Chapter 235: It's on fire

Leopoldo had an expressionless face and nodded bluntly.

In an instant, Mariana felt her feelings begin to have a source. Euphoria filled her heart and was about to overflow.

-Thank you.

He only said this one word, but it implied many things.

Leopoldo kept silent and after a moment, he said: "You are welcome.

His voice was low and a little hoarse.

Inexplicably, it made his heart flutter, and it was hard to calm down for a long time.

-It's very late, go to sleep, goodbye.

Mariana was a little dazed

-Goodbye...

He went back to his room and sat on his bed, his thoughts still stuck from half a minute ago.

She put on her pajamas, intending to fold the dress and drop it off at the dry cleaners tomorrow. As she was finishing up, she glanced at a familiar logo and couldn't help but spread the piece out and scrutinize it for a moment.

When she opened her computer, Mariana started to look up Yerma Serrano's designs and discovered that some of them were indeed similar to the one she was wearing, so it was easy to see that they were from the same person.

Yerma was a reputed fashion designer, a three-time Golden Top Award winner, a genius in the world of design. The world called her the "Queen of Art," but in recent years there has been talk of her disappearance from the design scene. Seeing the woman's face in the photo, Mariana felt a little familiar. It looked like she had seen her before.

But in the end, he couldn't remember.

She collapsed on the soft bed, allowing herself to be overwhelmed by tormenting emotions.

Mariana slept late, and the next day she woke up alone in the villa, without the figure of Leopoldo, so she had breakfast in a hurry and went out.

The director of an agency had called her to tell her that there was a trend in underperformance over the last half month. As a designer, it was necessary for her to go there in person to understand the reasons for the decline and the overall sales intentions for the next quarter.

On the way, he spoke to the store manager.

-Okay, I'm getting off. I'll be there soon.

After greeting the driver, Mariana hurried to the store, where the manager was already waiting at the door, looking anxious.

She put her purse on the counter, opened the ledger on the table, took out a pen and signed her name on the last page, not realizing that there were no clerks on duty.

As she leafed through the manual, Mariana turned her head to ask the store manager.

-Yesterday's sales volume was 0. 7% lower than the previous day?

A trace of unnaturalness appeared on the merchant's face.

-I'm not sure, I didn't ask in that much detail ...

Mariana helplessly picked up her account book, turned back to the previous page and pointed to a spot with a pen for me to see,

-Yesterday there was a gain of 2, 8%, but yesterday it was only 2, 1%. Those of the previous days are also trending down, but at a slow pace.

-Yes, yes, yes, yes.... -The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, not sure if he was listening or not.

At that moment, the shopkeeper suddenly turned away from her and a magnificently dressed woman entered, Mariana also only gave a slight sidelong glance before averting her eyes.

The store manager followed the woman and introduced her to the current seasonal styles, and the woman responded occasionally, as if there was nothing wrong with them.

Suddenly, the woman pointed to a dress hanging high up and said: "That one, can you show me that garment?

The store manager looked toward the designated spot, with an embarrassed look on his face.

-Madam, that piece... it seems that we don't have the rest of the sizes in the store....

That is, this was the only one left in the store.

The woman did not seem to understand what he meant, insisting on seeing the one she had chosen. The manager was at her side and kept persuading, but the woman couldn't hear him, and the discussion got louder and louder.

Mariana closed her book and approached.

-Hello ma'am, what can I do for you?

The woman saw her and lowered her voice.

-I want that piece, but your clerk said there are no more sizes.
