Chapter 132: I will sacrifice myself for you
After a long silence, Cristian let her go.
“Well, if this is what you want, then I will make this sacrifice.”
With what he said, Cristian pushed her away. Serena staggered back two steps and looked at him in astonishment.
“I don’t want a woman who has no interest in me.” Those words sounded full of irony, even the corners of his mouth had bent into a wry smile. And his eyes had a scornful look: “You are simply very beautiful, but since you are so reluctant, stay away from me in the future.”
Serena: “… I understand.”
Silently she put her dress back on. Before leaving, she looked at the coat on the ground, “Can you lend me your coat again? I will return it to you when I come home in the evening.”
“Are you relying only on yourself?” Cristian curled his lips. “If you need my help, maybe I could think about it.”
Let it go.
Serena turned and left the office. When she returned to her position and sat down, her chest was still pounding.
That phrase of Cristian’s, “You simply look very beautiful,” kept coming back to her mind.
As she imagined, he only liked her body.
Before, however, she had a feeling that he liked her.
How could she have been so stupid? How could she have had such an idea?
It was like the sun would rise in the west,. It was a wrong feeling.
The zipper behind her dress was broken and could not be pulled up. She could not go out, and Cristian would not lend her the coat. Serena was sitting and stunned.
After a while, the elevator door suddenly opened.
A charming woman stepped out and looked around.
Serena turned to look and saw Anna Galli from the finance department.
What was she doing here?
Anna saw her and rushed over.
Was she looking for her?
“Hi!” Anna ran to her and looked around. When she found that she was alone, she asked in a rude way, “Did you spend all the money?”
The money? Serena thought about what happened at noon and shook her head, “Not yet.”
“No? What about the business meeting? How is it possible that you didn’t spend it? Are you by any chance lying?”
Ever since she had approved the money to Serena’s account, Anna had been in turmoil. She was afraid that Serena would not return the money. If so, it would have been a problem for her in the company.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
The Ferrari Group was not like other small companies. In places like the Ferrari Group, once a mistake was made, you were fired.
What company could have hired her at that point?
That was why Anna had to hurry up and ask her if she had spent that money, and checked the bill.
“I did not deceive you. Simply at noon a very peculiar thing happened, but…” Serena thought that that money should not be available at the moment. Obviously Anna was worried. Serena thought about returning the money to make her feel comfortable.
So she opened her purse and pulled out a card.
“Here it is.”
Anna quickly reached in and took it, looked at it and asked for confirmation, “You really didn’t use it?”
Serena nodded, “Yes, you can record it when you come back.”
Anna: “Okay, I’ll go back and check. If you cheated me, I won’t go easy on you.”
She was about to leave, but suddenly noticed that Serena’s clothes were a little loose, so she asked, “What’s wrong with your clothes?”
Hearing this, Serena unconsciously reached out to fix her clothes, but saw Anna say with a look of disdain, “Did you do this on purpose to seduce Cristian?”
Serena: “… not like you think!”
“Oh, really?”
Serena bit her lower lip in embarrassment and explained, “The zipper is broken and cannot be pulled up.”
Anna believed it and went to check, “Let me help you. Is it really broken?”
Serena: “…” She pulled up her clothes without answering Anna.
Anna saw she had a bad expression, so she took off her white coat and said, “I’ll lend you my coat.”
Serena was stunned.
“What, you don’t want it?” Anna assumed a posture to take the coat back. Serena immediately took it, “Thank you.”
When she thanked her, Anna’s face was unnatural: “What are you thanking me for? I simply can’t stand to see you sitting here dressed like this. It will influence other people’s work!”
After Anna left, Serena put on her coat.
There were still people willing to help her. On the surface, Anna looked mean, but in reality, she was a good person.
Serena suddenly lifted her lips and smiled.

That night, after taking a bath, Alice ran into the next room to check on Matteo. She was stopped by the servant at the door.
“Miss Alice, Mr. Giordano is taking a bath. What can I do for you?”
Hearing this, Alice looked intensely at the man, “I am looking for my brother to talk to him. Why are you stopping me? Can’t I go in?”
Alice’s bad reputation had spread among the servants. Seeing her so angry, the man lowered his eyes and whispered, “Miss Alice, I didn’t mean that. I just want to remind Miss Alice that Mr. Giordano is taking a bath. It might bother him if you come in now.”
“Is that perhaps your problem? Even though my brother will be angry with me, this is not something for you to worry about!” Alice said fiercely, “Get out of here!”
The servant dared not speak again, so he turned and left.
After he left, Alice took a deep breath, then opened the door to the room and went inside.
She would wait for her older brother to enter the room and then ask him how things were going with Serena.
As she entered, Alice thought a lot, plus she was wearing very nice pajamas.
This was the first time Alice had entered Matteo’s room. Matteo’s room reflected him very much. It was colored white and very cold, very plain. After entering she did not feel relaxed at all.
Who had designated that bedroom? It looked like the sad room of a dead man.
A splash of water was heard coming from the bathroom.
Alice looked around and saw the briefcase on the table, with a yellow paper bag next to it.
Could it be the information her brother had on Serena?
Thinking about this, Alice took the envelope and wantede to open it.
Would her brother have been happy if she had opened it?
But she was too curious. Alice thought it would be better to sneak a look, then she would put it back.
Thinking so, Alice quietly opened the paper bag and extracted the contents.
Initially her heart was pounding; she was very nervous. However, after seeing what was inside, her eyes suddenly widened.
How… how could this be possible?
