Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Their Marriage Uncovered

Andrea's eyes were full of contempt and mockery, and even her expression became involuntarily vicious.

"This bitch is really shameless - she's only met Xavier a couple of times and she's already slept with him!"

-It's not too cold today, why are you still wearing a turtleneck sweater? -Andrea asked on purpose.

Right after launching this question, she actually heard people around her start to gossip, and all kinds of evil looks fell on Mariana instantly, making her feel slightly oppressed.

-Look, Mariana, what is this on your neck?

Mariana was startled, but in an instant she felt a slight coolness: Andrea had already lowered her high collar.

She heard scandalous voices all around her, and Mariana instantly felt very humiliated.

Last night, Leopoldo had acted too roughly and left hickeys on many parts of her body, so she had thought about wearing her collar high to cover the red marks in the morning, but she didn't expect to be exposed in front of everyone now.

The gazes of the crowd fell on his neck, covered with hickeys.

The red hickeys on the originally fair skin also showed how violent the passion movement in bed the night before was.

Several men in the crew could not help but whistle at the sight of such a scene, which was somewhat humiliating for Mariana.

-What are you doing? -a delicate voice suddenly sounded. Hearing the voice, the agitated Mariana calmed down a little and felt a bit of excitement at the same time.

It was the voice of Ana, her best friend in the company.

Ana fiercely pushed Andrea's hand, stepped forward and stood in front of Mariana to protect her.

Ana crossed her arms, looked fiercely at Andrea and ironized with coldness and sarcasm: -What kind of education have you received, Miss Solís? Why do you treat Mari so rudely? They say that Miss Solís comes from a rich and noble family, but I don't see a trace of nobility!

Ana's words were sarcastic. Mariana lowered her head slightly and smiled, very excited about her friend's help.

To have someone stand in front of her, speak up for her and defend her, she was very moved.

Hearing these words, Andrea's originally smug face froze slightly, and her eyes widened as if she was about to lose control at any moment.

But in the next second, he revealed a false smile and said:

-You're the one being irrational, aren't you? I was talking to Mariana and you're the one interrupting me and scolding me recklessly. I think you're the one who's being rude!

After a pause, Andrea nonchalantly pushed Ana, who was in front of Mariana, aside and looked angrily at Mariana, speaking with disdain:

-Speaking of education, does this woman who seduces others have nobility? Look at those hickeys on her neck, that's the best proof of her shameless seduction!

Andrea's harsh words were full of mockery and contempt, which made Mariana speechless, not knowing how to reply for a moment.

-It has nothing to do with you! Mari is still single, of course she can do whatever she wants! Or do you mean...?

Before Ana could finish her words, she felt her sleeve being gently tugged, she turned around. Seeing Mariana's pitiful appearance, her anger subsided slightly.

After Ana calmed down completely and saw Andrea's smug look, she suddenly understood that those words she had just said were like indirectly confirming those scandalous rumors between Mariana and Xavier!

At the thought of this, Ana could not help biting her lower lip and turned to look at Mariana with some trepidation, her eyes full of apologies.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Mariana patted his hand, telling him not to blame himself.

She turned around and the sweetness in her eyes disappeared, giving off a cold aura that made people shiver.

Seeing her like this, Andrea couldn't help but recoil a little.

At that instant, the Mariana in front of him seemed to have become that cold and severe man, because that cold seriousness seemed somewhat familiar.

Thinking about this, Andrea became even angrier, staring fiercely at Mariana. Anger made her raise her hand high with the intention of slapping the cheek of the woman in front of her!

The audience could not help but hold their breath at the sight of this farce.

Andrea's temperament was well known to everyone on the set: she was reckless and easily angered, but she was not that kind of violent person anyway.

The director was still inside, giving directions to the crew and preparing scenes for today's shoot, and was unaware of what was going on outside.

For a moment, viewers could not help but feel sorry for Mariana, thinking that she would have to suffer this slap today.

But in the next second the situation changed abruptly!

Andrea's wrist was held tightly and she could not move.

When Mariana looked up, she saw Xavier.

-This is not the place where you can indulge as you please!

Xavier's eyes were full of coldness, making even his handsome features become a little stiffer.

He pulled Andrea's hand mercilessly, looked around and said with a smile:

-Last night, I was just helping Miss Ortiz to get some air, and then Miss Ortiz was also picked up by the person sent by her husband. I really don't know how this caused such a misunderstanding....

Xavier's low voice reached everyone's ears, and caused a bigger uproar in the crowd.

-Is Mariana already married?

-Don't tell me! So young he's married? Then those hickeys on his neck...?

-Her husband must have left them! Mariana is so pretty and has such a good figure, her husband must love her very much!

Mariana naturally heard these comments from her colleagues, lowered her head slightly embarrassed, and unconsciously fingered the delicate ring on her ring finger, with a slightly dazed expression.

"Is my relationship with him finally revealed?"

Hearing this, Ana, who had been looking admiringly at Xavier to the side, turned her head in disbelief to look at her best friend, but not hearing her rebuttal, and then looking at the movements of her fingers, Ana already believed Xavier's words.

-Mari, you're already married! Why didn't you ever tell me?

-You've been wearing this ring, and I thought you just really liked it, but I didn't expect it to be your wedding ring! Mari, you should have told me! -Anna grumbled as she pretended to be angry.

-Anita, I'm so sorry. I really didn't mean to hide it from you - after saying that, Mariana lowered her head again, with a slightly bitter look on her face.

Seeing her like this, Ana also fell silent without complaining any more.

"Does she feel unhappy in the marriage?"

Outside the office of Grupo Durán's president.

The assistant hung up the phone and looked at the closed door, hesitating whether or not to enter.

Finally, he pushed open the door and entered.

-Mr. Durá, the lady has been misunderstood and that Xavier Bolaño.... -There was a pause before the assistant continued- -The fact that the lady is married has been exposed.

After saying this, the assistant raised his head and looked carefully at the boss behind his desk.

This morning the assistant was investigating the drug issue as instructed by his boss, but he had never expected to come across something so scandalous on the set and now he had to report this to his serious and indifferent boss. What bad luck he had today!

-What happened?

Hearing this, the assistant hurried to recap everything that had happened at the scene for Leopold.

After these words were spoken, the office fell into a long silence.

The man sitting behind the desk put the pen down in his hand and leaned back slightly, tapping his knuckles rhythmically against the wooden desk. The sound of his knuckles rapping on the desk adding a touch of tension to the already slightly dull atmosphere.

A hint of dissimulation crossed the man's dark eyes, and Leopold coolly ordered:

-There is no need to investigate further about drugging at the meeting.
