Chapter 57: How ridiculous she was!
Serena left the office and returned to her seat. After sitting down, she realized that the fingers of the hand that held the mouse were shaking noticeably.
What was happening to her? Shouldn’t she have gotten used to Cristian’s words? She already knew that Cristian had a very bad impression of her.
But she could not stop herself from thinking so much. If he really hated her so much, why did he always help her?
All the scenes were being filmed in Serena’s head.
But they had all ended unpleasantly, and ended by Cristian’s cruel words, like what he had just said….
Serena lowered her head, with a clear contempt for herself.
How ridiculous she was! If Cristian really wanted to help her, he would not have said those words that hurt her in front of so many people. What he said was true, that he was the one who decided not to cooperate with the Romano group. He helped her in the clothing store because he did not want her to shame the Ferrari family.
It was she… who had thought too much.
Suddenly she felt a pain in her belly, which made Serena pale. She sat up straight and rubbed her belly, suddenly remembering something.
Now she was pregnant!
She had not been nauseous for the past few days, so she had completely forgotten about the baby, otherwise she would not have drunk alcohol last night.
Too careless! Serena got up and went to get a glass of warm water, but the pain did not go away. It was not very serious, but she continued to feel sick. She sat for a while, thinking that there was no longer a tendency for the pain to worsen, and she thought nothing would happen.
Unexpectedly, in the afternoon the pain worsened, and while Serena hesitated whether to go and ask permission to be absent or not, Luke came looking for her.
“Serena, this is the project plan for the planning department. Bring it down.”
“All right,” she took it with great force.
It was at that moment that Luca realized Serena’s face was so pale, looking like she was sick. He frowned, “Serena, you don’t look good. Are you sick?”
Hearing this, Serena shook her head, “I’m fine.”
“Are you sure?” Luca asked her with great doubt, “Your lips are very white.”
Hearing this, she pulled out her lipstick to put makeup on her lips.
Even worse! She looked sick before, but putting on the lipstick, the fiery red on her lips and her pale face made a clear comparison, which made her look extremely scary.
“I’m going down now.” Serena put the lipstick away, stood up with the document, and moved forcefully toward the elevator.
Looking at this scene, Luca was speechless. What was she doing? Obviously she was uncomfortable, but she was necessarily saying she was fine. What was wrong with her?
Luca returned to the office, informed Cristian about the process of his work, but suddenly remembered Serena.
He told Cristian without thinking, “I just saw Serena. She looks like she is not very well.”
After hearing this, Cristian’s hand holding a pen stopped briefly, without realizing it himself.
“But I asked her, and she said she was fine. No one knows what was happening to her. She doesn’t say anything even if she feels sick?”
Luca talked to himself for a long time. He stopped when he saw that no one answered him. He looked at Cristian, who had a cold look that fell on his face.
“Don’t you have anything to do?”
Faced with this look, Luca’s heart pounded, and he suddenly realized that he was too involved in his own business. He touched his head awkwardly. “No, no, I…”
“If you’re done, get out of here. Don’t interrupt my work.”
Without waiting for Luca to give him an explanation, Cristian ordered him to leave.
Luca did not dare to disobey; he simply turned and left the office.
When Serena returned from the planning department, she felt even worse. It seemed that the pain in her belly was getting worse and worse. She wanted to go to Cristian to ask permission to be absent, but thinking of his cold face and merciless words, the idea faded.
He was already displeased with her. If she had asked his permission, would he have refused her anyway?
There was only one hour left to finish today’s work, she had to hold on a little longer.
Eventually, Serena felt so much pain that she leaned over the desk, almost fainting. Fortunately, in that hour, Cristian did not order her to do anything, so she could rest peacefully.
She finally held out until the end time of work, and as soon as she tried to leave, she met Cristian coming out of his office at the same time. Serena ignored him as if she had not seen him. She waited for the next elevator.
Finally she got into the elevator. Serena got out and reached the company door, but the pain in her belly was like a needle prick, and Serena could not help but squat on the floor.
It was really painful.
She squatted on the side of the road, and already called Alice on her cell phone.
“Serena?”
“Alice…” Serena’s weak voice startled Alice. “What happened?”
“My… stomach hurts. I’m in front of the company. Can you…”
“Wait for me. I’m coming now.”
Serena wanted to say something else, but call had already ended there quickly. She stared at the cell phone screen for a long time, and lifted her pale lips.
She could imagine Alice had turned hastily, grabbing the car key and flying toward her.
This woman…
She was generous!
After hanging up, knowing that Alice was on her way, Serena became calmer. But still she was sweating a lot from the pain in her belly.
She didn’t know how long it had been since Alice had yet to show up, and her belly hurt so much that Serena couldn’t take it no more. At this moment, a familiar car had parked in front of her.
Serena heard the car door open, thought it was Alice, raised her head with a faint laugh. But seeing the person, the laughter stopped.
Cristian?
Why was he here?
“What happened?” Cristian’s gaze fell on her, and he asked coldly.
Serena’s lips parted, trying to say something. But the pain in her belly increased, turning her words into a scream of pain. The color of Cristian’s deep eyes changed a little and he ordered Luca, “Get her into the car.”
Luca went to help Serena into the car, and closed the car door.
“Serena, your face looks very bad. Why didn’t you say anything when I asked if you were okay?” asked Luca.
Hearing this, Cristian looked at her.
Her small face was colorless and her forehead was covered with thick sweat, indicating the long duration of her severe pain.
“I… am fine,” Serena replied weakly. At that moment her cell phone rang. She wanted to pull it out, but darkness suddenly appeared before her eyes, causing her to fall forward.
“Serena!”
