Chapter 84: The Delivery
Was he an accomplice of Cristian’s?
No, how could he help him? Although Cristian’s attitude toward her was not bad, it was definitely not good.
“After all, you didn’t know Cristian before, and it needs to take a long time to get close.”
Serena shook her head, “Big brother, I’m not crying because of him. You shouldn’t speak for him.”
Hearing this, Leonardo was stunned and smiled, “I thought you were still in contradiction.”
Serena did not speak and sipped the soup with her downcast eyes.
She bowed her head, and her falling hair looked very smooth. Leonardo raised his hand and to stroke her head, but when he was about to touch her, Leonardo’s hand stopped.
He looked at Serena and then at his palm and finally pulled his hand back.
At that moment, Leonardo’s cell phone suddenly rang, and he pulled it out, “Eat slowly. I will go out to answer the phone.”
“Okay.”
After Leonardo went out, Serena felt much more comfortable.
Although Leonardo was very good to her, Serena was not familiar with him and felt uncomfortable.
Now that he had come out, she turned around and ate in silence.
After about a minute, Leonardo came in, “There is urgent work at the company and I have to go back. After you finish eating, there will be a servant to clean everything. I will send the driver to pick you up later.”
Serena’s gaze changed when she heard about the urgent work, “I… I haven’t asked the company for permission yet, I…”
“You got sick so, Cristian won’t care about it. You just have a rest.”
After Leonardo left, Serena realized that something was wrong.
Now she was someone’s sister-in-law, Cristian’s wife. How could she stay at Leonardo’s house?
If Cristian found out, he would blame her.
Besides, she had to avoid being suspicious, otherwise other people would also be bad about Leonardo.
When she thought about it, Serena quickly finished eating and then got up.
The servant had just entered.
“Miss Gallo, have you finished eating?”
Serena’s face blushed, “Well, thank you for your hospitality, but I have something urgent today. I have to get back.”
“Miss Gallo, don’t worry, the driver is coming to pick you up.”
Hearing this, Serena paused, “Driver?”
“Yes, our dedicated driver for Mr. Ferrari has to take him to the company first and then come back to pick you up.”
Serena paused, “No, I don’t want to disturb. I can go back by myself. Where is the nearest bus stop?”
The servant seemed embarrassed by this question, “Miss Gallo, don’t you need a private car?”
Serena shook her head, “No, it is more convenient for me to go back by bus. Please tell me where the station is.”
Finally, seeing Serena’s insistence, the servant had to take her personally to the bus station, “It is here, Miss Gallo.”
“Thank you.” Smiled Serena
The servant was a little flattered and shook her head, “Miss Gallo, don’t be so complimentary. This is the first time Mr. Ferrari has brought a girl home. Miss Gallo… take this opportunity. I’m leaving. ”
The servant left without waiting for Serena to react.
Serena was surprised, she was just still assimilating the meaning of the servant’s words.
She was still embarrassed for half a day.
Effectively, had this servant misunderstood her relationship with Leonardo?

No one had expected the sudden emergency meeting, and during the meeting Cristian publicly criticized vice president Ferrari. The old shareholders seemed confused and did not know what had happened.
Even Leonardo was puzzled at first. Later, Cristian was more and more demanding, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife. Leonardo suddenly remembered the woman he had dined with in his private villa and felt a slight arousal.
Once the meeting was over, Leonardo stepped forward.
“Cristian, why are you so angry today?”
Cristian sneered, “A good deed from the vice president, clearly you are not aware of the big miss in the contract.”
Cristian did not have a reason, but today he had attacked him, because the contract was really badly written.
“It’s my fault. I apologize.”
“However, you are still too angry today.”
Cristian pierced him with his gaze, “If you feel you have done something wrong, don’t others have the right to get angry?”
“They do. I’m just trying to understand why you are so angry.” Leonardo smiled slightly and took two steps forward, “When I went to the hospital this morning, I met my sister-in-law.”
Hearing this, the blue veins on Cristian’s forehead grew larger.
Was Leonardo pretending with him? What was he thinking?
“She fainted, so I took her home.”
As soon as he stopped talking, Leonardo felt the chill of Cristian’s body spreading through the room. Leonardo stopped and a small, unfamiliar light shone in the depths of his warm eyes.
Luca, for his part, noticed that Cristian’s anger was out of control, and he quickly stepped forward and said, “Vice President Ferrari, haven’t you gone a little too far? Serena Gallo had fainted and you did not take her back to the hospital, but your home. What do you think about that? ”
He asked politely.
Leonardo smiled slightly, “She ran out of the hospital. There must be people in the hospital she didn’t want to see, or something she wanted to run away from, or she didn’t like the hospital. If I brought her back, wouldn’t that be harmful to her? Luca Russo, one should think twice before doing things. ”
“Oh, but you thought it through, did it occur to you that she is my woman?”
“What does Cristian mean? Are you forcing me to ignore my most helpless relatives?”
“What did you say?” Luca got a little angry: “If you get sick, you have to go to the hospital. If you don’t like the hospital, you don’t go there?
“Also, as vice president, how could you think of not calling us when you found Ms. Gallo who was unconscious?”
“You’re really too angry today, Cristian. I just thought it was uncomfortable for your legs, so I didn’t call you. You don’t blame me, do you?”
Cristian sneered, “What do you mean?”
“I came to the company to tell you that you will pick her up after work.”
“Does she stay where she likes to stay? That kind of woman deserves my attention too?”
Cristian began to act arrogantly again.
Lonardo frowned slightly; his younger brother was lying.
“The reason I don’t want you to go near her is because that’s a vain woman. Her name is Serena Gallo, and in order not to get in trouble, I didn’t say I care about her and I’m going to get her.”
“Cristian?”
“If you like her that much, you can ask our father if you will pick her up.”
“…”
Serena had just rushed into the company and found out where the two of them were. When she entered the meeting room, she listened to their entire conversation.
Standing in the doorway, she saw Cristian inside.
The expression on his face was icy and so were his eyes. Those words pierced her heart like a sharp thorn.
