Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

Serena held the contract tightly and signed at the bottom of the page. She put the contract back inside the folder and slowly approached him.

Cristian arched his eyebrows in satisfaction, “Women who are only looking for money are the easiest to deal with.”

In the next second, Serena threw the contract on the table and Cristian frowned in disgust.

“You don’t need to give me the money. I stay in the Ferrari house to get what I need. I thank you that you didn’t force me to have an abortion, but that doesn’t mean you can humiliate me with money!”

Cristian snorted sarcastically, “Shouldn’t a woman like you love money more than her life?”

“You!” Serena clenched her fist and tried to argue with him, but she blurted out and said, “Yes, since you consider me that way, then yes, I am that kind of woman. However, we both have different needs on each other. I have signed the contract and don’t worry. I will leave when time runs out.”

She had to find a solution as soon as possible.

“Well, I look forward to saying goodbye.”

Then Serena left immediately without taking the check from the table.

Cristian closed his long, narrow eyes.

The sum of that check was quite huge, but she did not even look at it. Was she pretending? Or was she really not interested in the money?

If she was not interested in it, what was the purpose of this marriage for her?

After signing the contract, Serena and Cristian were under a contractual relationship, and many quarrels were avoided although she continued to be his assistant under Alessandro’s appointment.

Serena was not stupid. Her working competence was acceptable, and she could always take advantage of the learning opportunities.

In less than a week, Luca already changed his opinion about her.

“Sir, I think she has some talent.”

Cristian smiled coldly and said, “Oh yeah?”

Luca nodded, “All the chores she did, she arranged them very well.”

She was discreet indeed and neat too.

“She managed to enter the Ferrari family with manipulations. Can she be stupid?”

Luca was blocked by his words, did not answer but checked Cristian’s chedule, “There is a banquet tonight. Are you going with Miss Serena?”

“With her?” Cristian touched the table with his fingers and his eyes kept looking at the contents of the computer, “Am I going with her to embarrass myself?”

Luca dared not say anything else and remained silent.

After they said something else, Luca was about to leave, but suddenly Cristian spoke, “Let her in.”

“Yes.” Luca left the office confusedly.

Lately, Mr. Cristian did many contradictory things. As soon as Cristian said that going with Serena would embarrass him, now he asked Luca to let her in. Would he like to bring her to the dinner?

Serena’s office was next door and she was busy with work when Luca called her.

“Wait two minutes. I’m almost done.”

“Do you want to die?” Luca approached her and said seriously, “How dare you go late?”

Serena frowned, laid down the papers and sighed, “Understood.” She walked toward Cristian’s office.

As soon as Serena entered the office, Luca hid behind the door to listen to them.

“Mr. Cristian, are you looking for me?” Cristian ordered her that she could not publish the relationship between them in the company. She was only his assistant and had to call him ‘Mr. Cristian’ like the others.

At first Serena did not get very used to it but after all this time she was no longer uncomfortable.

Cristian threw her a golden invitation letter without speaking.

Serena was surprised for a moment, took it and asked, “Are you going to attend this dinner?”

Serena thought quickly and her beautiful pupils shone, “I remember that Mr. Enrico from the Romano family group is also on the guest list and will surely attend this dinner. You can take this opportunity to negotiate with him in advance about the cooperation intention.”

A faint appreciation flashed in Cristian’s dark gaze. The woman reacted quickly and possessed a good memory.

“Yes.”

“Then Mr. Cristian, I’ll go and get ready right away.”

“You come with me.”

Serena was about to leave and was stopped by Cristian’s words. She asked doubtfully, “Do you want me to go with you?”

“I don’t like to negotiate at a dinner part. You do this for me.”

Serena understood and nodded, “I understand. I’ll say hello to Mr. Romano. If there are no other problems, I’m going out.”

“Yes, there is a problem.” Cristian looked at her coldly from head to toe, making her feel uncomfortable that she unconsciously put her legs together.

“Change your clothes.” Cristian said with a frown.

Serena looked at herself. Her clothes were cheap that she bought earlier.

But she felt comfortable wearing them and since he said nothing, she’ll continue wearing them.

She bit her lower lip and said, “All right, after work I’ll go to the mall nearby to change them.”

“Luca!”

Eavesdropping outside the door, Luca was surprised by Cristian’s voice.

What? Why did he discover again?

After the two times’ discoveries, Luca promised he would never eavesdrop again. He dared not linger and entered in stride.

“Mr. Cristian.”

Cristian looked at him coldly. Luca understood his idea and asked uncertainly, “So, shall I take Miss Serena to pick out a dress for dinner?”

“Yes.”

Getting it right, Luca sighed with relief and said, “I’ll go get the car ready.”

Half an hour later, the three showed up at the mall. Serena followed them to a store where the interior decoration was luxurious and played melodious music.

Although Cristian was sitting in a wheelchair, it was clearly evident that he dressed well. Therefore, the clerk quickly approached with an enthusiastic smile to serve them.

“Hello sir, welcome to our store.”

Cristian totally ignored her, and it was Luca who, behind him, spoke up, “Choose an evening gown for her.”

Serena hid behind Luca, and was slightly startled. It was not the first time she entered such a store, but the decor of the store and those bright lights made her bow her head. In fact, she often came to such places with her friends, but after marrying Francesco, those times were now forgotten.

The clerk’s smile stopped after seeing Serena’s clothes.

“For this lady?”

“Yes!” Luca nodded and said seriously, “Choose it well.”

“Yes, yes, ma’am, come with me.”

The clerk entered with Serena.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Soon, Serena came out in a black and white dress. Because it was Cristian who brought her there, the clerk brought her to him for advice.

Cristian looked at her and said in a cold tone, “Change!”

Serena’s expression changed slightly and she went to change into another one.

This time, it was a completely black dress and Cristian arched his eyebrows.

Serena clenched her fingers in silence and continued to turn around.

She changed constantly. Cristian’s brow furrowed and it seemed to lower the temperature in the store.

When the saleswoman brought her back, Cristian threw the magazine on the table.

Serena startled and unconsciously bit her lower lip.

“If not… let’s finish trying…”

Cristian’s look of contempt forced her to lower her head. She knew she did not fit into those luxurious clothes and looked like a clown.

However, Cristian spoke unexpectedly, “Don’t give her these old woman clothes. She is thirty not fifty years old.”

Saying this, Cristian’s sharp gaze fell on the clerk. Instantly, she felt a pressure on her shoulders. Her face paled and she nodded silently, “I understand.”
