Chapter 20: Not such a ruthless person
Around the corner, Serena’s steps suddenly stopped as two people suddenly appeared before her.
Luca and Cristian, who was looking at her coldly.
If it had been just now, Serena probably would have left. But after learning that he was rejected by his grandfather and brother, she looked at him differently. However, she could not forget the fact that he made her have the abortion. Then she turned around and left.
“Stop!” Cristian said.
Serena stopped on the spot, turned and looked at him angrily, “What is it?”
“You are my assistant, but you have been absent from work for two days for no reason. Don’t you want to be in the company anymore?”
Hearing this, Serena remembered the words Alessandro had said to her earlier in the study. Thinking that, instead of being the assistant, her job was to control him, she simply said, “I remember that you didn’t need an assistant? I won’t go and bother you anymore. ”
“Do you think the firm is a place where you come and go as you please?”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Serena frowned, “Then what do you want?”
Luca who opened his eyes wide seeing her attitude, “But you are a woman who doesn’t know who is benevolent. The gentleman let you keep the bastard, but you … ”
“Quiet!” Cristian scolded him coldly, and Luca stopped.
“What did you say?” Serena’s eyes widened in disbelief and was unable to believe what Luca said. “How is that possible? You had…”
Serena stared at Cristian. Before she passed out that day, didn’t he want to force her to have an abortion? By asking Luca to find a doctor? She fainted from anger and after she woke up in his room, she thought that everything was already done.
“Don’t think too much. For a woman like you, I don’t feel like worrying.” Cristian finished speaking in a deep voice, letting Luca push him away.
Looking at the back of the two, Serena was confused.
How could this be? She thought… the child would have disappeared long ago. Now that Luca mentioned, she suddenly remembered that when she woke up that day, there was no change to her belly.
Thinking about that, Serena took out her cell phone and called Alice.
Alice arrived and took her directly to the hospital for an examination. When the doctor congratulated her on her pregnancy, Serena was always confused.
Why? She thought that Cristian would not accept this baby, but she did not expect….
“It seems that Cristian Ferrari is not a cold-blooded person.”
Serena did not answer. She lowered her eyes not knowing what she was thinking.
“What are you going to do next?”
“I don’t know. Let’s take it one step at a time.” Serena herself had no life plans. She lived for Francis from the moment she married him, and after the divorce her parents asked her to marry Cristian. For now she had only one goal: to stay in the Ferrari family.
“But… that man, who is he?” Alice was very curious: “You say you had sexual relation and he is not afraid that he will get you pregnant? Why don’t you look for him? Serena, have you ever thought of looking for this person?”
Look for that strange man? Serena’s eyes were slightly confused, “What am I looking for him for? I don’t remember anything about him. I don’t know what kind of person he is. It was rainy that day. The night was too dark and you couldn’t see anything. Besides, now I am Cristian’s wife. If I go to see another man, they will kick me out even faster.”
“I will ask someone to inquire and see if there is any news.”
“Thank you, Alice.”
“What are you thanking? I’ll thank you instead. I was bullied by everyone when we were in school, but you saved me and even got beaten up for me.” Speaking of which, Alice remembered those times in school. She was not yet returned to the Giordano family at that time. She was poor and bullied at school, and it was Serena who came to her rescue.
After that, the two became good friends.
Returning home, Serena went straight back to her room.
When she walked in the room, she discovered that Cristian didn’t go to the company. She was slightly surprised, and after closing the door, she walked over to him.
Cristian was sitting in a wheelchair with a financial magazine, and next to it was a mobile table with a laptop. Serena approached, and found that he was wearing a bluetooth headset on his ear, and a video was shown on his computer.
It looked like… he was doing a video conference.
Seeing this, Serena did not initiate words and stood aside listening to him in silence.
“Well, this proposal is good. Go on.”
“Yes, as soon as possible.”
“Yes.”
Cristian did not say much. Most of them were short sentences. He never looked up and his eyes fell on the magazine. He said, “Email me the plan.”
In about half an hour, the meeting finally ended.
Serena stood until the end of thr meeting. Seeing that the video on the screen disappeared, she took a step forward as Cristian coldly said, “Don’t come any closer.”
Serena was speechless and the steps stopped in place.
Cristian accessed the email seriously.
Okay, he was busy with work.
Serena stopped disturbing him and turned to leave.
“Stop.” Serena turned her head and stared at him curiously.
“Wait here.” Cristian said again.
Serena’s eyes widened. He did not allow her to come closer and let her go. Did he necessarily want her to wait here? Was he all right in the head?
However, Serena knew she blamed him, grabbed him by the collar saying he was a beast, cruel, and that an animal was more emotional than him. She felt guilty about what she did.
Therefore Serena did not move and stood.
Time passed and Serena could not remember how long she had been standing, but she learned that Cristian was very serious while working. Suddenly she thought that serious men at work seemed really attractive. Gradually, her legs became numb, but Cristian had no intention of finishing yet. Was he avenging her? Why did he say those words to her, and was he doing it on purpose?
Thinking about that, Serena could not help but frown, bending down to massage her calf. Finally, Cristian raised his eyes and looked at her.
Serena immediately straightened on her feet, like a child doing something wrong.
“It hasn’t even been an hour. You can’t take it anymore already ?” Cristian raised his hand and looked at his watch, a cold smile on his thin lips.
Serena’s lips moved, but she said nothing.
“What are you looking at me for?”
Serena did not answer, and Cristian emitted a cold snort, closing the computer to leave. Serena felt anxious and said nervously, “I’m sorry!”
Sharp eyes narrowed. Cristian looked at her sideways.
“I apologize for what happened two days ago!” said Serena solemnly, and bowed sincerely to Cristian!
Getting up, Serena saw Cristian staring at her with cold eyes.
“I thought that…”
“What did you think?” Cristian’s tone was cold and mocking, “You think I left the mutt for you? Divorcee, dispel that idea as soon as possible.”
“I…” Serena wanted to tell him something to apologize, but she did not expect him to start so cruelly, and her face paled in embarrassment.
“This is the contract.”
Suddenly, Cristian threw a paper folder at her. As soon as Serena wanted to catch it, the folder fell beside her feet. Serena was surprised for a moment before bending down and picking it up.
Opening the folder, she discovered that it was a manual after marriage.
“Sign it!” Cristian’s voice was cold. Serena raised her head and looked at him. Her eyes were dark. She quickly examined the contract.
“You or your sister are the same problem for me, so I give you only six months. After which, you leave the Ferrari family with this contract and check, and never go back.” Finishing his words, Cristian placed a check on the table.
Seeing the check, Serena felt as if a basin of cold water poured over her head.
She formulated an apology before she arrived, but did not expect that he had already prepared the contract and the check.
“This amount should be enough to satisfy your vanity, right?”
