Chapter 188
Chapter 188: Looking for someone to follow me?
Mariana raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror.
If he hadn't gotten this job on his own ability, what he had said to Elisa today seemed ridiculous. Mariana smiled, but her eyes were full of tears.
Mariana returned to her seat and got to work.
Nuria looked at Mariana with confusion, sensing that she had changed after a phone call.
She was about to ask a question, but was stopped by Leonor.
In the end, he asked nothing and continued working.
Because of the conversation she overheard in the bathroom that day, Mariana did her job seriously, regardless of what Elisa did on purpose. Every day, Mariana returned to the villa very late.
That day, after finishing her work, Mariana returned home exhausted.
However, she was perplexed when she opened the door and saw the light on in the living room. Unexpectedly, she saw Leopoldo sitting on the sofa.
He stared at the computer in front of him and his eyes were full of indifference.
Mariana looked at Leopoldo, said nothing and turned around to go upstairs.
But then Carmen saw her and said with a smile:
-Señorita Ortiz, you are finally back, Señor Durán has been waiting for you here for a long time. It is really worrying that you come back so late every day. Carmen glanced at Leopoldo and then at Mariana, and spoke:
-Well, Miss Ortiz is back, so I'm going back to my room.
After saying this, Carmen returned to her room.
At that point, there were only the two of them left in the room.
Thinking about what Carmen had just said, Mariana approached Leopoldo and asked:
-Are you waiting for me?
However, the next moment, Leopoldo hit Mariana's body with a folder. She frowned and said nothing, picking up the folder on the floor.
Inside were some photos. In which she and Xavier were eating in a restaurant.
Looking at the photos, Mariana's hands trembled.
-Are you looking for someone to follow me?
Hearing this, Leopoldo closed the computer in front of him and stood up.
-I also want to ask you, does he come home so late during this period, is it just to be with him?
The words were full of mockery.
Mariana looked at Leopoldo in disbelief, took half a step back and asked with a smile.
-Do you really think so?
Mariana's eyes were full of sadness, and at the sight of her eyes, Leopoldo's heart fluttered.
-Were they talking about work? Do you come home so late these days it's for work? Do you find those words credible?
Leopoldo frowned and asked.
Mariana felt tired, physically and mentally.
-I don't care what you think.
After saying that, Mariana turned around and wanted to go back to her room.
However, Leopoldo stopped her, pinched her neck and lifted her head forcefully so that her eyes looked directly at him.
This proximity made Mariana uncomfortable, but she could not push Leopoldo away.
After all, the difference between the strength of a man and that of a woman was very great.
-Let go of me...
Hearing Mariana's low, husky voice, Leopoldo did not let go.
-You are now my wife, please remember who you are now and don't do anything to damage my identity.
After saying that, Leopoldo abruptly let go of her hand.
Mariana fell to the ground.
Leopoldo looked at her with indifference.
He then returned to his room.
Mariana, who was sitting on the floor, had a sad face.
After a few days, as what Ana said, both people from her company and Diana came to Elamorad Company, ready to discuss cooperation. What surprised Mariana was that Leopoldo and his assistant also came, but not many people saw them.
Behind the crowd, Mariana saw her former director standing next to Elisa, she felt very happy.
Then she saw Ana, who was waving and smiling at her, and looked at her lips, she was saying "wait for me", Mariana smiled and nodded. Only when everyone disappeared down the hallway did the design team let out a sigh of relief and returned to their seats to continue working. Seeing such a scene, Mariana showed admiration to Elisa.
In fact, under Elisa's management, the design department was more cohesive than other departments in the company, and had the appearance of being the important department in the company. But soon after, Ana arrived at Mariana's side.
Smiling at the people around her, Mariana pulled Ana toward the stairs and asked her:
-Have you finished your work?
