusually quiet, it must be the time when the tower closed for visitors, so he said to Bianca who was also watching the stars from the other telescope because there were no more nobody on the tower.
"We have to go Bianca!"
"Just a little longer, now I discovered Planet X with its companion star."
"Bianca, if we don't leave now, the guards will lock the exit door and we'll have to sleep in the tower, " he threatened.Of course, he knew that before closing, the guards must check the tower and see if there are any visitors still on it.With that, Bianca decided to listen to him and they headed for the exit.
Bianca once again took a look at the panorama of the city of Shanghai and the city itself seems like a city from fantasy and sci-fi movies. Cheerful and relaxed, she took the banker's hand as she descended the stairs to the elevator, which was one floor below.They looked like a couple that had been in the tower a lot that day.If the other girl had grabbed his arm Doctor Ling would have considered it rude and immediately pushed her away, this time he held back because he had an important conversation with Bianca, at one point tired of walking up the stairs Bianca tripped because she was wearing high heels for going out on the town, Dr. Ling caught her falling in his arms to keep her from falling down the stairs."If you wear high heels again, I won't be in town to catch you from falling, " he said jokingly."And where are you traveling?""To your Europe, not only Italy but neighboring Austria, " he continued."Business trip?""Yes, something like that, I'm going on my private plane, I'll only stay for two days, if you want I can take you to Venice to visit your family, you must miss them a lot, it's usually like that first month when someone is separated from their family.""As he only knew that I miss my family, he seems to read my mind," Bianca thought to herself.The banker looked at her and smiled:
"No, I'm not reading your mind, it's completely normal that you miss your family, because you've spent your whole life in Venice.When I was a student like you I had to study elsewhere, that's the reason I understood you."
Bianca was nostalgically sad, she would have gladly accepted the banker's invitation, but she had just arrived in China and her parents would want her to be strong and not return to Italy without a diploma of completion of her studies.Of course, she couldn't tell the banker that, so she just excused herself that she had a lot of classes and lessons at the university that she shouldn't miss."Great, you're a student who doesn't run away from class," he told her.While talking, they did not notice that they had already reached the exit where the guard was just waiting for them to leave the building so that he could lock the entrance.Good night, I should have closed ten minutes earlier, but I did check the camera robots and they reported that one couple was still watching the stars from the tower," guard said to them.The banker was uncomfortable. Probably the guard thought that Bianca was my young lover, because usually in the night hours lovers were around town hidden from the public. Although he thought he had passed unnoticed at the top of the tower, on his way out in the wee hours of the night, the flash cameras clicked and the cameraman ran away.
