Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 523: Teasing each other

Serena carried the fruit into the house and bumped into Anna just as she was changing her shoes. -Where have you been so late?

Serena thought for a moment and shook the bag in her hand, -I just went out to buy some fruit.

Hearing this, Anna looked at the clock on the wall. -You went out about an hour ago, didn't you?

Does it take that long to buy fruit?

There was something else in Anna's words, and she looked at Serena with a look that only girls understood between them.

Serena pretended not to understand what she was saying, put the fruit in the kitchen and replied, -Yes, I ate too much at dinner, so I took a walk down the street. I haven't been out in a while, but there is a girl in this house who is afraid to even go out," she said.

The smile on Anna's lips suddenly froze.

-Right? Serena blinked and laughed with her.

However, Anna could not stop laughing and huffed, "Will you stop teasing me? You're again talking about things that happened a long time ago.

-Okay.

Anna sat on the sofa, pouting and hugging the pillows.

-There's a reason I'm afraid to go downstairs, Matteo is too good for me to go near him.

Serena took a seat next to her, -Yes, that's what you think.

Serena also took a pillow to hug her. Now it was hard for her to think about what the nurse had told her.

-I went to see Cristian a little while ago. But he's already out of the hospital.

"Out? "Well...Anna suddenly felt a little confused, -So why did you go to the hospital to see him? Are you stupid?

"I didn't know until I went to the hospital."

Even though Serena went to the hospital to take care of Cristian, she didn't go all the time, wasn't it normal that she didn't know Cristian was out of the hospital?

Anna, -Well, it seems I didn't tell you earlier. Cristian is a bad person, you took care of him for a long time before, but now he leaves the hospital without even telling you. Serena said nothing.

Seeing that Serena said nothing, Anna could not help but ask again, "He didn't even send you a message, did he?

Serena, who had been silent for a long time, finally looked at her before smiling slightly, "I haven't visited him in the hospital in the last week, so it's normal that he won't tell me when he will be discharged. -Well, it's getting late, it's better to go to bed early," with that Serena got up and headed for her room, it was obvious she did not want to continue this conversation.

Anna looked back at her and muttered to herself, -This is not normal at all, if she cared so much about you, why didn't she inform you? She made you take a trip for nothing.

The room was silent and Anna whispered these words, so Serena heard them all.

Maybe Cristian didn't care so much about her.

Days continued to pass, and soon two or three more days passed, as if Cristian had really disappeared from her life.

But his name was still on Serena's client list.

Since Cristian had never made a concrete request for an order until now, and since he had previously asked Serena to do it herself, there was no way for Serena to take the next step until now. Cristian also considered himself her customer, and Serena thought it was only fair that she contact him.

But thinking about what had happened in the last few days, Serena thought that perhaps Cristian had now become displeased with her.

Before, Cristian had been willing to do an assignment for her company because of their personal friendship, but now what?

Was Serena about to give this order to someone else?

Serena thought about it and remembered the last time Arianna ruined Isabella's order.

Serena always wanted to give Arianna a chance to make amends, so what if she gave her that chance?

Arianna felt as if she had won the first prize in the Christmas lottery when she heard the news.

She had been excited for a long time and finally tugged on Serena's sleeve to confirm it, -Will you really give me this chance?

Serena nodded, -Yes, but you will have to work for yourself, okay?

-I'm glad you want to give me this opportunity, but isn't it very appropriate to do so knowing what's going on between you and Mr. Cristian? So although I would like to accept the request, Cristian would not necessarily say yes. So, Serena, I think you'd better take care of this request yourself.

Serena remembered when she had taken Arianna to the introduction party.

She knew everything that had happened at the launch, so it was natural that she did not want to accept the order.

-I...

-But, if you really don't have the time and energy to make this request, then I can do it for you, but I might not do it well. I was very excited that you gave me Isabella's order earlier, and you also took me to the launch. So to thank you, I am willing to do this order for you!

Serena said, "You don't have to think like that, if you successfully complete this order, I will give you a bonus.

-I know. I happen to need this bonus a lot, so I am willing to try it. However, if I cannot complete this order by then, I will return this task to you.

Serena appreciated this attitude of Arianna.

She looked at Arianna and smiled, unable to resist speaking.

-You have changed, for the better.

At first, Arianna's attitude was pleasant enough, but as soon as Serena complimented her, Arianna's temper immediately turned squeaky.

-What are you talking about? Why are you flattering me? It's not that I accepted this request for you, I just wanted to get the bonus, you didn't think I was helping you, did you?

Serena, -I didn't say that.

Arianna, -I'm not helping you, absolutely not!

With that, Arianna turned and walked away.

Leaving Serena and Anna staring at each other.

The two girls then burst out laughing.

-This Arianna is so funny, she can change her mood so quickly when in a second she was obviously so serious.

Why do I get the impression that she gets angry every time I pay her a compliment," Anna said with a laugh.

Serena also had a slight smile on her face as she nodded and commented, "It looks like it, but girls like that are cute too.

-I'm funnier than she is. Serena, I must emphasize to you that I am the only best friend you have. -Serena raised an eyebrow, "Don't you want to be my sister-in-law? Are you content to be my friend? -Damn it, you're teasing me again, I'm not talking to you!
