Chapter 40: Almost Discovered
Lying on the bed, Serena pulled out her cell phone and looked at the time.
It was almost the time for Cristian to fall asleep, and she just had to wait a little longer.
She was probably too upset and fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already the next morning.
She got up and saw that Cristian’s bed was empty. She picked up her cell phone and looked at it, finding that it was almost time to go to work.
Remembering something, Serena turned abruptly and lay down on the edge of Cristian’s bed.
Fortunately, the button was still there, resting quietly.
Serena wanted to pick it up, but with a long distance, she could not grab it easily. As soon as she touched it with her fingers, she pushed the button even farther away.
Seeing this, Serena almost fainted.
This was her limit and she could not go further, so she stood up to see if there was a chance on the other side. What she did not expect that it was even farther from there.
“What are you doing?”
Suddenly a cold sound resounded.
Serena was so startled that she almost screamed.
It was Cristian, but shouldn’t he… have already gone to work? How come he suddenly came back? Serena lay there motionless, for she did not know how to react. In case she got up exposing everything, would he discover it?
Lying there motionlessly made her more suspicious. Cristian narrowed his eyes, and turned his chair toward her. When he reached her side, Serena stood up with an earring in her hand.
“My earring fell here, and I came looking for it.”
Cristian looked at her and saw that she had a bright earring in her hand.
“You look nervous?”
Hearing this, Serena sighed, “No.”
“No?” Cristian arched his eyebrows, and continued to approach her as a strong male breath suddenly came to her, “Then… why are you looking around and sweating on your forehead?”
Serena took a big step back, “I just went back to look for my earring. It was a little hot and I looked for a long time. That’s why I was sweating.”
With that saying, Serena walked in the direction of the bathroom. It was time for her to wash her face and rinse her mouth.
The reason she did not bother to leave Cristian alone was that he sat in the wheelchair, and had no chance to check under the bed without someone’s help. So the button should be safe there.
Today she can go to work with ease.
However, before she went to work, Alessandro called her to the study and asked her to go find Enrico for the collaboration. He also told her not to tell Cristian.
Serena was very concerned when she arrived at the company.
These two people had different ideas, and it was really difficult for her to satisfy both of them as she was caught in the middle.
She could not violate Alessandro’s orders.
Therefore Serena got up from her seat, got into a cab and said to the driver, “Good morning, please go to this address…”
Serena gave the driver the location of the Roman group she had found.
After arriving at the group, Serena went directly to the front desk, but found that she had no reservations.
“Excuse me, miss, you cannot visit President Enrico without an appointment. What can I help you?” The receptionist looked at her suspiciously, and observed her look.
Serena’s face turned red from the observation, remembering what Cristian said last night and what happened when she first went to the Ferrari group.
It looked like she really had to change her clothes.
“Then I’ll go make an appointment for the afternoon.”
With that, Serena left the building. She had not asked Cristian for an ordinary leave of absence, because she was like a transparent person at the company, and he did not need her help at all. Also, Alessandro did not allow her to tell Cristian.
So Serena sneaked back to her place. Nothing happened after a while, and she felt relieved.
After calming down, she made a call to the Romano group to book a visit, but as soon as she told her intention and identity, the other side of the phone hung up immediately.
Serena had to call again.
This time the receptionist sarcastically said to her, “Miss, if you call us again, we won’t be so nice anymore.”
After that, the receptionist hung up the phone again.
Serena put the phone down hopelessly.
The attitude seemed bad, and it should be under Enrico’s order.
There was no way to make an appointment. She could only wait to tell Alessandro when she came home.
Toward the end of work, Alice called Serena, asking her to meet her.
Serena agreed.
When she finished work and reached the elevator door, Luca also pushed Cristian out of the office. Seeing him, Serena felt a little uncomfortable.
He hadn’t been paying attention to her lately. Wouldn’t he know she left company in the morning?
“Assistant Serena.”
Luca now called her Assistant Serena instead of Miss Serena.
In front of Luca, Serena was grateful. After all, he gave her that bed that solved a lot of problems.
So Serena looked at him, with a sweet smile naturally appeared on her face, and nodded to him.
The smile was so sweet that Cristian felt unpleasant and frowned.
Luca worked for Cristian for a long time, and he could immediately understand his needs. This time Luca reacted immediately as well.
Recently Cristian had… something different, right?
The elevator arrived, and Serena waited for the two entered first, while she herself still remained in the place.
“Assistant Serena, won’t you come in?” asked Luca.
Serena smiled, “I forgot to turn off my computer. I’ll go check it. You go first.”
Having said that, Serena stepped back to leave, but suddenly Cristian said, “Come in.”
Serena stopped and looked at him, “But Mr. Cristian, my computer…”
“The computer is off.”
“How do you know?”
“I saw it.”
Serena was speechless.
If he said that, what else could she say? She could only go inside.
The elevator door slowly closed.
The small elevator was enveloped by Cristian’s cold breath, preventing her from hiding.
“Did you go out this morning?”
Serena was flabbergasted.
“No, no.”
She remembered Alessandro telling her not to discuss the matter with Cristian.
“No?” Cristian frowned, and his voice was obviously wary.
Serena was startled.
“Still not telling the truth?”
“I… went out for a while in the morning.”
“What did you do?”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
