Please behave My Lord

Chapter 224: Uncontrollable

Leopoldo hung up the phone.

Turning his head, he saw Mariana behind him, her eyes full of complex emotions that could not be fully distinguished for a moment.

-What's wrong?

Mariana asked in a hoarse voice, Leopoldo's eyes twitched, then he shook his head, and said.

-Nothing, let's have lunch.

Saying this, Leopoldo took the lead and returned to his seat, Mariana was stunned for a moment and then returned to her seat.

After lunch, Leopoldo and Mariana left the orphanage.

Lionel called Leopold again and told him that the problem at the Firmament Orphanage had been solved. No one would dare bother them again, and they could live there forever.

Afterwards, Leopoldo asked Lionel to prepare a lot of books, as well as everyday items, and send them to the Firmamento Orphanage. After receiving the items, Gisela and the children were very happy. Mariana also told the news to Zoraida, who was also very happy and asked her to thank Leopoldo again.

After a moment of silence, Mariana agreed to do so.

In the following days, Mariana returned to her normal work schedule.

The collaboration with the Narciso and Diana Company was going very well, so the launch of the new product was about to begin.

During this period of time, Mariana had to work overtime at the company to prepare for the launch.

One day, after arriving at the company, Mariana began to go over her agenda for the day. The main business was to shoot the ad and publish the photos.

A few days ago, the company had booked this matter with Diana, so the site to do the shooting had been booked in advance.

When Mariana arrived at the site, she had someone quickly set up the scene and then quietly awaited Diana's arrival.

After a long time, Diana appeared. However, the unexpected thing was that she had also brought Xavier with her.

Mariana was surprised, then she smiled and went to greet them: -Hello Miss Diana, Mr. Bolaño.

Xavier looked at Mariana and smiled.

-Mariana, we still need a man for the commercial shoot and Xavier happens to be free today, so I invited him. You don't mind that, do you?

Diana slowly took off her sunglasses and looked at Mariana with a smile that hid another meaning.

Mariana still kept the smile on her face as she looked at Diana and said: "Of course I don't mind, it is an honor for us to have Mr. Bolaño shoot the commercial. Taking into account many factors, it would be great if Xavier also participated in the filming of the commercial.

-That's good.

Seeing that Mariana's expression did not change, Diana felt a little disappointed and after saying these words, she made a cold smile and went to get ready for the shooting. Mariana frowned and looked at Xavier who was still pinned in place, she felt very puzzled and asked in a low voice: -Why do you need to pretend to be a fake partner with Diana?

In fact, the biggest advantage of Diana and Xavier appearing together in the ad was that they could pretend to be a couple to get attention.

Looking at Mariana, Xavier said with folded hands: -I already have many scandals. I don't mind having one more.

Mariana didn't expect Xavier to respond like this. The smile on her face disappeared and she turned her head to look at the man next to her with furrowed brows.

-Then...

Before Mariana could finish her question, Xavier interrupted her.

-Diana told the people on the set in order for the new movie to gain attention. After all, Diana invited the best actor Xavier to participate in her commercial shoot, such a title will surely gain a lot of attention. Hearing the hint of self-deprecation in his words, Mariana's eyes twitched slightly and she couldn't help but glance back at the man next to her.

At this point, Xavier didn't care about anything. The him of now was completely different from the him of the past. He looked like he was going to drift away like the wind at any instant, going to an unknown place.

With her heart trembling inexplicably, Mariana couldn't help but say, "Okay, I know.

"Yes, I've seen the real Xavier, the Xavier no one knows."

Xavier, who was looking straight ahead, could not help but shudder at that moment, turning his head, his eyes full of dismay and his body frozen.

-Xavier, this is the script, go and read it. There should also be some shooting images used for promotion.

The meaning of Diana's words was to tell Xavier not to stay by Mariana's side.

Xavier smiled and went back to his old self, the famous actor who knew how to interpret other people's lives very well.

Such a difficult transformation, and yet he did it so naturally, as if he had been born with that ability.

But how could one be born with it?

At that instant, for some reason, sadness enveloped Mariana, making her whole body tremble uncontrollably.

From start to finish, Mariana stood to the side, watching as Diana and Xavier interacted affectionately and even sweetly in front of the camera, cooperating with the photographer's various requests and taking several photos.

When it was all over, even Mariana, who was standing idly by, felt very tired.

-Miss Diana, thank you for your cooperation.

After saying this, Xavier smiled and approached Mariana, saying seriously: -I don't know if you have time to talk to me for another collaboration?

Mariana frowned, feeling very confused, and then she saw the man in front of her wink his left eye, immediately understanding his meaning: -If you are willing to cooperate with our company, of course I have time.
