Chapter 140: Very Fragile

Chapter 140: Very Fragile

It was only when the figure of the man disappeared that Diana withdrew her gaze, a tinge of contempt

crossing her eyes, then turned her head and looked at Leopold, becoming demure and virtuous.

-Leo, where are we going for dinner after the shoot today? My agent recently recommended a good

western restaurant, or shall we go there?

However, when Diana finished speaking, the other party did not respond.

The man sitting on the couch remained silent there, his lowered eyes hiding the emotions in them and

making it impossible for people to guess what he was thinking.

Rising, Diana approached him and gently nudged him.

-Leo?

Leopold raised his head and his gaze fell on her, putting aside the magazine in his hand that he had

not read.

-What's wrong?

Diana frowned with hatred as she looked at Leopold in front of her, a little displeased at heart, but as

gentle and affectionate as ever on the surface.

-Why are you so distracted? I asked you if you wanted to go to that restaurant my agent recommended

tonight.

The hand hanging at his side clenched involuntarily, the pain of the sharp nails sinking into his palm

allowing him to barely contain the anger and fear rising in his mind.

Leopold had been acting like this for a long time; in the few days he stayed with her, he had always

been in a trance from time to time, very distracted.

The man narrowed his eyes in order to hide the emotions that were short-lived, giving the impression of

being unpredictable.

-There's too much work piling up at the company these days, as you're feeling better now, I'd better get

back.

After saying this, he stood up and straightened the wrinkles in his suit jacket, with a very leisurely and

natural attitude.

At this, Diana became slightly nervous and could barely keep her smile on her face. Looking at

Leopoldo, she stepped forward and took him by the arm, whispering:

-Okay, take care of yourself on the road and call me when you get to the company.

However, there was an obvious look of loss on his face. Leopoldo frowned, spoke of nothing, nodded

and left.

Diana clenched her fists and gritted her teeth in resentment as she watched the departing figure

without looking back.

In the office of the president of Grupo Durán.

Standing in front of the window, Leopold gazed at the night scene outside, and the darkness in his eyes

seemed to be dispelled a little by the reflections in his pupils from the bright neon light.

The assistant stepped forward and looked at his boss's back, feeling a little strange. Leopold at this

moment seemed to have a different emotion than his usual seriousness and indifference, but he

remained impenetrable.

-Mr. Durán, I have investigated the matter of Miss Diana's food poisoning at your request. The woman

who had given the sandwiches and coffee to the lady to ask her to send them resigned and left for no

apparent reason, now her whereabouts are unknown.

There was a pause and the assistant raised his eyebrows.

-Continued.

Leopoldo indicated calmly.

-Yes, other than that, there is nothing unusual. But from the evidence gathered so far, it really doesn't

look like Madam was deliberately trying to harm Miss Diana, not many people know about her peanut

allergy.

After all, in a chaotic place like show business, if anyone found out about her fatal weakness, they

could plunder Diana's resources with a little trickery.

The man always standing in front of the window did not move, but his aura became more and more icy,

with a deep majesty that made the air in the office freeze a little.

-Mr. Durán, you don't think the Señora would do something like that either, do you? That's why you

asked me to look into it, so if so, why have you ignored her all this time and stayed with Miss Diana at

all times?

Finally, the assistant asked the question that had been on his mind.

Leopold stretched out his broad palm and placed it on the clean, transparent glass in front of him. His

gaze was, as always, unfeeling and deep.

Why?

In fact, he was not sure that Mariana would do such a thing, so he had asked his assistant to look into

it.

But it was actually Diana who had been injured. In his mind there was a slight suspicion that the

incident might have something to do with her.

Staying by his side at all times could take care of his injuries and also prevent him from doing anything

else.

But when the results of this ambiguous research were presented to him, he had no desire to continue.

-I know, go away.

Speaking casually, the man remained standing in front of the window.

The assistant looked at his boss and could not help but make a long face. Naturally, he, as an

assistant, could not intervene in these matters. He had no choice but to turn around and leave the

office.

The office became quiet again. Leopold fixed his gaze outside the window, deep in concentration, but

suddenly the woman's pale face came to his mind: her black hair was scattered down her back, some

of which lay in disarray beside her cheeks, looking very fragile.

A spasm went through the heart in his chest.

On this day, the crew changed the day off and it was Mariana's turn to rest, and she woke up in the Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

morning with nothing to do at home.

The director had criticized her because of her initiative in admitting that she had caused Diana's food

poisoning, but, for some reason, there was no further punishment after the criticism and he allowed her

to return.

This apparently biased move infuriated the casting staff, but they dared not contradict the director, so

he began to isolate her in private.

As a result, Mariana had not been very happy on the set during this time. Now she finally had a day off

and could relax.

However, the joy did not last long.

There was a knock at the door, followed by the nanny's voice:

-Madam, there is a lady to see you.

Confused, Mariana went to the door, opened it, looked at the nanny still standing outside, and asked

frowningly and perplexedly:

-Miss? Is it Anita?

-No, she is a young woman I have not seen before.

The nanny shook her head and quickly responded.

He had no choice but to follow the nanny downstairs, but was surprised to see an unexpected guest in

the living room, none other than Andrea, whom he had not seen for some time!

Several thoughts went through her mind as Mariana went to sit on the couch across from her and

frowned, not knowing what was going on.

-It seems we don't have a friendly relationship, I wonder why you came for me.

At this point, the nanny brought two glasses of water and placed them in front of them.

Andrea withdrew her gaze that had been observing the surroundings, before looking at Mariana in front

of her and speaking in a low voice:

-I didn't expect Miss Ortiz's house to be such a luxury, what a surprise.

Indeed, a building with such a decoration in such an area could not be achieved with a little money.

Andrea lowered her eyes, hiding the excitement in them. She lifted the glass in front of her and held it

in her hands, taking a small sip.

-But you don't even have tea in the water, Miss Ortiz, you're too stingy.

Mariana narrowed her eyes slightly and moved back to lean against the soft sofa, realizing that Andrea

had come to find trouble for her.
