Chapter 179: Jealousy
-Let go of me! I don't know you.
Mariana was disgusted that the man was still clutching her arm, a touch that made her feel nothing but rage.
-Mariana, don't be like that, today I came for you, I shouldn't have rejected you at the hotel that day, if you want to call me next time, you can call me, I won't reject you again, and I don't care if you have a husband, ok?
Shouts rang out from a distance, the crowd more than surprised by the sudden and shocking gossip, more surprised than they had been by the intimacy Diana had shown Mariana that morning. -Mariana, I don't want you to get angry, and since you don't want to see me, I'll leave and come back another time.
Pushing the bouquet of roses in his hands into Mariana's arms, Rafael's face was full of aggression as he turned and walked away without stopping again.
Mariana took the flowers in her hands to the trash can and threw them away mercilessly.
However, in the eyes of the crowd, it was like a girlfriend still having a tantrum and refusing to forgive him.
Nuria had witnessed it all and looked at Mariana, but she didn't know what to say, and only after a long while she let out a sigh.
-Mariana, there are things that cannot be done.
Nuria's face was full of concern and she looked at her as if looking at a lost child, held out her hand and patted her shoulder with some heaviness, and left with other colleagues.
Mariana stood there for a long time with her face still bad, but in the end she could do nothing and left with a frown on her face.
But when she got home, Mariana still didn't understand what Rafael was doing.
However, when she left work the next day, she didn't expect him to be waiting in front of the company again, and when Rafael saw her leave, he had a smile on his face. She placed the bouquet of roses in her hand in Mariana's arms and spoke with a smile:
-Mariana, do you have time today? Shall we have dinner together?
When some of the girls saw Rafael so attentive and handsome, they couldn't help but show envy on their faces.
The rumors continued. Behind them sounded countless noisy murmurs, a new version of the story came out of everyone's mouth.
Her eyes filled with anger Mariana threw the bouquet to the ground, looked at it and spoke in a cold voice:
-Sir, I don't know you, and I still hope you don't show up in front of me again, this has already caused a disruption in my life, if there is another time, I will call the police.
After saying this, he left, but there were some girls who were going to ask for Rafael's number and he couldn't follow her.
However, all this was seen through Leopold's cold eyes. Anger stirred and stirred in them.
-What's going on here?
Elisa stepped forward and stood next to Leopoldo looking at the scene below, she spoke in a low voice:
-This man has been here for days, he seems to be Mariana's suitor.
-How is Mariana doing at the company?
At these words, Elisa's heart fluttered and she raised her head to look at the tall man standing next to her with a frown on his face, who was still staring soberly at the woman who was slowly walking away, so focused that he himself did not notice.
Her heart seemed to tear apart instantly, the pain spreading to all her limbs, leaving Elisa with nothing but a fist in both hands, using the sharp pain against her to suppress the resentment in her heart and some emotions she really didn't want to admit.
-Mariana is capable and has creative ideas, but she doesn't seem to take things seriously, she talks a lot to the people around her, she doesn't get along with some people, she is too emotional and her personal life doesn't seem to be okay.
As gently as possible, Elisa spoke about Mariana, her words seemed pertinent.
The wrinkle between his brows deepened as Leopoldo withdrew his gaze and sat back down behind his desk.
Although the Elamorad company was owned by him, but the nominal boss was his assistant Lionel Castro, and the place where the two of them were now meeting was Mr. Castro's office. -What happened to the company last time, I hope it will be the last time, look for someone to improve the company's image as soon as possible.
-Yes.
Elisa nodded and accepted it, then thought of something and spoke hesitantly:
-Directors from all departments of the company met and unanimously chose Diana, the hottest celebrity at the moment, as the promoter of this season's new products.
After saying this, Elisa couldn't help but raise her eyes slightly and look at Leopoldo's expression, but in the end there was nothing and he was still cold as always. His heart was flooded with complicated emotions of loss or joy, which made Elisa a little distracted.
-You can decide this matter, yourselves, after sales, let Lionel come in.
-Yes.
With a last greedy glance at Leopoldo, Elisa slowly walked out.
Even as close as she was with him, she still felt that this man was too far away to reach.
Lionel walked through the door and approached the man.
Carefully raising his eyes to glance at his boss, his heart pounded with unease, what had just happened outside had caused a stir and he had seen it.
-One still doesn't get enough of a lesson.
The cold, hard words caused him to be shocked.
These words then referred to Rafael, who had just annoyed Mariana.
The last time Leopoldo instructed him on this matter, he only did a little to make Rafael go broke, but this guy dared to mess with the boss's wife again.
