Looking at the man in front of her, Mariana finally bent at the waist, raising a sneer in her mouth as she felt a pang of sadness.
-I'm sorry.
I hadn't thought that someday he would have to apologize for something he hadn't done, how ridiculous.
But as she looked at Ana who was restrained by two bodyguards, she struggled to suppress the nausea that kept coming.
-Since Mariana has already said so, there is no need for me to think about it.
Taking the man's arm, Diana's eyes contained a soft smile as she said:
-That's enough Leo, since she apologized, don't get angry, okay? Let the girl go.
Leopold looked coldly at the woman with a look tinged with scrutiny for a moment before turning to Diana and looking at her with a somewhat softer expression.
-Let her go.
Diana stepped forward to embrace him and, despite the crowd gathered around them, stood on tiptoe, dropping a soft kiss on Leopold's left cheek.
He was stunned and subconsciously looked at Mariana, and Ana, a little frightened by the suddenness of the situation, still continued shouting:
-Diana, what is this? Let me go if you dare! What's this about you asking them to take me away when I won the argument?
With a somewhat worried look at Ana, who was still angry, Mariana stepped forward calmly, wrapped in an aura of coldness.
-Miss Diana, what are you doing? If Anita has offended you, I apologize on her behalf.
With that, he bowed slightly and apologized in a whisper:
-I'm sorry.
Off to the side, Anne watched her bow to Diana because of her, the rage in her heart swelling even more, but her eyes filled with tears first.
-Mari...
Shaking her head at Ana, she spoke again with sincerity:
-Miss Diana.
A smirk shone in Diana's eyes and quickly disappeared. She looked at Mariana bowing to her and was overcome with pleasure.
But, feigning embarrassment, she said:
-Mariana, Leo thought that I had been wronged, that's why he ordered it that way.
Speaking, he raised his eyes to the man, with a kind expression and a melodious voice.
-Leo, why don't we leave it at that? I don't mind, after all, I'm used to being misunderstood like this over and over again.
Leopoldo looked down at the expressionless Mariana and said mercilessly:
-Diana, you don't have to be nice to everyone, some people don't deserve to be treated that way.
Diana could barely conceal the smile in her eyes, and her heart was full of satisfaction and rejoicing, but she did not show it on her face.
-Miss Diana, I apologize for what I did before, I'm sorry.
After a pause, Mariana felt as if something was blocking her throat, unable to go up or down, which made her more uncomfortable.
-It was Anita who misunderstood, Miss Diana, please don't blame her, it was all my fault.
With her eyes focused solely on Diana in front of her, Mariana did not look at the man who had been staring at her, as if she considered the fiery stare as nothing.
