Chapter 179: No matter what you think!
Cristian stared at her dangerously. His eyes were fierce as a beast.
Serena bit her lip and said, "I'm not changing it!"
"Do you want to dress like that tonight?"
Serena straightened up, lifted her chin slightly and revealed her slender neck, "Everyone is dressed like this. Just because in your eyes I'm a lewd woman you don't like what I'm wearing. Why should I consider your ideas?"
Cristian scowled.
With these words, Serena lowered her shawl in front of him, revealing her tender and attractive shoulders, and then turned directly and to the left.
Luke: "..." This was just like playing with fire!
Cristian's breath suddenly became cold, and his hands clenched into fists.
Cristian looked intently at her slender figure, and heard Luca stammering behind him, "Mr. Cristian ... Do we need to catch up on her?"
"She's just a wayward, shameless woman." Cristian's thin lips turned up revealing a wicked expression, "If she wants to show herself, let her do!" Luke: "..."
He feared that if everyone saw her like this later, Cristian would kill everyone.
However, he only dared to think it in his brain and did not say it out loud.
Serena returned to her seat and sat down.
"Why were you gone so long and didn't even answer your cell phone?"
Cell phone? Serena quickly reached for the cell phone in her purse and discovered that the cell phone was turned off.
What a shame!
Why did she forget something very important!
Matteo had sent her a dress by Chiara today, but she had not been called back all day, so Chiara....
Thinking about this, Serena asked, "Do you have a power bank and a cable? My cell phone is dead."
Anna interrupted her, "There is a party today. Who would bring such a thing..."
"I brought it." Alice put her bag on the table and took the battery and cable.
Serena immediately attached the cable and left the cell phone on charge for a while before turning it on.
Fortunately, her cell phone started working again. Serena saw that it had many missed calls and unread messages.
Except for Anna's call, the others were all from Chiara.
Alice was sitting next to her. Casually, she saw a familiar name, and asked confusedly, "Chiara? Isn't she my older brother's secretary?"
Hearing this, Serena nodded, "Yes."
Alice's heart beat, "Why was she looking for you? And why are there so many missed calls?"
Serena remembered Matteo told her to send her a dress. After thinking about it, she thought it was best not to tell Alice, so she explained, "Maybe she wanted to talk to me about the business meeting of last time."
Alice was relieved to learn that it was about work. Alice remembered that they were collaborating, "Right."
"Well, I'll call her back."
Serena got up and went out with the power bank, and then called Chiara.
"Miss Serena."
"Secretary Chiara, I'm sorry, my cell phone was turned off."
On the other end of the phone, Chiara'sgiggling could be heard, "Never mind. I wanted to send it to the company. But then I saw that you already had a dress, so I didn't contact you again." "Thank President Matteo for his kindness."
"You're welcome."
"If it's okay with you, I'm hanging up now."
After Serena hung up the phone, Alice approached her, "Thank my brother for his kindness. What does that mean?"
She suddenly appeared behind her. Serena was surprised by her and covered her chest in fright.
"Alice, you scared me."
Alice smiled, but it was a bitter smile, "I'm asking you, why let the secretary thank my brother for his kindness? Serena, are you hiding something from me?"
Hearing this, Serena frowned slightly.
Hiding? In fact, she did not want to tell Alice the truth. She did not think it was appropriate.
Since she did not receive the dress, there was no need to tell her. However, Alice was her good friend and Matteo was her brother. Would it be fair for Serena to say that now? While she was thinking about it, Anna came in.
"What are you doing? Tonight is the anniversary party. Don't stand here whispering. Let's go. I'll take you to the pool."
At that point they left without her responding.
Having been dragged away, the dialogue between Serena and Alice stopped. Alice felt miserable, probably because of her guilty conscience. She feared that Serena was doing something behind her back! The large pool shone in the light and the water was clear and bright. There was also a piano nearby. A woman dressed in white was sitting there playing, and men and women in elegant clothes were talking and laughing.
There was a nice atmosphere.
Anna went to the pool and said, "Let's stay here and not go anywhere. There will be a good show later."
Good show? Serena and Alice were confused.
"One of you is not part of the company, and the other is new. It's normal that you don't know. During the company's annual banquet in the evening, the vice president and other rich men will have a swimming competition."
Serena listened to her numbly, "Is it a good show?"
"Of course!" Anna grabbed her hand excitedly, "Vice president Ferrari is in great shape! And not only him, but also many other well-off members of the company. They are really good-looking. It's a beautiful sight.
Serena: "..."
Alice: "..."
A moment later, Alice asked her, "Is Cristian coming too?"
"What?" Anna could not help but roll her eyes and look at Alice, "Did you ask that question intentionally?"
"Huh?"
"Everyone knows Cristian is in a wheelchair. How could he compete?"
Alice reacted too abruptly. Right, Cristian was in a wheelchair.
Perhaps it was because he usually looked so imposing that Alice often forgot the fact that he was disabled.
Speaking of Cristian, Serena recalled the fight in front of the bathroom hallway earlier.
Their relationship was already strained after tonight. Would he hate her more?
