Chapter 136: The Arrival of the Boss

-How could he do this? The director already investigated this case, someone wanted to harm Miss Diana, she is also a victim! But he was kind enough to apologize to Mariana, but what an attitude he has! -Yes! I have never seen such a mean person! Compared to Miss Diana, she is a nasty person with an ugly appearance and an ugly heart.

-No wonder Miss Diana had so many fans as soon as she came back to the country! I like pretty girls with a good personality too. And look at Mariana, no wonder so many people hate her!

As countless comments reached Mariana's ears, she made no response, but her smile disappeared.

The scene was a bit awkward for a moment.

At this instant, Xavier stepped forward and grabbed Mariana's slender wrist with his hand, pulling her behind him and protecting her.

-Now that Mariana has accepted Miss Solis' apology, let us all get on with our business.

With that, he was about to lead her out, but the next moment he didn't expect to meet resistance: Mariana's other wrist was pulled by the other man.

She looked up subconsciously and stiffened.

It was Leopoldo.

-Director, since when do so many people gossip on the set? Gossiping during work can interfere with work, and the company doesn't need employees like that.

The tone of his voice was cold and his eyes were even colder. His gaze went straight to the director standing to the side.

A single word from him could decide the fate of these people.

The director, who had not expected Leopoldo's sudden arrival, rubbed his hands together, not knowing what to do. Cold sweat broke out and covered his entire forehead. He stepped forward and said with a nod of his head:

-Of course.

Then, looking behind him at the deputy director, he whispered some instructions.

The people who had just been talking about Mariana were now pale and trembling with fear, wondering how they had provoked their boss just for a few comments.

Mariana frowned and looked up to see a pair of long shadowy eyes, inside which a coldness filled, like a silent darkness, that did not let the light through.

The words that had reached the tip of his tongue stopped again, stuck between his throat, unable to rise or fall.

With a strong tug, Leopoldo pulled her into his arms.

Mariana hastily grabbed the clothes in front of the man's chest and thus managed to avoid falling backwards. She struggled to let go of him, but the man held her more tightly in his arms so that she was immobilized.

Consecutive gasps and exclamations sounded from all sides. Looking at the few people who were surrounded by the center, everyone could not help but open their eyes and be dumbfounded. They had never expected such a scene to emerge before their eyes.

One was a well-known national actor who was gaining momentum, while the other was the president of one of the country's leading companies, either of whom was one of the most important people in the country, but who were now fighting over a woman, one who was nothing.

The wrist that had been in his hand suddenly disappeared and Xavier subconsciously took in the air that was flowing between his fingers, as if the soft sensation was still in the same place.

He smirked and was somewhat irritated for no apparent reason at the sight of the woman clasped in Leopoldo's arms.

-Mr. Durán, what are you doing? Your wife is here looking at you, I don't think it's good for you to be cuddling with another woman.

With that, his gaze seemed to shift to Diana who had a grim face and gritted teeth.

The surprise she had felt at seeing Leopold had been completely dismantled by now, replaced by the anger that continued to clash and pound inside her. He could barely contain it anymore. He had not thought that he had not looked at her since Leopold arrived, and such knowledge made his whole heart grow cold.

There was even a hint of fear rising from deep within.

Diana made a point of smiling and clenched her fists, the stinging sensation of the sharp nails digging through her palms discomforting her smile on her face.

Stepping forward, he walked towards Leopold with a still calm and friendly appearance.

-Leo, what are you doing? Let Mariana go.

At this point, the atmosphere became more awkward, and all eyes fell on Mariana's wrist that Leopoldo was holding.

It was a game of those two women.

Mariana lowered her eyes and an inexplicable feeling welled up in her heart, faint but impossible to ignore.

His heart could not stop beating violently in his chest.

The hand on her wrist suddenly tightened and pain instantly spread through her body, causing her to frown.

Surprise and excitement rushed through his head at the same time.

However, the man gave her no glance. In the next instant, she felt the force on her wrist disappear and the warm chest on which she had been leaning also receded.

It was then that a relaxed smile returned to Diana's face. She stepped forward and pushed Mariana aside and stood next to Leopoldo, wrapping her arms around the man as if informing everyone who he belonged to, clinging to him and smiling softly.

Mariana, who was pushed aside, lost her balance before she could react. A second before she was about to fall to the ground, she threw herself into a warm embrace.

She thought of something, raised her eyes sharply with a faint gleam in them, but the next moment she saw who was in front of her, she suddenly disappeared. The person who caught it was Xavier.

After meeting her gaze, Xavier held his breath as a great helplessness welled up in his heart, almost consuming him.

But the smile became more and more playful, fixed so solidly on the face like a mask that would not come off no matter what. -Thank you!

Sighing, Mariana hurriedly got up from Xavier's arms.

Accidentally raising his head, he saw that Leopold was looking down at the woman next to him, with an infinitely tender gaze, quite the opposite of the coldness he had just shown. Mariana froze completely, and an endless bitterness flooded her heart, causing her eyes to fill with tears.

And at this moment, Diana turned her head and eyed her meaningfully. In her curved eyes were filled with triumph and mockery, and a sneer spread at the corners of her mouth. -Leo, since you have come to see me, let's go then, the director will take care of the rest.

His gaze fell on the director, who nodded hurriedly.

Leopold looked at the man and woman standing on the other side with a dark indifference in his eyes, but everything was hidden under those black pupils.

He took the lead in taking steps, Diana followed close behind and the two of them left together.

Staring at the backs of the two as they walked away, Mariana's heart was beating wildly, as if she had been cruelly dragged from heaven to earth, and even to the immense hell. She had not expected Leopoldo to appear out of nowhere, to lead her to his side in such a situation and to free her from the constant gossip.

But also in the next breath, he again chose another woman and.... he left her.
