Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

Chapter 5: Humiliation



“You!” said the woman who was trembling with anger. “Who do you think you are? If you weren’t a person from the Ferrari, do you think women would like you? You are just a handicapped person. Do you think you are a precious treasure and dare reject me for several times?”

After being insulted so badly, Cristian’s expression became cold and extremely hostile again. The woman, who wanted to say something tougher, was shocked by the atmosphere that suddenly became heavy. Looking at his sharp eyes, she could only fix her clothes bitterly and said, “Just wait and see. I will make you kneel down to beg me!”

Hearing these words, Serena felt like she accidentally discovered his secret….

After arranging her clothes, the woman did not even notice Serena’s presence. Before she went away, she reiterated, “Wait and see. I will make you kneel down to beg me!”

After finishing her speech, she left quickly.

Only Serena and Cristian remained there.

She was still sitting on the floor and did not know where she should look at.

He gave her a cold, sharp look and said, “I underestimated you.”

Serena lifted her head and said without thinking, “I didn’t hear anything…”

“You leave, too.” Cristian ordered her out.

Serena frowned and said in a serious tone, “From now on I will be your assistant. It is you who tell me to come to the company on my own!”

With what she said, she stood up, went behind Cristian and grabbed the wheelchair.

“I came here on my own. Now shouldn’t you keep your promise?”

Before Cristian could answer, she pushed him into the room and said, “What can I do for you?”

He did not answer but the atmosphere grew overwhelming. Then he finally said, “It seems you really don’t know when to quit.”

Serena compressed her lips and said, “I don’t want to be your assistant either, but that’s what your grandfather wants.”

“Are you using him to order me around?”

“Why should I? I’m a victim too.”

Serena noticed the office was a liitle messed up. And there were some papers on the floor. It must be caused by that woman.

So she knelt down to pick up the papers, arranged them and put them on the table.

Seeing this, Cristian became suspicious.

At that moment, Luca arrived. “Mr. Cristian, the meeting will start in five minutes.”

Luca was astonished to see Serena. He never thought she would actually walk in on her own.

Cristian wanted Luca to take him away, but suddenly he thought of something and said, ” Do you want to be my secretary? I’ll give you a chance.”

In the meeting room.

Serena entered the room following Cristian, and everyone was surprised by her presence.

Everyone knew that the only person next to the president had always been his assistant Luca. Now that another person showed up with them, and everyone began to wonder what the relationship was with this woman.

Although Serena had worked as a secretary before, she had never been in such occasion. The meeting room of the Ferrari Group was huge. After all, it was the leading company in the entire North City.

As soon as she entered, Serena felt a strong pressure, so she lowered her head and prepared to receive all kinds of stares by following Cristian and Luca. Until they stopped, all gazes were in fact fixed on Serena.

“President, the one here would be…?”

Leonardo was the vice president of the company, and was one of participants of the meeting. He himself was surprised to see Serena there. She was so nervous that she clutched her clothes and tried to convince herself that she was not nervous. Then she slowly raised her head. And among all the inquiring gazes, she found a kind one and that was from Leonardo.

They looked each other. Leonardo nodded to her and showed her his usual kind smile. Suddenly, she no longer felt so nervous and smiled at him as well.

Serena really thought Leonardo was a kind person.

Cristian noticed these small gestures.

A cold light appeared in his sharp eyes. He squinted and said, “The nurse.”

“What?”

No one understood what Cristian meant, not even Serena.

“President, what did you say?”

Cristian’s eyes were black as night. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the one who asked the question, “My grandfather hires a nurse to take care of me.”

These words made Serena pale. She lowered her gaze and looked at him.

She was clearly his secretary. How could she possibly be his nurse?

“Coffee.” said Cristian in a cold tone when Serena was absorbed in her thought.

Serena did not move, but Luca, who had understood what he meant, gave her a nod and she responded it immediately.

Bringing him a cup of coffee was the job of a secretary.

Serena left the meeting room to go make coffee. Once she returned, the meeting had already begun, so she put the coffee in front of him.

Cristian sipped and said while raising his eyebrows, “Are you trying to sicken me with sugars?”

Luca changed his expression and said immediately, “The president’s coffee must be sugar-free.”

“Bring me another one!”

There was no choice but Serena had to make him another one.

“It’s tasteless.”

And one more.

“Too strong.”

The meeting room became a place where everyone could witness Cristian’s sarcasm for her. The stares from all directions made Serena feel uncomfortable.

She wanted to retaliate, wanted to spill coffee on his head and refused to make more coffees.

But thinking back to her parents, she restrained herself from doing so and went to make another cups of coffee for him.

After she returned from the pantry, she slammed the cup on the table and everyone was shocked.

“With your poor performance, you’re not qualified enough to be the nurse.”

Serena stood motionlessly and paled.

Leonardo, witnessing this scene, could not help but say to his brother, “Cristian, stop.”

Since his brother was even willing to stand up for her, Cristian thought that this woman must really have some skills. The smile on his face grew colder and colder and he said, “Leonardo, since you care so much about my nurse, I will gladly give her to you.”

Leonardo was speechless, while Serena, biting her lip, trembled with nervousness.

This was just too much!

Serena had finally realized that the only reason Cristian had agreed to take her with him to the company was he could humiliate her. In Cristian’s eyes, she had married him solely to get money and fame, so he felt justified in humilating her like this.

“Cristian, why are you doing this? After all, she is…”

Before Leonardo could utter the word “wife,” he was interrupted by Luca. “It’s just coffee. Mr. Vice President, maybe you’re giving it a little too much importance.”

It seemed Leonardo wanted to say something more in Serena’s defense, but she came up to him and said, “I’ll go make another one,” and walked out carrying the cup.

Once, twice, three times. Throughout the meeting, Serena ran back and forth. Cristian can always find something wrong, but she did not complain about it. She was still making coffee until the meeting ended.

Luca himself could no longer remain silent, and when everyone left the room, he whispered to Cristian, “Mr. Cristian, don’t be so harsh.”

Cristian gave a sarcastic smile and said, “She is a greedy woman. If you don’t treat her this way, she will never give up.”

He wanted to see how far she could take it.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
