Chapter 385: Mrs. Durán Deserves It

Chapter 385: Mrs. Durán deserves it

When the director saw how reasonable Mariana was, he secretly exhaled in his heart.

It was logical that such a good woman should not be tied down.

-Yes.

The director looked carefully at Leopoldo, who was at his side, and prepared to withdraw. The rest of the matter could only be left in Mariana's hands. -Why are you taking him out?

Leopoldo looked down at his phone, not caring in the least about the stares of those around him. He also knew that there were many eyes behind him as well, but it had nothing to do with him. Mariana chewed the meat in her mouth and couldn't help but say:

-I can't eat with him standing here.

-Is that so?

Leopoldo raised his eyes to look at Mariana and turned off the phone. He had a different frame of mind toward Mariana. This woman clearly had something in her heart.

She had been like this since the studio visit.

Leopoldo could tell at a glance, as he was not a person with little insight.

-Yes," Mariana did not deny it and answered.

How come Leopoldo is willing to be so serious with me, and isn't his tone a little softer in this situation?

Mariana thought about it in her heart and felt that it couldn't be more normal.

If Leopoldo had been nice, he would have made her feel abnormal.

-Are you unhappy with the study? -Leopoldo asked after a moment's reflection.

The change in her mood was really when she came downstairs. So the only possibility would be that it was related to the study. As for the looks from the people around her, Mariana had suffered enough. But she wouldn't get depressed over something trivial.

-No," Mariana looked at the man and immediately denied it. How could she be unhappy about the study? Such a study would be good for anyone.

Leopoldo looked at her and said nothing.

Seeing that the moment was almost propitious, Mariana looked at the manager who looked at her out of the corner of his eye before speaking:

-If I tell you, can you take back what you just said to the manager?

-Are you making a deal with me? -Leopoldo asked rhetorically as he looked at the woman.

A meal was a meal, and what Leopoldo said was not directed at anyone. He was simply trying to punish those who looked at him differently, and in that sense, he did not feel he had done anything wrong. On the contrary, it was Mariana who had the sense to talk to him about the conditions.

-Forget it if you don't agree.

Mariana did not want to negotiate with Leopoldo and played lost. She continued eating her steak and no longer looked at the man in front of her.

Leopoldo looked at Mariana and felt a little amused.

When was it Mariana's turn to play such tricks on him?

-Did you really not feel uncomfortable because those people were looking at you?

Instead of saying yes to the other person right away, Leopoldo started asking about her desires.

Mariana was stunned, looked up and said:

-No.

Not quite, so the impact was almost negligible.

-Okay then, I promise.

Leopoldo accepted with alacrity, it was not a problem. Seeing that Leopoldo agreed to retract what he had just said, Mariana looked at the director and smiled faintly.

The director exhaled with ease at Mariana's response.

In just ten seconds, the entire service staff of the restaurant was summoned by the director to the back of the kitchen. The incident had a major repercussion and there was sure to be a next time if the manager did not take drastic action.

Seeing that the workers had withdrawn, the corners of Leopoldo's mouth lifted slightly.

Under his nose, Mariana also dared to pass the message to the director. This woman's audacity was by no means small. Leopoldo feigned indifference and looked at the woman in front of him.

-Now you can speak," Leopoldo looked self-conscious as he said it.

Mariana chewed the meat in her mouth and took a sip of wine without panic, then wiped her mouth with a tissue and looked at the man:

-I think the rent for the studio is too expensive to pay.

She had a real burden on her mind regarding the rent.

If she didn't say it out loud, it would always be a big knot in her heart. By taking this opportunity, Mariana could unburden all the worries in her heart.

In the early days of the studio, it was impossible to have so much money to give Leopoldo.

How could she create this company if she couldn't even pay the rent?

-Is it for such a trivial matter? -Leopoldo laughed, he did not expect that instead of doing his best to provide the best conditions for Mariana, he had become a burden. Leopoldo was heartbroken and thought she was cute at the same time.

-This is not a trivial matter for me," Mariana looked at him across the room and said earnestly. If it really outweighed the cost, then there would be no benefits. Simple truths, Mariana still understood.

-Then you don't believe in yourself," Leopoldo picked up the red wine next to him, took a light sip and said to the woman in front of him. The more he came into contact with Mariana's character, the more he liked her.

She always held an infinite interest for him.

-I don't want to be conceited.

Seeing that the man did not understand at all what was bothering him inside, Mariana blurted out a resounding sentence.

Leopoldo looked at the woman's determined eyes and nodded.

-Then, what do you want me to do?

-I don't want a room here, okay? -Mariana looked at him and spoke her mind. Although the price of the property was high, this building had a prime location.

Even if it's vacant and re-rented, it was still in high demand.

-You just saw it, and I spent a lot of money on the decoration. If you don't want it, it means the money has been spent for nothing," Leopoldo wanted Mariana to accept the goodwill and not feel pressured. Mariana looked at the other party, slightly stunned.

She knew Leopoldo was cheating her. It was only the cost of the renovation, how much could it be? This man, he's just giving her a hard time, making things difficult for her.

Mariana sat back in her chair with some doubts.

-Is it such a mental burden to ask you to accept my kindness? -Leopoldo looked at her and said with slight expectation. He hoped she would accept.

-But... -Mariana could not convince herself and wanted to turn back.

But before she could finish, Leopoldo spoke and gagged her:

-This is what you deserve as Mrs. Durán, don't feel any burden.

His intention was clear and he will always have her back.

-Huh? -Mariana looked at the other party, suspicious.

-The meaning is not clear enough, you need me to repeat it again, don't you? -Leopoldo looked at Mariana and then spoke again.

Mariana nodded, surprised.

-Mrs. Durán?

-Yes," Leopoldo looked at the woman, unfazed. He intended to give Mariana a wedding at the end of the year, so that everyone would know she was his bride.

As for the past, it was all prologue.

-Have you finished eating?

Leopoldo saw Mariana holding her little brain, thinking for half a day but unable to come up with a result. He did not want to continue in this restaurant, the gastronomic experience was not good. If Mariana had not interceded, the restaurant would probably have to be renovated tomorrow.
