Chapter 493: Thick Skin

Emily still had a chance.

The driver told Emily in detail what he had seen and about Leopold's call, his expression grim and lightless.

-That's basically it, Miss Velazquez, Mr. Duran is not in a very good mood.

Emily was happy to hear it.

-Okay, I get it.

-Be a good boy, Daniel, sleep well.

Mariana gently caressed her son's shoulder and reassured him as best she could, but her mind kept thinking unconsciously about Leopoldo.

That man occupied a very important part of her life.

The more she thought about it, the more Mariana kept hinting to herself not to think about it anymore. It wouldn't do her any good to think about it. She and that man were over.

That was the truth and she had to be fully aware of that.

Mariana looked at her son, carefully picked him up and headed for the bedroom.

At seven-thirty in the morning, the secretary sat at her desk and yawned inwardly. In order to finish her work as soon as possible, the secretary came early every day. She would only be safe if she arrived before Leopoldo.

-Ma'am, are you here already?

The secretary looked straight ahead and met the cleaning lady.

The lady smiled and prepared to enter the office as usual. Leopoldo's office was one of the neatest rooms in the whole company, but at the same time it was also one of the most important.

From the first day she had cleaned the president's office, the lady had reminded herself never to take things lightly.

-I'm going in.

As usual, Madame was ready to go straight to the office.

It used to be a bit of a problem, since Leopoldo stayed in the office all night and didn't know how to go out. But since he has met Mariana, Leopoldo's whole character changed drastically and the habit of staying up late at work also changed.

-Well," the secretary smiled at him with a placid look.

Leopoldo was unlikely to be in the office anyway, so this was a good time to get in shape before work and wait for a new and better day. As soon as Leopoldo entered the office, she would start her work. -What's going on? -said the lady to herself as she stood in the doorway.

The secretary looked in the lady's direction and hurried to get up to check the situation. If the lady was reacting like that, something had surely happened.

-What's wrong?

Looking at the other woman, the secretary took a step forward only to be startled.

Neither of them expected Leopoldo to be in the office.

As the secretary sat down, she faintly heard the sound of a keyboard, but thought she was hallucinating and never imagined that Leopoldo had actually been in the office the whole time.

It had been two whole weeks since Leopoldo had worked in the office like this, so this scene was very surprising to the secretary.

-Mr. Durán," the secretary looked at the man and called him quietly.

Looking at Leopoldo like this, she understood that he had no intention of stopping his work, so she made a slight gesture to the lady to do something else. The lady understood the meaning and left of her own free will.

-What is it? -Leopoldo asked in a low voice without looking up.

The secretary looked at him and her nerves immediately tensed, she even began to tremble slightly.

-Señor Durán, have you been here since last night? -she asked incredulously.

-Yes," Leopoldo answered quietly.

After leaving Mariana's house, he came directly to the company and worked until now. When the secretary observed the man's condition, her heart clenched and she could not help but say:

-Mr. Durán, have you worked since last night?

"Mr. Durán is a robot who doesn't want his body?"

Leopoldo remained silent, already feeling disgusted.

-I will go take care of my work.

Seeing that the man's expression was off, the secretary immediately said she would leave. She knew Leopoldo's temperament, so she could not afford to mess with him.

She just had to worry about not being a nuisance to him.

As the door closed, the secretary lingered in the doorway before giving herself a breather. If she had been working since last night, when had Leopold returned to the office to work without a care in the world? "This man is very scary."

Sitting in her office, the secretary's mind was racing and she wondered what exactly Leopoldo was doing to be so abnormal. But after thinking for half a day, her mind had no exact answer.

-Hello.

A sudden greeting startled the secretary.

She quickly perked up and looked at the person in front of her. Only to see that the person standing in front of her was none other than Emily.

"Was this woman here to work for the company or to spy on Mr. Duran?"

Not even being Leopoldo's girlfriend, she started to play the wife.

-Miss Velazquez," the secretary looked away and called out to her in a low voice.

Emily's eyes flicked from the secretary's head to her tail, revealing a look of disdain, and then she spoke:

-Has Leopoldo come to work?

She was clearly aware that since last night, Leopoldo had not been out.

-Yes," the secretary nodded vigorously, without telling Emily that the man had stayed the night.

Once Emily got the answer, she set out to walk in the direction of the office. She shot a glance at the other woman and continued on, not thinking twice about her companion. The secretary saw her approaching, panicked and blocked her.

-Wait a minute, Miss Velazquez," the secretary stood up nervously.

Not everyone could see the President without an appointment.

-What? Do you want to stop me? -Emily looked at her and said mercilessly. This secretary was no match for her.

-I didn't mean that, Miss Velazquez.

It wasn't that the secretary didn't know where Emily came from, but the company had rules. And those rules were established by Leopoldo.

Whoever she was, she had to respect the rules.

-Then why don't you hurry up and get out of my way?! -Emily looked at her angrily.

No one could stop her, there was nothing Emily couldn't do.

Seeing the arrogance of the other party, the secretary could only yield to her.

Emily was Leopoldo's rotten peach.

-Brother Leopoldo -Emily pushed open the door and called out to him softly.

The secretary's eyes fell on the woman and a shiver ran through her heart. "Brother Leopold?"

That was simply too corny, but it was Leopoldo's fate to accept this woman's stalking.
