Virginity in second marriages by Angela novel Chapter 145

"Since when can subordinates address their superiors this way?" said Cristian impatiently.

Serena clutched the bag with her hand and said through clenched teeth, "To work on this material, I will need to work overtime. I can't work it out during normal working hours. Can I bring it home and then continue working from home?"

She had already asked too much.

"No."

However, on Cristian's part there was no concession.

What else could Serena say? She thought about it for a while, at worst she would meet with Alice the next day.

Thinking about this, she said nothing, but gave a stubborn look and walked to her seat without saying a word.

If she needed to work overtime, she would do it. There was no need to ask anyone.

Serena returned to her seat and sat down. Luca pushed Cristian away.

After he left, Serena took out her cell phone and texted Alice to tell her that she might not be able to make the appointment and that they needed to change the day.

Two minutes after sending the message, Alice called her.

"What happened? Why do you suddenly want to make a rain check?"

Alice's voice sounded worried and uneasy.

She had finally made up her mind to tell Serena the answer. She was afraid that she would no longer be able to tell her the truth after today. She did not expect that Serena would not go.

Alice was panicked.

She wondered if Serena had noticed anything.

Serena looked at the accumulated work in front of her and had a headache, "I'm sorry, Alice. I didn't want to bother you, but I really have a lot of work and won't be able to make the appointment."

Alice: "What about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow...I'll have to see."

"What, are you that busy?"

Serena: "I have to stay and work overtime."

There was a moment of silence before she said, "Are you alone?"

Serena looked around the empty room and nodded, "Yes."

"I'll come over and bring you dinner. What do you like to eat?"

Hearing this, Serena calmed down, "I'm okay with anything. But if you come here, won't it be a waste of time for you?"

"We are friends, aren't we? Wait for me. I'll be there in an hour."

After hanging up the phone, Serena looked at Alice's Facebook photo.

Her best friend, Alice.

She was always good toward her. How could she be that person described by Anna?

It was impossible.

Serena put her phone away and focused on her work.

She did not know how long she had been working. The elevator suddenly opened. Alice appeared in the hallway with two boxes of food and shouted, "I'm so tired. Serena, come here and help me," Serena saw that an hour had passed and she didn't even notice that.

She got up to help Alice and picked up a bag in her hand.

Alice followed her to the table and looked at the mountain of papers. There was not even room for the box of food.

"Shit, what's going on. Why so much work?"

Serena's eyes darkened and she said, "It's okay, I'll put it away now. Then there will be a place to put the food. Give me ten minutes."

As Serena tidied up, Alice was watching. She unconsciously looked in the direction of the office and asked, "Is Cristian working overtime?"
