Please behave My Lord

Chapter 238: The atmosphere is tense

Obviously, the children could not lie.

At that moment, Diana was still standing indifferently apart, as if she didn't care about the world.

Mariana looked at her and pursed her lips.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit tense, and the crowd held its breath, not daring to say much.

President Gisela approached with her crutch.

-Are you Miss Diana? I thank you very much for the gifts you have sent before for our orphanage, the children and I are very grateful to you, but this situation today is also unexpected. We are not asking you for money, but we want to get a statement for the children. I know you have a good heart, but the children cannot be aggrieved and say nothing.

Diana still looked aggrieved, as if everyone owed her something.

By this time, the excited reporters were already waiting impatiently. They came to film, not to watch the fun.

The journalists were rushed, so they did not speak very politely,

-Miss Diana? Are you ready or not? We are in a hurry to get back to the agenda and deliver it.

She smiled back and nodded her head to cope with the situation, but Diana was unsatisfied at the moment.

At first, it was just about apologizing and paying for it, but now it was getting more and more serious.

She hesitated whether to apologize directly or not, but in her heart she was a little reluctant, after all, she didn't want to give in to Mariana so easily.

Mariana looked at her silently and made no sound.

At that moment, President Gisela suddenly said.

-Actually, there is surveillance at the orphanage, we can take her out for evidence, if there is no problem with the person you have brought, we will not say anything.

Surveillance?

I was a little nervous, if I waited until then....

Diana looked at the worker helplessly and spoke in a cold voice.

-Since it was you who did the wrong thing, you should apologize to the people.

In an instant, she threw herself out of this matter, as if she wasn't the one who defended that person before.

Diana looked at the staff member, the other person naturally understood her meaning, though reluctant, still showed an expression of remorse, leaning towards Mariana repeatedly. -It's my fault, it's my fault, I'm sorry! I was wrong...

-It wasn't me you collided with," said Mariana.

The official shifted a little, not very happy for a moment.

Diana's feet pushed lightly, and her light high heels made a crunching sound on the floor.

The staff member was secretly annoyed and gave Julio a bow.

-Little boy, I'm sorry!

Mariana looked at him and said nothing more, but it was President Gisela who thanked Diana.

-Thank you, Miss Diana, we will be grateful.

-These are all the things I have to do.

The smile on Diana's face was a bit stiff, with no grace she had on stage.

-You are very kind.

President Gisela still smiled with kindness and sympathy.

Diana smiled and waved her hand, and only then did the recording resume. All the material she had brought was stacked in a small room in the courtyard, and in case there was another unpleasant incident like the one just now, President Gisela told the children to go back to their rooms and stay there for the time being.

All the nurses took the children away and the place was immediately empty.

The purpose of Diana's visit on this occasion was to establish a new image as a friendly actress to the public, but all the footage previously recorded by the journalists could not be used. Now that everything was almost settled and the children had gone to their rooms to rest, there seemed to be nothing to film or edit next. There was no heat on the footage for charity, and there was no profit today.

For Diana, maybe you could say that she really just came to donate a cart full of materials.

After all, she had paid someone to do a charity and had spent an afternoon doing it, and now she had nothing to gain. She only gained a misunderstanding that might even make those reporters unhappy with her as well, and she would have to placate them later.

When the reporters finished taking as many photos as they could, Diana sped off in a car.

When the surroundings became quiet, the orphanage at that moment returned to its usual peaceful and serene appearance.

After having cleaned the area well, President Gisela approached Mariana and looked with her at the unoccupied door where the smoke and dust had lifted slightly.

-Mari, what's wrong?

There was kindness in the words, and it fell softly on Mariana's ear, causing her gaze to tremble slightly before she came to her senses.

The corners of her mouth quirked up in a slight smile, Mariana looked at the gentle-looking president Gisela and couldn't help but ask hesitantly.

-President, aren't you angry? Why can you still be so outspoken after something like this happened today? Even...

After a pause, Mariana pursed her lips and did not utter the following words.

However, President Gisela understood and smiled nonchalantly.

-You want to ask why I have to apologize to Miss Diana, don't you?

Hesitating for a moment, Mariana ended up nodding under his gentle gaze.

-It's true that the whole incident seems that Miss Diana did something wrong, or that she came to the orphanage with other intentions from the beginning, but that doesn't affect the fact that we are the beneficiaries, does it? If you accept something from someone else, it's only natural to thank them.

Nodding ignorantly, Mariana watched the president avert her eyes and land in the distance. Her gaze held deep meaning, and her words were tinged with a sigh.

-How can there be absolutely good or absolutely bad things in this world? The same goes for people, the line between good and bad people has always been indistinguishable, so how can you define good and bad in a person so hastily?

Mariana did not expect President Gisela to tell her such truths.

-Mariana, everything in this world is changing, people too, don't let the things in front of you affect you, not even your heart, and, keep being kind.

The last sentence carried a complex emotion, President Gisela turned her head back and looked at the cold woman beside her with some hope and expectation, even blessing.

After a moment of silence, Mariana finally looked directly at President Gisela and said with a serious and erect expression.

-I will.

"It must be said that one who can have such a kind heart and do such good deeds must have a heart that is well broad."

Mariana looked at the busy nurses behind her and the children still playing and laughing, and a trace of tenderness invaded her heart. The reason the Firmament Orphanage could be like this was probably a large part of President Gisela's credit.

Her eyes filled with life, and Mariana felt her body and mind being swept away by a clear current, leaving only a more determined self.
