Chapter 197
Chapter 197: Hell
The four of them arrived at a restaurant, and after taking a look at the decorations in front of them, Mariana was in for a surprise.
I didn't expect Diana to like a place with a slight retro tinge, like a product of the 1980s.
Such a decorative style seemed out of place with Diana.
-Let's go.
After looking at Leopoldo and Diana, who were already walking forward, Xavier stretched out his arm and put it in front of Mariana's face, gesturing for her to take it. Mariana looked at Xavier with some helplessness, but still smiled and reached out to take his hand.
Xavier sensed the change in Mariana's mood and the excitement in her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Just as they entered, a waiter approached and entertained the four of them.
-I made a reservation here a few days ago, Miss Solis.
Diana took Leopoldo's arm, looked at the waiter in front of her and spoke with a smile.
The waiter, who wore a standard smile, raised his head, but couldn't help but be taken aback. His face filled with surprise as he spoke with a tremor:
-Are you Diana Solis? May I have your autograph?
The waiter pulled out a pen and handed it to Diana, lifting the hem of his shirt and placing it in front of her.
Diana's face was still kind, she took the waiter's pen and quickly wrote her name on the dress.
-Thank you very much, I will treasure this dress in the future.
The waiter happily held the dress and looked at Diana in front of her, speaking repeatedly to thank her.
-So... Can you arrange the seats for us now?
-Yes, please follow me.
Seeing this scene, Mariana couldn't help but raise her head, looked at the man next to her and, with a bit of mockery, said:
-I didn't expect that one day you would show up outside without being recognized.
Xavier smiled meaningfully as he looked at the woman's smile:
-Naturally, I am now no match for the most famous star.
The words were sarcastic, falling low in Mariana's ears, making her feel a trance.
It was true that Diana's high-profile return to the country and her appearance of perfection, as well as the news that Leopold and Xavier had quarreled over her, had naturally brought her to the pinnacle of perfection, and she was now the goddess of thousands of people's hearts.
The two looked at each other and smiled with slight understanding.
However, this scene fell on the cold eyes in front of them.
Arriving in the private room, the four took their seats.
Naturally, Diana sat down next to Leopoldo, and at that moment she looked at Mariana, who was standing in the doorway with deep-set eyes, the corners of her mouth turned up in a big smile. -Mari, you'd better sit next to me. Then you can also continue explaining the part I didn't understand.
The words fell lightly on Mariana's ears with some enthusiasm.
Mariana did not immediately respond to Diana's words, but glanced slightly sideways at Leopoldo, who was sitting quietly next to Diana.
His face was cold and he didn't even react to Diana's words, as if he hadn't heard them.
Mariana, naturally, did not want to sit next to Diana.
He was hesitating about what excuse to use to refuse when the man next to him spoke softly, his tone full of uncontained laughter.
-Diana, isn't it inappropriate for the two of you to sit together and for Mari to sit there too? It is better if you accompany her to sit here, this table is not too big, so it is convenient to talk. With that, he pulled Mariana to sit across from Leopoldo and Diana.
Leopoldo's cold eyes rested on Xavier's hand holding Mariana. A repressed anger enveloped him.
Mariana's body shuddered as she noticed the look, but she didn't look up, pretending not to know.
After being seated, the waiters began to serve the food one after the other.
Diana looked at Leopoldo with tenderness in her eyes, lifted her small cheeks and said:
-Leo, the soup here is very fresh and delicious, you should drink more. You have worked a lot this time, so you should take care of yourself.
There was a hint of ambiguity in the words, so the movement of Mariana's hands couldn't help but stop for a moment, then returned to normal in an instant.
Xavier looked at Leopoldo, who replied in a cold voice, and then looked at Diana, who was standing very attentively at his side, the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.
Turning her head, she looked tenderly at Mariana and spoke in a soft voice.
-Mari, you've also been very busy lately with the design of the company and you've been working a lot, so you should eat more.
The soft and delicate words of her words were not unlike Diana's emotions right now.
Mari smiled helplessly, but was very cooperative, smiling and saying:
-Good.
Noticing Xavier mimicking herself, Diana's eyes looked slightly unhappy, but they didn't show it, her sonorous mask never fell. Soon, the dishes arrived one after the other.
He took a piece of meat from the plate and placed it gently in Leopoldo's bowl, Diana raised her eyes to look at him softly.
Leopoldo looked at Mariana and Xavier, then picked up the food in front of him and placed it in front of Diana.
This action naturally surprised and delighted Diana, and her smile became even more evident, looking at Mariana, who had a sad face in front of her, and becoming even more smug in her heart. -Thank you, Leo.
Silently withdrawing his hand, Leopold's gaze fell on the woman opposite, given an intimidating feeling impossible to ignore.
Still smiling at this point, Xavier also threw a piece of roast pork and placed it in front of Mariana:
-Eat more, look how thin you've gotten lately.
Then he nodded, indicating to Mariana to eat it.
The gaze that rested on her body burned even more, Mariana's heart trembled with a strange sensation, but in the end, she ducked her head and ate.
