Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73: Professional

-Leo, Mari!

The tone was active and cordial, which caused a hint of uneasiness in Mariana's heart.

-Good evening, Perla.

The four of them sat at the long table, which was filled with delicious dishes.

-Mari, you must be tired from working all this time, right? Look at you, you've lost weight, this dish is specially prepared for you.

Saying this, Perla put the plate in front of Mariana.

Leopoldo gave her a cold, stern look and then glanced at the plate placed in front of her before looking away.

Mariana had no interest in the food in front of her, but since Perla kept looking at her, she could only eat it.

-Very tasty.

Hearing this, Perla smiled feignedly and spoke to Juan:

-Juan, didn't you say you had something to say to Leo and Mari?

-Oh, yes! Thank you for reminding me.

Juan pulled a golden invitation from the side. It was exquisite and the flower patterns on it were vivid. Placing the invitation on the table, Juan pushed it over to Leopoldo:

-This is an invitation to the reception hosted by Mrs. Perez, the president of Good Luck Jewelry, so you guys are going to the cocktail party then.

Looking at Juan's actions, Perla couldn't help but smile. After turning the company over to Leopoldo, Juan lived a life of indifference to the world, managing only a charitable foundation, but under Perla's persuasion, he turned it over to her. Juan knew nothing of Leopoldo and Mariana's recent life, but Perla did.

As far as she knew, the two had recently had some conflicts and the marriage had not been announced to the outside world. It was a hidden marriage. So when Juan asked Leopoldo to take Mariana to Mrs. Perez's party, where all the high society celebrities were present, it would be tantamount to revealing the relationship between the two.

She had always been very upset about what happened last time, so if she could make Leopoldo and Mariana separate and upset Juan even more, Perla would be very happy.

-Impossible.

A loud voice was heard in the room, the sound of a fork hitting the floor.

Juan was furious as he looked at Leopoldo with a somber face.

-What do you mean by that? Would I do anything to hurt you? This party is a celebrity gathering, it's good to take Mari to meet celebrities.

Mariana looked at Leopoldo, whose face was still as cold as ever, and a slight worry passed through her heart.

-Don't even try to tell me what to do.

Hearing this, Juan was so angry that he could not say a word.

-Juan, why are you getting angry with your son? Don't worry, Leo will always understand you.
