Chapter 79: News about that woman

-Mariana? Are you here to see me? Have you finished with your business?

When Mariana turned around, she looked at the director who was standing behind her looking at her with surprise.

-Why do you want to see me?

There was no trace of anger, not even a hint of displeasure, which made Mariana think of that man.

Mariana sat down in front of the director, holding with both hands the coffee he was handing her, and after a pause, she said:

-Director, sorry, because of my grandmother's illness, I left the set, it's my fault for causing trouble to the director.

The director waved his hand nonchalantly, smiled and looked at Mariana:

-Mr. Durán has already told me about this, your grandmother is very ill and there is no one to take care of her, am I not clear about the importance of the matter?

Mariana shook her head in fright and blushed:

-Of course not.

-In this case, you can go back now, probably because grandma's condition has also stabilized. You still have to pay more attention to the theater costume set, work hard, okay?

-Yes.

Mariana nodded seriously.

After leaving the director's room, Mariana felt relieved and her pace on the road was much lighter. The person she should thank most was Leopoldo, he had helped her a lot, whether it was for her, for the set o for Zoraida.

After work, Mariana went to the supermarket and bought a lot of meat and vegetables. She wanted to prepare a big meal to thank Leopoldo. She had always received help from him during this period of time, so Mariana had to thank him.

When she returned home, Mariana looked at the nanny next to her and smiled:

-I'll cook tonight. If you have nothing to do, go home early.

At these words, the nanny was stunned for a moment, but then a satisfied smile appeared on her face and she hastened to nod her head:

-Well, it's weird that madam wants to cook for sir yourself, so I'm not going to disturb your world, so I'll go home.

The words "the world of you" flashed through Mariana's mind, causing her cheeks to flush slightly.

After more than an hour of preparation, Mariana took off her apron and looked with satisfaction at the six dishes on the table.

Mariana didn't know what Leopoldo liked to eat, so she prepared a few dishes that she was better at, so that if Leopoldo liked them, she could make them for him next time.

Mariana sat at the table and looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was already after nine o'clock.

"Leopoldo should be back soon."

From time to time, Mariana glanced at the wall clock, but the light in Mariana's eyes was fading.

The food on the table was already cold, and the hand of the clock was already pointing up, it was already midnight.

Leopoldo had not yet returned.

A slight worry ran through her heart, Mariana picked up her cell phone, hesitated for a moment and dialed.

Soon, the phone was picked up and Mariana said cheerfully at once:

-Why aren't you back so late yet?

However, in the next moment, Mariana's smile came to an abrupt end. The light in Mariana's eyes also went out completely, like the food in front of her, cold and untouched.

-Who is it?

Mariana bit her lower lip hard and did not respond.

It was Andrea who answered her.

There was a moment of silence there too, and then the voice came out:

-Mariana? How did you get Leo's cell phone number? Calling at such a late hour is really shameless.

Then Andrea laughed at Mariana:

-Leo is not here right now, he has gone to take a shower and won't be out for a while, Miss Ortiz, do you want to keep waiting? Or if there is something important to say, I can pass it on for you. The words were full of provocation, with a deep sense of sarcasm, but containing a slight trace of anger.

"Right now, he and Andrea are together. "This knowledge made Mariana's heart strings snap all at once, those first tender feelings of maintenance disappeared in an instant, as if they had never existed. -I'm sorry, I have the wrong number.

Mariana hung up the phone.

Staring at the cold food in front of her, Mariana picked up a fork and stuck it in her mouth, chewing it carefully before swallowing with difficulty.

"Yes, Andrea was the one who has been following him around and making scandals with him."

"Even when he went to Mrs. Perez's house, Leopoldo took her with him. Andrea is the one he approved of in his heart. I, on the other hand, am just a woman with whom he has an agreed marriage contract, and from the beginning it's... for money.

Mariana could not tolerate the empty room and went upstairs. Her back was helpless, like a worn and damaged rag doll that had been unceremoniously abandoned in a corner.

And at that moment, Leopoldo was indeed at Andrea's house.

Leopoldo picked up the cell phone on the table and glanced at the time on it before a hint of impatience crossed his eyes.

-Tell me.

Hearing this, Andrea handed one of the two tall glasses she was holding to Leopoldo, she said in a flirtatious and innocent voice:

-Leo, since you're here, why do you have to leave so early? Have another glass of wine.

Andrea's body leaned forward, from the wide open collar you could clearly see her beautiful body, Andrea was wrapped in a white robe, without any extra decoration, wet hair hanging over her shoulders, full of seductive intent.

Coldly averting his gaze, Leopold's face remained as normal, unmoved by the beauty.

-News about that woman.

The cold, hard words fell on Andrea's ears, not wanting to say another word.

With a quick flash of impatience in her eyes, and with a cold brutality hidden inside, Andrea sat upright and leaned back slightly, sinking into the plush couch.

-Leo, that woman has been gone for a long time, and you're still....

There was a pause, feeling some difficulty in her throat, and Andrea couldn't help taking a sip of wine:

-He's living the good life abroad. Leo, and he doesn't need you.

It was a cruel and cold sentence.

Leopold shivered imperceptibly, his eyes a dark stream before returning to calm:

-Is that all you have to tell me today?
