Petrified, Serena allowed Cristian to rest his head in the back of her head. Feeling the man's chin resting on her shoulder, she waited for his next movement, but he did nothing. She was surprised because being in his arms she clearly felt that the atmosphere around him suddenly became so sad.
Sadness?
For a moment, Serena doubted her sense. How did she find such a feeling about this man?
"What happened to you?" she asked him doubtfully. Could it be that her story had reminded him of something bad?
Cristian neither answered nor moved. He remained silent. When Serena tried to move, he squeezed her wrist and said in a low voice full of sadness, "Don't move. Let me hold you for a few minutes."
She was stunned and felt a thud to her heart. That meant she did not sense it wrong. He was really distressing. After that she did not moved, letting him lean on her. So much so that... she felt sorry for him, raised her hand and slowly placed it on his back. She sensed that his body trembled for a moment when she placed her hand on his back and then became still again.
The two remained sitting in this position. After a few minutes, Serena noticed that he had fallen asleep, so she lowered her head to look at him and saw his dark circles under his eyes. Apparently he did not sleep so well these days. So her heart softened and she let him rest, not daring to move even for a while.
No one knew how long it lasted. Suddenly someone knocked on the office door, then Leonardo and Luca walked in together. Seeing the scene, the two stopped talking. Luca opened his eyes wide in disbelief and pointed to Serena, "Mrs. Serena, what are you and Mr. Cristian doing!"
"Shhh" Serena covered her mouth with a finger and asked Luca to be quiet. Seeing Luca stopped talking, she looked up and noticed a fiery look falling on her face. Following her gaze, she noticed that together with Luca was Leonardo. From his face with wrinkled eyebrows, it could be perceived there was a slight sense of anger in Leonardo.
Luca broke the awkward atmosphere with a coughing sound and said to Leonardo, "Since Mr. Cristian and Ms. Serena are busy, then let's go out and come back later," but Leonardo remained motionless and replied in a voice that carried a bit of coldness, "I have something very important to discuss with Cristian."
"I understand, Mr. Leonardo, but..."
"What are you doing during working hours?" Leonardo did not even let Luca finish his sentence. His voice not was so loud but could reach every corner of the office.
Hearing this, Luca reiterated, "Mr. Leonardo, this is Mr. Cristian's office, and he can do whatever he wants."
"But it should also not be forgotten that although this is his office, we are in the Ferrari family business!" Leonardo added.
Leonardo's anger stunned even Serena, who looked at him. He used to be such a nice man. How came he became so aggressive now? Unconsciously, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Before she could react, Cristian who was leaning over her moved and said, "Leonardo, did you come to my office to vent your anger? What made you so angry?" Cristian had probably just woken up. His low voice carried a slight sense of temptation, which "caressed" Serena's heart.
