Chapter 181: Important Person
Rafael got up and leaned against the car, he had no intention of leaving. As he saw more and more people approaching, he smiled. He had been ordered to make a scene here. -Go and bring Mariana here," ordered the cold man in the office.
Hearing this, Elisa looked at Lionel standing next to her and answered yes. Her heart was filled with jealousy.
Lionel appeared at the entrance, someone recognized him.
-It is Mr. Castro
-It's been a while since I've seen you at the company. Why are you here today?
-What are you doing?
Mr. Castro made his way through the crowd and walked towards Mariana.
-The company is having a cocktail party, come with me.
Hearing the words, Mariana turned and saw Lionel. She frowned and was puzzled. The man in front of her said indifferently:
-Please.
With a returning expression, Mariana followed him and entered the company.
However, Rafael was stopped by security guards and could not enter at all.
Nuria and Leonor were puzzled when they saw Mariana leave. In the end, these two also left.
Soon after, all the people at the entrance dispersed.
Mariana entered the elevator with Lionel. There were only the two of them in the elevator, and at this moment, Mariana couldn't help but ask: -Why are you here?
He was Leopoldo's assistant, an important person in Grupo Durán, why was he here?
-Madam, or you will know in a moment.
After saying this, Lionel stopped talking.
Soon, the two arrived at Señor Castro's office.
This "Mr. Castro" who rarely appeared in the company was Leopoldo's assistant, Lionel.
"Now we're going to see who?"
"It could be..."
At the thought of this possibility, Mariana's heart beat rapidly. The office door opened and Mariana looked inside.
She got it right.
That familiar yet unfamiliar figure was standing in front of the window at that moment, his back to her and with coldness emanating from his body that made one dare not approach. It was Leopoldo.
Repressing the complex emotions in her heart, Mariana entered and stood behind Lionel.
Elisa was also here.
-Leave the office.
Leopoldo ordered and continued to look out the window without turning around.
Elisa looked at Mariana and finally left the office with Lionel.
After closing the door, Mariana felt the atmosphere in the room become heavier and she felt very uneasy.
The oppressive atmosphere of the office made it difficult for Mariana to breathe, and after a while, she asked: -Why are you here?
The man turned around, looked at Mariana with indifference and smiled, his words full of mockery:
-What? Did I disturb you? After all, receiving a bouquet of roses every day is quite romantic, isn't it?
Leopoldo approached Mariana. Stretching out one hand, he pinched her chin hard:
-But, this is my office. Next time you can find another place to hook up with another man.
Mariana's face turned red and she felt very angry when she heard Leopoldo's words. Her heart was beating fast with anger.
Mariana took half a step back and shook her head, breaking free from Leopoldo's grip.
-I have done nothing of the sort, I expect you to respect me and not talk nonsense.
It didn't feel good to be humiliated, and not to mention the person was Leopoldo.
-If you don't have other things, then I'm leaving, it's time to get off work.
When she turned around, Mariana was about to leave.
However, she was arrested by Leopoldo:
-I need you to accompany me to attend an activity.
Mariana frowned and turned around, looking at Leopoldo, her eyes full of doubt. -What can I do to help you?
Mariana did not believe the words of the man in front of her.
-I need you to go to an auction with me as my wife," he said in an affirmative tone.
Leopoldo's words made Mariana lose her concentration.
-The clothes you need are here, change in the break room, then we'll leave.
Leopoldo looked at the black box on the table, walked over to the sofa and sat down.
Mariana was paralyzed.
-You only have ten minutes.
Hearing Leopoldo's cold words, Mariana rushed to embrace the large black box and entered the rest room. When she reached the rest room, Mariana opened the box and saw a dress. This dress was red and very dazzling, when Mariana saw this dress, she was stunned.
