Chapter 225: The fish has taken the bait
Then, Mariana turned around and looked at Nuria who was not far away.
-Nuria, you take care of the next things, I have something to talk to Mr. Bolaño.
Hearing this, Nuria froze for a while, but still nodded out of confidence in Mariana.
Naturally, Diana, who was standing to the side also heard Mariana's words. She clenched her hands as if she was holding something back.
In his eyes there was an imperceptible hint of fierceness, but his face still held a smile.
No matter at what point, he could not let others detect his true emotions.
As they left the studio, Xavier asked his assistant to leave. Only he and Mariana were left in the car.
Sitting in the seat, Mariana put on her seat belt, turned her head, looked at the man next to her and smiled: -Where are we going?
Hearing this, Xavier couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and looked at Mariana, saying deliberately: -Are we not going to talk about cooperation?
After saying that, they both looked at each other and laughed, the sound of laughter filled every corner of the car, they were both very happy.
Seeing this aspect of Xavier, Mariana knew that he was once again hiding part of his true self, but even so, she was relieved.
Since Xavier had taken her to her grandmother's house to comfort her the last time, their friendship had grown. Mariana would worry about Xavier's emotions, and Xavier would worry about hers, even if the two didn't see each other often.
They were both very relaxed when they were together.
Xavier took Mariana to a farm on the outskirts of the city, where there were very few people, so Xavier took off his sunglasses and mask.
After renting two pieces of fishing equipment, Xavier and Mariana arrived at a pond. The beautiful and calm pond in front of them relaxed them. Looking at the woman next to him, Xavier handed her one of the fishing tackle and asked, "Do you know how to fish?
Frozen for a moment, Mariana smiled and took the fishing rod Xavier handed her.
-Yes.
When she was little, Zoraida had taken her fishing.
The two sat on the shore, quietly watching the water.
The breeze passed through her ears, Mariana closed her eyes and raised her head slightly, enjoying this moment and feeling comfortable. Looking at the woman next to him, Xavier narrowed his eyes, which seemed to reflect the waves of the lake, and couldn't help but smile.
-The fish has taken the bait!
Mariana, who was with her eyes closed, suddenly heard Xavier's shout, opened her eyes and really saw that a fish had been hooked.
She stepped forward and pulled the rod. She lifted it up and threw it back, hoisting a fish.
Putting the fish in the basket, Mariana raised her head, looked at the man next to her with a certain complacency and said cheerfully, "I told you I know how to fish, didn't I? -I told you I know how to fish, didn't
I?
-You're great!
As he said, Xavier gave a thumbs up to show his praise. They both laughed at the same time.
The two left the farm with many crops.
Mariana returned to the villa with the fish she had caught and gave it to Carmen to prepare for dinner.
While waiting for the food, he sat on the couch and flipped through the magazine Xavier had given him today. However, before Carmen could prepare dinner, Leopoldo returned.
He raised his head and looked at Leopoldo, Mariana was surprised and spoke: -Why did you come back? Hearing these words, the man's expression became even colder, making people not dare to look at him. -What? I can't go back?
The cold words made Mariana's body tremble, and she put down the fashion magazine in her hand and looked at Leopoldo without knowing what had happened to him.
"The relationship between us wasn't like this yesterday, why had it become so distant at this time?"
Mariana got up, approached Leopoldo, raised her head to look at him and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Is it because work hasn't gone well today? Or because of other things? Mariana frowned and watched him with great concern.
Leopoldo lowered his head, looked at Mariana and noticed a trace of strangeness in her eyes.
At that moment, Carmen came out with the fish soup and said with a smile: -Miss Ortiz, this fish you have brought is really wonderful, the soup is extraordinarily delicious, come and try it. Saying that, he placed the fish soup on the table. But he did not expect to see Mariana and Leopoldo, who seemed to be facing each other. The smile on his face froze instantly. -Mr. Durán, are you back? Then try this fish soup. This is the fish that Miss Ortiz personally caught today.
Hearing those words, Leopoldo's expression turned colder. Looking at the woman in front of him, his eyes filled with mockery again.
-I didn't expect you to have so much free time today. You even went fishing with someone else.
The words were so cold that they caused people to be afraid.
Her heart fluttered uncontrollably and Mariana couldn't help taking half a step back: "What are you talking about, or has someone said something to you?
-Say what? If you haven't done it, what could someone else tell me? How does it feel to go on a date with a famous celebrity?
Leopoldo stepped forward and approached Mariana. His large stature caused a feeling of oppression to Mariana.
Mariana suddenly remembered Diana and smiled, feeling helpless.
Whatever she said, Leopoldo did not believe, but whatever Diana said, he believed it all.
