Chapter 119: Sense of security

Respectfully placing the photo he held in his hand on top of the boss's desk, Lionel took half a step back and stood a little farther away out of fear.

-Mr. Durán, these are the photos taken today.

His long hands picked up the photo on the desk, but in an instant, his face suddenly darkened.

In the photo it is clear that Diana and Susana are talking happily with each other, and they seem to be on... very good terms.

With cold eyes, Leopoldo raised his hand and the photo fell on the table.

-According to the investigation, Miss Diana has met with designer Susana many times since her return, and the two seem to have a good relationship, and designer Susana likes Rafael, but Rafael likes.... Diana.

The last sentence caused the assistant's tone to go lower and lower, only to feel that the air pressure in the office had also gone way down, and the air had become thin, making his chest tighten and feel a little uncomfortable.

After a long while, a cold, icy, deep voice reached his ears,

-Susana's investigation continues.

-Yes.

When Lionel heard the order, he was about to withdraw, but he did not expect Señor Durá to call him:

-Delete all traces of Diana's contact with Susana.

With a shudder in his heart, Lionel couldn't help but be a little stunned.

From the photos, it appeared that Miss Solis was probably involved in the matter of Mariana's alleged plagiarism.

And now, what Mr. Duran said was actually a conclusion that Miss Diana was involved.

But even so, he wanted to erase the traces of Miss Solis' contact with Susana, that was to... protect her, no matter what the truth was.

Both eyebrows furrowed slightly, the assistant finally answered yes.

However, shortly after the door closed, the desk phone vibrated.

Leopoldo looked at the name still flashing on the phone screen,

-What's wrong?

A soft, delicate voice came immediately from the other end of the phone, with a hint of temptation.

-Leo, there are a lot of people around the set entrance, I'm a bit scared, can you come and pick me up?

The cold, hard eyes lifted slightly, and then he looked at the picture before him. Hearing Diana's pleading voice, his emotions seemed to have no fluctuation.

-Diana, I will send someone to pick you up, the company still has a lot of unfinished business.

The words were subdued, but it was a categorical rejection of the request.

The hand holding the phone tightened, and Diana frowned.

I did not expect Leopoldo to refuse this request of his.

His heart fluttered slightly, but Mariana's face suddenly appeared in his mind, making his resentment rise.

However, the words that came out remained as gentle as ever,

-These people seem to be reporters, I think they are probably here to cover Mariana's plagiarism issue, Leo, after all I wore that plagiarized dress designed by Mariana, yes....

The words came here, Diana paused delicately, biting her lower lip slightly, the pause vaguely revealing some concern and fear.

-I'll call the director to send someone to escort you home, I'm very busy.

After saying that, without waiting for anything else to be said, he had already hung up the phone.

The documents in front of him were piling up on the table, but Leopoldo had already stood up, grabbed his suit jacket on the hanger and his long figure walked out of the office with quick steps.

He drove to the villa and just opened the door, but the room was dark, without a single ray of light.

With a touch of surprise in his cold, stern eyes, Leopoldo turned on the light. And the brightness of the room seemed to awaken the nanny, who came out of her room and looked at Leopoldo, who had returned and said:

-Sir, you are back.

He nodded his head slightly, and his eyes glanced casually at a certain room upstairs.

The nanny hastened to say:

-The lady hasn't been out all day today, she had an early dinner and went upstairs to rest.

-Good.

He was about to go upstairs, but suddenly Leopoldo thought of something and stopped,

-The lady has been in a bad mood lately and needs your careful attention.

-Yes.

News of the plagiarism was so widespread that even the babysitter, who was not usually connected to the Internet, had heard about it.

But after spending so much time together, she naturally trusted Mariana's character, so she had taken great care of her.

When he reached the second floor and went to the door of Mariana's room, the man's footsteps stopped immediately.

His cold, icy eyes lifted slightly and rested on the closed door of the room.

It was also dark inside, with no light coming from the door.

Suddenly, from Mariana's room there was a noise, sometimes faint and sometimes mournful, like the screams of someone haunted by a nightmare.

Leopold immediately took a big step, pushed open the door in front of him and entered the room.

He approached the bed and pushed Mariana, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and gently caressed her hot cheeks.

-Mariana, wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

However, he did not expect that the next moment, the palm would be held tightly by a hand that moved from side to side, with such force that it seemed as if it would break the bones in the hand, like a person who was about to drown holding on to a straw in the water, without letting go of it in the slightest.

-No... Let me go! Let me go! It's not me! It's not me...

Screaming and sitting up at the same time, Mariana's face was reddened, her forehead covered with thick sweat, her hair wet and messy against the side of her face, the corners of her eyes with a few tears. Her lips were slightly open and her chest was rising and falling, Mariana was breathing heavily.

The faint aroma of tobacco surprised Mariana.

A feeling of security enveloped his whole body.

Raising her eyes, Mariana saw Leopoldo and could not help but throw herself into his arms, hugging his strong waist tightly and laying her head on his strong chest.

With furrowed brows, Leopold looked silently at the woman clinging to him, her exquisite figure now pressed against his.

But the body in her arms was still shaking uncontrollably, as if she was almost scared to death.

After some hesitation, Leopold finally reached out, placed his hand gently on the woman's back and caressed her.

Only after a long while did the woman in his arms gradually calm down, although she was still wrapped tightly around his waist.

-Mariana.

She did not respond.

Helplessly, Leopoldo gently pushed Mariana's hand away, leaned down, and looked into her eyes, but the next moment, he couldn't help but be stunned.

On her cheeks were two lines of tears, the tip of her nose was red, with a very aggrieved look.

A shudder ran through his heart and a pang of pain spread from deep within his heart to his surroundings, depressing him as well.

-Go to sleep, I'm here.

Saying this, Leopoldo also climbed into bed and lay down next to Mariana, wrapping her in his arms, moving with an unprecedented tender look, as if something was sprouting on this night. Snuggled against the man's broad chest, the smell of tobacco intensified, but Mariana couldn't get enough of it.

After a deep inhalation, his heart also calmed down.

The nightmares that had just tormented her dissipated in an instant.

It was extremely reassuring.
