Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

The house was empty, though, and Cristian was not there.

Serena did not give up and ran back to the studio.

But Cristian was not there either. Serena had no idea where he might be. Because of those words spoken by her, she had the feeling that he wanted to disappear from her life.

Or maybe she had never entered his life.

So Serena washed and changed her clothes to go to the company.

On her way out she met Alessandro downstairs.

She had not seen him for a long time. He seemed very busy lately.

When he saw Serena, he looked at her and asked, “Aurora, how are you doing with the things I asked you to do last time?”

Serena was turned around. At first she did not remember what he had asked her. It took her a while to remember that Alessandro had asked her about Leonardo and Alice.

Thinking about this, Serena immediately explained, “I mentioned it to Alice, but… she seems to already have a boyfriend, so…”

Alessandro narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing that speech, as if he was studying her words. Serena was so numb that she could not help but lower her head and bite her lower lip.

“Grandpa.”

A soft voice rang out behind her. It was Leonardo’s voice.

“Didn’t you invite Mr. Dario to do some sports? If you don’t go out again, he will tease you about this delay.”

Alessandro looked at Leonardo with an indecipherable look, but finally looked away, “All right, Aurora, I’ll visit you another day.”

“Goodbye.”

After Alessandro left, Serena noticed that there was a thin layer of cold sweat on her back.

His eyes were too sharp, and in front of him, Serena was always afraid of being caught.

Leonardo walked down the stairs, “Are you okay?”

Leonardo.

Serena did not feel in the mood to face him. When she heard his voice, she lowered her eyes, looked at her toes, and turned to leave.

“Sister-in-law!” Leonardo saw her turn and walk away. She did not even greet him. He had an anxious tone of voice and called her to turn around.

Serena took a step.

Leonardo said in a cold voice, “Are you hiding from me?”

Serena: “…”

She didn’t know how to deal with it. It was … too complicated.

She thought that Alessandro had fooled her around, perhaps… she was a pawn destined for sacrifice.

Thinking about this, Serena closed her eyes, whispered no, and then continued to move forward.

Leonardo stepped forward and blocked her way.

“If you didn’t hide from me, why don’t you see me in the face?”

Serena thought to herself, “Please leave quickly. I’m not in the mood to face you now!”

Usually Leonardo had a very cool manner, but at this moment he seemed reluctant, “Did I do something wrong? Have I caused you trouble? O…”

“No!” Serena suddenly raised her head and interrupted him, “Don’t worry. It’s my problem! I have to go to the company and I’m in a hurry. Sorry.”

At that point Serena left.

Leonardo turned his head and saw her slender figure walking quickly.

She thought of him as a scourge.

He watched her until she disappeared, after which Leonardo came to his senses. It seemed to him that he had paid too much attention to her recently….

But why the hell was she avoiding him? What was her problem?

Serena arrived at work late, but before fixing this problem, she went straight to the office to find Cristian.

As she was about to enter, she was stopped by Luca.

“Miss Serena, you can’t come in.”

Serena’s face paled, “I need to talk to Cristian.”

Luca: “I tell you again. You can’t come in and out of his office at will. Don’t cause me trouble.”

Serena: “…”

She did not expect that remark to cause such anger.

“Also, from today on, you will no longer be Cristian’s assistant.”

“What?” Serena looked at him and asked incredulously, “What do you mean?”

Although in a somewhat cruel way, Luca told her the truth: “You have been degraded by Cristian.”

Degraded…

Serena swallowed. She opened her pink lips. A moment later, she asked helplessly, “What will my job be?”

“Housekeeper, cleaning woman.”

Cleaning woman? Serena’s face paled in an instant.

What kind of demotion was that? Was it like kicking her out of the company? Making her, an assistant, suddenly become a cleaning lady. What would others think?

“Or, you can choose to work in the lowest position, but there are a lot of people in that position.”

In other words, there were not many people who wanted to be cleaners, for it was hard work.

The position of ordinary clerk was not so hard. There were many people, and if she was demoted she will be bullied.

Serena lowered her eyes and laughed, “Why didn’t you fire me directly?”

Luca said solemnly, “Cristian also wanted to fire you directly, but don’t forget that you are salaried by our company, so you will stay here.”

Serena: “… so he was very careful.”

At that moment she wanted to explain herself, but he would not understand a word.

Serena felt that Cristian was really angry with her. He would never do such a thing before, but now he had directly demoted her.

This was also a message to the employees of the company, even though he had a relationship with Serena in the past, it did not matter now.

Serena was no longer covered. Everyone could now bully her.

“Serena, Miss Serena.” When Luca saw her leave, he couldn’t help but call out to her, “You said something very serious this time. For Cristian… it’s the worst thing you can say to him.”

“I know.” Serena nodded, “I was nervous at the time. I explained but he wouldn’t listen, but now it seems pointless. I’m going to go to work now. But first I’m going to settle my things.”

Serena quickly returned to her seat to sort out her things.

Luca sighed as he looked aside. They were clearly a couple. The feelings between them were really strange.

Luca did not understand.

At lunch, Serena told Anna that she had been demoted.

“How can that be? Cristian is not very fond of you? How can you have been suddenly demoted? I don’t believe it! Are you kidding me?”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Serena’s lips curved into a bitter smile. She had no desire to eat the rice in the bowl, “Do you think I’m kidding?”
