Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36: I am married

In the meeting room of Grupo Durán.

-The Entertainment Department is positively supporting the promotion of Empress Santa. The response was mediocre at first, but as soon as the costumes were shown, it garnered a lot of positive comments on social media, this can be considered a major setback. The movie has already become popular before it was even released!

The person who stood up was Lucio Cabrera, the general director of the Entertainment Department, who was the organizer of the "Holy Empress" project, and the popularity of the film was something he had not expected at first, which made him feel much more confident in his speech.

Leopoldo, who was sitting quietly listening to the report, looked at Lucio in silence.

The assistant then stepped forward at the appropriate time and added:

-I heard that this time it was a designer named Mariana Ortiz who is in charge of the wardrobe. She seems to be very professional

After saying that, the assistant glanced at his boss and sat back in his seat.

-Yes, yes, yes, I have heard that this designer named Mariana Ortiz seems to be quite famous in the design field.

-These six sets of dresses are really good, eye-catching and atmospheric, and the workmanship is extremely fine, so it seems that this designer is very skilled in design.

-Mr. Cabrera, if we have this kind of cooperation in the future I think we can work with this designer more often.

Hearing this, Lucio also nodded his head repeatedly.

The man who had been sitting at the end of the long table lowered his long crossed legs and bowed slightly, hands clasped together, and looked in Lucius' direction before speaking in a deep voice:

-The meeting is adjourned.

With those words, Leopoldo got up and walked away.

Those present in the meeting room looked at each other in disbelief, not really understanding how nice the boss was today.

The assistant followed Leopoldo into his office and gave him a brief briefing on his upcoming agenda before saying apparently casually:

-Mr. Cabrera says that the film's shooting progress has stalled lately, so he is a bit worried that it might not be released on schedule.

Leopoldo raised his eyes to look at his assistant and asked coolly:

-What's wrong?

-It seems that due to the recent overwhelming workload, the lady, who is the wardrobe manager for the production, has fallen ill.

After saying this, the assistant clenched her fist with some nervousness and exhaled secretly.

-I see," a cold, indifferent voice replied.

He calmly raised his head to glance at the boss, only to see that he had already lowered his head to the paperwork at hand, not reacting much to what he had just said.

He was still as expressionless as usual.

The assistant sighed inwardly, turned around and calmly walked out of the office.

The next day, when Mariana opened her eyes, she felt a little dizzy and could not help massaging her temples.

When he arrived at the crew after getting well groomed, he found that they were all gathered together with excited faces, mysteriously discussing something.

Somewhat puzzled, she approached Ana's side, quietly pointed to the surroundings and asked in a whisper:

-What's going on here?

-Mari! You are here.

He stepped forward and gave her a tight hug before Ana looked at the confused Mariana with clear eyes:

-Mari! The boss is here to visit the crew!

-The Chief? -he frowned slightly, wondering about this name.

-Oh, that's Mr. Durán! Mr. Durán took the first flight to visit our crew first thing in the morning.

At that moment, an employee walked by, looking at the excited Ana, and couldn't help but scoff:

-What a visit to our set! It's obviously a visit to Miss Solis! Now Mr. Durán is already with Miss Solís.

"Leopoldo? Is he here?"

Mariana's heart was a little restless and she slightly lowered her head, hiding some strange emotions on her face.

Since that night of passion, she had been at work and had never seen Leopoldo.

"I didn't expect you to come here - do you miss Andrea?"

A tinge of bitterness spread from the bottom of his heart, and his eyes suddenly clouded a little.

His body shuddered slightly.

"What's wrong with me?"

The woman who was teasing a moment ago saw Leopoldo and Andrea walking arm in arm, and hastily tugged at Ana's sleeve, exclaiming:

-Look! Mr. Durán and Miss Solís are together!

Hearing these words, Mariana blinked and adjusted her emotions before raising her head to look straight ahead.

The petite and charming Andrea held him intimately by the arm, occasionally tiptoeing up to the man's ear and whispering something to him, looking very sweet and affectionate.

Naturally, Andrea noticed Mariana's look, and curved her mouth more proudly, her eyes full of mockery.

He wanted Mariana to know to whom Leopoldo really belonged.

-Leo, I'm so glad you came to visit me so early," said Andrea shyly, looking at Leopoldo with loving eyes, swinging the man's arm.

-Mr. Durán and Miss Solís make such a good couple!

-Yes, yes, Mr. Durán took the plane early to come to the set just to please Miss Solís, didn't he?

-When do I get such a handsome and considerate man? I really envy Miss Solis.

Withdrawing her gaze, Mariana closed her eyes and turned around to head for the dressing room.

The woman's slightly lethargic figure rested in the man's cold, stern eyes, and Leopoldon felt some distress, but it was fleeting.

"He seems to have lost weight."

Mariana was about to open the door, but someone blocked her.

When she looked up, she met Xavier's gentle, divine eyes. He smiled at her and asked:

-What? You're not happy?

The tone of his voice contained some mockery.

-I have work to do. May I please come in?

Lowering her head and avoiding Xavier's gaze, Mariana said in the calmest possible voice.

-Why do you have to be so formal with me? At least I helped you, you can call me Xavier.

Xavier's slightly gravelly voice rang in his ears.

-Mr. Bolaño, you should know that I am already married," Mariana raised her slender hand and he saw the silver ring on her ring finger.

After a moment of silence, Xavier gave way and said politely:

-Well, that's a pity.

Ignoring these words, Mariana opened the door openly and entered, then closed the door behind her.

After a long while, he leaned gently against the back of the door, and his cold eyes were now filled with confusion and helplessness.

The heart in his chest was beating more and more furiously, as if it was about to jump out of his throat at the next moment.

With mixed emotions, I no longer knew where I was at that moment, nor did I know which way to turn.

Until her emotions calmed down, Mariana exhaled slightly and let out a few bitter laughs.

Leaving the door to which he had glued himself as if it were the door his only support, he slowly made his way toward his place of work.

Since he had offended Andrea, he had endless work to do.

There was a sudden, sharp, urgent knock on the door behind her.

A trace of doubt appeared in her eyes and she pursed her lips slightly. Mariana raised her right hand and gently covered her left breast; her heartbeat seemed to have become irregular again.

He made an effort to calm his voice as he spoke:

-Please go ahead.
