Anna was thrilled, but Serena was still worried.
She didn't want to go to the party with Leonardo. Cristian had already misunderstood the relationship between her and Leonardo. If she went to the party together with Leonardo, and no one saw them, then everything would be fine, but if someone saw them together, that would cause more problems. Cristian would surely have misunderstood.
Thinking about this, Serena was even more unhappy.
Leonardo said, "I know why you are worried. As soon as we get all the results we will leave. I will take you there. You will also be able to see the results prepared by my secretary on the way. Also, I'll leave you in a place where we couldn't be seen, I won't let any more misunderstandings arise."
Serena: "..."
She looked at Leonardo feeling guilty for a moment.
She feared Cristian might misunderstand, so she wanted to refuse to go with Leonardo.
But she did not expect that Leonardo would consider her concerns and understand what she was thinking.
For a moment Serena blushed, and felt embarrassed.
In the face of the cold night, many times she felt very guilty.
"So, are you feeling a little calmer?" Leonardo asked.
Serena was speechless, bit her lower lip and lowered her eyes, without answering Leonardo.
Anna probably understood her mood and quickly spoke for Serena, "Then I thank you for Serena. He is very considerate of the family."
Leonardo looked at her and looked away indifferently.
That sentence about family made him unhappy.
He didn't want to be Serena's family, if he had to be a family member--then he wanted to be a different kind of "family member," not what he was now.
He tightened his thin lips and looked at the time on the 'clock, "It's still early. There is still time. Don't worry."
"Sure."
After waiting almost half an hour, Leonardo's secretary finally arrived. When she arrived at Leonardo's, she smiled at Serena. Serena had met her before. When she had been transferred, she had gone to her for advice.
But now she was just embarrassed to meet her.
"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting. There were many things, so it took me a long time. Was it a problem?"
"No problem, thank you." Serena stood up and smiled at her.
The secretary's eyes rested on her face, they looked at each other intensely, and then she looked at her mischievously, "Since the materials have been delivered, I won't bother you. Vice President Ferrari, I should go now, my mother is waiting for me to have dinner."
"All right, go ahead, be careful on the way."
After the secretary left, Serena could not help but say, "I am really grateful to you and the secretary for helping me this time."
"No need to say thank you. In that box is your dress? If you want to go to the party you will have to dress well. Get the papers then we'll leave."
Having said that, Leonardo took the car keys and got up. Serena at that moment did not have time to look at the papers, so she took the papers and the box and got up.
Leonardo asked them to wait at the door and went to pay the bill. Then he went to get the car, so Serena and Anna waited at the door.
Hearing this, Anna was stunned, "How could that be? What happened between you and Alice will never happen. Even though I am not particularly intelligent, I still have principles. I will never like your man. As long as I know he will be attached to you, I will stay away from him and never have the temptation."
What about Alice? Hadn't she imposed those same principles on herself? At first she was able to control herself, but then she couldn't take it anymore, or maybe she had never had those principles, she just followed her heart, and then...
"Well, don't think about it, when you get in the car, I will leave, if you need anything, just text me and we will discuss it."
With that, Anna gently walked her away, and then stood by her side waiting for the car.
Soon after, Leonardo arrived in the car and pulled up in front of the two. He was a true gentleman and got out of the car to open the door for the two. After Serena got into the car, Leonardo pushed Anna to get in.
Anna waved at them and said, "No need, I won't get in the car, don't you have to go to the party? You better leave quickly."
"But you're on your way." Leonardo said, smiling.
Anna smiled awkwardly, "Vice President, there's really no need! My house is nearby. By cab I'll be a short time! You guys hurry up and go."
Then she turned and drove away, leaving Leonardo in front of the car.
Watching her run away, a touch of helplessness made its way into Leonardo's gaze. Then he got into the car. He looked at Serena in the back seat, "She doesn't want to get in the car."
Serena nodded, "Never mind. Let her go."
Then he lowered his gaze and looked at his toes.
Serena had a feeling. Anna deliberately avoided Leonardo and Cristian. Probably because she was afraid of that day.
