Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292: Scandal

The next day, five hours before the program was taped.

The director was so relieved that he stood up and thanked Leopoldo's assistant.

The assistant pursed his lips and continued to give instructions:

-There is one more thing... for the contest format, I suggest changing it to live to make it fairer and more open.

This decision caused the director to freeze and nod in response.

-Yes, yes, Mr. Castro, you can be sure that I will take care of this.

The change in the competition format will make the design competition more open and transparent.

Any script, any theatricality, will be broken.

But at the same time it makes it more difficult for all designers, because time is shorter and more urgent.

Such a proposal would do nothing but good for the contest, so the director had no reason to reject it and did not dare to say no.

-Besides, I don't want anyone else to know about today's events," the assistant continued in a low voice.

As this assistant had been with Leopold for a long time, he also carried a powerful aura, which pressured all present not to dare say anything, and only nod repeatedly, before watching the man in front of him leave.

Seeing his back disappear, the director finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Realizing that her back was already drenched in cold sweat, she no longer dared to underestimate Mariana and immediately changed her mind.

-What are you waiting for? Send the notices, do what you have to do! -the director said in an exasperated voice.

Some of those in the room were still unhappy and took the opportunity to express their displeasure with Mariana.

-But what about all the bad press?

-Yes. Besides, how can she stay after such a scandal? How are we going to explain this to the other contestants?

The director scratched his hair with some annoyance and gestured to his assistant to take care of all this.

He was too busy thinking about how he was going to fix the bad impression he had left on his superiors, so how was he going to worry about the grievances of these people?

The assistant sighed and had to deal with the mess in front of him.

-Do you know who that was a moment ago?

Seeing someone shaking his head, he had to explain first, and when there were no more objections, he argued for a long time before coming to a solution.

-Director, what do you think of this? That Mariana be downgraded, to maintain equity and also to comply with Mr. Durán's explanation.

After learning Leopoldo's identity, there were no more objections at the meeting. All fearful that if they offended those at the top, their lives would be ruined.

The director sat back in his chair, rubbed his temples with both hands and nodded with his eyes closed, not looking as energetic as he did at the beginning of the meeting.

-That's it, go report to her to continue the competition. Besides, this is the end of the matter and no one will be able to mention it anymore.

Mr. Castro didn't want anyone to know, and naturally, the director had to keep these men in line.

He gave his forehead another pinch before getting up to leave.

The assistant let out a long sigh and dialed Mariana's number while envying that she had someone to watch her back.

At that moment, Mariana, who was absent-mindedly eating breakfast, felt a little uneasy.

The online news was still fermenting and she had already begun to speculate that she would probably be eliminated from the program.

She recalled the various online messages asking the director to remove her from the program.
