Chapter 72: Bitterness

But in the end, Leopoldo drank it and it was good.

As she left the office, Paula cursed Lionel in her mind.

Suddenly, the office door opened and Leopoldo came striding out.

-Mr. Durán, what is it?

Paula was quick to ask:

-I have something to do, I'll go first.

After saying this, Leopoldo left with a firm step, without pausing for a moment.

Paula was very surprised to see her boss's back.

-When did the boss leave work early?

-Yes, the boss is very strange today.

-The boss acts like he's in a hurry to see his wife again. But he's single, does he have a wife?

There was a lot of loud chatter.

Just as Leopoldo arrived at the entrance of the Patio Feliz carrying the empty lunch box, he heard

laughter coming from inside.

-Mariana, you take good care of Zoraida. Look, now her face is much rosier, and she walks briskly.

-Yes, Mariana, you also bought so many things for Zoraida, you spent a lot of money, didn't you?

-These days you always see that assistant coming to deliver things. Leopoldo treats you very well, you

should appreciate it.

Mariana only responded with a smile:

-It's nothing.

-Hey, how come it's nothing? There are so few people like Leopoldo. Mariana, listen to me, you must

appreciate it.

-Well, I can see that, Lina," said Mariana in a quiet voice.

-What are you talking about! She doesn't need your opinion! Mariana knows very well how to do it.

Zoraida pretended to be angry, but her words showed that she noticed Mariana's discomfort. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

It was then that Leopold entered the room, standing in the doorway, blocking the sunlight from outside,

which made the room seem dark all of a sudden.

The crowd looked at him in surprise.

-Leopoldo? You haven't been here for a few days, have you? Your face doesn't look too good, is there

a lot to do at the company?

Lina was the first to get up and asked him with concern.

-No, Lina.

The indifferent voice came from the thin lips, but it was also mixed with a bit of softness.

Mariana, who was next to him, immediately stood up and looked at Leopoldo with surprise.

-This young couple hasn't seen each other for days, we should go first, let the two of them talk.

Zoraida, do you want to go to my house?

-Good, good.

Zoraida accepted it immediately.

After saying this, Lina, Zoraida and other neighbors left.

In an instant, the room was instantly filled with the two people, Leopoldo and Mariana.

An atmosphere of silence pervaded the room.

In the end, it was Mariana who took the lead:

-Thank you... For buying so many household items for Zoraida.

Leopoldo looked at Mariana but said nothing. Before coming, Leopoldo had already asked Lionel about

what had happened. It was that Mariana sent the lunch box to the company building and left. "Are you

avoiding me? Then why did she bring me soup?"

-Trying to pique my interest?

-What?

Mariana looked at Leopoldo in a daze.

-I said that our relationship cannot be exposed, but yet you went to the entrance of the company, but in

the end, you didn't go upstairs, but had Lionel do it, isn't that an attempt to get my attention?

Mariana could not believe what she was hearing. Her heart suddenly jolted with pain.

-Is that how you consider me? -asked Mariana harshly.

-So, how do you want it? Wasn't that your answer when the neighbor asked you a moment ago?

Mariana could not help but clench her hands into fists. The fingers dug into her palm and the pain

made her calm down more and more.

-If you want to think so, so be it.

The atmosphere in the room became more tense. Leopoldo looked at her coldly.

Mariana no longer wanted to respond to Leopoldo. She didn't understand why he made his assistant

buy so many things, but he always said hurtful words to make her recognize herself. "Is it me who

doesn't do as he says, or is it him?"

Mariana raised her eyes and looked out the window. A feeling of helplessness invaded her body.

The sun was slowly setting, the bright yellow light was replaced by orange and red, and the

temperature had dropped so low that you couldn't feel the slightest warmth.

-Have you come to tell me this so that I will know my identity? If so, I will remember it.

"Again and again, I should have remembered. "

-Today is the day to go to Durán's mansion," the hard, cold words came out, landing in Mariana's ears.

Mariana could not help but feel bitter. This period of time was so busy that Mariana had already

forgotten about this monthly family reunion day of the Durán family.

"I can't forget the terrible thing that happened last time."

After calming down, Mariana spoke softly:

-Then I'm going to change my clothes.

When they arrived at Durán's mansion, Perla, wearing a false smile on her face, had already come to

the door to greet them.
