Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

“Since when can subordinates address their superiors this way?” said Cristian impatiently.

Serena clutched the bag with her hand and said through clenched teeth, “To work on this material, I will need to work overtime. I can’t work it out during normal working hours. Can I bring it home and then continue working from home?”

She had already asked too much.

“No.”

However, on Cristian’s part there was no concession.

What else could Serena say? She thought about it for a while, at worst she would meet with Alice the next day.

Thinking about this, she said nothing, but gave a stubborn look and walked to her seat without saying a word.

If she needed to work overtime, she would do it. There was no need to ask anyone.

Serena returned to her seat and sat down. Luca pushed Cristian away.

After he left, Serena took out her cell phone and texted Alice to tell her that she might not be able to make the appointment and that they needed to change the day.

Two minutes after sending the message, Alice called her.

“What happened? Why do you suddenly want to make a rain check?”

Alice’s voice sounded worried and uneasy.

She had finally made up her mind to tell Serena the answer. She was afraid that she would no longer be able to tell her the truth after today. She did not expect that Serena would not go.

Alice was panicked.

She wondered if Serena had noticed anything.

Serena looked at the accumulated work in front of her and had a headache, “I’m sorry, Alice. I didn’t want to bother you, but I really have a lot of work and won’t be able to make the appointment.”

Alice: “What about tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow… I’ll have to see.”

“What, are you that busy?”

Serena: “I have to stay and work overtime.”

There was a moment of silence before she said, “Are you alone?”

Serena looked around the empty room and nodded, “Yes.”

“I’ll come over and bring you dinner. What do you like to eat?”

Hearing this, Serena calmed down, “I’m okay with anything. But if you come here, won’t it be a waste of time for you?”

“We are friends, aren’t we? Wait for me. I’ll be there in an hour.”

After hanging up the phone, Serena looked at Alice’s Facebook photo.

Her best friend, Alice.

She was always good toward her. How could she be that person described by Anna?

It was impossible.

Serena put her phone away and focused on her work.

She did not know how long she had been working. The elevator suddenly opened. Alice appeared in the hallway with two boxes of food and shouted, “I’m so tired. Serena, come here and help me,” Serena saw that an hour had passed and she didn’t even notice that.

She got up to help Alice and picked up a bag in her hand.

Alice followed her to the table and looked at the mountain of papers. There was not even room for the box of food.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Shit, what’s going on. Why so much work?”

Serena’s eyes darkened and she said, “It’s okay, I’ll put it away now. Then there will be a place to put the food. Give me ten minutes.”

As Serena tidied up, Alice was watching. She unconsciously looked in the direction of the office and asked, “Is Cristian working overtime?”

“No.” Serena shook her head, “I’m probably the only one in the company working overtime.”

Alice asked, “What’s the point? Are you the only one working overtime in the company? Does the company depend on you?”

“It has nothing to do with it. I didn’t finish the work I had.”

“You can’t finish that much work in three days!” Alice complained angrily, “The company is too inhumane to you.”

Serena had already prepared everything, took a chair for Alice to sit on and opened the box containing food.

“Don’t you like the vegetarian dishes in this restaurant? I got them for you. I drove twenty minutes.”

“Thank you, Alice.”

“No problem.”

The two began to eat. Alice suddenly asked, “You still haven’t told me why the company is making you work here alone. What’s the problem?”

Serena naturally kept no secrets from her.

So she told her everything.

After listening, the expression on Alice’s face changed slightly.

“I mean. He was angry about those photos, so he deliberately gave you all this work?”

Serena smiled and said in a low voice, “Who knows? Or maybe he just doesn’t like me.”

Speaking of that, Serena suddenly sighed again, “Alice, who do you think would do that behind my back? Especially for those photos.”

Alice’s face turned pale and her heart beat wildly. She lowered her head and replied, “How should I know?”

The fork slipped from her hand and fell to the ground, probably because she was nervous.

The expression on Alice’s face changed slightly, she wanted to bend down to pick them up, but accidentally fell off the chair.

Serena: “Alice, what’s wrong with you?”

When Alice lowered her head to pick up her fork, she couldn’t help but close her eyes.

No panic!

“Nothing…” Alice smiled awkwardly. She stood up wanting to continue eating with that fork. Serena frowned and took it from her. “It’s dirty you can’t eat with it. I’ll wash it for you.”

Then she stood up with the fork and went to wash it.

After she left, Alice covered her chest. At that moment, she felt frightened.

She had not expected to lose control like that in front of Serena.

While Serena was gone, Alice recovered from it.

“Serena, I didn’t eat at noon today. I drove all the way here. I’m so hungry and my hands are shaking. I’m sorry.”

Hearing this, Serena was slightly stunned and looked at her.

“Alice, you are very kind to me.”

“No, you are my only real friend. I only have you as a good friend. I have to behave well with you.”

After that they sat down again. Alice did not want to eat anymore. She whispered to her, “Serena, tell me something. Are those photos what caused problems between you and Cristian? Has the relationship between you always been this bad? O… is it because of the photos?”

Serena silently looked at the food in front of her. In fact, she could not remember if there had ever been a moment of peace in the relationship. Ever since they had sex because of being drugged, there seemed to be some peace.

But that kind of peace was a kind of humiliation for Serena.

A man who hated her changed only after having sex with her.

“That’s right,” she nodded.

Alice’s eyes lit up when she heard those words.

It seemed that the photos were a good way to separate them.
