After he was done with his business meeting, Giovanni was in his hotel room. He didnt want to think about his current position, he distracted himself by thinking what happened before. Lies and deceit, thats what was going on between him and Nimue. She lied ... no.. she kept secret that she was a hero and he kept to himself that he was a villain. Lies and deceit, it reminds him how he lied to his ex as soon as he met her. Way back when he still lived in Italy
~Flashback~
Giovanni parked his car and brought a bouquet of flower with him. He saw his love interest and called out to her "Ludovica"
The lady who he pined on saw him and asked him "Giovanni! What are you doing here?"
He answered "I brought you these" he gave her the flowers
"Oh... chrysanthemum?" she said, not too thrilled about what she got, but she was still polite nontheless, also confused
"Arigato,anywho talking about rigatoni. Do you fancy grabbing a bite to eat together" Giovanni said
"Yes I'd love to"
"Perhaps you know a place near here" he asked her
"To tell the truth, I'd rather go somewhere else. Because this place is crawling with stuck up people. And if theres one thing I cant stand, its rich people" she explained
"Rich people" he repeated
"Yes, I cant stand them. Im sorry, have I put my foot in it? Are you rich?" she asked, raising her brow
"Me? Of course not! I've never owned a cent. Broke for 7 generations" Giovanni quickly lied
"Thank goodness, joking apart. I could never date a guy with money. Ever" she said
"Good"
"Those typical coarse bumpkins..." she spoke, but soon whatever she said was to be background noise a Giovanni saw his car behind her, and a robber approaching it. He would occassionally repeat a word to make it seem as if he paid attention to her "Bumpkins" *looks at robber*
"...who strike rich in it. The kind who buy a big car..."
"A white one" Giovanni said looking at his white vehicle which is being compromised
"...and double park"
"A hummer"
"I cant stand them"
"Neither can I" he then saw the guy sit in his car "There we go!!!" he angrily yelled out, but Ludovica asked "What?" Giovanni meanwhile pretended to still be all about her car talk "The car bumpkins prefer the typical car double parked, door open and" the man drives away "they just drive it away!!!!" he then runs after the car yelling "STOP THIEF!!!"
Ludovica went over to him and asked him "Where are you going?"
"Thief? Rich man you mean"
"Rich? Thief? Its the same. Its synominous. I'LL READ ABOUT YOU IN THE NEWSPAPERS!!!" Giovanni yelled at the guy who drove away his car
"Calm down Giovanni" she calmed him and succeeded
"Im sorry. Its just that when I see this inequality, the blood rushes to my head" he said as his blood did rush to his head albeit for a different reason
"It was brand new,the rogue"
"Come on, lets get something to eat, it'll calm you down. Im famished" she said
"Im not..." she left "...because I suddenly lost my apetite. Fuck him" throws away his keys "Im coming!" he said running to her
~Present Day~
Giovanni facepalmed, it was the moment he will beat himself over for the rest of his life. It saddens him so much how he fucked up, it almost made him cry. He forgets to lock his car and his car then immediatelly gets stolen in broad daylight. God he was so stupid. He'll never forgive himself. Not only that but he remembered how he piled on lie after lie after lie in his last relationship. He hoped that wouldnt happen with Nimue. Its just 1 lie.... Thats good, right. Its not like before when..
~Flashback~
The two were in a restaurant at a table, they are and had a conversation
"How come you moved to Milan from... whats it called?" she asked
"Trapani, because we...wondered if Milan would be a nice city to live in. The only problem is, the people of Milan are all great-"
"Im from Milan" she said mid his sentence, thus Giovanni had to completely change what he had to say and improvise
"-workers... they work too hard here. They really do and they're cocky. Because they work and they brag about it. Its not nice when theres someone out of work nearby. The Romans work too, but in silence, so no one knows. Its not something to brag about" Giovanni said and then he ate
"I noticed you used plural before 'we'. Who's 'we'? You and your wife?" she asked

"Oh... chrysanthemum?" she said, not too thrilled about what she got, but she was still polite nontheless, also confused
"Yes chrysanthemums. But chrysanthemums only have a bad reputation in Italy. They're a symbol of festivities and happiness in Japan" Giovanni said as he explained why he chose this flower. He kept up with his play that he was interested in plants
"I didnt know that. In that case Arigato!" Ludovica said happier and even did a japanese bow."Arigato,anywho talking about rigatoni. Do you fancy grabbing a bite to eat together" Giovanni said
"Yes I'd love to"

"I noticed you used plural before 'we'. Who's 'we'? You and your wife?" she asked
"No, Im not married. Im living with my siblings at the moment" Giovanni said
"Is that so? You work as a florist?" she asked
"No, why?"
"What were you doing at the hotel?"
"What was I doing in the hotel?... That work thingy. An interview" he said as he came up with another lie on the pile of lie
"An interview with plants? Why did you take the plants?"
"You take plants to interviews, they impress. And sometimes it works!"
"Did it work?" she asked
"No, not at all. The manager was angry. He said "its no use insisting, we're not hiring people anyway"" Giovanni said as he lied
"Not hiring people? Thats not true! I know for sure they are looking for staff"
"They are?" he said mortified and surprised
"Yes absolutely. I tell you what. Let me talk to them. Okay? Any job will do in your situation" she touches his hand ",right?"
"No, not any job. Im an agriculturist, remember?"
Cut to the kitchen, his new job was washing dishes. How did a mafioso, a rich criminal stoop so low for a girl that he likes. Not to mention, his new 'Boss' who now gave him a briefing of what he had to do
"Okay Africa, do you speak any italian?"
"I am Italian" Giovanni said
"Yeah okay. Here" he gives gloves to Giovanni "If you dont get the grease off the pans" he whistles "you're going home. If the glasses dont shine" he whistles "you're going home. If you scratch a frying pan-"
Giovanni interupts him and he whistles like the Boss and says "Im going home?"
"No" he whistles "first you pay, then go back to your home in Africa. Okay?"
"Im not from Africa, Im Italian from Trapani, Sicily" Giovanni explains
"Anything south of Pavia is Africa to me. The desert, sahara." he lightly pats/slaps Giovannis cheek "Remember that, behave yourself" he then leaves
Giovanni starts putting on rubber gloves to wash the dishes, but then a man beide him spoke
"Africa you havent washed a dish in your entire life, have you?"
"Not one!" Giovanni casually says
"Like they say in Egypt: learn, dont quit, or you're in the shit!"
"Is that what they say in Egypt?"
"Yes"
~Present Day~
Giovanni shook his head as he remembered what kind of stipid hijinx he gets in. He realized that nothing will offer a good distraction. Thus he decides to contact Nimue who was back in Japan. Only she makes him feel good, only she makes him happy. Not even that bumpkin Antonio does it. He comes close, but Nimue is far superior. He contacts her, hoping it was not too late at night for her
"No, why?"
"What were you doing at the hotel?"
"What was I doing in the hotel?... That work thingy. An interview" he said as he came up with another lie on the pile of lie
"An interview with plants? Why did you take the plants?"
