Matteo looked at Serena, who was very suggestive, and answered quietly,
-Not yet?
-Not yet? So how long," Serena asked with some anguish, taking the fall of her dress, -Matthew, do you know how tired your sister is in this dress?
Matteo looked at her dress, -Is it very heavy?
-Let me introduce you to some people, come with me," Matteo told her to get off the stage. Although Serena felt sorrowful, it did not show on her face. She picked up the hem of her dress and reluctantly moved forward.
When Matthew took her to meet others, she inevitably had to make toasts. Serena, however, found it awkward to wear the drapery of her dress and hold a glass of wine at the same time.
In a significant moment, Anna ran behind her and said, "Let me help you carry your dress."
Serena was very grateful and turned to look at her. However, Anna looked away, not daring to look at her head-on. Just then, Serena realized that what she was really avoiding was Matteo's gaze.
So the reason she had not come so far was because of Matteo? Thinking about what Anna had done earlier, Serena could not help but laugh.
Serena, this is Edoardo Ferraro, the biggest cloth merchant in the northern city.
When she heard the words "cloth merchant," Serena's eyes lit up. Her brother Matteo seemed very brave because he would introduce her to a figure so soon. This fabric merchant was just what Serena was missing, since he had a clothing design company.
-Mr. Giordano, your sister has grown up well enough to be extraordinarily beautiful, just like her mother," he said.
Mr. Edoardo is of a similar age to Matteo and Serena's mother, Asia Marini.
Serena's face reminded him of Mrs. Asia in his youth, which made him feel nostalgic. Shaking the wine glass in his hand, he surprisingly began to say with a touch of sadness, "Back then, I too was enamored in Mrs. Asia's charm. However, it is a great pity that in her eyes no one else entered but ... -
Suddenly, he stopped speaking, realizing that he had let his tongue slip out before laughing embarrassedly, -Sorry, I seem to have said too much. What I meant to say is. you are a lot like your mother then.
-Thank you,‖ Serena smiled at him before thanking him, after which a few more pleasantries were exchanged. Edward talked about having her as a guest in the company a few times before Matthew took her to the next person he was to meet.
Along the way, he met several characters, all of whom Serena wanted to meet. Having already had several glasses of wine, she was already a bit overwhelmed by this moment. Also, the dress she was wearing was so heavy, so she really wanted to retire and change her dress to rest.
Matthew was probably a little sore from the tiredness Serena's forehead was revealing, so he only brought her to meet some important guests. Then, he looked at Anna who had brought the hem of her skirt and said, "Will you join me in making a toast to some guests who might be useful to your company? -
Faced with such a suitor extending an invitation to him, it was impossible for Anna to refuse. Without hesitation, she accepted it, nodding sweetly, -All right, then... I'll send Serena to the back first, and then I'll come and see you.
-Ok," Matteo nodded.
Then, Anna sent Serena to the back, walking so lightly that her soul no longer seemed to be her own.
-What's going on? My brother asked you to join him, so are you getting into trouble?" When they reached a place where no one was around, Serena began to tease her with a smile.
Anna immediately replied with wide eyes, "What nonsense! Matteo asked me to join him, aren't we favoring your agency, your business? How is that your fault? Matteo asked me because he has a sister who is so weak, she is already starting to give up after meeting only a few businessmen. If you were stronger, how is it possible that I was given this opportunity that a reinforcement can play on the field?
Hearing this, Serena burst out laughing and exclaimed with a smile, "Yes, what an excellent reinforcement! Excellent reinforcement, where is Manuel?
At the mention of Manuel, Anna was surprised and said, " I asked the maids earlier and they told me that Manuel was with your brother.
However, there was no one at Matteo's side at that time. So where did Manuel go?
-Take off your dress first.
Serena looked at the spacious locker room and nodded, "I'm going to change, you come back in a hurry. By the way, ask Matteo where Manuel went, let Manuel come here and find me.
-So, can you take off this dress yourself?
