Chapter 33: What Will You Think Of Me?

Chapter 33: What will you think of me?

Instantly, the man's gaze became serious, and was suffused with unfathomable anger.

"Did he cheat on me?"

Mariana felt very hot, as if she were in the extreme summer, but the next moment she seemed to be in

the coldest winter, vacillating between two seasons.

Maybe she noticed the man's indifferent gaze. Mariana searched for coolness and pressed her whole

body against Leopoldo's. A sensation of coolness invaded her and let her avoid a pleasant moan.

Leopoldo raised his eyebrows, not knowing if someone had given her the drug or if she had taken it on

her own.

The woman's soft, smooth hands kept sliding up and down his body, warm and urgent.

Finally, aroused by the woman's lust, Leopoldo roughly pushed Mariana onto the bed and pressed

himself against her.

Whoever did such a thing, she would still have nothing.

The moon was quietly hiding behind the clouds, as if it was so shy that it could not observe the excited

passion in bed, and so the night sky became darker.

The next day, streaks of sunlight secretly streamed in from the window and spread throughout the

room, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

On the bed lay Mariana, with the thin comforter loosely covering her body, revealing her slender arms

covered with red kiss marks, and her straight hair was spread across the clean white pillow.

After a good while, the woman groaned and woke up quietly, looking up at the ceiling in confusion, with

a slightly dazed expression.

The bent legs stretched unconsciously, and in an instant, a pain hit him, causing Mariana to frown

fiercely.

Such a familiar feeling...

She remembered again the day when Leopoldo was drunk and she woke up in her bed feeling the

same way.

"Last night..."

Mariana ignored the pain and sat up immediately, examining the purple spots that crisscrossed almost

her entire body. She was very clear about what this represented.

He looked down, and smiled a bitter, somewhat helpless smile.

Now that she thought about it, she supposed there must be something wrong with the cocktails at the

karaoke bar.

"But who did such a thing to me?" Of all those present, only Andrea held a grudge.

"Did you deliberately dredge me so that Leopoldo would see me making out with another man?"

Mariana lifted the corners of her mouth in a mocking smile, fearing that this result would disappoint her.

Although her consciousness was blurry at the end, Mariana knew exactly who the man she was with

last night was.

It was Leopoldo.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"But like this, what will you think of me?"

Mariana smiled bitterly and bowed her head, while burying her cheeks in her hands. She did not want

to face reality.

In the office of the president of Grupo Durán.

The assistant was diligently reporting on the boss's schedule for the day, but when he looked up, he

discovered that the boss was unconsciously fiddling with the delicate pen in his hand, and was looking

lazily toward the corner of the office, as if he hadn't heard what he had just said.

He hesitated a bit, not knowing whether to stop and remind the boss or keep reading.

"Since when did this workaholic like Mr. Durán have such an expression, not caring about his job?"

Such a discovery made the assistant a little surprised.

-Why don't you keep reading?

Leopoldo looked at the assistant with raised eyebrows, a bit impatient.

-I'm sorry," the assistant ducked his head respectfully and tried to soften his voice as he continued to

report on his work schedule.

The twist-action pen slipped from his slender fingers and fell to the desk. Leopoldo looked at his own

hand, as if he could still feel the soft touch of the woman from the night before. And he sharply

remembered the delicate appearance of Mariana lying on the soft white sheet, very different from the

innocent and quiet one she used to be.

Leopoldo reached up and rubbed his temples. His eyes became a little more serious.

"Why do I remember these things?"

-At three o'clock in the afternoon, the heads of all departments are called together for a meeting....

The assistant was still reporting on Leopoldo's tedious work, but was interrupted by his cold voice.

-Go and investigate if anything unusual, such as drugging, occurred at the dinner organized by the Holy

Empress set.

Hearing those words, the assistant's expression became serious and he hurried to respond:

-Yes, I understand.

The assistant then stepped forward, placed the folder in his hand on the table and turned around to go

do what his boss had assigned him to do.

Leopold's gaze rested on the expensive pen and the corners of his lips curved into a mysterious, sly

smile.

Some things he had to investigate deeply.

When Mariana arrived on set, other colleagues were already in place. Seeing her arrival, they all stood

still for a moment before continuing with their task.

The strange looks from the crowd made Mariana, who had never been overly flamboyant, a little

uncomfortable.

-He's so late today! This is not like your usual punctuality.

-Hey, you don't know this, do you? Yesterday, she went to the hotel with Xavier, that best movie actor!

She's dating Xavier, so of course she doesn't care about our humble crew.

-Yes, you're right! Well, with her relationship with Mr. Bolaño, she may even find someone else to help

her draw her own costume design!

-Hey, do you think she drew that draft herself or not?

-Who knows!

The chattering of others reached Mariana's ears unhindered, but apparently they didn't care if she

heard them.

At this point, she just felt a little funny.

"When you have a new identity, it's as if all the efforts you've made before are for nothing."

How ridiculous!

Mariana had a calm look on her face and did not pretend to pay attention to these discussions. As she

was about to turn around to look for Ana, someone called out to her the next second.

-Mariana!

The sweet voice had a slight charm and affection.

It was Andrea who called her.

-Miss Solis, hello," a slight and elegant smile appeared on Mariana's face as she looked at those

people who approached her. She smiled nodding her head, very demure and elegant, as if the

protagonist those people were talking about was not her.

However, hands that were invisible to onlookers were already tightly clasped by her.

-I don't know how I can help, Miss Solis? -Mariana asked kindly.

Andrea casually arranged her hair around her ears. Today she wore a wig, and her makeup was very

exquisite, like that of a fairy out of children's fairy tales.

-They say you left with Xavier last night, Mariana. Is this true? -Andrea asked with bad intentions.

The originally noisy environment suddenly quieted down, the crowd seemingly carrying on with what

they were doing, but in reality everyone was listening intently and secretly to what was going on.

Gossip always gets people excited.

-Yesterday I was drunk, and Mr. Bolaño only helped me out to get some fresh air and nothing else,"

Mariana pursed her lips slightly and explained in a soft voice.

-Is that so?

Showing a vicious smile, Andrea stared at Mariana and asked her, not intending to easily leave this

good occasion to humiliate her.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on Mariana's neck.

It was cooler today, but not cool enough to wear a dress with a high collar, so Andrea guessed that

Mariana seemed to be covering up something with this outfit.

After a moment of secret close observation, Andrea found red marks the size of fingernails on

Mariana's neck around her ears.
