Chapter 386: Small Moves
-I have finished eating -Mariana looked at Leopoldo in front of her and said kindly. It was no longer
easy for Leopoldo to promise her, to take back what he had just said and not to make things difficult for
the people in this restaurant.
And, as Leopoldo had just said, it was Mrs. Durán.
From Mariana's point of view, she was really moved. At least this man recognized her. This was more
important than anything else.
-Very well then, let's go," Leopoldo spoke and prepared to leave.
Mariana quickened her pace and followed the man closely. She looked serious and was still
remembering what he had just said. So Leopoldo's meaning was quite clear.
When they got off, Leopoldo's driver was already driving and waiting.
-Mr. Durán, please get in," the driver got out of the car and personally opened the door for Leopoldo.
Leopoldo stopped and said softly to the woman behind him:
-You go in first.
Mariana felt an unprecedented warmth and looked at the other party with surprise.
Leopoldo, really, was completely different.
Among those present, there were Mariana's admirers who recognized each other at a glance and they
all took out their cell phones to take note of the scene the man had seen. It was really going to be lucky
to see the duo in a place like this.
With everyone assembled, Leopoldo climbed into the car as well.
Mariana's eyes rested on Leopoldo's body, pondering. She hesitated for a moment, wanting to speak,
but not knowing how she should ask.
Just now, Leopoldo's words made Mariana's heart feel very solid.
-I'm going straight to the office, I have a little business to take care of, can you go home first? -
Leopoldo looked at his phone and spoke to the woman next to him. He was asking her opinion on
whether she wanted to go to the office with him.
Mariana thought for a moment and opened her mouth to answer:
-Well.
Anyway, I had nothing to do if I went to the office. It was hard to finish the shooting with Noe, and she
took the opportunity to wish him a good rest.
-Go home first," Leopoldo spoke and barked a warning.
The driver changed direction and drove in the direction of home. Leopoldo was the boss, so naturally
the driver took the car wherever the boss went.
Mariana's heart was pounding, her current location was obviously closer to Leopoldo's company. If
Leopoldo was busy, there was no need for him to take her home first.
-It's okay to send you to the company first, you don't need to think about me -Mariana looked at NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Leopoldo and said seriously.
Anyway, her house was not far away and she could take a cab back alone. If Leopoldo had to do
something in the company, then naturally he could not be delayed. Mariana thought about it for a while,
and in her heart there were some doubts.
-Let's take you home first," Leopoldo turned off his phone and looked at the woman next to him.
He said he would take her home first, but only so he could treat her for a while. There was a temporary
situation at the company and he couldn't do that if he didn't hurry to fix it.
Mariana gaped and stopped talking.
There was nothing wrong with listening to Leopoldo, so it was better to go home first. Mariana sat
obediently next to Leopoldo and said nothing more. She didn't mention a word about Leopoldo's
company.
She couldn't help, so she wouldn't ask.
-If you are still hungry, go back and ask the kitchen to prepare something to eat," Leopoldo
remembered that he had not eaten much in the restaurant before and admonished the other woman
with concern.
Mariana nodded and smiled.
-Señor Durán, Rafael has already sent someone to look at the land.
In Leopoldo's chat dialog box, there was a text message sent to himself by his eyes. This Rafael's
action was really fast.
Yesterday there was talk about the contract and today he already took people to see it.
-Continue watching, and report whenever there is something -Leopoldo typed a few words and gave
instructions to his subordinates. Whatever happened, he must not let this Rafael get away with it.
The driver drove the car up to the front door and then listened to the door firmly.
-I have instructed the kitchen to prepare you something to eat, so go back and eat a little before resting
-Leopoldo looked at Mariana and said with concern.
Mariana was surprised, curious to know when Leopoldo had ordered that.
The two of them were in the same car and she didn't see Leopoldo calling home. How come he had
moved so fast and had someone make the food?
-It's okay," Mariana nodded and got ready to get out of the car.
After opening the car door, the housekeeper came out to meet her. Mariana looked at the housekeeper
and smiled softly:
-Thank you.
Leopoldo watched the woman walk through the door before waving to the driver and driving away.
He frowned a little, a little displeased....
-The food is ready, and Mr. Durán has indicated that he has not yet eaten," the butler followed Mariana.
Curious, Mariana looked at the butler next to her.
-When did he tell you that?
-The message was sent to me half an hour ago," the housekeeper looked at Mariana and answered all
the questions. President Durán could not be more attentive to this lady.
Mariana looked at the time, half an hour ago she should still be eating steak.
Counting the time, it was just the right moment for Leopoldo to embarrass the director. No, it wasn't
embarrassment, it was management.
-Madam, the dishes are all done to your liking. If something is missing, tell me and we will fix it in time -
the housekeeper took Mariana to the dining room and told her cautiously.
After Mariana looked at the table full of dishes, her whole body became dizzy.
How can she eat all these dishes?
-Mistress of the house, have you already eaten? -Mariana looked at the table full of dishes and touched
her stomach, how come she felt full even before eating?
How much meat would she gain if she ate all that?
-Ah? -The housekeeper looked at Mariana with a puzzled expression.
Mariana approached the table and motioned to the table to explain:
-You've cooked so many dishes that I can't finish them. Then, I'll just take this dish.
He took a bowl of sautéed seasonal vegetables and prepared to leave.
Mariana had not forgotten her identity, and her professional qualities required her not to indulge in
overeating. By treating herself this way, Leopoldo was trying to ruin her.
-But there are so many dishes," the housekeeper saw that Mariana had just taken a plate of
vegetables, and felt a little uncomfortable. These were all expensive ingredients, and it was really a
shame to throw them away if Mariana didn't eat them.
Taking the food to the living room, he looked at the housekeeper and said without forgetting:
-You haven't eaten anyway, and I'm sure the others haven't either, so you can eat it yourselves.
-No, that's not right," the housekeeper was a very principled person, and went about denying Mariana's
proposal.
How could they eat a meal that the master had not even touched?
-It's a waste and it looks like Mr. Durán won't be back until very late today -Mariana sat down on the
sofa, deliberately prompting the butler to stop being so insistent.
The housekeeper hesitated a bit, watching Mariana eat the seasonal vegetables with satisfaction.
