Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 626: It was not her only option

At the thought of this, Anna covered her cheeks and could not stop the tears that spilled from the cracks in her hands.

Finally, Matthew took her home and warned her that if she did it again, he would replace a way to take her away from Serena without mercy.

Anna may have thought he did not like her, but she did not expect him to hate her so much. Had she acted too proactively? Had she left the impression of a light woman?

But...she had never lent herself to kissing any other man but him.

Should she really give up? But she didn't want to resign, no!

***

Serena was exhausted at work, because she had not slept well the night before. So she was very sleepy at work despite drinking two full cups of coffee.

Just when she wanted to give in to the impulse to go to the break room for a two-hour nap, Arianna pushed open the door and came in, saying, "Serena, there is someone from the Clozul company who wants to talk to you about work.

Normally, Anna would take care of it, but today she had taken the day off....

Serena put the pen in her hand and nodded. She said, -Okay. First, he is brought to the reception room. I'll be there in two minutes.

-Okay.

Arianna was a good assistant, usually not only taking care of the design, but also sometimes taking care of Anna's work. Gradually, Serena changed her opinion of her, considering that she was a rather observant designer.

Serena tidied up a bit before getting up and heading for the reception room.

When she reached the door, Serena saw the person in the room and her footsteps stopped.

It was Leonardo again.

Seeing him reminded Serena of what she had said in the bakery yesterday: -Even if I'm going to approach you, it's because I like you.

-Now the current Leonardo is no longer your older brother, so I am able to compete with Cristian to win you over. Five years ago I had no chance, but now I want to fight for myself. I will not stop until you are with Cristian.

-Serena?

Just as she was thinking, the man's soft voice resounded in the room, and Serena regained consciousness and saw that Leonardo had stood up and was smiling with a very sweet look on his face. While Arianna, who was standing not far from him, looked puzzled.

Of course, Serena knew her doubts. With a faint smile, she stepped forward and entered.

-Arianna, go ahead and get to work.

-Ok," Arianna cast a glance at Leonardo before turning and walking out.

Only Serena and Leonardo were left. Serena sat across from him and asked, -What work do you want to discuss with me?

-I can't see you if it's not about work? -Leonardo looked at her, his black eyes alarmingly bright.

Serena was surprised, "You.

-Did I go too far in taking advantage of my position for personal gain? -Leonardo smiled softly again, "There is nothing to discuss at work because I trust your abilities. -So, you didn't come here for the job today? -Serena looked up, her eyebrows furrowed.

-Since you're not in a good state, shall I take you to relax?

Serena didn't even think about it and dismissed it out of hand.

-No need, if you have no problems to solve, please don't stop here.

After saying this, Serena quickly got up and prepared to leave. She did not want to please Leonardo, she even wanted him to get angry and cancel the contract.

As soon as Serena got up, Leonardo followed her and quickly caught up with her.

-Do you hate me that much? Can't you stay even two minutes?

Serena's footsteps paused for a while before she raised her eyebrows and reminded him, -Mr. Leonardo, it is now working hours, you are asking me, a boss, to talk to you about personal matters in the reception room, how can I be the example in the company?

As if he found the weaknesses in her words, Leonardo laughed slightly and asked, "So, is it okay if it's not during working hours?"

Serena was speechless.

Shit, she had not imagined that she would miss the weakness in his argument.

-You don't have to listen to me,II Leonardo raised his hand to look at his wristwatch and said, -It's still an hour before noon, who knows if I'll have the pleasure of buying you lunch today.

-During this remaining hour you don't have to wait for me, I will wait for you here. Come here for me when you finish your work, okay?

He had already planned everything well and would stay here and wait for you.

-Mr. Leonardo, you.

-You said before that we don't talk about personal matters during working hours, so it hasn't happened often that we have lunch together, has it?

-Yes, that's fine. Wait for me here," Serena interrupted him at the right time, "I'm going to work now.

-Well, go ahead," Leonardo's gaze suddenly became gentle, lifting his hand to touch Serena's head. She blushed slightly and stepped back nimbly. Then he left the room in a panic.

After she left, the effusion on Leonardo's face vanished, and the tenderness under his eyes was replaced by coldness.

He looked at the time on his watch and searched for a place to sit.

"Cristian, let's see who gets it first?" he thought.

"This time I will not lose to you."

Serena returned to her office with weak steps. She wanted to refuse Leonardo, but he had taken advantage of the weakness of her words, and if she refused, it would look like she was particularly bad. She let out a sigh.

She could only accept his invitation.

In fact, after Leonardo had said this yesterday, Serena was quite relieved that his intention was at least a little more comfortable than the one she knew. However, Serena did not trust him completely.

Who knew what maneuver Leonardo was pulling? She did not get along with her brother Cristian, so it made sense that she would want to compete with him. Thinking about Cristian, Serena naturally thought back to last night's phone call.

She looked at her cell phone again, and sure enough, it was still silent.

Cristian had not called her from the night before until now, was he still flirting with women and lost in sex?

Imagining this, Serena became so angry that she gritted her teeth, thinking, "Son of a bitch."

Son of a bitch, his reason for going abroad in secret was surely to meet a woman in private.

Wait, Serena calmed down, why did she care that he was dating other women?

Cristian had no relationship with her at the moment, and she had always denied that he was her husband, so now he was just pursuing her as another candidate. So Cristian also had the right to choose the women he liked.

Serena raised her hand to relax her head, convinced that such an unhealthy imagination was because she had been flirting with him too many times lately.

She had to stop being bothered by this man. Since he disliked her so much, she had to make him understand that he himself was not her only option.
