Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

“He’s not here yet, sit down, it’s time for dinner, we’ll order in the meantime.”

Anna asked her to sit next to her. Serena sat down and glanced at the time. It was half past six. It was still an hour and a half until eight o’clock. Time should be enough no?

Seeing her appearance, Anna could not help but ask, “Are you in a hurry? What other commitments do you have?”

Serena explained to Anna what else was going on that evening.

“Why didn’t you tell me, if I had known, I would have let you go, here I’m enough.”

“I’m here now, there’s no point in talking about it now.”

“What do you mean there’s no point? Why don’t you change your dress now and come back? Otherwise, it will affect your relationship.”

“It’s okay, I told him I would go as soon as I could, the party will only start at eight o’clock, I will stay here with you and have dinner until seven, I have plenty of time to come back.”

After hearing those words, Anna was relieved. “Well, let’s order in the meantime, the vice president said he would be here in ten minutes, he said we can order in the meantime.”

“Okay.” Serena nodded and ordered two dishes with Anna. In fact, she had no worries at all. Initially, she was a little worried, but now she was focused on Cristian, and she did not care much about this matter.

What Cristian said before he left really affected her.

Ten minutes later, Leonardo finally arrived. He seemed to have dressed especially for the date. He wore a white suit and his tie was particularly neat and clean. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he attracted the attention of many women.

Serena and Anna heard the women at the next table.

“Who is that man? He is so handsome.”

“Don’t look at him, a man like that is surely already engaged. He will never be ours.”

“Hey, which one will be his girlfriend?”

“I think it’s the younger, beautiful one.”

“No, it must be the one in blue. They have the same temperament. That makes sense doesn’t it?”

Serena: “…”

She hated such gossipy people, she would very much like to answer him that none of them is Leonardo’s girlfriend.

Anna whispered in her ear and said, “Can’t these people keep their voices down when they talk about others? We can hear everything.”

If they had heard everything, Leonardo must have heard everything, too.

Leonardo sat down across from them. His gaze passed quickly past Anna and fell on Serena’s face, “Sorry, there was a lot of traffic, that’s why I’m late.”

“No problem.” Anna waved her hand with a smile, Serena on the other hand was calm.

The people from the next table started talking again.

“See, she said hello to him, I said she was his girlfriend.”

“Are you stupid? He is clearly looking at the girl in the blue dress, and then what does getting so worked up have to do with being engaged. If they were engaged, there would be no need, it would be a more unspoken thing.”

Serena acted as if she had not heard. After all, she could not control what others said.

They were silent for a moment, and Serena suddenly said, “Leonardo, what is the result of the investigation? What did you find out?”

Leonardo looked at her, he had a concentrated look, his voice was soft and serious, “So that’s what you want. We’ll talk about it after dinner.”

“But…” Serena was worried. As soon as she opened her mouth, she felt Anna’s hand give her a tug under the table. She looked at Anna and realized that she was worried. Leonardo was there to help her, not because he owed her anything. Since she still had time, waiting a little did not change anything. After all, they had all found traffic and no one had eaten yet.

She would have been better off eating with him.

Serena said no more. She ate quietly with them, and occasionally could be heard talking at the next table.

Leonardo put a piece of meat on her plate. Serena was stunned. Before she could react, she heard a shout from the adjacent table, “See how I guessed? He passed food to the girl in the blue skirt. They are really engaged.”

Another dissatisfied voice said, “Since when does sharing food mean being engaged? Maybe it’s just being hospitable.”

“You’re really good!”

Serena looked at the meat in front of her. Her thoughts became somber. She felt that Leonardo was acting as if to confirm what they were saying at the next table. He had definitely heard the girls at the next table; he was acting that way intentionally.

Even though Serena knew he was probably making too much trouble for nothing, she subconsciously felt. She was doing it on purpose to have misunderstandings created.

So Serena did not move the cutlery and ate only the meat in front of her.

Leonardo did not feel embarrassed. He was very calm. At the next table they continued to talk, but Serena did not mind.

After they ate quietly, Anna looked at the time, worried about Serena, and then asked, “Vice President Ferrari, what can you tell us about the matter I asked you to investigate?”

Leonardo raised his hand and looked at the time. His eyes fell on Serena’s face. She looked very anxious. She had been anxious since he had walked in.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

He could probably understand why.

Thinking about this, Leonardo smiled and whispered, “Don’t worry, the survey results are ready, but I asked my secretary to rearrange them for me before I came in, so you may have to wait a while. Why? Do you have anything else to do in the evening?”

Hearing this, Anna’s expression changed. She looked at Serena with embarrassment. Without waiting for her to speak, Serena said, “It’s not urgent, but it’s getting late. We don’t want to bother you to stay until so late.”

“Never mind. I’m done with work. I’m always free in the evening.” Said Leonardo. After that, he suddenly said, “By the way, if it gets too late and it’s dangerous, I’ll drive you home.”

Anna: “Vice President Ferrari, Serena lives far from here. If you already know the results, could you tell us now?”

“It’s complicated, it’s a bit difficult to report verbally, I mean, it’s better to wait for my secretary to come.”

“How about Serena leaves and I’ll stay here?”

Hearing this, Leonardo probably understood. He looked at Serena, “Do you have other plans tonight?”

Serena did not deny it. She nodded, “Well, I have a commitment at eight o’clock, so…. I’m sorry.”

“Eight?” Leonardo thought a little, and said, “Are you talking about the party?”

Serena was surprised, “Did you know?”

“But what a coincidence, I had been invited to the party too, if you hadn’t told me I would have forgotten…”

“So you could go together later?”

Talking about this, Anna fi excited. She was no longer afraid of possible delays, as they both had to hurry to the party. Leonardo could not be late either.
