Chapter 103: You're Back Early

-Nothing, it shouldn't be true.

-Anita, have you seen anything?

During this period of time, the online criticism about her had not stopped, no one cared what she said,

they only cared about what they saw and what they could imagine.

-Nothing, Mari, is it nonsense? We won't see it.

Noticing that Ana seemed intent on hiding it, Mariana was helpless and had no choice but to repress

her thoughts.

Lionel looked at the search hotspots that kept going up, a dozen hot searches related to the Empress

Santa cast were flashing non-stop.

Too many people navigate the top three!

-Remove the hot search! Suppress the news and inform them that the female protagonist of Holy

Empress cannot be Mariana.

Leopold stood in front of the window with a deep coldness that was terrifying.

Lionel lowered his head, unable to help a slight sigh, but his face remained calm, Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

-Yes, I'm going to do it now.

The director and producer were also very unlucky, they finally found someone, but they didn't expect it

to be the boss's person.

Lionel turned and left.

Looking down the street below, where people were constantly passing by, Leopold frowned slightly, his

expression had taken on a slight impatience.

***

When she returned to the villa in the evening, Mariana was already exhausted.

Although the crew was scrambled and she just had to do some preparatory work, but the forced smile

of the day made her very tired. She couldn't help but rub her face, which was stiff from the fake smile.

While rubbing her face in amusement, Mariana raised her eyes slightly, but was stunned.

It was Leopoldo.

At this moment, he was sitting on the couch, alone next to a dim floor lamp, the tender light hitting his

body, as if integrated with the dark night.

After some hesitation, Mariana came over and sat down next to him.

-Why haven't you rested yet?

The words suddenly fell on his ears, causing the man with closed eyes to open his cold, stern eyes and

look at her. The faint fragrance of a woman's scent reached his nostrils, when Leopold looked back, he

saw a pair of crystal eyes, like a calm, cool and comfortable spring.

-Didn't you just come back too?

The cold words in this dim light also seemed a bit meaningful.

Mariana leaned back gently on the soft sofa. The light from the lamp was blocked by the tall figure

beside her, and she seemed to be hidden in Leopoldo's shadow, as if her whole body was trapped in

darkness.

-Leopoldo," a hoarse voice sounded, "thank you.

She seemed to be aware of something, but he could not see the expression on Mariana's face. They

both knew she was saying thank you for the investment conference.

-It is not necessary.

He uttered a faint phrase that made Mariana startle. Her eyes were shining, as if they could emit a

dazzling light even in the dark.

-Tomorrow I want to prepare dinner," Mariana stared at Leopoldo's face and spoke softly, "you come

back early.

After a long while, just when Mariana thought that Leopoldo was not going to accept it, a "Good"

sounded in her ears.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve, warmth flowed into his heart, and for a moment, the

two of them sat like that, as if they were a real couple.

Public opinion on the Internet was still seething, with most Internet users strongly opposing Mariana's

role as the female lead in Holy Empress, and some even conducted a secret poll, with up to 95 percent

voting against Mariana's participation.

All this had annoyed the director and the producer.

However, Lionel also brought Leopold's order that the female protagonist of Holy Empress would never

be Mariana.

Mariana arrived on set as usual and, naturally, received all kinds of stares from the set.

Gossip was the most powerful tool to awaken hidden thoughts in people's hearts:

-She wants to be the female lead in our Empress Santa? Don't even think about it!

-What a surprise, it is said that the director and the producer approved it! Could the director and the

producer have been seduced?

-It's possible! If not, why would the director and producer let Mariana act in such a big production?

Aren't they afraid of losing money?

Mariana passed directly in front of those few people, cool and elegant, with a serene face.

Just as she reached the entrance to the dressing room, a shocking sound from Ana rang inside,

striking Mariana's eardrums and causing her to stop in her tracks.

-What do they know? How dare they talk about Mari like that!

After a pause, Ana's voice dropped a little, but was still unusually angry.

-The crew is anxious to find the heroine now, and they think of Mari, but how can these people do this?

If it's just a test, that's fine, but it will affect Mari too much!

Hearing these words, a trace of warmth surged in his heart. Returning to normal in an instant, he

pushed open the door and entered, and the voice suddenly stopped.

-Mari!

Ana's face lifted with a smile, she put her phone away, took a few steps to Mariana's side, grabbed her

arm and turned to look at those in front of her and spoke:

-Well, don't gossip, all of you go to work, the boss is coming.

In the next second, after greeting each other, these people quickly left.

***

On this day, Mariana came home from work early. When she left the house this morning, she had

already asked her babysitter to go out and help her buy the ingredients again to cook a big dinner.

The last time she prepared a meal for Leopoldo as a token of appreciation, he didn't eat it, but this time

this kind of thing shouldn't happen.

The babysitter had already left early, so Mariana tied her apron and began preparations, with the

corners of her mouth always turned up, without lowering them.

After a long while, Mariana took the last of the soup to the table and looked at the clock hanging on the

wall.

Leopoldo would be back soon.

Unwrapping her apron, Mariana made her way to the couch and sat down, somewhat bored, she

turned on the TV, found a random variety show to pass the time.

However, the moon was already high in the sky, but Leopold had not yet returned.

Walking to the dining room table, Mariana looked at the various dishes that almost covered the table,

she had a slight feeling of depression.

Turning his eyes back, he looked at the door, his eyes full of anticipation, as if someone was actually

going to walk in at that moment.
