Please behave My Lord

Chapter 211: Truth

Looking at the rowdy crowd, Mariana did not want to destroy their enthusiasm and accepted it. And to the surprise of the crowd, Leopoldo did not refuse either.

The atmosphere was very lively. Everyone cleared the food in front of them to create a space. Then they took a bottle of beer, placed it in the center and swirled it around. Unexpectedly, the beer bottle was pointed at Mariana.

Staring dumbfounded at the bottle pointing at her, Mariana was shocked and then smiled helplessly.

Nuria said with laughter:

-Truth or dare?

Mariana thought about it and finally decided:

-Truth.

The woman in front of her said curiously and gossipingly:

-I'll ask the questions! Mariana, do you like Xavier Bolaño? You must answer honestly.

Mariana froze for a moment, clearly feeling that the man next to her had become very cranky. She even felt a little cold and couldn't help but move a little to the side.

The company employees were very good at reading people's moods and had already noticed Leopoldo's somber face. No one dared to speak, so the atmosphere was awkward. The woman who asked the question also noticed the change in atmosphere and her smile disappeared, so she shrank back.

While the crowd was very restless, Mariana said jokingly:

-You're asking the wrong person this question. You should ask Xavier if he likes me or not.

Then, the crowd rushed to give forced laughter to quickly disperse this embarrassment. The game continued.

The next time, however, the beer bottle placed on the table was finally pointed at Leopoldo.

The atmosphere, which had just become lively, became silent and everyone froze.

The question had offended Leopoldo before, and now it was his turn to choose.

However, who in the room dared to ask him questions?

As the crowd fell silent, Nuria, who was sitting next to Mariana, stood up and said with a smile:

-I find it a bit boring. How about a different game?

A colleague from the design department immediately stood up and proposed:

-Let's change another one! This game is too old-fashioned. I've brought a poker deck. Let's play cards! The two people who draw the designated cards have to do what we ask them to do. As the atmosphere was too uncomfortable, his proposal naturally met with unanimous approval.

Mariana looked at the man next to her and thought the boss's presence in this activity was amusing.

However, Leopoldo suddenly looked at her with an icy and complicated look at that moment. They stared at each other, drawn to each other. There seemed to be sparks in the air. Mariana's heart suddenly accelerated, as if something was beating in her heart, wanting to escape.

In the end, she couldn't bear his gaze and turned her head away, blushing involuntarily.

Luckily, it was late at night and they were the only ones left in the restaurant. Due to the dim lighting, people would not easily notice their strange appearance.

The man had already drawn the cards. A stack of cards was selected according to the number of people present. After showing them to the audience, he dealt the cards to each person in turn.

-Let me show you how to play! The two people who draw the designated cards hold hands and make faces. So, those who have drawn the ace of diamonds and the five of diamonds, please stand up. Mariana looked up with a smile and discovered that those who had drawn the designated cards were Nuria and Leonor.

The two stood up, held hands with extreme naturalness and quickly made faces. They did it very quickly, much to everyone's dismay.

The two were already very close and they were both girls, so these things were very easy for them to do. But some of the fun was lost.

The game continued as the conditions they offered became more and more complicated.

-Okay, it's my turn! Then I'm going to have the people who draw the designated cards kiss each other with a napkin in between.

Right when it was over, everyone screamed with excitement. Everyone was delighted. I was anxious to know who the people were who had drawn the designated cards. Mariana looked at the colleague who was about to get up.

-So, people who rolled 2 and 8 hearts, please stand up.

Mariana froze and couldn't help but look wide-eyed.

Nuria noticed her difference, and said excitedly:

-Mariana, is it you who pulled the card?

Then, she picked up the poker card she had covered on the table. Mariana was really the 2 of hearts!

The audience in the room could not help but be very excited. Nuria held up the 2 of hearts card and then looked at those present in turn.

-The 2 of Hearts has been found. Now who has the 8 of hearts?

One by one, Nuria checked the cards in the crowd, but none of them were. Finally, they all looked at Leopoldo.

The atmosphere in the room was so lively that someone boldly asked:

-Mr. Durán, is the 8 of hearts with you?

Although everyone was surprised, they looked expectantly at the cold and stern man, waiting for his response.

Mariana was very nervous and uneasy at that moment. She turned her head to look at Leopoldo.

The man, cold and stern, looked at the gossiping crowd in front of him and finally picked up the poker card that was covered on the table and placed it in front of Mariana. It was the 8th of hearts.

-A kiss! Give a kiss!

The chaotic commotion brought Mariana back to her senses.

Someone said enthusiastically:

-Sir! Mariana! You're going to kiss each other with the napkin in the middle as we just asked!

However, Leopoldo put the letter down and said nothing. The atmosphere became uncomfortable.

The crowd also stopped, not daring to make any more noise or jokes.

The PR manager next door couldn't help but sigh.

"If the Lord is so boring, why did he come to the party?"
