Chapter 384: High Rents

Chapter 384: High Rents

-Huh?

Mariana hesitated for a while before turning back to Leopoldo. Her face was full of surprise and she looked at Leopoldo beside her with extreme confusion, but her heart was full of doubts. What a pity to give him such expensive resources.

-Are you still not hungry? Do you plan to remain in the clouds?

The original intention was that, after the studio visit, the two of them would be ready to go to dinner.

How come Mariana didn't seem to be hungry?

-I feel a little hungry," Mariana touched her stomach, thinking. She looked carefully at Leopoldo, willing to replace an opportunity to talk to him about the rent later.

You couldn't live in a house for nothing, that's her principle.

-It's not far, we'll go for steak, or don't you want to eat steak?

Leopoldo was well aware of Mariana's feelings and did not forget to ask her preferences, dinner could not be based solely on what he wanted to eat.

That would have been doomed.

-I'm fine," Mariana looked carefully at Leopoldo and answered quickly.

For her, the most important thing now was not what to eat, but how to pay the rent. The rent for the studio Leopoldo had found was not really high for him.

But she couldn't stand it.

-All right, I asked in advance," Leopoldo looked at her, not forgetting to say something.

He was a shareholder of the place, so it wasn't hard to get in touch with the manager to order the food in advance. Mariana nodded, implying that she knew. She just had to eat and not worry about anything. Mariana said nothing and followed close behind Leopoldo.

-Greetings, Mr. Durán.

When they got out of the elevator, they saw that someone immediately greeted them.

Leopoldo made a cold face, nodded his head and headed inside the restaurant. It was the first time he had been to this restaurant. But no one who worked here didn't know Leopoldo. After all, he was the restaurant's largest shareholder.

And in real life, he was also a very high-profile man. So there wasn't a single person here who didn't know Leopoldo.

The same was true of Mariana's identity.

The hot minute the night before, the people in the restaurant were shocked and very surprised to see Mariana here. Was she with Leopoldo or with Noe?

Why did she go directly to Noe's company after terminating your contract with Leopoldo?

There was a lot of doubt here.

-Sit down.

Leopoldo did not notice the eyes of the people around him at all and asked Mariana directly to sit down in front of him. The steak he had ordered was already placed in front of the table. Leopoldo's time was worth a lot of money and he simply wasn't going to wait much longer on something that had no value.

Mariana had been with him so long that she had long since become aware of his habits. It was just that the stares of the people around her made her feel a little uncomfortable.

It was a particularly bad feeling to be watched.

-Why doesn't he eat? Isn't he to your liking?

Leopoldo took two bites of his food before looking up and seeing that Mariana still hadn't touched her. He looked at the information on his phone and refocused his eyes on Mariana's body.

If the steak wasn't to her liking, she'd replace a way to get Mariana to eat something else.

Her tastes didn't have to be the same as his.

-No," Mariana sighed and denied the other party's speculation. She hesitated for a moment before picking up the knife and fork and eating as if nothing had happened.

It seemed that Leopoldo was very hungry.

Eating the meat in her mouth, Mariana chewed badly and still could not let go. At that moment, Leopoldo had already realized that something was wrong with Mariana, he put down the cutlery and wiped the corner of his lips.

-Is there something you want to tell me? -Leopoldo's eyes rested on Mariana's body and he asked with concern.

When his words finished falling, Mariana raised her head with a look of surprise.

She hesitated for a moment, looking around the room, only to realize that the glare from the people around her had actually been on her. It was as if she had done something wrong and had to endure those stares.

Leopoldo felt a little annoyed as an afterthought.

It was no wonder Mariana couldn't let go, it was all because of these people.

-Manager -Leopoldo looked at Mariana and called the director.

The manager heard Leopoldo's call and hurried over to him. When Leopoldo called him that way, the director's heart began to feel apprehensive. If there was no problem with the environment, nor with the steak, then there was a problem with the people.

-Señor Durán," the director stepped forward cautiously.

Leopoldo did not even look at him, his eyes were always on Mariana.

-Have the people in your store gone through vocational training or not?

It was at this comment that Leopoldo's eyes rested on the director for a moment.

This look alone was enough for the director to be unable to say anything. Speaking of these people who were the store's waiters, then naturally Leopoldo was full of dislike towards these people.

On the other hand, it is the manager's responsibility.

-Mr. Durán, I am sorry for the distress I have caused you and Miss Ortiz by reinforcing on the staff side -the manager went about talking, shaking all over.

He had a hard time replaceing a good job and now he was going to be fired again.

-Is there any point in apologizing? You didn't do a good job in recruiting and now you're asking me to teach you? -Leopoldo looked at him, his words full of dissatisfaction. This affair was indeed the manager's fault.

Seeing this scene, Mariana felt very intolerant in her heart.

-Is there a private room?

Mariana wanted to apologize to the manager and not let things get too ugly.

She had suffered many empty stares when she entered this industry, and she didn't have to count on it. Seeing Mariana speak, the manager was quick to nod and replied:

-Yes there is!

His manner was urgent and he said several yeses in a row.

-No, replace all the people in the store. As long as there are people present today, no one can stay.

Once Leopold's words were explained, he prepared to leave.

There was really no room for sand in his eyes.

-Leopoldo... -Mariana looked at him and lightly called his name.

Leopoldo had no soft heart. His only attention was on Mariana's plate, which hadn't been touched much, and then he asked patiently:

-Are you not full? I can wait for you.

-I... I, hmm," Mariana continued to cut the steak with everyone's attention.

If he hurried to eat now, she could redeem herself while she still had time. But any normal person, who had seen such a news item last night, would be curious.

So in this case, she couldn't blame these people.

-Manager, go ahead and get to work," Mariana cut a piece of meat and hinted to the manager to leave.

She should at least have a chance to spend some time alone with Leopoldo before replaceing an opportunity to talk to him. Naturally, Mariana knew more about Leopoldo's temperament than anyone else.
