When Serena came downstairs, she saw Cristian’s car. And Luca greeted her, “Miss Serena!”
Initially, Serena was cordial to him, but since she and Cristian were no longer speaking to each other, she did not even feel like greeting Luca. She looked at him, and then left.
Luca was a little puzzled. What did he do?
Shortly after Cristian got off, Luca went to him smiling, but Cristian also walked past him without even looking at him.
These two must have quarreled?
The next day, Serena took a leave of absence from work and went to the hospital for checkups.
After the examination, the doctor told her that she had a fetal malposition and that she should rest more and not get tired.
Serena put away the examination paper and left.
When she went outside, she suddenly saw a person she felt she knew. She approached and saw that it was Chiara. Wasn’t that Matteo’s secretary? Since they had eaten together once, Serena went nearby to greet her. She gave a little pat on Chiara’s shoulder.
Chiara turned around, “Serena?”
“It’s really you, Chiara.” Serena smiled at her, “How come you are here? Are you sick?”
Chiara was very surprised to see Serena, partly because she had been investigating her own story lately.
“Not me.” Chiara smiled, “It’s Mr. Matteo.”
Chiara still could not understand what Matteo was feeling about Serena. He had only told her to investigate her but did not explain why. It seemed to Chiara that Matteo cared a lot about Serena, but it was not that kind of man-for-woman feeling.
If it was not that… then why did Matteo care so much about Serena? Just because she was Miss Alice’s friend? But if he didn’t even give that much attention to his sister… she didn’t understand. She just didn’t understand!
Chiara had thought about it for a long time but could not find a reason. Maybe… Serena can give her the answer.
“Mr. Matteo?” Serena was a little surprised, “Is he here too?”
“Yes, he’s not very well and came for a checkup. Now I’m going to get him medicine.”
“I understand.” Thinking about it, Serena said, “Mr. Matteo is working too hard. He should pay more attention to his health.”
Chiara smiled, “If Mr. Matteo could hear these words of yours personally, he would surely be very happy.”
“What?” Serena thought she heard it wrong.
“No, nothing. Mr. Matteo is out. Come with me to see him.”
Without waiting for Serena’s reply, Chiara took her hand and went out. Feeling strange, Serena let Chiara guide her and they arrived at Matteo’s car.
Chiara knocked on the car window. Matteo rolled it down and looked at her.
“Mr. Matteo, I just met Miss Serena and I was thinking if we could give her a ride?”
After she finished speaking, Chiara sensed Matteo’s sharp look as he was blaming her for deciding on his own. Chiara leaned forward slightly and did not dare to speak again.
Serena also sensed a slight pressure. Feeling embarrassed, she glanced at Chiara, then said in a low voice, “I just came by to say hello. I still have things to do here. I don’t need a ride, so I’m leaving. Thank you”
“Get in the car.”
As soon as Serena turned to leave, Matteo’s voice rang out. Serena stopped for a moment and looked at him in amazement, not understanding what he wanted.
The moment before he still looked stern and Serena did not want to embarrass Chiara. But the next second… he told her to get in the car.
Chiara knew she had done the right thing. She gave a smile and urged Serena who was still standing still, “Come on, Miss Serena. Get in the car.” She opened the car door for her.
Serena was a little puzzled and wanted to refuse, but then she saw the face of Matteo who said, “Quick.”
Chiara knew he was getting angry, so she hurried and pushed Serena into the car.
Serena was speechless.
“Let’s go.”
They drove away and Serena was very confused.
Were they giving me a ride? Although I didn’t know where we were going.
In the car, the temperature of air conditioning was very low. Serena was wearing short sleeves, and felt cold to rub her hands.
Matteo looked at her face.
Serena felt uncomfortable when he looked at her.
Matteo’s gaze was too stern. It looked like the gaze of an older brother, a look that commanded respect.
He took his gaze off her and said, “Turn up the air conditioning.”
The driver immediately did so. Chiara, who was beside, had witnessed the scene and was very astonished.
When did Matteo become so considerate of someone? Wasn’t it usually always others who pay attention to him? It seemed that Serena was really very important.
“Where are you going?” asked Matteo suddenly. Serena, who had been lost in her thoughts, immediately came back to herself. She wanted to go home but thinking about it that road they were taking was completely opposite to the road back to the Ferrari family, she only replied, “I’m getting off at the intersection in front.”
Matteo frowned, “Are you going to the Ferrari Family Group?” said in a slightly displeased tone.
Serena: “Yes.”
She had no choice but to say she was going there.
Matteo sneered, “You are wearing casual, not business attire today. If I said I’m giving you a ride, just say what your real destination is.”
“Yeah. Miss Serena. Mr. Matteo is off today too.”
Serena: “Well, then please take me to the Thunder Street Mall, I have things to do there.”
Chiara: “It is owned by the Ferrari family there, you…”
Matteo glanced at Chiara and she immediately fell silent.
“Go there.”
“Yes, Mr. Matteo.”
The driver changed direction.
Serena looked at Matteo gratefully, “Thank you, Mr. Matteo.”
Matteo’s lips moved as if he wanted to say something. After a while he asked, “Are you and Alice good friends?”
Talking about Alice, Serena felt more comfortable and the expression on her face softened a little: “Yes, we are good friends.”
Good friends? Matteo slightly squinted his eyes, “How good? To exchange secrets?”
Serena didn’t understand why Matteo was asking her that question. She thought maybe he was worrying about her sister, then nodded, “Yes, to exchange secrets, Mr. Matteo. I know Alice found her family again later, but she before… really had lived a hard life.”
