Please behave My Lord

Chapter 215: Clarification

In fact, according to Mariana's impression, there was not much of a relationship between her and Hugo Ríos, and they were strangers. They only worked in the same design department. Although she wasn't sure why Hugo did this, she didn't want to ruin her whole life over this issue.

Mariana looked up and peered through the window pane at the employees diligently working outside. There was an empty workstation in their midst, and the table was in disarray. Evidently, the owner of the table had left in a hurry and had not had time to clean it.

Little by little, Mariana became anxious.

Hearing her question, Lionel couldn't help but frown. He seemed to be thinking about something.

Lionel sighed, not knowing what to say.

"Since Hugo has done such a thing, Leopoldo will definitely not forgive him. His career will be completely over. Even Elisa, who has worked diligently for the Elamorad company for so long, will not be spared. However, the destruction of his career is only a small punishment for him."

"Besides, he likes Mariana.... Therefore, he is likely to become disabled or mentally insane."

Finally, Lionel asked, "So, what do you want to do with him?

Mariana pursed her lips and said quietly, "What Hugo did this time didn't do me any substantial harm. I think he just wanted to make me lose my position as design director. He probably did all this to avenge Elisa. Now that everything has been cleared up... just leave him alone.

The assistant paused and said in a deep voice: -Madam, I will inform Mr. Durán of your opinion. Is there anything else you would like me to convey on your behalf?

Mariana could not help biting her lower lip. Leopoldo's icy face appeared in her mind. She couldn't help but inhale.

-No, thank you...

After saying this, she hung up the phone.

Mariana got up, went to the window, looked at the backs of the design department employees and suddenly remembered Elisa.

"This used to be her office. She probably used to be here, too, looking intently at her staff. Was she in the same frame of mind as I was at the time?"

Mariana shook her head and laughed to herself, feeling a little ridiculous.

And after Lionel hung up the phone, he informed Lionel of Mariana's words in their original form.

There was a long silence in the office when he finished. The silence made him very uneasy.

Lionel secretly looked up and looked at Leopold, who had his head down. His face was in the shadows and he could not see it clearly. However, he could still sense that Leopoldo was in a bad mood. -Since she thinks so, do as she says.

Her icy words made Lionel shiver. He froze and answered her seriously: -Yes.

Lionel stayed in place and waited for a while. Then, he left when he heard no more orders.

When Leopoldo was left alone in the office, he could not hide his anger. Emotions were being repressed so tightly that he couldn't let them out, and that bothered him.

In a slightly out-of-the-way coffee shop in the center of town, sparsely populated at the time, sat a woman wearing large black sunglasses in one corner. She had a slender figure and her curly black hair fell over her shoulders, giving her an elegant appearance.

She lifted the cup in front of her and took a small sip. Her fingers were white and nimble, like fine jade.

This woman was Diana Solis.

At the time, she was absently looking out the window.

But a moment later, a woman entered with a bag and sat down in front of Diana. Her face was grim and she looked very somber.

Diana looked at Elisa in front of her and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Why did you ask me to come here?

She laughed mockingly. Elisa knew what Diana was up to.

She considered that Elisa had failed in both matters and that she had also been expelled from the Elamorad company, so she was now of not the slightest use to her. "Now he thinks my request for him to meet with me is a waste of time."

"But she still came..."

-I want you to save Hugo Rios. He didn't need to be involved in this, but I involved him in my disgrace. Leopoldo has learned that the anonymous emails are related to him. Elisa disguised her other emotions and looked at Diana pleadingly.

Diana frowned and leaned back in her chair. She clasped her hands to her chest and looked at the woman in front of her in a nonchalant manner.

-Why should I save him?

Elisa looked at the woman in front of her and felt very angry.

The two had conspired to frame Mariana before. However, Elisa had purposely refrained from frequenting Diana to prevent Mariana from noticing. Therefore, there was hardly any trace of her collaboration. However, at that moment she did not expect to face such a passive situation later on.

Even so, however, Elisa could not vent her anger and could only remain patient. After all, she was the one begging Diana now.

-Tell me. What are your demands? As long as I can do it, I will accept it.

His tone was very humble.

-Will you meet my demands? What else do you have in you right now that I want?

His words made Elisa despair.

Now she was no longer the design director of the Elamorad company, and even after what happened with Hugo, the company would fire all her subordinates. It would be very difficult for her to meddle in Elamorad's affairs in the future.

However, he had to save Hugo Rios.

Elisa thought for a moment and made up her mind. She looked at Diana and said, "It's true that I'm in my down times right now, but I still have many friends in the design world. If you have any problems to deal with in person in the future, I can help you sort them out.

She had been the design director of the Elamorad company for many years and was well known in the fashion industry. She knew many of the editors-in-chief of fashion magazines, as well as models. Besides, if Diana wanted to do something bad and was afraid of being discovered, Elisa could do it for her. Anyway, she no longer had anything to lose.
