Chapter 356: Refusing Leopoldo's Request

-I should have expected that, after such a major incident, you wouldn't come to my office alone.

Leopold was driving his car, cold-blooded and heartless.

I guessed as much, but there was a glimmer of hope in his heart.

But as soon as he saw Noe, inwardly he felt disappointed. She hadn't really come alone, Noe was behind her and it was ridiculous to think so.

-I didn't ask Noe to accompany me," Mariana felt aggrieved and gritted her teeth.

Why did this man never believe her?

Without saying a word, Leopoldo drove on.

-He came on his own," seeing that the man said nothing, Mariana spoke again.

Mariana knew that Noe came on his own and the two had come for different reasons. She understood what Leopoldo was thinking and was worried about how he saw her. That's why she did her best to explain.

She wanted Leopoldo to stop being a little suspicious, at least just a little.

-Mariana, people tend to say only what they want to say, not what they are willing to say," Leopoldo drove on and spoke coldly.

What he meant was that Mariana was lying.

-Why can't you trust me? -Mariana looked at him. If this man could trust her a little more, he wouldn't have made things so rigid.

She saw it clearly and there was no point in worrying about it.

-Aren't you choosing only what you want to trust? -Mariana asked with a tone full of loss. Anyway, it was not the first time that Leopoldo distrusted her. Hearing Mariana's words, Leopoldo suddenly pushed the car away. He looked cold and sat down in front of the driver's seat without moving a muscle.

Mariana kept silent, not wanting to say much.

Talking now would not make things better.

-Noe likes you, right? -After finishing his sentence, Leopoldo took a bottle of water from the side and drank it.

Men knew men best, and Leopoldo knew what Noe was trying to do.

-I don't know," Mariana ducked her head with a different attitude.

She didn't know what Noe had in mind, nor did she want to know. She knew where she stood, and even if the other person liked her, it would never come to anything. Looking at it from another point of view, the issue was meaningless.

-You're the one involved," Leopoldo looked at her and said sternly.

He could not allow that other men did not want his wife, the only thing he could do was to stop Mariana from accepting those men. That was all Leopoldo could do. Mariana did not say a word, and listened quietly to the man vent.

-What do you want me to do? -Mariana sat in the passenger seat, lowered her head a little and asked the other party in a low voice.

Faced with this kind of thing, she could only ask Leopoldo for help.

-Terminate cooperation with Noe - Leopold's eyes were firm and immovable as he affirmed the solution. To leave no hope, it was necessary to curtail any form of encounter.

Leopoldo knew exactly what Noe was doing.

That man was someone vile and shameless.

-I can't do it.

Mariana's hands clenched so tightly that her skirt. Leopoldo had originally announced to the public that he had rescinded his contract with her, and now he wanted to interfere with her work with Noe. It was just a filming project, why did Leopoldo have to intervene?

-Mariana, what do you mean? -Leopoldo turned his head and his eyes fixed on the woman.

It seemed that the kitten had grown up and knew how to fight its owner.

-I... I don't want to say anything else, but I have to do this shooting," Mariana sighed before her eyes turned to Leopoldo and she spoke unhurriedly.

Leopoldo smiled coldly, suddenly feeling overbearing and unreasonable in his request.

He said nothing more and left in the direction of his home. All the while he looked at ease, without a single high or low. Seeing the man like that, although Mariana felt panic in her heart, she did not dare to say a word.

She knew better than anyone what Leopoldo was like.

After parking the car in front of the house, Leopoldo handed the keys to the housekeeper and went upstairs alone. As for Mariana, who was standing next to him, she was in no mood to ask another word.

-Señor Durán?

Ramón saw Durán's reaction and felt momentarily unsure of the situation.

Mariana stayed in place with a somewhat ugly expression.

He left alone, so how could he worry about saving her dignity? Mariana mentally reassured herself and took a step forward in the direction of the living room.

Should she really not participate in Noe's project?

No sooner had she sat down than she received a call from Noe. It was then that Mariana thought that, being so busy arguing with Leopoldo, she had forgotten to answer Noe's call.

She would feel very guilty if he was still waiting for her in the parking lot.

-Hello, Mr. Cantero," Mariana took the call with a cold look on her face.

Noe waited until the woman answered the phone and asked anxiously:

-Mariana, it's been so long, have you gone yet?

She went to where she was supposed to go to look for Mariana, but she was not there.

After so long, the phone wasn't working, so naturally, Noe couldn't resist going upstairs to check her whereabouts. As expected, Mariana had disappeared.

Mariana pondered for a moment, and did not deny it.

-Yes, Leopoldo took me.

The moment the word "Leopoldo" came out, Noe's whole body froze slightly.

-Mr. Durán? When did he come down? I didn't notice," still putting on a normal face, Noe answered.

He was still in the parking lot and hadn't moved a step.

-Well, Mr. Cantero, I'll hang up first if there's nothing else.

Remembering Leopoldo's attitude a moment ago, Mariana thought it best to hang up the phone as soon as possible.

Noe's heart froze and she looked at the contract next to her. Before he could finish the words on her lips, she hung up the phone. There was no rush, there would always be a chance to see Mariana again. -Madam, what would you like to eat this afternoon?

The nanny, who was in charge of cooking, came over specifically to ask Mariana.

Mariana smiled bitterly and felt she could not eat.

-It's not necessary, I just want to go upstairs for a nap.

With a soft smile, she left the room.

Confused, the nanny couldn't help but mutter to herself:

-What's strange, none of the gentlemen are hungry while everyone is at home?

Pushing aside her annoyance, Mariana stood in front of Leopoldo's door and hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she decided not to call him and walked in the direction of the guest room.

At times like this, both parties should be calm.

-You don't even dare to knock on the door and come in? -Leopoldo looked at the door depressed and took a big sip of his wine.

He was very irritable and needed the wine to lower the fire.

If Mariana had easily agreed not to cooperate with Noe, he wouldn't have had this headache. It was just a project, why did Mariana like him so much?

With Mariana's character, she rarely disobeyed him.

Thinking about this, Leopoldo picked up the phone from his desk and dialed his secretary's number.
