Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24: She Must Be Crazy

Mariana was small and looked very thin in the cool night. Looking at her back the man felt a little sorry for her for once.

He unconsciously clenched his hands, remembering the scene at dinner when the woman gently held his hand.

At that moment, without knowing why, he was already irritated, but when he touched Mariana's soft palm, he calmed down instantly.

Leopoldo shook his head, thinking that he must be too tired and needed to rest some more.

When she got home, Mariana buried herself under the blanket. Her mind was filled with Leopoldo's determined and cold eyes, and the words "remember your identity" echoed in her ears.

"Mariana, what's wrong with you?"

"Yes, I'm just Leopoldo's fiancée wife, how can I be in a position to discuss his family matters at the family dinner today? Crazy, I must be crazy..."

But Mariana still felt aggrieved. A tear fell without warning and landed in the palm of her hand. She stared at the crystal tears.

None of this was what she wanted: the marriage contract, the husband, the Durán family.... They were not what she wanted.

She had had illusions about this man, but she was doing her best to restrain herself. How could Leopoldo misunderstand her?

The intermittent sobs of the woman sounded in the room, and gradually silence returned.

The next morning, Mariana still showed up at the company as if nothing had happened, her face energetic.

-My God, Mariana, you were really beautiful that day! -a colleague from the company approached her and said with a smile.

-What? -Mariana was puzzled and did not understand what her colleague said.

-On the catwalk that day, you were super beautiful!

Only then did he react and waved his hands in denial:

-It's just that there was an emergency that day, I just did what I could do.

Mariana wondered how they knew.

"Didn't they put a mosaic on my face?"

After casually chatting with her colleague, Mariana headed for the design department with a brisk, brisk pace.

Just as he pushed open the glass door, he heard Ana's voice echoing in the design department office.

-You didn't see it, that day, Mari just stood on the catwalk! The whole audience was applauding her - that warm applause was really very thunderous!

-The dress that day also fit Mari very well, I think that dress was custom made just for her.

-Mari has never worked as a model, but when she walked the runway she didn't have the slightest stage fright. Her performance in the passageway was better than that Andrea's!

Ana went around the office with enthusiasm and talked incessantly with other colleagues in the office.

-And then...

-Mari, when did you come?

Ana had just turned around when she saw Mariana, who was leaning against the glass door, and Mariana was also looking at her with interest.

-What are you doing? -Mariana stepped forward, lightly squeezed her friend's hand and asked with a smile.

Ana scratched her head and gave Mariana a cheeky smile:

-Oops, I'll share with you all the facts of that night!

-All right, but that's enough, hurry up and get to work.
