Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 436: Getting rid of him

Back in the office, Serena's head still felt a little heavy after sitting down.

Mainly due to the after-effects of yesterday's fainting spell, she stood up and pressed hard on her temples a couple of times before feeling a little better overall, except that this time, her stomach ache seemed to have flared up more than before, and she felt sore even now.

Was this a personal problem?

Serena sat for a while and then Anna came in.

She walked over with the information in her arms, took a chair and then sat down next to Serena.

-I calculated that according to our contract, whichever party breaks the contract, we have to pay three times the amount of liquidated damages, originally it might not cost that much if it was just one piece, but Mr. Cristian ordered all the drawings from our company, so, what we have to pay, I'm afraid, will exceed our expectations.

Serena was silent for a moment and said directly, "How much will we have to pay?

Anna looked at her, coughed slightly before saying, "According to my rough calculations, after paying the breach of contract, we will probably be left with only a few thousand.

After saying this, Anna also took on a pained expression and rested her chin, "If I had known, we should have thrown him out when he first came. And now we will lose all our money."

Were there thousands left after the payment? Serena curved her lips, "Not bad, I thought it wasn't enough.

Hearing this, Anna's eyes widened in amazement, "What are you saying? After losing so much money you said it was good, I thought....

-Is there anything more rewarding than being able to get rid of it? -Serena smiled weakly and looked at Anna, -Well, go get ready, contact a lawyer and then see how the matter is handled. -Well, then I'll contact the lawyer.

Serena and Anna did not go back to look for the house to buy because they had to pay for a big breach of contract.

In fact, if she wanted, she could go to Matteo for help.

But, according to Serena, her brother had already done a lot for her, and she had quietly agreed before because she felt that since her brother wanted to make amends for his mistakes, the guilt in Matteo's heart would surely be greater if she refused, and instead of giving him a sorrow in his heart, she should always let him make amends to himself.

But this did not mean that she was the type to come forward willingly to ask for something; she feared that she would become an invalid if she received the favor for too long.

So even with the whole Giordano family behind her, Serena had continued to work hard all these years.

She did not like to put the Giordano name on her forehead to look for other job opportunities, she was alone, as in this case, she would not go to Matteo, she just wanted to rely on her own effort and take her time to earn money to buy a house.

If she could not, it would be feasible to go to the bank and get a loan for the down payment first, relying on her current job.

In the afternoon, Serena corrected the sketch she drew yesterday and sent a message to Elsa to come and see the drawing.

Elsa immediately agreed and said she would come in person to the company when she was free.

Shortly after receiving this message, Anna pushed open the door to her office and entered.

-Serena, there is good news.

-What?" Serena looked at her.

-That Isabella's dress was finished early, it has already been delivered to our company and I put it in the showroom on the sixth floor.

Hearing this, Serena's eyebrows lengthened a little, finally something to be happy about.

She curved her lips, "I'll go up and check, you call Isabella and let her know.

-No problem.

After that, Serena left the office alone, ready to go to the sixth floor to see the dress, but halfway there something suddenly occurred to her and she returned to the staff floor.

There was a moment of silence when Serena appeared on the staff floor, and someone was slow to respond in a whisper.

-Miss Serena is here.

One could tell that the group had teased her earlier, but after seeing the information Arianna had checked that day and replaceing out that Serena had won the Lotus Prize title, their thoughts about Serena had changed.

As soon as Arianna saw Serena, her face changed and she stood up.

-You, what are you doing here?

Normally, when she appeared, these people teased her, why were they silent today?

-I come to you, of course." Serena's gaze fell on Arianna's, stopping only for a brief moment before retreating.

Arianna paused for a moment and stared incredulously, "Are you coming to me?

If it had been before, he would have had to torment Serena, but now, after learning who he really was, Arianna discovered that he was actually incapable of saying a single one of those sarcastic words. -Yes, II Serena nodded, with a kind look on her face, and said softly, -Why don't you come out here with me for a minute?

Everyone else looked at Arianna with a suspicious look on their faces, Arianna was a little flattered deep down, but she didn't show it on the surface, and quietly walked away for a while.

Serena turned to leave, Arianna followed her toward the elevator.

"Why are you coming to me?"-Arianna could not help but ask after entering the elevator.

Serena stood there with a bland expression, "Don't you want to see the finished product you designed?

Hearing this, Arianna froze for a moment, reluctantly responding, "Did the finished product come out?

-Yes.

Arianna was immediately excited-it was the first product she had designed since she came to the company, and it was still for the movie superstar, and Isabella was going to wear the dress she designed to the launch party.

The idea made Arianna very excited.

-Of course I want to see it!

-It's in the showroom on the sixth floor, let's go.

Just then the elevator doors opened and the two walked out together.

Serena asked Anna to clean the sixth floor, because a showroom was one of the most indispensable parts of a design company, where previous projects or new products could be displayed to be appreciated by customers at any time.

There was only one dress in the empty showroom, and it was the one designed by Arianna.

When Arianna looked at the one design piece there, she opened her eyes wide and covered her lips, almost screaming.

Jesus!

She was so excited.

For the first time in her life! Arianna had won a few awards before when she was on her own, but she had never felt like this.

Her work was on display.

-Serena turned and smiled slightly, "There will be many more opportunities like this in the future, don't worry!

Hearing the words, Arianna turned her head the other way a little embarrassed, "For me it's the first time, of course I'll be excited, but you, you've won so many awards, you must be indifferent to this!
