Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41：Unexpected Arrival

-What do you mean?

Mariana's voice was a little hoarse and when Leopoldo heard her words he frowned slightly and the next moment his face darkened.

-You don't want it? -The man's eyes were cold, like infinite darkness, and they conveyed no emotion.

Hearing this, Mariana was a little stunned, but in an instant she let out a laugh, with a hint of sarcasm,

-What if I say yes?

Such a direct and forceful attitude was something Leopoldo had never encountered before, very different from the Mariana before, who used to be gentle to the point of being even a little shy in front of him.

-Why should I be willing to leave the set? The company has given me this job, so I will be responsible for it until the end.

Apparently feeling that there was no point in saying anything more, she did not speak again, with a helpless smile, turned the doorknob and entered the room.

When the figure of the woman disappeared in front of him, Leopold was still standing in the light, his thin lips slightly pursed. The black shadow grew long, stretching on and on. The man's mind was repressed in his heart, difficult to decipher.

"What if I say yes? "

The next day, Mariana arrived early on set, prepared the dress and sat behind the director with Ana, watching Andrea and Xavier pair up for the scene.

Today was the climactic scene of Emperatriz Santa, and since the director and scriptwriter had not yet worked out how they wanted to present the performance, they did not ask Mariana to prepare a series of elements such as costumes and props beforehand.

And the director simply let the two main characters act according to the form they had already discussed, leaving Mariana and the others to design the appropriate costumes according to the actors' performance.

Also, this part was not described much in the original Empress Santa novel, so it was not promoted much in the initial stage, and was arguably one of the most appealing segments to audiences after the premiere.

Andrea and Xavier, still in their white suits and hoods on, were absorbed in the stage and performed without physical objects in front of the green cloth.

Once he had watched the performance in its entirety, the director stood up and approached Mariana's side, gently tapping her shoulder, his gaze full of appreciation,

-Design with courage. I believe in you.

Xavier, who had finished his scene, took the glass of water handed to him by his assistant and took a sip, walked over to Mariana's side and sat down, looking at the director's back, his pretty eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a hint of curiosity.

-Is the director praising you?

Mariana, who had just immersed herself in the drama, looked directly at him lightly after hearing this. However, her mood had relaxed a lot. Compared to this, she was more inclined to work on costume design backstage, but now, no one seemed to care how she thought.

-What are you going to design?

As she spoke, Xavier saw two people walking in front of her, talking and laughing, looking very close, they were Leopoldo and Andrea.

-If there is anything you need help with, just come to me, after all no one can refuse the help of his beloved beauty, right?

Hearing Xavier's flirtatious words, Mariana stopped looking at him, but did not reply.

Leopoldo's cold eyes swept over Xavier and Mariana, his face darkened, there was anger in his eyes.

Andrea, who had been looking intently at the man next to her, naturally sensed this and gritted her teeth hard, glaring hatefully at Mariana with resentment.

"What's so good about that bitch? Why is it that when I'm standing next to Leo, his gaze always falls on that woman?"

-Leo, last time my cousin told me something that I don't understand a little, can you help me?

Andrea looked at Leopoldo with a delicate smile, a smugness shone in her eyes extremely fast.

"See if you still look at that woman this time?"
