At the thought of this, Anna covered her cheeks and could not stop the tears that spilled from the cracks in her hands.
Finally, Matthew took her home and warned her that if she did it again, he would find a way to take her away from Serena without mercy.
Anna may have thought he did not like her, but she did not expect him to hate her so much. Had she acted too proactively? Had she left the impression of a light woman?
But...she had never lent herself to kissing any other man but him.
Should she really give up? But she didn't want to resign, no!
***
Serena was exhausted at work, because she had not slept well the night before. So she was very sleepy at work despite drinking two full cups of coffee.
Just when she wanted to give in to the impulse to go to the break room for a two-hour nap, Arianna pushed open the door and came in, saying, "Serena, there is someone from the Clozul company who wants to talk to you about work.
Normally, Anna would take care of it, but today she had taken the day off....
Serena put the pen in her hand and nodded. She said, -Okay. First, he is brought to the reception room. I'll be there in two minutes.
-Okay.
Arianna was a good assistant, usually not only taking care of the design, but also sometimes taking care of Anna's work. Gradually, Serena changed her opinion of her, considering that she was a rather observant designer.
Serena tidied up a bit before getting up and heading for the reception room.
When she reached the door, Serena saw the person in the room and her footsteps stopped.
It was Leonardo again.
Seeing him reminded Serena of what she had said in the bakery yesterday: -Even if I'm going to approach you, it's because I like you.
-Now the current Leonardo is no longer your older brother, so I am able to compete with Cristian to win you over. Five years ago I had no chance, but now I want to fight for myself. I will not stop until you are with Cristian.
-Serena?
Just as she was thinking, the man's soft voice resounded in the room, and Serena regained consciousness and saw that Leonardo had stood up and was smiling with a very sweet look on his face.
While Arianna, who was standing not far from him, looked puzzled.
Of course, Serena knew her doubts. With a faint smile, she stepped forward and entered.
-Arianna, go ahead and get to work.
-Ok," Arianna cast a glance at Leonardo before turning and walking out.
Only Serena and Leonardo were left. Serena sat across from him and asked, -What work do you want to discuss with me?
-I can't see you if it's not about work? -Leonardo looked at her, his black eyes alarmingly bright.
Serena was surprised, "You.
-Did I go too far in taking advantage of my position for personal gain? -Leonardo smiled softly again, "There is nothing to discuss at work because I trust your abilities.
-So, you didn't come here for the job today? -Serena looked up, her eyebrows furrowed.
-Since you're not in a good state, shall I take you to relax?
Serena didn't even think about it and dismissed it out of hand.
-No need, if you have no problems to solve, please don't stop here.
After saying this, Serena quickly got up and prepared to leave. She did not want to please Leonardo, she even wanted him to get angry and cancel the contract.
