Serena followed Cristian into the conference room.
Leonardo was also among them. When his eyes met Serena's, he flashed her a gentle smile. Although Serena was in a bad mood, she just couldn't resist his gentle gaze as calm as a spring breeze. Her resentment toward Cristian became minor and she smiled at him too.
These small interactions naturally were noticed by Cristian.
At this point, his breath became more icy!
Matteo Giordano and Chiara Gatti had already arrived. And Leonardo, the vice president, went to greet them personally. So when Serena saw Leonardo, she could see the Matteo and Chiara sitting next to him.
Just like the day before, Matteo still sat there, with a cold look, as if he could not see anyone in her eyes.
He read the documents in front of him. When Serena looked at him, he seemed to be aware of what had happened. He looked up and saw Serena, nodding weakly.
Serena nodded as well, and then nodded to Clare.
The frost emanating from Cristian's body now reflected her hostility.
Oh, she was such a woman loved by everyone.
People greeted her wherever she went, and she must have been so proud.
After they sat down, Cristian's thin fingertips tapped on the table, "Coffee."
Serena nodded, "I'll go make it."
She immediately went out, prepared the coffee. There was no one to help her throughout the conference room. Serena was struggling a lot.
When she entered the meeting room with a large tray of cups of coffee, the meeting had already started. Someone in the meeting room was giving a speech. Serena could not make any noise and gently placed each cup of coffee in front of the directors, shareholders and executives.
Seeing how hard she was struggling, Leonardo supported her as she approached and Serena looked at him gratefully. Then she walked over and brought a cup of coffee to Matteo.
Matteo looked at her fair hands with thin fingers that looked like they were made of jade.
He remembered his mother. When he was very young, his mother stood in front of him reading each book to him, page by page, and telling him various stories in a soft voice and finally stroking his head.
"Matteo, if you have a chance to find your sister, you must treat her well."
It could be said that after his mother's death, Matteo continued to work hard in order to achieve this goal.
In two years, he managed to find his much-loved sister from whom he had been separated since birth, but...he still felt empty and always felt that he had not yet fulfilled his mother's expectations.
At that moment, Serena's presence widened that emptiness in his heart even more.
As Serena's figure overlapped more and more with the one in his memories, this one seemed to trap him, almost intentionally, within an illusion.
She was the sister he was looking for.
It seemed that at the end of this encounter, Chiara was to investigate Serena's life experiences.
Chiara looked at Serena in amazement. She had not expected that she would do it all by herself. Looking at Cristian who was sitting at the head of the table, Chiara thought of the scene in the restaurant the day before.
Then she thought: this was really a ruthless man!
A loud noise was heard.
When Serena came in with coffee for the second time, Leonardo couldn't take it anymore. When he made to get up and help her, Matteo suddenly looked at Chiara and gave her a hint.
Chiara had worked alongside Matteo for many years, and she soon understood. She stood up in front of Leonardo to help Serena hold the coffee, and whispered, "I will help you."
Serena stared at her without understanding, "Thank you, thank you."
