Once they were both seated, Anna continued to stand behind Serena, watching Elsa suspiciously.
Anna kept her eyes on her, as if afraid that Elsa would suddenly stand up and pull some liquid out of her pocket to splash Serena.
Last time, Cristian was present, but now that Cristian was gone, who would defend Serena from these attacks?
So, Anna must protect Serena.
Maybe it was because Anna was making it too obvious, so Elsa gave her a questioning look before complaining, -Why are you looking at me with that face? I promised not to hurt her again and you still don’t trust me?
Anna, -I don’t believe you. And you did something so extreme before, if it were me, I would never forgive you, only someone as generous as Serena would forgive you.
Anna spoke bluntly, and Elsa was mortified by Anna’s rebuke. Serena did not stop Anna, she just looked at everything with a calm face.
Elsa was angry, but restrained herself as she sneered: -Think what you want, I can’t stop you, but I will prove everything by my actions!
With that, she stood up and looked at Serena.
However, Anna suddenly stiffened: -What are you doing? You…
As a result, Anna’s eyes widened in surprise.
Because Elsa suddenly leaned toward Serena, her waist and head bent, looking particularly sincere.
Catherine was also taken aback by this action of hers and looked at her daughter in astonishment; it was obvious that this matter was not something they had discussed before.
-I am sorry, I apologize for my previous inappropriate behavior, and I promise you that such behavior will not be repeated in the future. Because of the bad influence I caused you earlier, I am willing to accept the condition of doing whatever you say.
Anna was astonished too; she had not expected Elsa to be so reasonable one day.
Caterina had a look of satisfaction, “Miss Serena, this time my daughter really came to apologize to you, this time after she got out of detention, she dragged me right away to buy something and said she would come to apologize to you. First it’s all our fault, but now we thought it all over.
Serena still had that calm look on her face and did not seem surprised by Elsa’s actions.
Her calmness made Catherine immediately understand why her daughter had lost to Serena.
Elsa and Serena were not on the same level.
And although Elsa was beautiful, Serena’s beauty was by no means inferior to Elsa’s; in fact, she had her temperament.
Things like temperament have to do with experience and thought.
What Serena possessed, Elsa did not have at all.
However, the naivete and sweetness of Elsa, Serena did not have.
However, if Serena and Cristian knew each other from before, then he should have seen the sweetness is innocence of Serena and now loved her temperament.
Thinking about it, Catherine already had an answer in mind.
-If I had not forgiven her, you would not have had the chance to talk to me now. I will not accept the gifts you gave me, and I hope you will leave me alone in the future.
Elsa, is that all?
-What?
-You… You’re not going to get into trouble with me? After all, I wanted to spoil your appearance.
Serena smiled calmly, “First of all, it’s Mr. Cristian you hurt, not me. Secondly, now that I have forgiven you, I would be breaking my promise if I continued to pursue you.
The kinder Serena was the more humble Elsa felt in her presence.
-Well, it is my fate to lose to you.
I will accept whatever conditions you say, but if you fail to be with Cristian, I will try to compete with you for fairness you mean.
Serena froze for a moment, looking at Elsa.
Did she want to compete with Serena over Cristian?
Serena lowered her gaze and smiled, “Whatever.
-These gifts.
-I will not accept these gifts,” Serena stood up, her words making her emotions inaudible, “You can go now.
Catherine had brought a big pile of gifts, but she did not expect Serena not to want them, she immediately felt anxious saying, -We brought them to apologize to you. Since you have accepted our apology, you might as well accept these gifts. They are all gifts that we have carefully chosen.
-Mrs. Catherine, I really do not need these things, and it is not me you have to thank, but to Beatrice.
Hearing this, Catherine froze for a moment, thinking even more that Serena was a smart girl.
Serena sensed that this incident had caused some unhappiness between Catherine and Beatrice and said this on purpose to soften the relationship between Catherine and Beatrice.
The girl was a good-hearted person.
-I know, I must also thank her for this time, I myself will thank her for her part, but you must accept these gifts.
Catherine put the gifts she had brought on the table, then took Elsa’s hand, ‗I really thank you for this time, my daughter and I will be back sooner.
After saying this, Caterina led Elsa out of the office.
Elsa looked at Serena again and turned up the volume a few notches, -The gifts are all chosen by me, if you don’t accept them you are despising me….
-Enough,” Anna said.
The two disappeared out the door.
When everyone left, Serena returned to her table.
She was quite tired, so she might as well take a break for lunch.
So Serena got up and finished packing her things, then went to the break room.
The day passed with a great deal of activity. At the end of the day, Serena and Anna went to pick up Manuel, and when Serena came home after a long day, she took off her heels and collapsed on the couch.
She had just gone to bed when her phone buzzed.
Serena pulled it out and looked at it: it was a message from Cristian.
{When are you coming}
Did Cristian purposely text Serena at that time?
Serena did not want to answer him and put her phone right next to her as Manuel dropped his backpack and ran toward her.
-Mom, we’re taking the kitten to the vet today to get it checked out.
At Manuel’s call, Serena remembered the matter and nodded, -Yes, I’ll go with you.
“Forget it, I’ll go with you.” Anna tugged on Manuel’s shirt and pulled the little one to her side before looking at Serena, “Look at your mom, she’s already tired from work today, we’d both better go get the kitten! Let your mom get some rest.
