If any illusions existed, they were all belied by Cristian's words.
Serena's face was pale and her fingers tightened silently.
"No...I didn't think so."
"You didn't think so? And to whom do you want to show your face of joy? Serena, I warn you that you are only my assistant when we're outside."
Serena bit her lower lip and did not speak.
"I helped you so as not to embarrass the Ferrari family, okay?"
Cristian, who treated her with affection before, became indifferent and cruel as always.
That was why...suddenly he changed his temperament and bought the mall for her. He only cared about the Ferrari family.
Yet she...was happy about it.
The illusion was now revealed by Cristian and Serena felt only shameful.
Luca, who had been following the two of them, did not believe what Cristian said, because he knew that Cristian was never a person who cared about the family's reputation. Otherwise, he would not acted his way.
However, his words were too cruel for a young woman. Obviously Serena's mood dropped a lot, even the pace of her steps slowed down.
Luca asked her, "Miss Serena, can you let me do it?"
Serena shook her head and refused, "No, I'll do it. "
She thought of something and handed the contract to Cristian.
Cristian scowled mockingly, "Are you irritating me?"
Serena was puzzled, "What?"
Facing his mocking eyes, Serena understood what he was saying and tried to control her emotion. Her watery eyes returned to their original joyless appearance and she spoke lightly, "I know you were pretending, but I thank you anyway. The performance is over and I'll return your the contract."
She did not think Cristian would buy the whole mall for her, even if it were true, she still would not accept it.
He considered her a vain person, and if she accepted them at that moment, her image would have been fixed for life.
"I will not take back anything I gave away."
Serena paused and answered decisively, "I will not take anything that does not belong to me."
Cristian did not expect her to answer that way and looked at her sarcastically, "Really?"
"I know I am a tricky woman for you. Since I am such a person, you should not give me such things. Otherwise, do you let me get what I want?"
"Woman, is your goal so small?"
Serena said furiously, "Of course not. I want so much more!"
Her actions seemed more real when she retorted Cristian. Compared to those who desired money but pretended not to be interested in it, what she did was much more interesting.
"Miss Serena, you have to keep it. Mr. Cristian does not take back anything he gave away."
Seeing that the situation was getting complicated, Luca explained that to Serena.
Serena was angry, and did not want others to consider her such a kind of woman. She clenched her fists and stood to say something.
"Do you think I gave it to you for free? The dress is worth 300,000 euros. Don't you think you should return it?"
Serena was surprised. What did he mean?
They had already reached the car by the time she intended to continue asking, but she had to get into the car first.
After getting into the car, her lips moved but Cristian closed his eyes.
"Miss Serena, don't disturb him before we arrive." Luca gently warned her.
Serena was speechless. How strange!
Remaining without solutions, that contract seemed extremely heavy. Her gaze fell on the man's face and she noticed that he had dark circles under his eyes.
