Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71: I Will Die Young

Zoraida's illness improved day by day thanks to Mariana's care.

Only since that day, Leopoldo had not come again, but Lionel who always brought everything.

-Madam, these are the mattresses and quilts that Mr. Durán ordered me to buy for you.

During this period of time, Lionel came often, not only the air conditioner was installed in Zoraida's house, but also a TV, a refrigerator and all the other appliances were bought. Lionel would say every time that it was Mr. Duran's request, but Mr. Duran never showed up.

-Hey, Lionel, are you coming again?

A soft, slightly hoarse voice came from the room and out came an elderly grandmother on crutches who gave him a smile.

Lionel glanced at Mariana, did not proceed to hint at her further, and stepped forward eagerly to take Zoraida's hand.

-Yes, Mr. Durán asked me to bring him something.

-Leopoldo is really considerate.

Lionel nodded his head and said aloud:

-Yes, Mr. Durán has a lot of things to do and cannot come in person. I don't know what's going on, but there's a lot going on in the company lately.

With a slightly agitated heart, Mariana remained standing in the same place, she looked at the quilt on the floor.

-Maybe Mr. Durán is so busy at the company, he can't even eat properly. I always feel that he has lost weight during this period of time. It will be fine if someone prepares food for him.

When Zoraida heard his words, she couldn't help but look at Lionel.

Lionel could do nothing and continued to secretly watch Mariana's face.

During this period of time, the boss's bad mood was really increasing day by day, it was hard for him, the person who had to work by his side day by day.

In the end, Mariana's face remained expressionless and Lionel felt helpless,

-Well, since the things have been delivered, I'll go first. Madam, goodbye.

Lionel dismissed them and left.

Zoraida's kind voice sounded and Mariana looked at the old woman.

-Lionel is always here these days. The fridge is full to the brim, you should make some soup and take it to Leopoldo. It's not easy for Leopoldo, he's very busy with work and he keeps thinking about how you are around here," After a pause, Zoraida continued, "Do you think these things are really for me? It's because he's afraid you won't get used to living here! You've been taking care of me for many days, but I haven't seen you take the initiative to visit Leopoldo!

There was a certain anxiety in his tone.

Mariana turned her eyes and looked at what Lionel brought. "Is that so?"

In the end, under Zoraida's insistence, Mariana set out to personally prepare some dishes for Leopoldo. In any case, she should thank him in person for all the things he had bought for Zoraida's house.

In the afternoon, after carefully placing the food in the lunch box, Mariana was accompanied by Zoraida to the door with a face full of joy.

Then, Mariana stood bewildered under the Grupo Durán building, looking up, the sun no longer blinding and exerting its last glow.

We are just an arranged couple... Leopoldo's cold words of that day still echoed in her ears.

Finally, Mariana sighed lightly and pulled out her cell phone to dial a number.

Soon, Lionel appeared in front of her, with anxiety on his face,

-Ma'am, what is it?

Seeing the lunch box in Mariana's hand, her eyes lit up and she couldn't help but smile,

-Is it for... Mr. Durán?

Mariana finally tried to remain as calm as possible.
