Chapter 27: I’m just his assistant
If any illusions existed, they were all belied by Cristian’s words.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Serena’s face was pale and her fingers tightened silently.
“No… I didn’t think so.”
“You didn’t think so? And to whom do you want to show your face of joy? Serena, I warn you that you are only my assistant when we’re outside.”
Serena bit her lower lip and did not speak.
“I helped you so as not to embarrass the Ferrari family, okay?”
Cristian, who treated her with affection before, became indifferent and cruel as always.
That was why… suddenly he changed his temperament and bought the mall for her. He only cared about the Ferrari family.
Yet she… was happy about it.
The illusion was now revealed by Cristian and Serena felt only shameful.
Luca, who had been following the two of them, did not believe what Cristian said, because he knew that Cristian was never a person who cared about the family’s reputation. Otherwise, he would not acted his way.
However, his words were too cruel for a young woman. Obviously Serena’s mood dropped a lot, even the pace of her steps slowed down.
Luca asked her, “Miss Serena, can you let me do it?”
Serena shook her head and refused, “No, I’ll do it. ”
She thought of something and handed the contract to Cristian.
Cristian scowled mockingly, “Are you irritating me?”
Serena was puzzled, “What?”
Facing his mocking eyes, Serena understood what he was saying and tried to control her emotion. Her watery eyes returned to their original joyless appearance and she spoke lightly, “I know you were pretending, but I thank you anyway. The performance is over and I’ll return your the contract.”
She did not think Cristian would buy the whole mall for her, even if it were true, she still would not accept it.
He considered her a vain person, and if she accepted them at that moment, her image would have been fixed for life.
“I will not take back anything I gave away.”
Serena paused and answered decisively, “I will not take anything that does not belong to me.”
Cristian did not expect her to answer that way and looked at her sarcastically, “Really?”
“I know I am a tricky woman for you. Since I am such a person, you should not give me such things. Otherwise, do you let me get what I want?”
“Woman, is your goal so small?”
Serena said furiously, “Of course not. I want so much more!”
Her actions seemed more real when she retorted Cristian. Compared to those who desired money but pretended not to be interested in it, what she did was much more interesting.
“Miss Serena, you have to keep it. Mr. Cristian does not take back anything he gave away.”
Seeing that the situation was getting complicated, Luca explained that to Serena.
Serena was angry, and did not want others to consider her such a kind of woman. She clenched her fists and stood to say something.
“Do you think I gave it to you for free? The dress is worth 300, 000 euros. Don’t you think you should return it?”
Serena was surprised. What did he mean?
They had already reached the car by the time she intended to continue asking, but she had to get into the car first.
After getting into the car, her lips moved but Cristian closed his eyes.
“Miss Serena, don’t disturb him before we arrive.” Luca gently warned her.
Serena was speechless. How strange!
Remaining without solutions, that contract seemed extremely heavy. Her gaze fell on the man’s face and she noticed that he had dark circles under his eyes.
Did he not rest well?
Serena swallowed all his words and moved to another side with the contract in her hand.
Sitting in the car for a while, she was sleepy.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, the car suddenly stopped.
Serena opened her eyes.
“Miss Serena, please.”
Luca got out of the car and opened the door for Serena.
Serena looked at him in amazement and wanted to take a look at Cristian.
“Miss Serena, please get out of the car. There is not much time. We only have half an hour to go to the dinner.”
Serena nodded and got out of the car.
Luca took her to a store.
“Oh, long time no see.” A beautiful, modern woman approached them, and looked behind Luca, “Where is Cristian?”
“He is resting, Emma. She is your assignment today.”
Luca pushed Serena toward Emma.
Serena was slightly confused, “What do we do?”
Emma narrowed her eyes and looked at Serena, “Is she Cristian’s girlfriend? Since when did…”
“Emma, we are going to a dinner in half an hour. She is going as an assistant. Please be quick.”
“Alright, come with me.”
Serena did not dare to be late and followed her. Luca looked at his watch and prayed that Emma could be fast enough.
After closing the door, Serena discovered that inside was another world. There was a huge and shiny closet.
“Tie your hair, change your clothes and shoes.”
Hearing this, Serena was surprised and said, “But I just wore this dress.”
Emma looked at her for a moment, smiling, “This skirt fits you very well, but it doesn’t suit your identity tonight. An assistant should look more agile.”
Serena understood only now.
“I understand.” And then she went to a corner to change.
When Emma looked at her, her face reddened and she stood still.
What?
Where would Cristian have found such an interesting woman?
So shy that she even blushed while changing clothes?
Emma prepared and handed her a white suit.
“Put this on.”
“Okay.” Serena took the clothes and turned to change.
Emma watched her for a moment and suddenly asked, “Are you Cristian’s girlfriend?”
Serena paused for a moment and shook her head.
“No? So he is courting you?”
Serena frowned and wanted to explain their relationship.
“Well, you don’t need to explain. I understand. This is the first time Cristian brought a woman here.”
“Emma, I’m just his assistant.”
