Chapter 192: A Chance Encounter
Bruno felt a surge of anger, but Vanessa gently grabbed his arm and softly said, "Bruno, come with me to look at the hats over there. I really like them."
As she spoke, she took Bruno's arm and led him away. Behind them, the girl's mocking laughter echoed; she felt very pleased with herself for upsetting Vanessa.
Bruno's mood was thoroughly ruined by the arrogant and unreasonable girl. However, today was meant to be a special day for Vanessa, so he tried to suppress his anger and accompanied her around the store.
Vanessa noticed Bruno's mood and continuously tried to cheer him up, gradually improving his spirits.
They were not there to make big purchases; after all, Milan was the world's most famous fashion capital with more brands and better prices. If they really wanted to shop, it made more sense to do it back in Milan.
So, as they walked around, they mostly browsed and didn't buy much.
After almost two hours in the store, it was nearing noon, and they decided to leave. As they approached the counter to pay, they saw the girl again, accompanied by two store assistants, carrying numerous shopping bags.
Vanessa insisted on paying for her purchases: a set of evening wear and a cashmere coat, totaling less than $5,000. Bruno didn't argue with her decision.
Seeing Vanessa handle the payment, the girl looked even more disdainful. She walked up to the counter, casually took out a credit card, gave Bruno a mocking smile, and handed it to the cashier.
After leaving the DIOR flagship store, Bruno and Vanessa went to a nearby restaurant for lunch. It seemed they couldn't avoid the girl, as she also entered the restaurant shortly after they did.
"Unbelievable, we ran into that rude girl again," Bruno muttered, feeling like his day was cursed.
Vanessa glanced back and saw the girl. She chuckled and said, "Bruno, it seems like she's our shadow today. Did you know her before?"
Bruno shook his head, "I saw her last night when I came to see you. She's staying in the room next to yours. You saw her too."
Vanessa nodded, sipping her juice, "She seems very wealthy, spending $180,000 just like that."
Bruno shook his head, "She's a spoiled girl who spends money recklessly."
At that moment, the girl saw them, considered her options, and then walked directly towards Bruno and Vanessa.
Bruno prepared himself, thinking, "Is she really going to provoke us again?"
Vanessa, sensing Bruno's tension, grabbed his hand to calm him down.
The girl, sensing Bruno's unfriendly demeanor, smirked and then turned away, choosing a table by the window.
Bruno got out of bed, feeling the refreshing sea breeze from the Persian Gulf blowing through the window. Vanessa was still asleep, her fair skin glowing in the morning light.
Opening the curtains, he enjoyed the beautiful view of the Persian Gulf. The waves crashed against the shore, palm trees rustled in the wind, and the morning sunlight reflected off the white sand, creating a dazzling scene.
The beach was already bustling with activity. Bruno felt a sudden urge to dive into the sea and challenge the waves.
The urge quickly turned into action. The Burj Al Arab hotel was so close to the beach that he could step onto the sand in moments. Many other vacationers were already there, taking advantage of the sunshine, warm water, and perfect weather.
Bruno did some warm-up exercises on the beach.
As he prepared to enter the water, he noticed two men in black suits standing not far away, watching the sea. Based on his experience, Bruno guessed they were bodyguards.
"Must be someone important swimming here," he thought.
Bruno shook his head, finished his stretches, and walked to the water. Without hesitation, he dove in and swam towards the open sea with strong, graceful strokes.
The waves were gentle today, allowing him to quickly swim past the safety buoys and into deeper waters.
Bruno stopped to float on his back, feeling a sense of relaxation he'd rarely experienced. The beach's noise faded away, leaving only the sounds of the waves and seagulls.
He heard a boat approaching and turned to see a middle-aged man swimming towards him, with a speedboat trailing behind at a steady pace. The bodyguards from the beach were aboard the boat.
Bruno ignored the man and continued swimming. He wanted some peace and quiet, without anyone disturbing him.
Before long, Bruno had left the man far behind. When he looked back, the man was still stubbornly following him.
Bruno sighed, continuing to swim further out, confident he could outpace the persistent swimmer.
Eventually, Bruno reached a point where the shore was no longer visible. The ocean stretched endlessly around him, the water a clear, deep blue. The sun was high in the sky, its rays too bright to look at directly.
Floating on his back, Bruno let the sun warm his body and his mind wander.
Suddenly, he felt someone approaching. He flipped over to see the middle-aged man swimming up to him.
"Hey, young man, it's me," the man panted, "I didn't expect to swim this far. You're incredibly fast. I can barely keep up. I guess I'm getting old."
Bruno treaded water and saw the speedboat had stopped at a safe distance, about 60 meters away. The man must have ordered his guards to stay back.
Impressed by the man's determination, Bruno nodded. "You did well to make it this far."
The man chuckled, "I think so too!"
Seeing that Bruno intended to keep swimming, the man asked, "Are you going to keep going?"
Bruno looked at the vast ocean and nodded firmly. "Yes."
"You're amazing. I can't go any further, but enjoy yourself. I'll follow you in the boat," the man said, waving to the speedboat to come closer.
Bruno appreciated the man's concern for his safety. He continued swimming for a while longer, feeling relaxed and at peace.
Eventually, Bruno decided to head back. He swam back at full speed, his powerful strokes impressing the man, who watched in admiration.
When Bruno reached the shore, the man approached him, giving him a thumbs-up. "Incredible! You must have swum at least 10 kilometers."
