Chapter 42: Got agitated easily
Serena ran out of the room in such a hurry that she had no time to put on her shoes.
She found that maid, “Excuse me.”
Serena asked with a shy attitude because she knew that maids of the Ferrari family despised her. There was no telling if she would be able to take back the button.
She was willing to receive the maid’s scorn, but the maid stepped back and changed her facial expression when she saw Serena. Then the maid greeted her thoughtfully, “Madam.”
The phenomenon surprised Serena. What happened?
“Madam, how can I help you?”
After a pause, Serena nodded. Although she did not understand the reason for the change in attitude, she now had more important things to take care of: the button.
Serena asked her, “I saw that you just set up the room. Did you happen to find a button?”
And the maid suddenly remembered, “Yes, the gold button? I thought it was Mr. Cristian’s.”
“No!” Serena reacted violently, “It is mine. Where is the button?”
“Emm…” The maid changed her expression slightly and said, “I apologize, Madam. I thought that button belongs to Mr. Cristian, and I asked Giorgia Mancini to go and confirm.”
Serena was genuinely startled, as if her heart was jumping out of her throat, and her expression turned sullen: “Cristian is not back yet, is he? Where are you going to ask?”
“Yes, ma’am, because I’ll be off in a little while. Tonight Giorgia will be on duty, so I gave her the button to ask Mr. Cristian when he is home. Ma’am, if that button is yours, I’ll go get it for you.”
Serena almost died of tension and was very worried that that maid named Giorgia would go to Cristian directly with the button. She preferred to get it herself just in case.
“No need, tell me where Giorgia is. I can go alone.”
The maid noticed her mood, and told her very carefully, “I’ll accompany you to see her.”
“Okay.”
Following the maid, Serena heard that Giorgia had gone out.
Hearing the news, Serena’s expression grew worse, startling the poor maid who said tremblingly, “Madam… I apologize! I didn’t know the button belongs to you. If I knew, I will return it to you right away instead of giving it to Giorgia.”
“You had met me. I’m his wife, but instead of giving it to me, you gave it to-” Serena was furious. The maid just saw her, and clearly knew that she lived in the room. Why couldn’t she give her the button directly?
She could not resist scolding her.
“Madam… that button is used in man’s clothes, and I found it under Mr. Cristian’s bed, so I immediately thought that the button must be Mr. Cristian’s.”
Serena reacted upon hearing these words. What she said was the truth. She almost forgot that this button normally fit on men’s clothing. The others would doubt why she was so nervous.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
She did her best to remain calm and told her, “That button fell off the coat I bought for my father. It is very important to me. Could you help me contact Giorgia to bring it to me?”
The maid nodded, “Yes, ma’am. I will do that right away.”
The maid went out to make the call, and Serena stood there.
Although she was nervous, she did not dare to show her mood again.
About two minutes later, the maid answered her after the call, “Giorgia has gone shopping, and will be back in more than an hour. Madam, could you please take some rest in your room? I asked her to bring it to you as soon as she comes home.”
More than an hour! How! An hour later Cristian would also be back. If Giorgia took it to the room, Cristian would find out anyway. Thinking of it, Serena asked in a low voice, “The button… does she have it with her?”
“Yes.”
What a trouble!
“Madam, I understand you. I’ll stay here and wait for her, and when Giorgia gives it to me, I’ll bring it to you.”
Without a solution, Serena nodded, biting her lip, “I’ll come see you in an hour.”
Back in the room, she immediately texted Alice who gave her a call to ask what happened from start to finish. When she learned of the situation, Alice seriously scolded her, “How stupid you are! They both serve the Ferrari family. They will doubt you for your strange behaviors”
Serena bit her lip, “At first I was too nervous that I couldn’t calm down.”
“What are you worried about? You’re still Mrs. Ferrari. They can’t help it if you scold them stiffly. You cause suspicion if you get strangely agitated by yourself.”
Alice gave a sigh, “To deal with the worst situation, I have to get the button before the maid arrives. Tell me what you know.”
“Is it possible? I don’t have much information.”
“Don’t underestimate the Giordano family. Trust my brother and wait for my news.”
Serena stood stunned with her cell phone in her hand after hanging up the call.
Soon after, Cristian returned with Luca. Serena, probably having a guilty conscience, immediately stood up when she saw him, and looked at him uncomfortably.
Serena was a person who was unable to hide her thoughts and showed everything she was thinking in her expression.
In the days of living together, Cristian had found out. Seeing her action, her hand clutching the cell phone and her gaze that was undaunted to stare into his eyes, he quickly realized that the woman made some mistakes.
Cristian seemed to consider something, and said to Luca, “You can leave.”
Luca nodded and glanced at Serena, “Yes sir, I’m leaving. Call me if you need me.”
What Serena was most afraid of was being with that man alone in a room. In front of his indifferent eyes, as if they could clearly see everything she was thinking, she did not know what to do or where to put her hands.
Her cell phone vibrated, evidently indicating that she had received a message. But Serena still stood there, without any movement.
Cristian moved the wheelchair, slowly approaching her.
Serena held the cell phone tightly and stood stunned.
When the man approached, she stepped back to sit on the bed.
“Are you afraid? What have you done improperly?”
“No, nothing.” Serena shook her head, “You’re tired, aren’t you? I’ll get you a glass of water.”
Then she got up and intended to leave the room, but stopped at the man’s call.
“Tell me the truth. What did you do this morning on your way out of the company? You still have time now.”
Hearing this, Serena stopped, and lowered her head as she looked at the man sitting in the wheelchair.
Did he suspect of that thing, instead of doubting herself to something else?
If she could use this matter as an excuse.
