Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231: A Well-matched Couple

Mariana Ortiz picked up her suit jacket and returned to the center of the party. The soft piano accompaniment rang in her ears, elegant and smooth.

However, when she looked up, she only saw that everyone was gathered in a circle and that in the center there was a large free field, which was the dance floor. Mariana vaguely remembered that before the group dance began, there would be a solo dance by two people.

This should be what was happening now.

However, something suddenly flashed through her mind, making her feel a little uneasy, but the thoughts were too fast for her to grasp, leaving some vague emotions affecting her.

Her feet moved forward unconsciously, and Mariana finally positioned herself outside the center, looking at the two people inside along with the crowd.

The man wore only a thin white shirt, but that failed to camouflage his nobility and arrogance. When his cold eyes looked at the woman in his arms, a slight softness emerged, and this contrast showed the intimacy between them.

And the woman dancing with him, held the man's large palm with her beautiful slender hands, and her exquisite body was most striking against the white dress.

The two gyrated and danced in the middle of the dance floor. A thin bright light was shining on them and the surroundings seemed a bit dim, as if they were the only ones on the dance floor. They were the protagonists of the scene, while the others were just small supporting characters.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, Mariana couldn't help but squeeze the hand holding the suit jacket and fiddle with both hands under the cover, wrinkling the clothes.

However, Mariana seemed oblivious to all this, and just stared directly at Leopoldo Durán and Diana Solís on the scene, unable to look away.

Finally, when the song ended, the two stopped and thanked the audience.

The woman looked at Leopoldo and smiled, full of dependence, while Leopoldo, naturally, also looked at Diana with a soft look.

What a perfect match.

Suddenly, a warm round of applause resounded throughout the place.

-Did you see the way Senor Duran looked at Diana just now? It's like looking at the woman you love! How sweet! If I could be seen like that, I'd like to swoon!

-I imagine the two of you are already together? Otherwise, how can it be so sweet and tacit? And they're dancing together as if no one is watching in a public place like this.

-Yes, Mr. Duran would never do something like this before, but once Diana returned to China, how many things did Mr. Duran do that he had not done before? This is love, isn't it?

***

Amidst the loud applause there was also constant chatter like this, Mariana was standing behind the crowd, hidden in the darkness, watching the two people smiling at each other in the arena. Her gaze was trembling and a cracking sound came from her heart. It was as if something had broken sadly among so much laughter, and the pieces were scattered on the ground, very desolate.

At that moment, Ana Lopez's surprised voice suddenly reached his ears,

-Mari, this dress you're wearing is so pretty! And it feels super right for you, like it was made to fit you!

The corners of her mouth barely curved into a smile as Mariana looked at Ana gathered around her in amazement and spoke bitterly.

-How can this be?
