Chapter 133: Worse than strangers
Chapter 133: Worse than strangers
Alice could not believe what she saw.
The details of the person listed were those of Cristian.
So she and Serena searched for a stranger for so long, only to find out that none other than Cristian.
The father of the baby had always been by her side, but she did not know that, and neither did Cristian.
How had this happened?
WOW.
The sound of water in the bathroom suddenly stopped. Alice suddenly recovered, and Matteo had
finished bathing. If she had stayed there any longer, he would have discovered her.
Thinking of this, Alice quickly put the papers inside the bag. However, she was in a hurry, when she put
the papers back into the bag and was about to leave, her sleeve accidentally knocked his cell phone off
the table.
Bang!
The sound of the cell phone falling was very loud. When she picked up the cell phone to put it back, the
bathroom door opened.
Alice stopped and turned to look in the direction of the bathroom.
Matteo had just taken a bath. His strong body was still wet with clear water. His dark hair was slightly
wet on his forehead. And his dark eyes on his cold face stared at Alice.
He did not speak. And his thin lips were tense, and his eyes fell on Alice's face.
Alice's heart was beating fast, and her eyes turned away from Matteo.
This attitude was wrong. Alice pulled her lips together and extended a hand to greet Matteo, "Matteo..."
Alice felt her voice trembling.
Matteo did not speak. His eyes gradually lowered and he looked at her hand.
Alice was startled and unconsciously brought her hand behind her, but soon realized she was doing it
wrong and quickly reached for his cell phone.
"I'm sorry, Matteo. I accidentally dropped your cell phone just now and it fell to the ground. I don't know
if it's broken..." Alice said softly, suppressing the irritated mood inside her.
Matteo seemed indifferent, rubbed his hair with a towel, walked toward her with straight legs. Alice felt
as if crushed by the seriousness emanating from his body.
She heard only his cold voice, "Didn't I tell you that without my permission you could not enter my
room?"
Alice's expression changed.
"Matteo, I didn't want to... I heard you were taking a bath and I wanted to... come in and wait for you."
Saying this, Alice was so nervous that she burst into tears, and looked pitifully at Matteo. "I won't do it
again."
Alice put down his cell phone and made to leave.
Matteo stopped her and said, "Wait a moment."
Alice stood still in panic.
Alice felt a sharp look behind her and he asked, "What's the matter?"
Alice blinked, took a deep breath and said slowly, "There is no problem. You simply just returned from
abroad. I missed you, so I wanted to come and see if you were sleeping. I..." She began to speak
incoherently. Alice hated that situation, but she could fake it well. However, every time she looked at
Matteo's eyes, it was as if he could see inside her. She felt like an open book and that he would
discover her every lie.
Moreover, she was guilty, so she could not look Matteo in the face.
Matteo said no more and his eyes fell on the paper envelope. When he was about to take it, he saw Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
that it had been opened, so he narrowed his eyes.
"Did you read what it says?"
Alice turned pale when he asked, and denied, "No, no, Matteo, I just walked in and saw your cell phone
light up. I accidentally dropped it."
Matteo: "..."
She raised her eyelids and gave a giggle so that only he could hear it.
"Really?" He asked.
Alice's heart pounded, "Matteo, is that very important information? I would never touch your things. You
know I have always behaved well. If there is no problem, I would go back to my room."
Matteo looked at her, "Don't you want to know what's inside?"
"We will talk about this tomorrow. Now you will be very tired. You need to rest!"
With what she said, Alice left the room.
Matteo looked at her coldly, opened the envelope, glanced at the data and then threw it on the table.
After a while, something occurred to him. He took out a folded A4 sheet of paper from his suit pocket
and opened it. There was a picture on it. Although the woman smiled, he could not hide the coldness in
her eyes. The indifference in her gaze made her look different from ordinary people.
Who was she... why was she so similar to the person he remembered?

When Serena came home in the evening, she washed the coat Anna had lent her, dried it and took it to
the company's finance department the next day.
Anna looked proud when she went to return the clothes.
"Now I can tell you. I didn't lend you my clothes to help you. I didn't want you to seduce Cristian!"
Serena felt that the person in front of her was cold in the face and warm in the soul. She nodded, "Yes,
I know."
Anna saw that she was still smiling and narrowed her eyes, "What's wrong with you? Despite what I
just told you, you didn't get angry?"
Serena smiled and said, "Because I know you helped me. Thank you for yesterday, otherwise I really
wouldn't have known what to do."
Anna: "What are you thanking me for? If you have nothing to do, leave now!"
Serena left. When she entered the elevator, she met Cristian who was going upstairs. Their gazes met.
Before Serena looked away, Cristian had already looked away first.
The cold breath coming from his body almost froze her. Serena entered before the elevator closed. She
felt cold in her neck and arms as soon as she entered.
What she was wearing today was a green sleeveless suit, which matched her skin, but her soft arms
were exposed, which made it disagreeable to Cristian's sight.
This damn woman was wearing more and more provocative clothes!
"Assistant Gallo."
Luca greeted Serena.
Serena nodded to him, then stood aside without speaking.
Luca noticed that the moment Serena arrived, Cristian's breathing became colder, filling the small
space of the elevator. When he saw Serena, he turned without looking at her again.
What was the problem? Were they not on good terms at the restaurant yesterday? What could have
happened in only one night...?
