Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Out of your control

-Mr. Durán, if there is nothing else, I will leave first," the assistant looked carefully at the boss's expression and said respectfully.

-Good.

Hearing this, the assistant turned and left the office.

The man rose from his office chair and walked to the brightly lit windows, with the endless flow of traffic beneath the building.

Leopoldo looked at the crowded traffic below for a while, and calmed down a bit.

However, at this moment, it was as if something had spread from his heart and out of his control.

On set.

Ana held Mariana's hands with tearful eyes, which were full of compassion and sorrow. She bit her lower lip slightly, and wanted to say something to comfort her best friend, but in the end she could not utter a single word.

-Don't worry. That slap didn't hit me, and I'm just fine.

Mariana paused and said with some helplessness:

-But I am very sorry for having caused Mr. Bolaño any inconvenience.

He turned his head to look at Xavier, who was rehearsing a scene with Andrea, with gratitude and some concern on his face.

Because of him, maybe Andrea would get along badly with Xavier. Maybe on the surface she wouldn't dare to do anything to him, but according to her spoiled character, she surely wouldn't easily pass up any opportunity that could ridicule Xavier.

-Mari, don't worry. Xavier Bolaño is at least the best actor on this set, that Andrea wouldn't dare do anything to him! You'd better worry about yourself first, now you've had a fight with her, and she's the lead actress in this movie! Ouch!

At the mention of this, Ana furrowed her eyebrows a little, and sighed heavily, as if she had come across a big puzzle.

-Well, don't think about it so much, there will always be a solution," Mariana leaned forward and gently brushed the tip of Ana's nose, showing a slight smile.

Suddenly, there was a piercing sound of the fabric tearing, followed by an anxious scream:

-Mariana! Come here right now.

Raising her head, Mariana looked in the direction of the voice, but was met with a smug look.

At that moment, Andrea was looking at her with her arms closed over her chest, her eyes full of contempt and mockery.

Sighing quietly, Mariana stood up, patted Ana's shoulder, who was pulling her quietly, smiled and walked slowly towards Andrea.

-What's wrong?

But Andrea only gave a derisive snort, and with her slender hand Andrea pinched a corner of the hem of her own dress. Her movement was full of contempt.

-The dress looks good, but the quality is so bad! How come the dress split when I just took a big step?

Mariana frowned slightly and ignored Mariana's provocation, lifted a corner of the dress and checked it briefly before saying:

-Miss Solis, I don't think this fabric can be torn so easily, can it?

For the first time, Mariana's gaze towards Andrea carried some uncontrollable distaste, and Mariana stared directly at her without any intention of dodging.

Predictably, that look pierced Andrea's lofty self-esteem, and she narrowed her eyes slightly and clenched her hands to resist the fury.

-You mean I slandered you?! -Andrea asked angrily.

Hearing this, Mariana smiled slightly and did not argue with her, bending down slightly to pick up the piece of cloth that had been torn on the floor.

Mariana's calm posture made Andrea seem even more irrational and uneducated.

Xavier, who had said nothing, watched the discussion between the two women with interest, but his glance at Andrea contained some mockery.

-The cracks in this fabric are neat, not that it has cracked due to quality problems. It is more likely to have been cut with a knife.
