Later that day German went out to get some business done, but he bumped into Angie again.

Luckily he was with Selvaggia...

Well... Who knows if it was luck, or not, but Angie decided to greet him, even though she was pretty confused about who the woman with the count really was.

But just because of curiousity she wanted to find it out.

- Good day, Lady Morcerf - the count said with a slight smile.

- You too... Uh...

- Oh! My bad - he said - This milady with me is Selvaggia - he introduced her while the two lady shook hands.

- Are you two... Uh...

- Together? Yes - he nodded which made Angie sigh deeply.

For some reason she felt a little jealous, she didn't know herself why.

Meanwhile German also noticed the behaviour changing which kinda made him happy, although he felt a bit bad about it as well.

- Oh, before I forget! - German continued - I'm gonna have a party in my house as well... If everything goes well then on Friday, but I'll send invitations out later on... But I wanted to ask if you'd be interested in coming?

- Well... I'll ask Fernand about it, but I'm pretty sure both him and Albert will be interested.

- Good. Then I'll hopefully see you on Friday.

Angie nodded awkwardly and soon as the count left she went home too.

She was pretty confused about what was this all about.

She didn't think the count has a girlfriend... Or was that woman actually his wife?

He didn't say it for sure if she's his girlfriend, fiancee, or wife... But for some reason she felt quite jealous.

- Stop thinking about them - she groaned to herself in the car while she was heading home to her family to tell them about the new she heard about it.

When she arrived home Angie went to her husband first...

- Hey... Where have you been, Angie? - Fernand asked him.

- I was out for a walk when I met up with the count... Monte Cristo.

- Oh!

- Yes... He was there with his girlfriend... Or wife... I don't know for sure.

- Girlfriend, huh? I didn't even know he has a girlfriend... Or in fact any woman in his life - Fernand said as he als sounded surprised - Who was she actually?

- Her name was Selvaggia.

- Selvaggia... - he repeated - Her name is pretty familiar to me from somewhere....

- To me too actually, but I don't know where from - said Angie - But we might can find out because on Friday he wants to have a party.

- Oh? That's great!

- Yeah... - Angie nodded, but yet she didn't know what to think.

She was excited for the party, but at the same time she was scared to see the count with this woman that was definitely prettier than anyone she has ever seen before in her life.

She felt like things she's feeling lately has something to do with the count and now that his girlfriend is here it might can ruin everything, not letting her find out what is actually going on.

But she didn't give up just yet.
