The two chatted in the office before returning to work, and soon it was time to leave work.


    Suddenly, Serena thought of a very serious problem.


    Because Anna went to the Giordano’s with Manuel, so Matteo was going toe to hispany to pick up Anna and then go pick up Manuel.


    However, this afternoon Cristian would alsoe to pick up Serena, so they could meet.


    Thinking about this, Serena’s expression instantly changed, and she told Anna directly about this matter.


    When Anna heard this, she too realized the seriousness of the matter, looked at the time on her phone and panicked, “But there are only ten minutes left, what should we do?


    Serena bit her lower lip, “There’s no way, I can’t get Cristian toe, or if my brother finds out…”


    The consequences could be bad.


    -So what do we do? Are you going to call him and tell him to postpone the appointment toe get you?


    -Then he’ll think I’m working overtime ande faster.


    After thinking about it, Serena began to gather her things and Anna looked surprised, -What are you doing?


    -Leaving work early.


    -Leaving work early? Then you…


    -I’m going directly to herpany.


    Anna’s eyes widened, ” Isn’t it toote?


    -Yes, so I’ll call him on the way and try to get him to stop somewhere else to pick me up.


    Serena moved quickly and put her things in her bag, then loaded it and walked out the door, turning to Anna as she said, “I’ll leave you the rest of the work, take care of yourself.


    -OK.


    There was no signal in the elevator, so Serena took the stairs while texting Cristian.


    After sending the message, she picked up her pace and was on her way to the third floor when her phone suddenly rang.


    Serena looked at the call was from Cristian.


    -What is it?


    -Where are you?”-Cristian’s voice sounded a little anxious, and Serena blinked suspiciously, -I’m at the supermarket, I just texted you.


    Cristian was silent for a moment and retorted angrily, “Didn’t I tell you that you shouldn’t go out alone? Can’t you understand me?


    Suddenly turned fierce, Serena was stunned, “Me, I just want to buy something.


    -Can’t you wait for me toe?


    Serena blinked and suddenly realized she did not have her keys with her, so she had to turn her head and go back upstairs.


    As she walked, she said, -I suddenly want to go shopping, I’m not disabled, I don’t need to depend on you to do everything, do I?


    -What if you run into danger?


    Serena walked up two flights of stairs, and unconsciously gasped as she spoke, -It’s my business too, fate must be such a line, right?


    Cristian seemed to want to say something else, but suddenly there was silence again for a long while before asking, “Where are you now?


    What?


    Serena was nervous and felt guilty at that moment.


    -I said I’m at the supermarket, why are you asking again?


    -No, there is no sound around you, and there is an echo, and you are panting.


    Serena said in her heart, -Damn it!


    How could I have missed that? The biggest thing in the building was the echo, the echo of his footsteps when he wasn’t talking, as if someone was following you.


    She had ignored it.


    Thinking about this, Serena coughed slightly to hide her inner panic as she exined, “I’m on the stairs of the supermarket, the elevator is broken. What’s the problem?


    -Oh.” Cristian sneered, “You better be good and wait for me at the entrance of thepany, if I find out you are not there, then I will turn yourpany upside down.


    This was said with an overly threatening element. Serena got a little angry and said directly and fiercely, -How dare you!Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    -Try it.


    Serena…”


    She bit her lower lip, so angry that she could not help but tap her foot, and finally cursed, -Whatever you say!


    Then she hung up directly on Cristian.


    She was going to go to the supermarket and then see how he would turn her business upside down if he was not found.


    She could not believe that he would dare attack herpany, and if he did, she would never forgive him.


    Back in her office, Serena opened the door, panting.


    Anna looked at her with wide eyes in surprise, “Serena, why did youe back again?


    Serena entered with a wicked expression and took the keys from the table, -I forgot to take the keys, now I’m leaving.


    After taking two steps, she stopped again and said, -Forget it.


    -What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to catch up with him soon?


    Serena didn’t tell her what had just happened in the hallway, she really wanted to go against Cristian, but when she thought about it, she felt that it didn’t make sense, if Cristian really didn’t see her under thepany building, maybe it was true that he would turn thepany upside down.


    No matter.


    “Forget it. Whates, alwayses, what was he hiding from?”


    -Well, let fate take its course.


    Serena put the keys directly into her purse, theny down on the couch to rest.


    She had climbed several flights of stairs and was exhausted.


    Anna was stunned for a few seconds, then began to gather her things and, when she had finished, said to Serena, “I’ll go down first, you can go downter.


    -All right.


    After Anna left, the office fell silent, and Serena remembered what Cristian had said earlier on the other end of the phone, took off her shoes, and curled up on the couch.


    Bastard!


    You jerk!


    She cursed him in her mind, not knowing that the man she was cursing in her mind was now speeding toward his office in his car.


    Although Serena was worried, she admitted that she was still shy and did not dare to get down to face him, so she could only stay on the couch in this office, waiting for the final oue of things.


    Sure enough, even after five years, she was still so shy without the courage to face him.


    She didn’t know how long she had been cowering, but the office door suddenly opened and determined footsteps resounded in the office.


    Soon, a tall figure came to her side.


    The crouching Serena slowly raised her head from the crook of her arm and saw a handsome face.


    The man squatted down in front of her, took her chin, and looked at her carefully.


    -I’ll give you a minute to exin why you lied to me.


    Serena-”


    Her lips twitched and finally she could only say, -Whatever you think it is. “
