Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 573: The Secret of the Hall

-Mr. Cristian," Anna's lips twitched to greet the man nervously.

Cristian's icy gaze scattered around and he did not see Serena, and he asked in a cold voice, "Where is she?

Of course, Anna had not forgotten the instructions Serena had given her a moment before, but she still felt a little weak in front of that powerful man, so her eyes unconsciously looked in the direction of the living room.

Then she said only in a whisper, "Serena said you should have waited for her downstairs five minutes ago, and that she would be down to pick you up in five minutes.

-Hearing this, Cristian could not help but squint and said, "I've already given her so much time and she still wants to negotiate with me?

Seeing his smile, Anna could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

This man was too handsome, luckily she already liked Matteo!

-Mr. Cristian, Serena will surely be down if she said she would be down in five minutes, so for once she can trust you.

The woman did not seem to take what he had just said to heart.

Cristian paused for a few moments, then his gaze shifted and settled on the living room door.

Anna's face paled and the nerves in her body instantly collapsed.

"Where do your eyes look, do you want to enter the living room?"

As she thought about it, Cristian's legs moved and he was actually walking in the direction of the living room.

-Mr. Cristian!" Anna was so nervous that her face paled, her whole body rose from the chair, and a second later she stepped forward to stop Cristian's walk.

-What do you want?

Cristian looked at Anna, who was standing in front of him, and his eyebrows wrinkled with unhappiness.

-Go away!

-No, no!" Anna stammered slightly and opened her hands to stop in front of him. He had promised Serena to hide it for her, if Cristian were to abruptly enter the room at this time, then how could he explain to Serena?

Cristian's brows furrowed further as he looked at Anna who had stopped in front of him, his gaze became inquisitive.

"Why was this woman so nervous in her expression and eyes, as if she feared I would break into the room? Is there something secret?" At this thought, Cristian's face became very gloomy as he scolded in a cold voice, -I'm saying this for the last time, go away!

Such a chilling look simply made Anna's legs tremble, but she had promised Serena, so she continued to hold on and spoke: -Mr. Cristian, Serena asked me to convey just that, it's only five minutes, she will surely be down in time.

-Five minutes?" Cristian grimaced, -Then I will go into the hall and wait for her for five minutes.

Cristian saw that Anna always stopped in front of him, she really had no patience left, her gaze was as hard as a knife, -Are you going or not?

Anna swallowed, her pupils shivered.

Just then, the living room door opened and Serena came out with a wicked expression.

-I just ask you to wait five minutes, do you have to make trouble for Anna?

She closed the living room door and looked up to stare coldly at Cristian.

Her movements were naturally noticed by Cristian, who took a step forward, but Serena suddenly stumbled and almost fell in front of him.

Cristian supported her with his hands and frowned, "What's wrong?

Serena's voice was weak as she said, "A little dizzy.

-Are you tired?

Serena nodded and suddenly remembered something and pushed Cristian away forcefully, "I'm just dizzy and wanted to lie down inside for a while, why did you make me come and open the door for you? After hearing her say that she was physically ill, the only shred of suspicion left in Cristian's heart disappeared.

All that surfaced before his eyes was concern, and after being pushed away he went straight to grab Serena's wrist, wrapping her in his arms, his tone serious but more careful.

-Why didn't you call me if you weren't feeling well?

-Serena was about to push him away, but after thinking that the man had managed to remove her suspicions and focus so much on her physical state, she did not push him again, her body still leaning somewhat submissively in his arms.

-This sounded a little unpleasant to Cristian, and a second later he grabbed her directly in a hug.

Anna could not help but cry out in astonishment at the sight, then unconsciously covered her mouth and withdrew to the side.

-Cristian gave Serena a helpless look, then picked her up and headed for the exit, leaving a sentence behind as he said, "I'll take her first.

Anna froze for a while before realizing that the words were directed at her, and gave an "okay" in response, after which she saw Serena gesture toward her, to which Anna immediately replied with a covert mouth, "don't worry."

Serena was led out of the office by Cristian, and only when she reached the front of the elevator did she express her resistance.

-Let me go, I can walk by myself.

She had not resisted until now because she wanted to throw Cristian out of the way. She had not expected to meet Manuel here.

Cristian frowned and paid no attention to her words; his hands still held her tightly.

-Cristian,II Serena pushed against his chest, -Put me down quickly, this will show someone.

Cristian lowered his gaze, his eyes fixed deeply into hers. -Not that I care.

-You don't care, I do.

This was his company, if his employees saw this, how would he deal with them in the future? And she didn't want to make others believe that there was something between her and Cristian. Thinking about this, Serena tried harder.

Feeling her struggle in his arms, Cristian frowned in disgust, -You are so sick, you collapsed from exhaustion after twenty minutes of work, and you still want to be stubborn with me? She was not so weak, it was just a lie to him.

Serena hummed silently in her mind, remembering the exciting image she had just had in the living room.

At that moment, after leading Manuel into the living room, she also closed the door behind her. When she turned around at that moment, she saw Manuel looking at her with a puzzled look. -Mom, what are you doing?

Serena withdrew her hand a little shyly, then smiled, -Manuel, I want to ask you a favor, can you do it for me?

Manuel blinked with those innocent, harmless eyes like glass beads and asked in a pure voice, "What do you want to tell me?"
