Please behave My Lord

Chapter 202: Anonymous e-mails

Nuria arrived in front of Mariana and Leopoldo, her face was calm, the hair around her ears was a little messed up by the two women during the fight at the moment, but she could not hide her calm eyes. -Mr. Durán, the thing is like this, I don't know why early in the morning, all the employees of the company received an anonymous email in their mailbox, and the things that are said in this anonymous email about Señora Nuria are obviously not true, but all the people cannot distinguish the facts and maliciously spread rumors.

The words were profound and reached everyone's ears.

The crowd could not help but duck their heads, their bodies trembling imperceptibly.

-Just for this matter?

Cold, harsh words were spoken, causing some panic in the hearts of the crowd, which seemed a little uneasy as everyone did not dare to speak again.

And the two women who had pulled earlier with Nuria stepped forward at that moment, looking at Leopoldo, their fears also showing on their faces as they spoke in trembling voices,

-Mr. Durán, it's not that we don't believe Director Ortiz, but the things described in that email are all too real, so it's hard not to believe it.

After a pause, the two looked at each other and there was a trace of strangeness in their eyes.

The woman who had been slapped by Nuria said again,

Mr. Durán, you probably haven't seen the content of the e-mail, have you? In it, it says...

However, before the words could finish they were abruptly interrupted by the man, his face was icy and his words carried a deep chill, causing the atmospheric pressure in the room to drop sharply. -Isn't it an anonymous email? Dare you believe an email from an unknown source, but not this living person in front of you?

The cold words were full of strong sarcasm, like a strong slap in the woman's face, causing her lips to quiver and her face to instantly pale, and she couldn't help but take half a step back.

-Besides, so what? Is this the reason why you are not working well today? If you don't want to stay at Elamorad, you can quit.

The deep, cold words echoed in everyone's ears, and the field was so quiet that if a pin dropped at that moment, it could produce a loud sound.

At that moment, Lionel stepped forward, looked at the crowd and spoke coldly,

-What do you want to do here? Don't you have a job?

As he uttered these words, the crowd could not help but shudder, and then he quickly left, and in an instant the crowd had dispersed.

Even the two women who were previously pulling with Nuria also trembled and withdrew.

Raising her eyes, she looked at the man standing next to her, Mariana was about to say thank you when the long figure walked past her and left.

She was stunned for a moment, but it was only after Nuria gave her a push that Mariana returned to normal and saw Nuria slightly lift her chin towards her, indicating the direction in which Leopoldo had left. It was only then that Mariana reacted with her senses and hurried to follow him.

Glancing at the woman following the tall man, Nuria's eyes twinkled with a faint smile, before shaking her head helplessly.

Such a scene was also seen by Hugo Rios, who was hidden in the shadows. He looked behind the backs of the two men who were leaving together, and his eyes trembled, with a hint of something strange, his hands could not help but clench fiercely, shaking uncontrollably, as if he were repressing something.

When he reached the office, Leopoldo did not look at the woman following him inside, but looked at his assistant to the side and spoke in a deep voice, -Find out quickly where this anonymous mail is coming from!

-Yes.

After a moment of contemplation, Lionel already answered in a serious manner.

Then, his eyes darted back and forth between Mariana and Leopoldo, the assistant understood immediately and, without another word, went straight out. At this time, only Mariana and Leopoldo remained in the office.

The atmosphere of silence continued, with unspeakable significance.

In the end, it was Mariana who could not help but raise her head and look at Leopoldo, who was sitting behind the desk, talking in a low voice, -Thank you for what just happened.

I really should thank him, if he hadn't arrived on time, he wouldn't have known how to handle this matter, things got out of control beyond his imagination. Mariana hadn't even thought that what was just an anonymous email had actually sparked a dispute at the company.

It was as if someone was instigating behind the scenes.

-Don't you understand?

The cold, hard words fell on her ears in a deep voice, Mariana suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Leopoldo, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and only after a long moment did she say bitterly, -Is... Elisa?

She had just arrived at the company and made Elisa, a senior figure in the company, leave. She must have cultivated some people close to her over the years at Elamorad, and her departure was naturally unbearable for these people, and even seeing Mariana take her place stirred up deeper conflicts.

It was possible that the anonymous email was not the work of these people, but they did want to use it to their advantage, to show more people Mariana's "true appearance" so that senior management would doubt their decision and show that Mariana was not suitable to be the company's design director.

In fact, if Leopoldo had not arrived in time to stop this event, everything would have been as they wanted.

His eyes rested coldly on the emotionally distraught woman in front of him, a hint of appreciation shone in Leopold's eyes, his thin lips parted slightly, but his mean words were uttered in an instant. -At least you're not a fool.

The corners of her mouth hooked into a smile of helplessness, Mariana no longer had the strength to reply, she only felt the helplessness welling up from the bottom of her heart, instantly overflowing her whole body, making her feel hesitant.

Such an environment was not what she wanted, and she did not like it.

If the Elamorad company was always going to be like this in the future because of its existence, then I wished I had never come.

After frowning, Mariana took a step forward and stepped in front of Leopoldo. She struggled for a moment, but could not help but say,

-Mr. Durán, I don't think I am suitable to be the design director of the company, please think again.

With a laugh, Leopoldo looked at Mariana in front of him, the corners of his mouth curved in a slightly mocking arc, shallow and unobvious. -Do you really think the company will let someone who has only been there for a few months hold a position as important as design director? With stunned eyes, Mariana looked at Leopoldo, full of confusion.

-Then...

-You don't have to worry about anything else. I will find out about this anonymous email incident and give you an explanation when the time comes. The words were profound, but with a firm meaning, so that people who heard them felt very safe.

Her eyes trembled slightly, Mariana couldn't help biting her lower lip, hesitated a bit and finally nodded her head.
