Chapter 4: He must find her!
Although Cristian did not continue, Serena knew that this was a pure threat.
She was furious since she had to follow him around all day. He had said they should have nothing to do with each other, but now they were bound together by compulsion, and she was not happy at all.
However, she said nothing, as her position was quite uncomfortable.
All the way to the gate, Cristian said nothing, sitting in the wheelchair, then got into the car. Serena instinctively wanted to get into the car as well, but Luca blocked her.
“Miss Serena, this is Mr. Ferrari’s private car.”
Serena stopped, “What do you mean?”
Cristian turned to her and said with his cold, deep and mocking eyes: “You want to be my assistant, but you’re not up to it yet.”
Hearing these words, Serena’s expression changed, “What do you mean? Then why did you promise your grandfather?”
Cristian paid her no further heed and returned to his cold stare. As Luca, who was with expressionless face, prepared to close the door, Serena stopped him and asked, “How do I go there? Your grandfather…”
Hearing her mention of his grandfather, there was a violent flash in Cristian’s eyes. He looked up and stared at her dangerously.
“Luca, show her the route and tell her to go there by walk.”
Serena was speechless. How could a person be so cruel? Luca, with an expressionless face, showed her the route and closed the door abruptly.
“Miss Serena, good luck.”
The car drove off and Serena stood alone in front of the gate in a state of confusion. The doormen who had witnessed the scene looked at her with compassion.
Facing their sympathetic eyes, Serena’s heart suddenly felt uncomfortable. She clenched her fists. She would go there by walk.
In the car, Luca asked him, “Mr. Cristian, isn’t this a bit much for her?”
Cristian frowned and said in a cold tone, “Why don’t you go and keep her company?”
The assistant paled, “Never mind.”
Cristian huffed, glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the petite figure standing by the gate. A moment later, he thought back to something that made him smile slightly.
“Do you have any news of the woman whom I told you to look for?”
Speaking of this matter, Luca covered his mouth with his hand and coughed slightly, “Mr. Cristian, there are no surveillance cameras at that street. The rain was heavy and it was dark at night, so passersby’s face can not be seen. But if you can get me more time, I think I can find her out.”
Luca felt really depressed. Usually when it came to something that concerned Cristian, Luca always found a way to deal with it. Only this one he had not been able to manage it.
Cristian’s breath grew cold again and said “A month. If it’s meant to be, that woman should be pregnant.”
Luca was surprised. A woman was carrying Mr. Cristian’s child? And he didn’t even know the woman’s name and appearance. This was not a joke. Luca’s expression turned serious.
“I see. I’ll have the hospital keep an eye on the movement.”
Cristian retracted his gaze. He had never touched a woman before, and the woman of that night had been his first one. Therefore, he must find her!
It took Serena near half an hour before she arrived at the Ferrari Group.
Unfortunately, once she arrived, she was left out for being without a reservation.
In the North City, the presence of the Ferrari Group was like a part of the city. It was the biggest company that carried on the whole city’s economy. Fifteen years ago, North City was small that no one cared about, whereas it had made the leap now.
It was not an easy thing for a company to enlarge in such a way.
“Excuse me, could you ask Mr. Ferrari? I’m really his new assistant.”
The receptionist gave her a look of contempt.
“What are you talking about? Mr. Ferrari never needs an new assistant. The whole company is aware of that. If you want to seduce men, you should at least inform yourself better.”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Serena was stunned. Perhaps it was Cristian’s plan that even if she had really arrived at the company, she would not be able to enter.
“Go away. People like you are not even qualified to be an ordinary worker, and you want to be an assistant.”
The women at the front desk were really contemptuous, as the people around her began to echo and mock her.
“Look how she’s dressed, and she dares to say she’s an assistant. She doesn’t even have a work uniform. She’s wearing rags.”
“There are ridiculous things everyday.”
“If you don’t leave, we’ll call security.”
Serena was taunted so she was blushed and bit her lower lip. Head down, she saw the clothes she was wearing.
It was true. She bought it from a stall at the night market when her salary was not enough. She always tried to save money and lived frugally.
Today, being mocked by so many people, Serena suddenly felt embarrassed.
“Go away. Change before you come back.”
Everyone looked at her sarcastically, and she became more and more embarrassed. She bit her lower lip and did not know what to do until she heard a kind voice coming from not too far away.
“What’s going on?”
Serena turned and met two warm eyes.
“The vice president has arrived.”
“Vice president!”
It was Leonardo. Cristian’s brother.
Serena was surprised to see him.
Leonardo walked over to her and said warmly, “Do you come for Cristian?”
She nodded nervously. Anyone who saw her in that awkward circumstance must laugh at her. Just thinking about it made her stomach cramp.
She looked down and apologized, “I’m sorry. I brought trouble in the company.”
“That’s okay.” Leonardo took her hand and said. “I’ll take you up.”
Seeing that scene, the employees were stunned and felt incredulous.
The mischievous smile of the woman at the front desk disappeared. She thought Serena was just an ordinary person, so she laughed at her. However, she could never imagine that this woman knew Mr. Leonardo. Was she really the president’s new assistant?
In the elevator, Serena still felt uncomfortable. When she lowered her head, she noticed that Leonardo was holding her hand. Her heartbeat was racing and she immediately withdrew her hand and stepped back to keep her distance from him.
Leonardo did not flinch and showed a slight smile on his attractive face. Serena stared at him surreptitiously. His skin was fair and he had delicate eyebrows and not too thick lips. There was always a gentle smile on her face. And he wore a white shirt without any creases. How he looked really made people feel comfortable. As she looked at him, the door of the elevator opened.
When they arrived, Leonardo said to her, “Walk down the corridor on the right. The last office is Cristian’s. I have things to take care of. I can’t accompany you. Can you find it on your own?”
Serena nodded nervously, “Yes, thank you very much.”
“You’re welcome.”
The elevator closed in front of her, and this place was quiet again. She let out a deep sigh, and headed toward the end of the corridor.
She finally saw the office door. When she was about to knock on the door, suddenly the door opened and an object was pushed out of it.
Serena did not have time to get out of the way so she was hit and fell down. Then she was sitting on the floor, close to the object that had hit her.
“How can you do this to me?”
Serena discovered that it was a woman with heavy makeup and ruffled clothes. And after falling to the ground, she quickly got up and pointed at Cristian and yelled at him, insulting him. Cristian, sitting in a wheelchair, had intimidating eyes and his body exuded a strong and imposing energy. With his thin lips slightly open, he said. “Go away.”
