Please behave My Lord
Chapter 145: Innocence

Chapter 145: Innocence

Leopold stood in place, looking at the slender back of the woman who was leaving quickly, some strange thoughts secretly arose in his mind, but then quickly disappeared. In the director's room.

Mariana sat a little restrained in front of the director, hot tea in hand. She hesitated for a long time before speaking quietly:

-Director, thank you for taking care of me on set during this time, but I'm afraid I can no longer fill the position of wardrobe crew chief due to health reasons, so I'm going to ... resign.

Paul was astonished and looked at the woman who was smiling calmly in front of him, talking in confusion:

-What's going on? Why do you suddenly have to quit?

Mariana repressed the various emotions in her heart:

-I have already told Mr. Durán, and he has agreed, so I hope you will allow it.

Hearing these words, Paul was even more surprised and frowned in thought for a long time.

Seeing the director's appearance, Mariana became a little uneasy and, after a pause, she spoke again.

-Do you have anything inconvenient to say, or is there a wardrobe problem that hasn't been resolved? If so, I can finish it first.

After all, the sudden resignation also lacked consideration.

This was already the safest way I could conceive of.

The director remained silent for a long time before looking at Mariana and asking in a soft voice:

-Has it already been approved by Mr. Durán?

-Yes.

Mariana nodded, sadness in her eyes.

However, the director's next soft murmur suddenly took her by surprise,

-All the things you had provoked before on the set could have made me fire you many times. But each time, it was Señor Durán who kept you. However, I did not expect him to be the one to let you go now as well....

The director kept asking questions, but Mariana was already lost in thought.

The glass in his hand suddenly fell and shattered all over the floor.

For a moment the room was in chaos, like Mariana's heart at this moment.

It turned out that she had not gotten away with things, but that it was Leopoldo who had been protecting her.

But why?

The sound of shattering glass interrupted the director's contemplation, and he spoke helplessly:

-Mariana, what are you doing?

-I'm sorry, I'm going to clean it up.

Saying this, he was about to get up, but was stopped by Paul.

He waved his hand and spoke with some impatience:

-Forget it, I'll replace someone else to clean it.

Then, he said.

-Since Mr. Durán has already accepted your resignation, I won't keep you any longer. There is also no more work after the wardrobe team, and I think Ana will be able to handle it. Mariana was still in shock and didn't listen to his words, she just nodded her head:

-Thank you very much.

As she opened the door and stepped outside, the cold wind blew into Mariana's face, and she couldn't help but shiver slightly, her heart also fluttering wildly.

It turned out that it was Leopoldo who had helped her from the beginning.

This news made Mariana feel vertigo, she could no longer know if this was reality or a dream...

How could Leopoldo help her?

Suddenly, Mariana stopped, took out her cell phone and, after a long hesitation, dialed.

However, no one answered her. Her hands were shaking uncontrollably, but still she did not give up and dialed again, but this time they caught it quickly. -Leopoldo?

Mariana's voice was a bit unsettling and cautious, and, moreover, a bit astringent.

-Madam, it's Lionel, sir... you are with Miss Solis at the moment, I'm afraid you don't have much time to pick up your call.

These words made Mariana wake up instantly.

The unsettling feeling in her feet disappeared and Mariana took two unconscious steps.

The feeling of having my feet on the ground was so real that I wanted to shed tears.

Even if she had helped him before, so what? Now the woman he loved was back and by his side again, while she, Mariana, was nothing more than an unpleasant person bound to him by a marriage contract. If she were in your shoes, she would know how to make the right decision.

Mariana opened her mouth, but could not say anything.

-Ma'am?

The slightly puzzled voice of the assistant suddenly sounded on the other end of the cell phone.

Mariana came to her senses, repressing the emotions in her heart and feigning indifference as she spoke:

-It's nothing... I just want to thank Mr. Durán for taking care of me before.

The words became more and more fluent at the end.

The assistant was even more puzzled, but before she could ask again, Mariana had already hung up.

With doubts in her heart, the assistant held the phone and returned to the room.

At that moment, the doctor was standing by the hospital bed, looking at the examination report in his hand and said.

-Miss Solis' waist has no injury, the excruciating pain is probably because... it was accidentally twisted, now it has completely healed, and there is no need for hospitalization.

At these words, Lionel looked up with apparent awareness.

It was seen that there were tears from the woman on the bed, whose face was pale. She was lying softly and weakly, with a look full of innocence.

He was so different from his wife, who was stubborn even when her face was pale.

With a jolt in his heart, Lionel ducked his head, sighed in his heart and spoke softly:

-Mr. Durán, your cell phone just received a call, it's...

Before the assistant could finish her sentence, the words were interrupted.

-Okay, there's nothing else to do here, you can go back first.

With a cold tone, Leopoldo had already picked up the phone.

Lionel opened his mouth, but had to keep silent again, hesitating, with some reluctance.

However, her boss already started whispering to comfort Diana.

Once again he sighed helplessly and had to withdraw.
