Chapter 114: We found the designer
Before Serena finished her sentence, Cristian looked at her coldly and said, “What are you saying? Do you think I will tell my aunt about these things?”
Serena slowly lowered her eyes.
It was true. she was pregnant and he was not the father. Such a thing for a man was humiliating. How will he be able to tell?
Serena’s mood darkened.
“My wound has been healed, then I’m going out.” She said in a low voice.
Cristian had no more reason to hold her and nodded, “Okay.”
Serena returned to her seat. Her eyes saddened.
What was I fantasizing about?
Later Serena got rid of those thoughts and focused on work, soon she finished work.
Her phone rang and there was a message from Alice.
{Serena, my car is parked in front of a supermarket near the entrance to your workplace. Afterwards come straight here. }C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
{Ok.}
Serena packed her things and left.
On her way down she met Cristian and Luca who were leaving the office, Serena hesitated for a moment, then went to Cristian and said, “Eh… I’m not going home with you tonight.”
Cristian arched his eyebrows.
Serena quickly explained, “I’m going to see Alice.”
That woman again? Cristian wrinkled his forehead, “Is she your friend?”
Serena nodded, “Yes, we have known each other for a long time. Really I’m going to her, not someone else.”
She was worried that Cristian would think she was going to see other men, so she explained to him earlier to avoid misunderstanding.
Cristian looked at her for a moment; he was pleased with her explanation. She came to explain things to him because she was afraid he would think something else. It meant she cared about him after all.
“Okay.” Said Cristian, “Let Luca accompany you.”
Serena changed her expression slightly, “No need. Luca has to take you home.”
Cristian smiled, looked at her intently, “Do you worry so much about me?”
Serena blushed, “I have to go now.” She quickly ran away.
When she went downstairs, many people were trying to avoid her, probably because of what had happened in the cafeteria. Many people thought she was a scary person.
Serena paid no attention, quickened her steps and walked toward the supermarket. When she arrived she saw Alice’s car. She knocked on the window but Alice seemed to be lost in her thoughts and did not react.
It seemed strange to Serena. She knocked again and called out to her, “Alice?”
Alice still seemed not to notice anything. What must she be thinking?
Once again Serena knocked loudly and shouted her name. Only then did Alice come back to herself and saw Serena was outside her car. She immediately opened the window.
“Serena you’re here.”
“What’s the matter with you? You looked absent. I’ve been here for a while already.” Serena gave her a sweet smile and went to get into the car.
Alice said, “Don’t get in. Let’s go to the third floor of the supermarket. There is a pastry shop there.”
Pastry shop…
As soon as Serena heard pastry shop, she immediately changed her expression.
“Don’t worry. They don’t just make pastries. There’s more.” Alice got out of the car and took her inside.
Serena followed her up to the third floor. Alice took many things to eat. Serena took a bottle of juice. Then they sat down.
“Forgive me. The day you went to the hospital I wanted to go and see you, but you were sleeping. That’s why I didn’t bother you.”
As soon as she heard, Serena was surprised by what she said. That day when she woke up she saw only Cristian; she did not know that Alice had been there as well.
“Were you there that day?”
“Of course.” Alice nodded, “My friend was in the hospital. I definitely had to go there to visit her.”
Serena smiled, “I knew it, you are the person who loves me the most.”
Alice: “Then I asked you out today because I have something very important to tell you.”
Having said that, Alice first looked around, then went next to her and said in a low voice, “We found that designer.”
Just then a waitress was bringing a glass of juice. After hearing the news Serena became agitated, suddenly stood up and bumped into the waitress.
“Ah excuse me!”
The glass fell on the floor becoming shattered into pieces. The juice spilled all over Serena.
The waitress thought it was her fault, became frightened and apologized continuously, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Alice said angrily, “What’s the matter with you? Is this the way to serve?”
Serena stopped Alice and said to the waitress, “It’s okay. It was me who got up suddenly. It’s not your fault, however, could you bring me some tissues?”
The waitress nodded, immediately went to get tissues for Serena. When she returned she was together with the manager, who continued to apologize to her.
“I’m really sorry miss. She’s just new here. We’re sorry we ruined your dress. To apologize today all the things consumed here are on us.”
The dress on Serena was what Cristian bought for her, and the manager knew that dress was very expensive.
In addition, Alice’s clothes were all branded too. The manager did not want to offend her and kept asking for forgiveness.
Alice: “Do you want to get away with just a little food? And my friend’s dress remains ruined like that?”
The manager: “What do you suggest we can do?”
“I’m sorry!” The waitress stepped forward and apologized again to Serena: ” I really didn’t do it on purpose. Please forgive me this time.”
Serena was wiping the stains off herself. She heard those words and raised her head, “I already said, it’s my fault. Alice leave them alone.”
Alice huffed, “I’m talking for your good. She can’t even hold a tray. They just want to get away with an excuse and some sweets. How much do the sweets cost?”
“We’re really sorry.”
“It’s okay. Go to work.” Said Serena.
“Thank you very much, really.” The girl gave Serena a gratifying look.
After they were gone, Alice said, “Come on, your dress is all ruined and you just let it go?”
“Really it was my fault.” Serena explained in a low voice, “I was excited before, and we bumped into each other. If we put it that way, I broke their glass too.”
Alice said no more and ignored her.
Then suddenly she remembered something and asked smilingly, “How come you were so excited? Is it because we are about to find that man?”
Serena: “… Don’t talk nonsense.”
Alice squinted her eyes, “Maybe you can’t stand Cristian anymore and want to leave him first?”
Can’t stand him anymore and leave him sooner?
