Chapter 360: Airborne Soldiers
The domineering president, who had always been a one-string man, had actually accepted her
modeling and taking on this kind of publicity. Leopoldo had changed a lot, and Mariana was very
pleased.
President Durán is really spoiling her.
-Thank you," Mariana looked at the man, her heart full of gratitude.
She was really grateful to Leopoldo.
-Why are you thanking me?
Leopoldo thought the woman was nice and couldn't help but ask. How else could he say he was really
pampering her? Sometimes Mariana was just cute for no reason at all.
Mariana smiled, secretly happy in her heart.
-Señor Durán, dinner is served.
Just in time for dinner, the butler came upstairs to ask if the two wanted to come down for dinner.
Whether Leopoldo and Mariana were at home or not, the kitchen would prepare delicious meals for
them to choose from each day. If they wanted to stay home to eat, they could eat there, if they didn't
like it, they could go to a restaurant.
When the housekeeper came to hurry the food, Mariana was happy.
-I waited a long time for this meal, the housekeeper must be tired.
Her stomach was empty, so she wanted to eat something to fill it.
Seeing Mariana so aggrieved, Leopoldo's heart squeezed.
-Do you think the food at home is not to your liking? Do you want me to take you outside?
Leopoldo put down his wine glass, and for the first time was able to put himself in Mariana's place and
consider something to eat.
Mariana smiled.
-Food at home is the best.
-Good," Leopoldo agreed, unable to say no to the woman.
After eating her fill, Mariana went to the bedroom to talk to Noe about the shooting. Grupo Durán had
unilaterally terminated her contract and, to a certain extent, it was really for her own good.
First, Leopoldo mentioned the termination of his contract with her, but in reality, he set up a studio for
Mariana.
-This is how tomorrow's shooting will go, I'll be at the studio at eight in the morning, do you have any
questions?
Noe wore his glasses and held a normal but regular video conference with Mariana.
Mariana nodded her head, indicating that there was no problem.
-Wouldn't eight o'clock be too early? She usually gets up at seven fifty.
Suddenly, the door to the room opened and Leopoldo approached with fruit in his hand in Mariana's
direction.
He scoffed grimly, thinking that he could not demean Noe.
Giving such a popular Mariana to the other party as a model, no matter what level she was said to be,
was a great bargain for Noe. Therefore, it would not be easy to accede to the other party's request.
Noe pushed the frame of her glasses and looked at Mariana. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
-At nine o'clock then?
-No," Mariana was ready to reply. Since when did she get up at seven fifty? -Good. Then get some
more rest, we'll shoot after makeup in the studio.
Noe was very receptive to Mariana's conditions. Even if Mariana didn't mention it, he would take note of
it.
One reason was because the project was not easy, and the other was because it was a favor.
-Well," Mariana answered quietly and wrote down the eight in her book.
Is Leopoldo here to help her, or to destroy her?
-Fruta.
Leopoldo reminded Mariana to eat the fruit, but in reality, Mariana was already disgusted by his series
of actions. Leopoldo was a person who was best if he stayed true to his original nature.
She was not used to such a Leopoldo.
-Sal, I have twenty minutes left here before it's over.
In order for the videoconference to go smoothly, Mariana had no choice but to make this request to
Leopoldo.
Leopoldo took a seat on the couch behind him, his eyes darkening slightly.
His kitten was very brave.
-I'll be here, I won't bother you.
Leopoldo just picked up a book, trying to reassure Mariana. He would definitely keep quiet and not
disturb the meeting.
Mariana could do nothing but smile awkwardly.
-Mr. Cantero, let's continue," she looked at Noe and continued taking notes.
It was fortunate that Leopoldo did not interrupt during the brief meeting that followed. Otherwise,
Mariana really didn't know how it would have ended. The two were deadly rivals and they were talking
with fireworks.
The best way to keep the smell of gunpowder from spreading is to make it non-existent.
-Okay, see you tomorrow," Mariana hung up the phone and stretched with a sigh of relief.
Only then Leopoldo stepped forward, squinting his eyes.
-The meeting is over, you can rest now.
As she said this, Leopoldo was already getting up and preparing to walk towards the bedroom.
But Mariana looked raw.
-You go first, I'll go back to resolve the content of the meeting now," Mariana took out her notes in style
and looked up and down, but she didn't see Leopoldo leave.
The man stood on his heels and looked at Mariana flatly.
-Why haven't you left yet? -Mariana slowly raised her head to meet Leopoldo's gaze.
Leopoldo's gaze was frankly unfriendly.
-Look at the time, are you sure you don't want to go to bed?
Leopoldo pointed to the time on the wall, it was almost 12:30 pm. As a star, the most important thing is
to focus on your biological clock.
Otherwise, what you lose is not something money can buy back.
-All right -Mariana closed the book and engaged with the man.
It was late and she had to get some sleep.
Leopoldo followed Mariana, turning off the lights, and the two of them followed the night lights of the
hallway upstairs. In the time it took to go upstairs, Mariana scratched her nightgown until it was
wrinkled.
Noticing this detail, Leopoldo felt amused.
-Why are you so nervous? It's bedtime, it's not like they're going to cook you.
Leopoldo went upstairs and closed the curtains, making preparations before going to bed. Mariana, for
her part, sat on the bed, not daring to move a muscle.
She didn't know if she had cooked or not, but the truth was that she was nervous.
When Leopoldo got into bed, Mariana's back was still to the man. Before she could hesitate, Leopoldo
pulled her into his arms and a scent reached her nose.
Needless to say, that smell reassured him.
-I'm not going to do anything, be a good girl and go to sleep," Leopoldo said lovingly as he embraced
the woman in his arms.
He was willing to take care of her as much as he could, so he would not do anything against her
wishes. Besides, it was not the first time they slept in the same bed, they had experienced everything.
Only now did he think of the shyness that only Mariana could have done.
Mariana's heart suddenly calmed down as she lay in Leopoldo's arms, not daring to move a muscle.
-Mr. Cantero, they brought Miss Ortiz's suit.
Noe's studio began to fill with work first thing in the morning due to Mariana's arrival by parachute.
Everyone was excited, just to get this commercial shot.
The termination of the contract with Grupo Durán did not seem so easy for everyone.
Whoever could have Mariana's trump card could be considered the ultimate winner. The whole studio
did not expect that their own boss could agree to sign with Mariana.
Sometimes, the unexpected comes out of nowhere.
