Please behave My Lord

Chapter 190: I don't need her

After being stunned for a moment, Mariana spoke softly:

-I'm fine, let me go.

She suddenly remembered the conversation she overheard in the bathroom that day and felt a little uncomfortable.

He raised his head and looked at Leopoldo, his eyes full of pain.

Mariana struggled to free herself from Leopoldo's hand and took a step back and looked at Leopoldo.

His body began to tremble.

-Mr. Durán, what are you doing? Do you think you are taking care of me? I am not. You are my boss in the company, I don't need your sudden and specious concern like this, I don't need it. Mariana raised her hands, trying to express something, but in the end, she lowered them.

-I thought I got this job on my own abilities, but everything that happened later at the company reminded me that I didn't get it on my own. Do you know what kind of life I'm really living at the company? Mariana raised her head and looked at Leopoldo with indifference.

-You don't know.

Although Mariana was smiling, you could feel her sadness.

-You only believe those you see with your own eyes.

The pictures of her and Xavier, the attitudes Elisa had towards her and Diana's disguised softness... these were the things Leopoldo was willing to believe. After saying this, Mariana left.

Leopoldo looked at the hand hanging at his side and unconsciously grabbed it, as if the touch of Mariana's wrist was still in his hand.

The assistant looked at Diana, who was walking towards Leopoldo, and finally turned to Mariana.

-Ma'am?

Mariana stopped.

When the assistant arrived at Mariana's side, he saw a face full of sadness.

Pursing his lips, Lionel said:

-You can get this job not only because of Mr. Duran's help, but also because of your own ability.

However, Mariana did not want to believe Lionel's words.

-Mr. Durán did not find anyone to follow you, those photos were given to me by an editor, and then Mr. Durán saw them.

The assistant continued:

-But, because of his reputation, Mr. Durán bought those photos, that reporter who took the photos wanted to make rumors about Mr. Bolaño. Mariana turned her head, looked at Lionel, frowned and asked.

-Is it really like that? -Mariana asked cautiously.

Mariana no longer knew who she should trust.

-Yes, Mr. Durán did not want to hurt you.

Speaking of which, Lionel sighed.

There wasn't much I could do to help them.

-Then I'm leaving.

Lionel turned and walked away.

After staying in the same place for a long time, Mariana returned to her job.

Diana smiled and reached Leopoldo's side, approached him and took his hand, she asked:

-Leo, why are you here?

Leopoldo came to and took his hand out of Diana's hand.

There was a strange feeling in Leopoldo's heart.

-We are leaving.

The two left the company.

Diana looked at Leopoldo's back and then glanced in the direction in which Mariana had left with a fierce look.

"I don't let something like that happen again."

After everyone left, the office area of the design department became quiet again. Mariana continued to sort through the documents. Nuria approached Mariana and said:

-Mariana saw the design you sent me, then she also sent it to Elisa and she thought it was good.

Hearing this, Mariana was very happy:

-Really? Thank you, Nuria.

I knew Nuria should have mixed his work with hers, but what I didn't expect was that Elisa would be okay with it.

However, Elisa should have seen that the design came from two different people.

With a frown, Mariana fell into deep reflection.

Seeing her like this, Nuria said:

-Mariana, don't think too much, your work is so good that it should be selected.

-It looks like this collaboration is for you, a big part of this new product launch was designed by you.

The words were full of appreciation.

Although there were still some doubts in her heart, Mariana gave Nuria a smile.

If it wasn't for Nuria's help, I would be very busy every day and wouldn't have time to design.

-Okay, I'm going to work.

After saying this, Nuria returned to her own desk.

Mariana picked up the smile on her face and continued working.
