Lightning pierced almost half the sky.
Serena who was sleeping peacefully in bed lifted the covers and stood up abruptly at the sound of thunder.
The lights in the room were off. In the darkness, a figure could be seen getting out of bed and walking out.
The light from the hallway immediately illuminated the darkened room and Serena's face, makeup-removed but still delicate.
As soon as she took a step, two men stopped in front of her.
-Mistress!
Serena looked at the two men with some surprise, her pale lips pursed, -Who are you?
-It is not safe outside, Mr. Matteo ordered us to protect you at the door.
"Protect me?" she thought.
Serena could not help but scoff with a slight smile on her lips, -Protect me or guard me?
The facial expression made the two look at each other with mutual embarrassment. One of them, the braver one, stepped forward and said, "Miss Serena, Mr. Matteo naturally asked us to watch over your safety.
It's a matter of surveillance, but also protection.
He would guard her, he would not let her go outside. There was a storm outside. If she had gone out at that time, she probably would have gotten sick, but....
Serena bit her lower lip and said in a cold voice, "Whatever the reason, now get out of the way, I have something to do.
They were both speechless.
-I'm sorry, ma'am. Lord Matthew expressly ordered us to keep you in your room and rest until dawn, you can't go out.
-What if I have to?
-Be reasonable, Miss Serena, it's so dark and stormy outside that even if you went out, you would lose sight of the road.
***
What the man said made Serena's heart sink to the bottom.
Was it also difficult to walk?
-Serena, who was standing, suddenly extended her hand and pushed the people in front of her. While they were stunned, she ran forward.
-Mrs. Serena!
The two came back to their senses. Taking steps with their legs, they went to stop her.
-Miss Serena, please don't put us in a bad situation, it's Lord Matthew's order. It's pouring rain outside and we can't go out at this hour.
-It's none of your business, let me go.
Serena could not move a single step forward because her hand was clenched, so her face turned red with anger. She stepped on the man's foot.
The trampled man cried out in pain, but he still could not let go of Serena. As he tugged her, he turned to his companion, "Go inform Mr. Matteo that Miss Serena has woken up.
The man nodded and quickly turned and disappeared.
Serena was still struggling, "Let me go, my brother told you to look at me instead of holding my hands, didn't he? What are you doing with my hand now? Are you trying to molest me?
The man was speechless.
He would not have dared to molest her even for all the gold in the world.
Serena was the sister of Matteo of the Giordano Group, and she would also have been the bride of the young successor of the Ferrari Group, had there not been the incident.
Her position would have been unassailable once Cristian was found.
