Although she was lazy, she had to support her family.
Anna also depended on her. In addition, she wanted to provide a comfortable life for Manuel, so she worked very hard. And laziness is based on the absence of external pressure.
So she would continue like that.
"And then what?" Serena asked softly.
"Then I waited for her to take the pictures. After she had finished taking them, I had gone to take measurements, and do you know what she said? She said she was tired and wanted to rest, so she told me to step aside."
Serena: "..."
Anna was bitter: "At that point I said okay. After she had rested for ten minutes and I took the measurements, she said I hurt her! She said I was unprofessional and now she won't let me come near her."
Serena raised her eyebrows, "So?"
"She had asked you to come in person. She surely meant that you should be the one to come. Who does she think she is, an international star? I was only a minute late! I apologized to her the whole time and showered her with compliments. Actually -- she didn't kick me out, I was so angry. Serena, I tell you, I don't like her at all. She wanted you to come and measure her, but how dare she demand such things?"
Serena said in a low voice, "Did you call me to come and take measurements?"
"I didn't mean that, I'm just angry, no one here listens to me you know? Don't come here, I'll stay here with you today."
Hearing this, Serena laughed and whispered, "Say what you want, but actually you just asked me to come."
"Serena!"
"You send me the address, I will come to you after I take Manuel home."
"Alright, I'll send you the address right away, Serena, hurry up, come and save me, I'm going crazy here."
Immediately after saying that to be together with Francesca, Anna put down.
Serena: "..."
After hanging up the phone, Serena put it away. As soon as she bowed her head to explain the situation to Manuel, Manuel said, "Mom, is Aunt Anna in trouble? Mom, go help her. I can stay home alone."
Although Manuel was small, he was very sensitive, perhaps due to the fact that his mother was single. Although Manuel was very caring, Serena was even more so.
She reached over and touched Manuel's head, "You are so thoughtful. Mother will go help Aunt Anna and bring her home later to make you braised fish."
After hearing about the braised fish, Manuel's eyes sparkled and he nodded, "Yes, Mother!"
After he received the money, the driver helped them carry the grocery bags to the door, but very politely did not go inside. Since Serena had to go to Anna's, she asked him to wait downstairs for another five minutes.
The driver agreed and came back down with the elevator.
After that, Serena brought the groceries inside the house with Manuel, and then put everyone in the refrigerator. When she finished, Serena said, "Now I have to go, the trip is long and I have to work, I should be back in the afternoon. If you are hungry, have some bread, okay?"
Manuel nodded, "All right, mom."
As Serena was leaving, she suddenly turned around, "Manuel, why don't you come along? When we're done, Anna and I can take you out to dinner, what do you say?"
"No, Mom, I might bother you. Go to Aunt Anna's. I can have lunch by myself!"
With that said, Manuel kissed Serena on the cheek, then said goodbye and motioned for her to go ahead.
"I see." The driver smiled and thought it was all right.
The car traveled at a fast speed and soon they were at their destination.
"I've brought a lot of people here, all actors and stars. Aren't you here for a photo shoot?"
"Well, I'm not here for pictures, I'm here to find someone." Serena nodded to him after paying, and then got out of the car.
After Serena got out of the car, she sent a message to Anna letting her know that she had arrived and asking her to come get her.
Anna asked her to wait, and two minutes later she appeared in front of her.
"Serena, here, here!"
Serena looked at her, saw Anna in the doorway, put her cell phone away and left.
When Anna saw Serena, she felt as if she had seen a savior. She was so moved that she almost cried.
After she arrived, Anna reached out her arms to hug her.
"Serena! You are finally here! If you hadn't arrived, that woman would have killed me. She made me wait outside for so long."
When she arrived, Serena saw that she was sweaty in the face, and her back and shirt collar were wet.
Serena's eyes darkened for a while. Serena tightened her red lips, and then said coldly, "Quick, take me to her."
