Virginity in second marriages

Chapter 136: Impatience

Serena followed Cristian into the conference room.

Leonardo was also among them. When his eyes met Serena's, he flashed her a gentle smile. Although

Serena was in a bad mood, she just couldn't resist his gentle gaze as calm as a spring breeze. Her

resentment toward Cristian became minor and she smiled at him too.

These small interactions naturally were noticed by Cristian.

At this point, his breath became more icy!

Matteo Giordano and Chiara Gatti had already arrived. And Leonardo, the vice president, went to greet

them personally. So when Serena saw Leonardo, she could see the Matteo and Chiara sitting next to

him.

Just like the day before, Matteo still sat there, with a cold look, as if he could not see anyone in her

eyes.

He read the documents in front of him. When Serena looked at him, he seemed to be aware of what

had happened. He looked up and saw Serena, nodding weakly.

Serena nodded as well, and then nodded to Clare.

The frost emanating from Cristian's body now reflected her hostility.

Oh, she was such a woman loved by everyone.

People greeted her wherever she went, and she must have been so proud.

After they sat down, Cristian's thin fingertips tapped on the table, "Coffee."

Serena nodded, "I'll go make it."

She immediately went out, prepared the coffee. There was no one to help her throughout the

conference room. Serena was struggling a lot.

When she entered the meeting room with a large tray of cups of coffee, the meeting had already

started. Someone in the meeting room was giving a speech. Serena could not make any noise and

gently placed each cup of coffee in front of the directors, shareholders and executives.

Seeing how hard she was struggling, Leonardo supported her as she approached and Serena looked

at him gratefully. Then she walked over and brought a cup of coffee to Matteo.

Matteo looked at her fair hands with thin fingers that looked like they were made of jade.

He remembered his mother. When he was very young, his mother stood in front of him reading each

book to him, page by page, and telling him various stories in a soft voice and finally stroking his head.

"Matteo, if you have a chance to find your sister, you must treat her well."

It could be said that after his mother's death, Matteo continued to work hard in order to achieve this

goal.

In two years, he managed to find his much-loved sister from whom he had been separated since birth,

but...he still felt empty and always felt that he had not yet fulfilled his mother's expectations.

At that moment, Serena's presence widened that emptiness in his heart even more.

As Serena's figure overlapped more and more with the one in his memories, this one seemed to trap

him, almost intentionally, within an illusion.

She was the sister he was looking for.

It seemed that at the end of this encounter, Chiara was to investigate Serena's life experiences.

Chiara looked at Serena in amazement. She had not expected that she would do it all by herself.

Looking at Cristian who was sitting at the head of the table, Chiara thought of the scene in the

restaurant the day before.

Then she thought: this was really a ruthless man!

A loud noise was heard.

When Serena came in with coffee for the second time, Leonardo couldn't take it anymore. When he

made to get up and help her, Matteo suddenly looked at Chiara and gave her a hint.

Chiara had worked alongside Matteo for many years, and she soon understood. She stood up in front

of Leonardo to help Serena hold the coffee, and whispered, "I will help you."

Serena stared at her without understanding, "Thank you, thank you."

After that, Chiara and Serena distributed coffee to everyone. When they stood in front of Cristian, "The

secretary of the group Giordano is so good at understanding others." sneered Cristian.

The sudden sound interrupted the ongoing meeting.

Everyone's faces were surprised and no one realized what was happening. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Matteo's eyes met Cristian's icy ones. His voice was stiff: "Is there a lack of staff in your company? This

makes me wonder if your company will be able to keep up with the Group's progress after the

cooperation. "

Cristian huffed coldly, "Being the first company in North City, we have always valued skill and not

quantity."

Serena was listening, frowning slightly.

Again, Cristian was a person who always showed no mercy even though he wanted to cooperate with

the Giordano group. Would he be able to stifle his temperament?

Serena did not know what was going on. She had already been humiliated by Cristian in this way, but

nevertheless she was only thinking about the Ferrari group.

Was it because she was dealing with the situations around her?

Everyone slowly became aware of what had happened in this meeting.

Would Matteo and Chiara confront each other in the end? For what then?

"Really? Then I hope your company will let me think about the decision."

The meeting ended early, but what was truly surprising was the achievement of cooperation. Neither

Cristian nor Matteo cast dirty looks at each other because of that exchange of jokes. After signing the

contract, both parties shook hands.

When the meeting ended, Serena listened to some words from people of high-ranking.

"Mr. Giordano and Mr. Ferrari are the generation that will overtake us. They are still able to sign the

contract despite the sudden squabble. I thought this project would end badly."

"Impossible. Although Mr. Ferrari has a disability, his mind is clear. He knows that these opportunities

for cooperation should be taken. Looking at Mr. Giordano's appearance, you can definitely see that he

is a young man who is doing things straightforwardly. Fortunately, you can see the difference. "

When Matteo and Chiara left the meeting room, Chiara could not help but say, "Mr. Giordano, you

should have defended for Ms. Gallo."

Hearing this, Matteo frowned slightly.

Chiara continued, "The two of them should be at odds. President Giordano was very calm, but today

as..."

However, before Chiara could finish speaking, she heard Matteo ordering her, "Chiara Gatti, check the

information on Serena Gallo, all the information."

Chiara was stunned.

"Quick." said Matteo again.

Chiara responded, "Yes, I know."

She was very puzzled: for the first time Matteo showed interest in a woman. Could it be that he had

fallen in love with Serena? But...What was so special about Serena? She was pretty, elegant and

slender, especially her cool eyes gave the impression to others of her nobility of spirit.

But even so, she should not have made President Giordano so awkward.

What did it all mean?

Seeing that everyone had left, Serena was also ready to leave, but Luca joined her and said, "Serena

Gallo, Mr. Ferrari would like you to stay here and clean all the cups."

Hearing this, Serene had no choice but cleaned the coffee cups on the table.

Leonardo left the seat late and seeing that she was busy. He put down his pen and walked over to help

her.

"Why doesn't Cristian ask someone to help you?"

"Um... "Serena took two steps back, "Vice President Ferrari."

She remembered Cristian's words. She had to keep her distance from Leonardo.
