Chapter 62: I won’t even take a look at you
Serena did not stay in the hospital for long. After the doctor’s checkup, which assured her that she had no major problems, Serena took the initiative of wanting to leave the hospital.
The doctor frowned, “My advice is to stay in the hospital for observation for two more days. After all, your physical fitness is very poor.”
“Doctor, I’m fine. Can I leave the hospital today?”
Eventually, under Serena’s insistence, the doctor agreed to let her go home after advising her not to drink alcohol during her pregnancy.
Serena performed the discharge procedure on her own. She asked Alice about the amount she spent on loans, promising to pay her back as soon as possible. Alice happily paid for her. Knowing her condition, Alice said she did not want them back.
Although Alice said this, Serena would not spend her money so haphazardly, so she remembered the exact amount and would pay it back as soon as she received her salary.
Discharged from the hospital, Serena went home to settle down, and then she used the money left over from the hospitalization fee to buy two new sets of clothes for herself and returned to work wearing those new ones. Arriving at the site, although she was late, she sat down and began to work.
She had not finished sorting through these earlier documents.
After about half an hour, Luca exited the elevator without expression, walked past Serena’s workplace and quickly returned staring at her.
“Assistant Serena?” Did he see it wrong? How could someone who should still be in the hospital right now suddenly appear in the company?
Luca rubbed his eyes.
Serena did not even give him half a glance, continuing to stare intently at the documents in her hand, and nodded silently.
Luca: “… why are you here?”
And wasn’t this reaction too flat?
Serena replied, “This is my work position. Is there anything strange that I’m here?”
“I meant… shouldn’t you be in the hospital?”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Not right now.”
“Look for Mr. Cristian, right? Bring these documents to him. I don’t have time.”
Serena handed them to Luca, who had no choice but to take them and headed toward the office.
After Luca finished reporting his work, he gave the documents Serena had handed him to Cristian.
“Sir, this is the information that assistant Serena asked me to give you.”
Hearing the information, Cristian raised his head, “What did you say?”
“It’s strange. She should be in the hospital right now, but I saw her at work just now. Sir, if you have nothing else, I’m going out.”
After Luca was gone, Cristian’s hand holding the pen tightened slightly, frowning.
Shouldn’t this damn woman still be in the hospital? Why was she here?
Thinking about this, Cristian put the pen down in his hand and pushed the wheelchair toward the door.
Serena typed the last line of words, saved the data, and clicked to print. Suddenly she heard a cold voice as she intended to get up.
“Why are you here?”
Serena stood still for a moment and looked to the side at the source of the sound.
Cristian sat there, looking at her calmly.
Meeting his deep eyes, Serena paused, and then explained, “I don’t have any problem. I’m fine, and so I left the hospital.”
“You have nothing wrong?” Cristian narrowed his eyes, and his breath suddenly became sharp: “Didn’t the doctor tell you to stay there for two days? Don’t your ears work?”
Serena bit her lower lip and clenched her fist, “Mr. Cristian, don’t you need to say that? The doctor has allowed my discharge, and it means I don’t have any serious health problems.”
Cristian’s thin lips tightened tightly, and he grinned widely.
“Yes, a woman like you maybe even pretending to be sick. How could you let yourself be sick?”
Having said that, Cristian did not wait for Serena’s reaction, and turned around turning his wheelchair to leave.
His words angered her, and she went after him clenching her fists.
“If you think I’m pretending to be sick, why did you take me to the hospital? Isn’t that in contrast?”
Cristian’s movements stopped, followed by his gaze and his voice cold as hell.
“Next time you can die far away. Don’t die at the company door, and I won’t even take a look at you.”
Serena was speechless, biting her lower lip.
Cristian walked away, and Serena’s shoulders shook with anger.
Eventually, she lowered her eyes, and the whole figure was like a deflated ball.
Let it go. Just remember what kind of person he was, and stop having hopes.
Serena calmly took out the printed materials, stapled them up and put them in the folder.
Coming almost to the end of the work, Alice called her and told her that she had prepared chicken soup for her, and wanted to come and see her and asked if she could come down and bring it up.
Serena felt Alice’s generosity, and thinking that it is almost end of work and having no problem if she goes up now. So, she got off the elevator and took Alice to the office where she was working.
“I never thought, Serena, that I could come to the Ferrari group one day.”
“Coming here… is that a strange thing?”
“The Ferrari group is the most powerful in this city and most people don’t have the chance to come here. Even my brother could not have the opportunity to come, because there is no cooperation between us. But I came here today because of you.” Hugging her arms, Alice said happily.
“This is the chicken broth I asked the chef to make for you. He told me it is great for pregnant women. There are many ingredients, although I can’t name them, but the chef knows everything. This will be good for you. Have some.”
Alice opened the thermos and poured a bowl of soup for Serena.
The thick aroma of the broth filled the room in an instant, and Serena suddenly had a big appetite, so she immediately took a few sips.
“Alice, thank you.”
“Don’t thank me all the time. We’re friends. Right… where is Mr. Cristian’s office?” Alice rubbed her hands together and said with a smile, “Can I visit him?”
Hearing this, Serena showed an embarrassed expression.
Visiting Cristian’s office? That was really brave. Serena thought as she raised her eyebrows, “Alice, maybe you couldn’t visit him. Mr. Cristian has a bad temper. If he finds out, he might…”
“Oh, don’t be afraid. I won’t let you into the matter. You can take the broth slowly here, and I will look for it myself.”
Alice quickly left without waiting for Serena to stop her.
Serena was so nervous that she did not even dare to finish the broth in her hand. She put down the bowl and followed her.
Alice walked very fast and arrived immediately in front of the office, and then she stuck to the door to sneak a look at Cristian inside.
