Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29: It must be him!

-Why did you come back all of a sudden?

She stood up, and the book on the table unexpectedly fell to the floor. Instantly her heartbeat accelerated greatly.

-Drink the soup.

Leopoldo put the bowl in his hand on the table, bent down and picked up the book that had fallen on the floor and flipped through it nonchalantly, then put it back on the table.

Mariana still did not recover from this shock and remained stunned in her seat.

-You can finish your soup before you read your book. No need to be in such a hurry," the man's voice sounded from beside her.

Mariana sat obediently and took the spoon to drink the soup in a mute manner.

The aroma of the chicken soup, and the man's unique fragrance, wafted through the modest studio, and Mariana suddenly felt the exhaustion that was almost crushing her disappear, and felt some excitement inside.

-Where are you going?

Seeing the man heading for the door, Mariana unconsciously stood up and asked. The man turned around with a complicated look on his face.

-Well... I'm so sorry. I shouldn't be...

Mariana then realized she shouldn't ask and hurriedly covered her mouth.

It was enough that he came to bring her soup, how could she still want to interfere in his private life?

-I'm going to sleep.

To her surprise, the man did not get angry, but merely responded indifferently, and then left; soon after, the sound of the door closing came from the next bedroom.

Mariana let out a deep sigh and slowly sat up. Looking at the chicken soup that was still steaming in front of her, instantly the urge to sleep went away.

The racing heartbeat was a constant reminder that what had just happened was real.

Leopoldo had arrived, had brought him this chicken soup, and the book had also picked up for him.

"Why are you doing all this?"

Mariana was becoming more and more confused with this man, but, naturally, she would not be so naive as to think that this was because he liked her.

In the next bedroom.

Leopoldo was lying on the bed, and Mariana's pale face came to his mind from time to time.

Indeed, she was very tired and looked like she had been working a lot lately.

He picked up the cell phone at his side and dialed his assistant's number. It was already very late and the assistant had long since gone to bed, but seeing that it was his boss who called him, he jumped out of bed to answer:

-Mr. Durán, how can I help you?

-Send me the script of Holy Empress as well as the original novel for the film and put them in the studio downstairs.

It was rare for Leopoldo to say so much, and the assistant listened with extraordinary attention as he hurried to respond:

-Yes, I'm going to do it right now.

Naturally, he was able to guess the boss's intention.

-Besides," Leopoldo's voice rang again over the phone, "send the disc of Rafael Sanchez's film.

Upon hearing this, the assistant on the other end of the phone was a bit surprised, because the disc of Rafael Sánchez's film was out of print and the only one available was in Mr. Durán's possession.

"Mr. Durán is truly generous for the sake of his wife."

"Truly this gentleman has a very strange character, either he doesn't help, or when he does, he sure is very generous!"

-Understood, I'll do it right away!

The assistant hung up the phone and immediately got up and went to do his job.

The morning of the next day.

Mariana woke up very hungry. Last night's chicken soup had given her an appetite.

As she passed Leopold's bedroom, she looked toward the closed door, it seemed that he had not yet woken up.

Mariana went downstairs, went to the kitchen and prepared breakfast.

Soon after, she emerged from the kitchen with a sandwich in her mouth. As she passed through the living room, she remembered that her purse still seemed to be on the couch.

Mariana walked over to the couch and was about to grab her purse when she saw a bunch of things wrapped in kraft paper lying next to her bag.

"What is this?" she was a little puzzled, and picked up that package.
