Chapter 696 - Help
Agata rushed to the Church as she needed to et the pope within two days.
It took her a whole day to reach the Church, and she was exhausted beyond belief.
"Huft… Huft…" Agata panted a few tis when she reached the Church before calling her best friend.
"Hello?"
"Enrica, I'm outside," said Agata with a tired voice.
"Outside, eh? What?" Enrica was obviously not prepared for this kind of statent. The mont she checked, she truly saw Agata standing outside.
Without hesitation, she imdiately ca to her and asked, "Why did you co here? I thought you were supposed… Never mind, let heal you first so your stamina can recover."
"There's no ti… I want to ask for your favor… Can you help again? I want to ask the pope to help my parents again." Agata was desperate as if she believed what her father told her.
She had been thinking about Theo's plan, but none of them actually led to a happy ending. Her company would always go bankrupt because of this, so she truly panicked, thinking Theo might accidentally hit them too hard.
Enrica's face turned pale as she asked, "What did you say? You want my teacher's help?"
"Yes. I truly need it. If not, the company will go under."
"That's…" Enrica looked down with a disappointed face.
"Don't tell …"
"Yes." Enrica nodded. "My teacher is not here. He's doing sothing in another place… I think you have seen the news too?"
Agata dropped to her knees as she fell into despair. "No way. Did he miscalculate everything? There's no way he does sothing like this…"
"By the way, where is Theo? I'm sure he's reliable enough to save your company, right?" Enrica asked.
"That's…" Agata looked down, not having that answer.
Feeling the anxiety in her heart, Enrica said, "Let call my teacher first. Maybe it's still possible."
She tried to call the pope and surprisingly managed to connect. "Teacher?"
"Yeah? What happened? It's rare for you to call ." The pope's voice was gentle and soothing.
"Actually, Agata is with right now and she wants your help. Her company might go down if not."
"Hmm?" The pope fell silent for a mont and said, "Is Theo the culprit?"
"Eh? But Theo is supposed to be…" Enrica stopped and took off her blindfold to see Agata with her eyes before realizing that Agata didn't fake it. "That… might be the case."
"It seems to be so. Do you rember what I told you about him?"
"We're incompatible."
"Yes. What I an by incompatible is the fact that we shouldn't get involved with each other. So, I'm afraid I can't do anything."
"But if it's Teacher, I know you can do sothing about this."
"No. I don't need to be involved in this matter. You might not be able to see it, but I can see the kindness in his heart… That's why you should trust him more. Alright, that's all I can say. I need to take care of other things."
"But Teacher—!" She soon realized the pope had hung up. "…"
There was no word exchanged for another minute as Agata unexpectedly cald down after hearing the pope's words.
"He…" She suddenly rembered a scene that happened not long ago. At that ti, he asked her to give him all information regarding the Safulli Group and Pata Corporation, including everyone involved.
She indeed gave him the information, including the Church as Theo ntioned that she was also involved in the conflict.
"Trust…" Agata gulped down as her heart cald down a bit. "Things might not be like how I see it right now…"
"What's that?" Enrica couldn't hear her mumbling and put back her Skylink.
"I am sorry… The real help that I truly need turns out to be his words…" Agata drew a gasp and looked at Enrica. "I need to go to another place. Sorry and thank you! Let us et again later because I'm going to be busy in the next two weeks."
"Wha—!" Enrica saw Agata leaving again. She couldn't even process what was happening as everything ended in an instant.
She muttered her teacher's words. "We're incompatible… If my life is going to be like this the whole ti, I truly can't stand it. Indeed, we're truly incompatible."
"Dad!" Agata, on the other hand, ran back to the station while calling her father.
"Yeah? Have you reached the Church?"
"Yes. Unfortunately, I couldn't see him nor get his help."
"Hmm?" Boris fell silent and asked with a serious tone. "Why do you sound so calm?"
"There might be so catches in this situation. I am planning to sneak back ho."
"In that case, you should go to the company. It's better if you go back with , so no one will be suspicious. I will drop the key near the car, so use it to sneak inside and wait for ."
"Got it." Agata hurriedly went back to et her family.
It took her six hours, but she managed to sneak inside her father's car before calling him.
Knowing that his daughter was hiding in the backseat, he asked, "So, have you realized sothing?"
"Only two… He must have predicted that I wouldn't be able to get the pope's help and I almost forgot that he didn't like to owe soone a favor. So, I believe the situation is still salvageable. What did Theo say to you?"
"It's not sothing you should know." Boris refused to answer. If Theo indeed had a grand plan, he thought he shouldn't tell Agata about this and ended up disrupting his plan.
"Anyway, the problem won't disappear even if you believe in him. So, I'm going to ask my connections to see whether they can help or not.
"You too… I think it's not safe to go outside during this chaotic situation. It's not like you're going to et Theo in the next two weeks, so I think you should hide inside the house and co up with a plan or two."
"I understand." Agata furiously nodded.
"Good." Boris was also curious about Theo's plan, but he chose to follow his instruction while driving.
Little did they know, they would get another surprise when they reached ho.
