Chapter 457: Keeping secrets

Seeing that Mariana had come straight to her door, Noe didn't deny it. In any case, he could no longer hide it from the woman and follow her in silence.

-Miss Ortiz, Mr. Cantero, take your time and talk," the worker was relieved to see that the two knew each other.

The worker was worried about what he would do if Mariana got upset and complained that they had delivered the cake without permission. After all, such an act was still more or less a hidden danger to the hotel.

-Mariana, you go in first," Noe's eyes fell on Mariana and he spoke directly.

Mariana, for her part, stood hesitantly at the door.

-There is no one else. If you are not comfortable, the door can be open.... I respect your choice.

Noe put herself in Mariana's perspective and thought she felt insecure.

-It's okay, that's not what I'm worried about.

Mariana thought for a moment and walked straight into the room.

"If what you were worried about wasn't whether there was someone else, then what was it?"

-So you... -said Noe as she looked at the woman, she really wanted to know her reasoning for a few moments.

Mariana followed Noe's step and slowly entered the room. She glanced around the private kitchen before realizing that the bedroom and living room of this room was the same as her own, but it seemed to be a bit inferior in ambiance.

But overall, it was still very good.

Mariana felt strange. She had the feeling that Noe was following her on purpose and had not come to this place for a business trip. If her suspicion was correct, then it was Noe's fault.

-What would you like to drink? -Noe asked with concern as she looked at the woman.

Mariana looked around and spoke sarcastically:

-A glass of water will be fine.

She was wearing a light pastel dress and, although she was pregnant, the outfit was remarkably fresh and elegant. With just one look, Noe was spellbound by her.

-Well

Noe feared Mariana would be uncomfortable, and his eyes dared not linger on her body for too long.

-Take, your water -Noe loaded the water and handed the cup directly into Mariana's hand.

Mariana placed the cup directly on the table, then couldn't help but open her mouth to ask:

-Did you give me the cake? -She looked at him with her eyes still full of distrust and incomprehension.

-Yes," Noe answered while looking at the cake on the table.

Seeing the man say this, Mariana felt very relieved. As long as Leopoldo did not know her whereabouts, everything would be fine.

Noe could immediately see the ups and downs in Mariana's eyes.

He also poured himself a glass of water, sat down in front of the woman and continued:

-Today I was approached by Leopoldo.

"Leopoldo? That's not strange."

-What did he say to you? -Mariana looked at Noe and said with some concern.

More than what Leopoldo said, what worried her was whether Noe had discovered her trail. She had arrived in this country just in time to bump into Noe.

He should have booked economy class.

That way, there would be less chance of her being recognized.

-She came to see me personally to inquire about your whereabouts. But don't worry, I haven't said a word," Noe addressed Mariana with a single word. He did not reveal half a trace about Mariana, he would protect her.

Noe was the person who least wanted Leopoldo to replace Mariana.

It was very difficult to have this kind of opportunity, and Noe would not waste it.

-Whether you say it or not, it's your problem. Why are you following me? -Mariana pointed her finger at the man in front of her, her eyes full of surprise. She didn't want others to know her whereabouts, and among those people was Noe.

She just wanted to be calm and didn't need anyone else's help.

-Mariana, it's really hard for you to raise a child on your own.... Even if you don't think about yourself, you must think about the child you are carrying in your belly.

Noe was worried about Mariana's affairs and knew very soon that she was pregnant.

He had decided to accept the reality.

-I know clearly in my own heart whether it is difficult or not, Mr. Cantero does not need to ask any more questions, and please do not follow me anymore in the future. Mariana was not willing to accept the kindness of others, she did not need others to teach her how to live her own life.

It was not good to depend on others.

-Mariana, do you have to be so stubborn? -Noe's gaze rested on the other party's body as she opened her mouth to question her.

Stubbornness was not a good thing, it would only make Mariana go through a lot of things she shouldn't. Mariana looked at him and could not help a sneer.

-Mr. Cantero, do you think that helping me cover up and following me to protect myself is for my own good? -he asked rhetorically.

Noe paused slightly, not quite understanding what he meant. Whatever she did, everything was done with Mariana as her first priority. But now Mariana spoke as if she resented him.

-Mariana... Noe looked at her with a heart full of doubt.

Immediately after, Mariana spoke:

-Not to mention that Leopoldo doesn't know my trail yet, if he knew my trail and found out I was with you, what kind of scene do you think it would be?

What could happen between a man and a woman? Even if they are innocent, they will be misinterpreted.

Noe gave a gasp and then spoke.

-I'm sorry, Mariana, I really didn't think of that.

In his own eyes, he was stalking Mariana for her protection, but to the onlookers, that could mean something else entirely. Especially when Mariana had gotten into his car when she had disappeared from the country.

By mistake, they even boarded the same plane.

-You don't have to be sorry, if Leopoldo can replace you, then someday he'll replace me too - Mariana looked at Noe and spoke coldly. She knew very well how powerful Leopoldo was, and it was only a matter of time before he found her.

So she had to have a foolproof plan.

-Now I have only one thing to ask of you.

Noe looked at her in surprise.

-What is it that you need to ask me?

Noe was more than pleased to know that she had something to ask of him.

-Please be sure to keep this secret from me. Whatever happens, you must not let Leopoldo know I'm here," Mariana looked at Noe and told him word for word.

She couldn't let Leopoldo know. If she found out, Leopoldo would never let her go.
