Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 43: Be caught in a dilemma

"I didn't go out for important things, really." Serena however felt that she could not tell the truth. She was carrying out Alessandro's order. If she told Cristian, she would be a traitor. That would worsen the

relationship between Cristian and Alessandro.

At the thought of it, Serena bit her lower lip and denied it.

Cristian stared at her, squinting his eyes with a dangerous signal. "I give you one last chance. Tell me the truth."

His voice was cold with deterrent effect. Serena bit her lip harder, "What I said is true. I was just out shopping. Besides, you already deducted a month's salary, didn't you? I didn't dispute at all. Mr. Cristian, you don't need to know what I did."

He paused and his eyes fixed on her dangerously, "Repeat what you said."

Serena stepped back with the cell phone in her hand, telling him, "No!"

Cristian scowled at her, "Where are you going?"

"Away from you!"

The words finished, Serena turned and ran outside.

She quickly ran out of the room to replace that maid. She turned her head as she ran, and gave a sigh of relief when she saw that Cristian did not follow her. She glanced at her cell phone and discovered a new message from Alice.

{I left home. Wait for the good news. A kiss.}

Alice seemed confident about herself, which made Serena worry less.

She stood outside for a long time, waiting for Alice's call.

After a long time, Alice called her, "It's okay. Don't worry."

Serena was excited by the news, and asked in a low voice, "Did you get the button yet?"

"Sure, it's in my hands now. Do you want me to take a picture of it?"

"No need. Just as long as you got it. But...how did you do it? Won't you get caught?"

"Don't worry. Trust me. Be calm and peaceful. Ah, one more thing. Do you know what to do after they tell you they lost the button? Okay, I'm busy, bye honey."

Having finished the words, Alice hung up. Serena stood there and was slightly stunned without moving. Alice was always a trusting person, so she believed the matter was settled.

As she thought about the fact, the maid ran toward her with panting.

"Madam."

Seeing her approach, Serena put the phone away and adjusted her expression, showing calmness.

"What is it?"

The maid was quite nervous and said with sweating, "Ma'am.......forgive me! Giorgia just told me that she lost the button..."

Serena feigned surprise and asked her, "What? She lost the button?"

"She ran into a car on the way back from shopping. Everything was scattered on the ground, but she found everything except the button."

An accident...

Serena's eyelids fluttered noisily. Stepping forward, she asked "Ran into a car? Was she injured?"

The maid was frightened and stammered, "No...she just lost the button. It's not serious."

Serena let out a sigh of relief.

Alice was such a crazy person! How could she cause an accident! What a scare!

"Ma'am, Giorgia is not hurt, but she lost the button. How can you do..." The maid did not forget that maid who was already dismissed. It was heard that she was kicked out because she spilled milk on Mrs. Ferrari. Before she left, she spoke ill of Serena, and everyone could easily deduce why.

So now, according to the maid, this new lady deserved respect.

"It's okay." Serena frowned, thinking for a long time, "It's just a button. If she lost it, I'll pretend I never saw it."

"But...wasn't that button very important to you?"

"Yes, but her safety is also very important. It's not like I can punish you for a button. It's okay if you don't replace it anymore. Just don't talk about it, or else...I'll recall it."

Maidrica nodded, "Don't worry, ma'am. I won't talk about it, and I'll tell Giorgia as well. Ma'am, it's really nice that you don't blame us. Thank you very much!"

"Then I'll leave."

The next day.

Serena was invited by Alessandro to the study early in the morning.

"How did it go yesterday?"

Serena replied, "They declined the conversation when they learned that I am from the Ferrari group."

Hearing this, Alessandro frowned, "What is he doing? This Enrico doesn't want to cooperate with the Ferrari group anymore?"

Serena did not answer him. Alessandro pondered for a while, "It must be Cristian who wanted to stop collaborating and the Romano group is now unhappy. Aurora, prepare a gift for Enrico and tell him that Cristian does not decide everything in the Ferrari group."

Hearing this, Serena bit her lip without saying anything.

"Do you hear me or not?"

Alessandro's tone suddenly became much more grim, which startled Serena who reacted drastically and nodded.

"Yes, Alessandro."

Because of her previous experience, Serena did not dare to go out without permission today. She feared that this time she would be deducted a month's salary again, and she would become really poor. Therefore she went to the office to ask Cristian for permission.

She did not expect that he would refuse her immediately, without even raising his head.

"No."

Serena did not understand why, "No? Why?"

Cristian ignored her, and his gaze was falling on the documents. Obviously he did not intend to answer her question.

Serena took two steps forward and bit her lower lip, "Mr. Cristian, I really have to go out for something very important."

"I already told you. No."

"What is the reason?"

"Get out!"

"Cristian Ferrari!"

He became angry, put down the documents, and beat his palm against the desk, causing a loud noise.

The sound was fairly clear in the silent office, and it stopped Serena's words. They looked each other in the face. Finally, Serena had to give up and left the office.

After leaving the office, Serena was quite furious. Cristian and Alessandro! It was hard to satisfy their requirements!

But now what could she do? Serena was distressed as hell. Obey Alessandro's order to prepare a gift for Enrico? But she did not have enough savings to buy something decent.

If she did not obey, Alessandro would scold her this evening.

At the thought of this, poor Serena was caught in the dilemma.

After some thoughts, Serena got up again to go to Cristian's office.

When she just knocked on the door, Cristian's furious shouting came from inside.

"Go away!"

Failed again.

No way. She was left with no other solution. She could only try her luck in the Romano group after finishing the work.

Having made the decision, Serena no longer went to disturb Cristian.

She finally got off work, settled things and left the company quickly. She took the bus to the Romano Group and did all this making full use of every minute.

"Sir, Miss Serena left as soon as it was time to get off work."
