Respectfully placing the photo he held in his hand on top of the boss's desk, Lionel took half a step back and stood a little farther away out of fear.
-Mr. Durán, these are the photos taken today.
His long hands picked up the photo on the desk, but in an instant, his face suddenly darkened.
In the photo it is clear that Diana and Susana are talking happily with each other, and they seem to be on... very good terms.
With cold eyes, Leopoldo raised his hand and the photo fell on the table.
-According to the investigation, Miss Diana has met with designer Susana many times since her return, and the two seem to have a good relationship, and designer Susana likes Rafael, but Rafael likes.... Diana.
The last sentence caused the assistant's tone to go lower and lower, only to feel that the air pressure in the office had also gone way down, and the air had become thin, making his chest tighten and feel a little uncomfortable.
After a long while, a cold, icy, deep voice reached his ears,
-Susana's investigation continues.
-Yes.
When Lionel heard the order, he was about to withdraw, but he did not expect Señor Durá to call him:
-Delete all traces of Diana's contact with Susana.
With a shudder in his heart, Lionel couldn't help but be a little stunned.
From the photos, it appeared that Miss Solis was probably involved in the matter of Mariana's alleged plagiarism.
And now, what Mr. Duran said was actually a conclusion that Miss Diana was involved.
But even so, he wanted to erase the traces of Miss Solis' contact with Susana, that was to... protect her, no matter what the truth was.
Both eyebrows furrowed slightly, the assistant finally answered yes.
However, shortly after the door closed, the desk phone vibrated.
Leopoldo looked at the name still flashing on the phone screen,
-What's wrong?
A soft, delicate voice came immediately from the other end of the phone, with a hint of temptation.
-Leo, there are a lot of people around the set entrance, I'm a bit scared, can you come and pick me up?
The cold, hard eyes lifted slightly, and then he looked at the picture before him. Hearing Diana's pleading voice, his emotions seemed to have no fluctuation.
-Diana, I will send someone to pick you up, the company still has a lot of unfinished business.
The words were subdued, but it was a categorical rejection of the request.
The hand holding the phone tightened, and Diana frowned.
I did not expect Leopoldo to refuse this request of his.
His heart fluttered slightly, but Mariana's face suddenly appeared in his mind, making his resentment rise.
However, the words that came out remained as gentle as ever,
-These people seem to be reporters, I think they are probably here to cover Mariana's plagiarism issue, Leo, after all I wore that plagiarized dress designed by Mariana, yes....
The words came here, Diana paused delicately, biting her lower lip slightly, the pause vaguely revealing some concern and fear.
-I'll call the director to send someone to escort you home, I'm very busy.
After saying that, without waiting for anything else to be said, he had already hung up the phone.
The documents in front of him were piling up on the table, but Leopoldo had already stood up, grabbed his suit jacket on the hanger and his long figure walked out of the office with quick steps.
He drove to the villa and just opened the door, but the room was dark, without a single ray of light.
With a touch of surprise in his cold, stern eyes, Leopoldo turned on the light. And the brightness of the room seemed to awaken the nanny, who came out of her room and looked at Leopoldo, who had returned, and said:
-Sir, you are back.
