Chapter 177: Entering the scene
That last sentence sounded like a question.
Serena did not know if she was the one who felt wrong, because she had never seen this excited look from Alice.
After a while, Serena looked at her.
“Alice, what’s wrong?”
Hearing these words, Alice suddenly came back to herself, realizing that she had been overly emotional.
She shook her head and then sneered.
“Aren’t you embarrassed to ask me what’s wrong? Why am I constantly at your service, seeking the truth for you? Might it not be because I hope you can come out of this sea of suffering as soon as possible? He is already standing in front of you, but you dare not say a word or admit it. I really don’t know what you are thinking. So, I just want to know if you like Cristian.”
“Actually, I don’t know either.” Serena lowered her gaze, very downcast, “I guess I shouldn’t like him, but…”
Seeing her unsure expression, Alice faltered for a moment. Did Serena fall in love with Cristian?
“But what? Don’t you realize that he doesn’t like you?”
By the time Alice came to her senses, the words had exploded from her mouth and it was too late to take them back.
Fortunately, Serena did not pay too much attention to his emotionality, but she was hurt by her words and then nodded with a bitter smile.
“You’re right. I can see perfectly well that he doesn’t like me.”
Not only did he not like her, he hated her.
Thinking about it, Serena grew gloomy little by little, going into chaos.
“Sorry, I didn’t say that intentionally. Don’t be sad…”
“It’s nothing. Let’s go inside.” Serena took Alice to her office, and after sitting down, Alice did not hold back and opened the box, discovering that there was a blue dress inside.
“This dress is beautiful! By the way, it was designed by a famous Italian designer and was auctioned for a million.”
Serena shuddered, looking at the dress.
What kind of crazy price was this?
She suddenly thought of the three hundred thousand euros that Leonardo gave her mother, but the dress in front of her was worth a million. Serena can not calm down, stood up and put the dress away.
“What are you doing? This dress is much nicer than the one I gave you. Why don’t you wear it tonight?”
“No.” Serena shook her head, rejecting Alice’s suggestion.”
“This dress is too expensive, a million… I can’t accept it.”
After she finished speaking, Serena stowed the box in her locker, planning to return it to Leonardo.
“Of course you’re just… always rejecting other people’s kindness!”
Time passed very quickly. In the afternoon, Anna came to the company to look for Serena, bringing three people to do their makeup. When Anna saw Alice, her face changed. However, mindful of Serena’s words, she smiled and greeted her.
Alice called the makeup artist directly.

It was the last glow of dusk, then night fell.
The long-awaited Ferrari Group anniversary banquet finally began. After nearly two weeks of meticulous preparation, the attendees, with the exception of Ferrari Group employees, were all first-class guests who came and went with extreme elegance.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Corporate employees wore all kinds of dresses, vying for popularity and wearing extremely heavy make-up on their faces. They stood at the entrance, watching the rich young man and giggling secretly.
A few small groups of men gathered and burst out laughing.
“Look, they’re all like hungry wolves. We look like their prey. If we are not in the public, I’m afraid they would pounce on us to tear us to pieces.”
“Don’t say that. They look hungrier than wolves to me.”
“Look at those women. The foundation on their faces is thick, and the clothes are all flashy, but they are not good-looking nor do they have any temperament. They should not think that by dressing like this they will win our favor, should they?”
“It’s okay to have fun. After all, there may be virgins.”
“Now it’s hard to find those women. Maybe I’d better find some sexy ones…”
Some people were talking and laughing, and the smiles on their faces were especially lewd.
Suddenly, someone grabbed the hand of a man.
“‘Fabio, I find the goal.'”
“Where?”
The others followed his gaze.
Three slender figures approached this way.
Anna wore a rainbow dress with a mermaid skirt. There was a radiant smile on her beautiful face. And Alice was next to her. She wore a white sheath dress with beautiful pearls inlaid on it and her skin was fair. The smile on her face naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Serena, on the other hand, was wearing that red dress. Because of the V-neck design, she wore a light-colored and sheer shawl before going out. But the shawl could not cover her exquisiteness at all. She was very elegant.
This way of appearance made her even more seductive.
She walked very unnaturally, because she felt that she would be under observation with every step she took. Even though she was already wearing a shawl, Serena still felt very uncomfortable.
Her face was innocent, especially those cold eyes that attracted no small amount of attention.
“Bro, the green dress next to it is not bad. She looks quite hot and her smile is dazzling!”
“I think the one in white is not bad. She looks good and I think she is the daughter of the Giordano family, right? The Giordano family is different from the others.”
“Don’t tell me. I was lucky enough to meet Mrs. Giordano before. I think this daughter of hers is ugly. She hasn’t inherited half of Mrs. Giordano’s charm at all”
“On the contrary, the one next to her walks unnaturally, but she has charm, not to mention her eyes as blue as the sea! Ah, I’m going to end up falling in love!”
“Go to hell! How many times do you fall in love a day?”
“I’ve decided, if the woman in red doesn’t have a boyfriend, I’ll court her.”
The three received attention from all directions. Serena was uncomfortable and walked while hiding behind Alice and Anna, letting them resist the various stares.
“She is so shy! I like her…” Fabio, who had just said he was in love, could not help but smile.
