Virginity in second marriages by Angela novel Chapter 172

Serena looked at her without saying a word.

"Did you hear me? Look I'm talking to you."

Serena then replied with a smile, "You are shouting so loudly. How can you think I didn't hear you?"

Elena Mariani looked at her and was full of anger, "Then why don't you answer me?"

"Didn't you say you had something to talk to me? Well, hurry up! I also have to get off work."

Elena was so angry that she wanted to go over there and slap her in the face, but she reconsidered her plan for a moment and restrained herself from doing so.

"I apologize for everything that happened between us in the past. It was all my fault."

Serena paused for a moment, and could not refrain from raising her eyebrows in disbelief. However, seeing Elena's face covered in anger, Serena almost had the feeling that Elena was preparing to beat her up at any moment. "Miss Elena came to bring me her false apology. And I thought you hated me, before you said this."

"You!"

"I tell you the truth. I don't care what your goal is. We are mere employees, and I don't understand what you'll gain by turning against me. Now you even apologize to me. It's better to end it here. I don't want to talk to you anymore."

And as she finished speaking, Serena turned and left.

As soon as she left, Gaia Ferrara emerged from the shadows: " It's useless to get angry. Elena, but who does she think she is? And she also has the nerve to not accept your apology. Rest assured, even if she doesn't trust us, we will find a way to fix her right."

Time flew by, and the eve of the company's anniversary arrived in no time .

Alice Giordano then went to visit Serena for the occasion.

"I heard about your company's anniversary celebration. Tomorrow...can I participate as your family member?"

"I don't know.If you really want to be there in any case, I'll ask if it's possible."

Alice, hugging her, gave her a kiss, "Thank you Serena. You are great."

Serena smiled at her, "No problem. As longas you're happy." So she paused for a moment and Alice's brother Matteo came to her mind.

Since they had exchanged Facebook contact last time, they had not heard from each other because of too much embarrassment. Now that Serena wanted to talk to her about it, Alice came up with the idea of going shopping.

In truth, Serena did not want to dress up for the occasion. A simple dress would be perfect for hiding in the crowd. After all, there were too many enemies in the company. Keeping a low tone at the celebration would have been better.

Who would expect Alice to choose a long red dress for her.

"No, this is too conspicuous," Serena bluntly refused.

Alice, however, grabbed her waist and said, "But what are you afraid of? You are Mrs. Ferrari. What's wrong with showing off a little?"

"Yes but...no come on, that's too much."

No one in the company knew she was Cristian's wife, and besides, she and Cristian were going to divorce sooner or later, so she was only temporarily his wife.

"If price is the problem, don't worry. I'll give it to you." Alice forcefully pushed her into the dressing room to ask her try on the dress.

Serena, with the dress in hand, had no alternative but to undress and put it on. Only there was no mirror in the dressing room, and the dress was extremely low-cut. Serena then stood with the dress on without the courage to come out, while Alice called to her from outside, "So, how does it fit? Come out and let me see you."

"Alice, but...."

Serena then opened the curtain of the dressing room and Alice immediately jumped in. As soon as Alice saw her, Alice was thunderstruck. The red of the dress looked great with Serena's flawless skin, and the prominent V-neck showed off her grace. All this, accompanied by Serena's elegant gaze, gave her an incomparable charm. At this sight, Alice remembered the woman she saw in a photo of the Giordano family. The woman was indeed Asia Marini, the hostess of the Giordano family.

Alice's gaze then suddenly became worried. If Serena wore this dress during the celebration, then....

"Alice, what is it?" Serena's question quickly brought her back to her senses. "Nothing, it's just that this dress looks too good on you. I don't know what to say." Alice replied, shaking her head slightly.

Serena however, visibly embarrassed, tried to cover her chest with her hand, "It's really too low-cut though, maybe I should try another one."

"But this one is perfect," said Alice who turned around. "I'm going to pay for it."

Serena would like to stop her, but Alice ran away in an instant. By the time Serena changed clothes, Alice had already purchased two dresses.

"Serena, this is your dress. I have already had it wrapped. Now let's go."

Serena cast a hesitant glance at the clerk, but then could only follow her toward the exit.

As soon as they got into the car, Alice said, "Let me keep the dress first and I'll bring it to you tomorrow. I don't want you to go back to the store to change it."

"Alice."

"Okay, I'll drive you home."

Alice accompanied Serena to the entrance of the Ferrari family mansion, and they met Cristian who just returned from work. A flash of contentment leaked from Alice's eyes at the sight of Cristian. "Cristian!" she shouted. Cristian, however, seemed immersed in his thoughts and suddenly stopped. Then he set his gaze first on Serena and then on Alice who got more delightful.

"Cristian, I drove Serena home."

"Yes," Cristian merely said.

Then he suddenly added, "It's getting late. I'll have Luca drive you home."

"But no, no need. I'll go home myself," said Alice who was flattered.

Luca, who heard Mr. Cristian's order, insisted, "I'll drive you home. Please don't worry."

Alice then handed him the car key and said, "Then thank you."

"You're welcome. Miss Alice drove Miss Serena home. As Mr. Cristian's assistant, it is my duty to accompany you home now."

Hearing these words, Alice could not hide some embarrassment.

"Let's go, Miss Alice."

After they had left, Serena stood watching the car drive away down the road. Then she heard the sound of the wheelchair behind her. She turned around and saw that Cristian had already gone inside on his own.

Serena then hurriedly joined him.

"Why...can you explain to me why you told Luca to take Alice home? What are you going to do?"

Cristian kept going without saying a word, as if he had not heard her at all.

Serena then resumed following him, biting her lower lip in agitation, "Speak! What do you want to do with Alice?"

He was always rude to everyone every single day, but now instead he told Luke to accompany Alice home.

Serena then stepped in front of Cristian, forcing him to stop.

"You did it to make me angry, didn't you? You know I don't like you and Alice being too intimate, so you told Luca Russo to drive her home. You wanted to make me angry. Tell me the truth."
