Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

Where did you go? Serena could not say a single complete word, “I…”

No, even though Cristian knew she went out, perhaps he had not found out what she did, and she could not be too agitated.

Thinking of this, Serena gave a deep sigh to keep calm, and replied lightly, “I went shopping.”

“Leaving company during working hours to go shopping. What is the consequence?”

Serena’s mouth moved as if she wanted to say something.

Luca glanced at her and explained. “One of the rules of the group is to prohibit leaving work without permission. Assistant Serena, you left the company without getting Mr. Cristian’s permission. You lost your one month’s salary.”

The poor woman was wide-eyed when she heard the news.

“One month’s salary?” But only a few days passed since she started working in the company.

It meant that she would be without salary for a long time, right?

“Yes, I’m sorry but it’s the rule of our company.”

Serena cast a glance at Cristian, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know… can I…”

“No.” He replied firmly and indifferently with no intention of offering her any opportunity.

All right, in fact it was her mistake to leave the job without telling anyone. This was the company’s rule to treat all employees equally, so what could she complain about?

Becoming convinced, Serena lowered her head to look at her feet and stopped justifying herself.

In the closed, silent space, both breaths could be heard. Cristian was slightly surprised that Serena did not apologize more, but he quickly understood why.

Would that vain woman give a damn about a single month’s salary?

How ironic!

There will be opportunities for her to tell the truth, even if she did not say it at that moment.

Leaving the elevator, Serena said goodbye to the two of them and quickly went to find Alice who was already waiting for her in the car.

She opened the door and got into the car. As she fastened her seat belt, she heard Alice ask her a question.

“Is this your husband’s car?”

Hearing this, Serena raised her head. She saw Cristian’s car coming out of the parking lot and nodded, “Yes, but he’s not my husband.”

“He’s not your husband? You’re already married, aren’t you?”

“You know we have an agreement that lasts six months. It is purely a contract marriage.”

Listening to what she said, Alice held her face, seeming to think of something, “Well, contract marriage is fine too, but I heard that this Cristian Ferrari is… impotent.”

Serena stopped and looked at Alice.

“What? You understand what I’m saying, right?”

Serena lost her intention to answer.

Alice approached her curiously, “From your wedding day to now, have you ever have sex?”

Serena’s face turned as red as a tomato. She bit his lower lip and said, “How is it possible…?”

“I knew it! The rumor is true.”

“Alice, don’t talk nonsense. I don’t think it’s true.”

“How nonsense? There is no smoke without fire. You are already married. If he has sexual function, will he make you stay so far?”

“There is a reason.” Serena lowered her gaze so that the mood was hidden in the bottom of her eyes and no one could clearly see it. “He doesn’t like me. It’s normal that he doesn’t want to touch me. That doesn’t mean he’s impotent.”

“Serena, what are you doing? Why do you justify for him?” Alice said resignedly. “Are you in love with him?”

Serena was immediately stunned when she heard the words, “Impossible!”

There was no way she could fall in love with that man who was so vicious and insulted her everyday as long as he got a chance.

“Why are you defending him? It is good for you if he’s impotent, isn’t it? You will no longer have the danger that he will force you to sleep with him. Ah, another thing, you asked me about that button. I have news.”

“So soon?” Serena was surprised.

Alice smiled proudly, “Don’t underestimate the Giordano family. It’s not at all difficult to get this little information.”

“What news do you have?”

“Actually, this button is not very special. At first my brother scolded me when I asked him to look for a button, because he thought it was not possible to look for someone using only a button. But after he saw it, he realized that it is made of good material and ordinary clothes don’t use it.”

Alice paused and watched Serena with a mysterious smile. Then she lowered her gaze to Serena’s belly.

“Serena, this baby has a rich father.”

Serena was stunned.

“That’s all I know for now. If you want to know more… my brother told me you have to give him the button. The picture is just a picture anyway. He needs to see the button himself to give you more details. Do you have it with you?”

Serena shook her head.

That button… remained under Cristian’s bed.

“But no? You don’t keep it with you since it is so important?”

“I just found it last night. I’ll give it to you tomorrow.”

“Okay, remember to bring it. When I find the father of the baby, we will abandon Cristian without tolerance!”

“Actually, Cristian is not a bad man, you…” Serena paused without continuing.

“I know, but he is not good either. He knows that you are not Aurora, that you have an ex-husband, and that you are pregnant. He is a dangerous person for you, you know?”

Serena nodded, “Yes.”

“Take care of yourself and the baby. I will keep looking for news for you. If I have anything new, I will tell you right away.”

“Thank you very much, Alice.”

Serena bit her lip slightly, “How fortunate to know you.”

“Stop it. Don’t say that!” said Alice.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Serena got close to her and gave her a big hug.

“All right, then I’ll drive you home.”

“Okay.”

After they arrived, Serena said goodbye to Alice and got out of the car. She entered the house and walked straight up the stairs.

On her way to the bedroom, she thought about what Alice told her, and walked distractedly. She did not see that the maid was cleaning until she reached the door of bedroom. At that moment the maid already finished her work and went by her.

Serena paid no attention to it, entered the room and discovered that Cristian had not yet returned. So she quickly put down her bag and went down beside the bed.

She was startled as if her soul was being taken away.

The button that was under the bed in the morning disappeared.

Suddenly she remembered the maid who had just left when she came in. The maid came here to clean. Did she take it?

Nearby were two maids chatting.

“I found this button in Mr. Cristian’s room. Go ask him if it’s his.”
