Please behave My Lord

Chapter 199: Anxiety

-Mari, you don't have an umbrella either, do you? In that case, you and Xavier better take this umbrella, and Leo and I can wait a little longer.

Saying this, he kindly handed them the umbrella he was holding and placed it in front of Mariana and Xavier.

Xavier looked at Diana in front of him, observing the smile on her face, as if he wanted to see from the surface to the depths of her soul. He smiled meaningfully, pulled Mariana to help shield her from the storm outside and spoke softly:

-This is a gift from your fans, you should accept it. I will wait here with Mari for a while, and you and Mr. Durán should go first.

With some embarrassment, Diana turned her head to look at Leopoldo and spoke shrewdly:

-Leo, what should we do? Mari is not willing to take my umbrella, then?

He did not finish the words.

-Let's go.

Leopoldo took the lead and moved, passing in front of Mariana and looking straight ahead without stopping in the slightest.

A smile of satisfaction appeared on Diana's face, raising her head like a winner.

Only when the two figures completely disappeared from sight did Mariana come back to her senses, but she only felt a sense of desolation in her heart. She didn't want to get caught up in Diana's drama right now, and she didn't even want to respond to her.

However, Leopoldo's gaze made her feel cold from the bottom of her heart to the outside. Mariana, who was immersed in her own pain, was finally interrupted by some questioning words coming from her side. -Mari, it's cold outside, let's go in first and wait.

The two backs that came out together had completely disappeared, Mariana only felt that the temperature around her was much colder than now, she hesitated for a moment and nodded her head. -Okay.

Xavier let out a slight sigh and took off the jacket he wore to cover Mariana's slender body. The clothes were too roomy for this slender woman.

Xavier felt a sudden tingle in his heart. This excitement could not be repressed, so he turned around and took the lead to walk towards the house.

Mariana wrapped herself tightly in the ample jacket she wore. Her cold heart also seemed to be enveloped by the warmth given off by her clothes, warming up a little.

Without thinking about anything else, Mariana followed Xavier and the two entered the house together.

Leopold and Diana were already seated in the car, looking at Lionel sitting in the driver's seat in front of them, the man's eyes flashed with a touch of deep meaning, and coldness spread through the car. -Go and send these two umbrellas.

The icy words burst from Leopold's lips, falling loudly on Diana and Lionel's ears, making them both startle.

Feeling incredulous, Diana clenched her hands and tried to suppress the anger that was still boiling in her chest.

The assistant at the entrance spoke with some trepidation:

-To whom?

Leopold's cold gaze rested on Lionel, making his body tremble.

Something suddenly came to his mind, and Lionel noticed, nodding repeatedly:

-I know, Sir, I'm leaving now.

After saying this, he opened the car door and anxiously got out, quickly disappearing in the heavy rain.

Lionel was more willing to walk hard in that storm than in the unbearable atmosphere in the car.

He arrived at the restaurant and quickly found Mariana and Xavier, and only then did he understand exactly where Leopoldo's anger was coming from.

Lionel stepped forward and handed the two umbrellas he had brought to Mariana, looking silently at Xavier, who was standing next to her, and the man's jacket covering Mariana. -These are two umbrellas that Mr. Durán asked me to send you, ma'am, you'd better hurry back.

Saying this, he handed the two umbrellas he was holding to Mariana.

Although one umbrella was enough, Lionel understood Leopoldo's intention to ask him to bring two, naturally he wanted Mariana and Xavier to be separated.

He didn't expect such a small detail to come from that cold, icy man, which made Lionel a little surprised.

Lionel finally looked at Mariana, who was staring at the umbrella in her hand, and sighed softly. He feared a thought so subtle that Mariana could not detect it.

When she returned to the office, Mariana put the umbrellas away in her hands and set them aside, her gaze paused a bit, but she finally forced herself to avert her eyes. Just after returning to the office, Nuria came to his side.

With a sincere smile on her face, she was full of affection.

-Mariana, congratulations, you have become the design director of our design department so quickly.

The words carried a slight flirtation, but there was no malice.

Mariana blushed, looking at the woman in front of her, she couldn't help but float a little guilt.

-Nuria...

If there was anyone in the design department who was more qualified to take Elisa's place after her departure, it would undoubtedly be Nuria.
