Please behave My Lord

Chapter 50: Xavier

Looking at Mariana, Xavier smiled.

The smell of the breeze made Mariana take a deep breath and her mood suddenly improved. The stress of the past few days seemed to have suddenly dissipated, and even her heart no longer seemed to feel depressed.

The two walked freely down the street.

After a brief silence, it was Mariana who finally spoke, and with gratitude, she said seriously:

-Thank you, Mr. Bolaño.

"Thank you for withdrawing this hot pursuit. Whether you did it for the sake of the set or for me, I am equally grateful."

Mariana had already seen the Facebook, and sure enough, the hot search had disappeared, and no one mentioned it anymore, as if nothing had ever happened.

But Mariana knew that whatever had happened, at least Mariana's Diary still existed.

After hearing Mariana call him by his last name, Xavier smiled,

-Before this, I thought we were already friends.

In Mariana's eyes there was doubt and she looked at Xavier, who was also looking at her at this moment, as if he wanted to see what she wanted to say, but she could not feel the seriousness in this man's eyes.

-We are already friends," although she knew what he meant, Mariana answered frankly.

-Do friends still address each other as sir?

Mariana was surprised and could not help but laugh,

-You are right.

After a moment of silence, Mariana frowned, hesitating.

-Then, in that case, call me Xavier instead of Sir.

The man had already helped him find an answer.

Mariana answered him immediately:

-Xavier.

The soft word that came from the pink cherry lips of the woman in front of him fell lightly on Xavier's ears, and the next moment it reached his heart, making it tremble fiercely. "Xavier, Xavier."

Xavier looked at the woman in a sincere manner,

-Then I will call you Mariana from now on.

The four eyes met and they couldn't help but smile at each other.

A black Maybach was parked not far from the two of them at that moment, and it pulled up silently at the same time as the two of them stopped their footsteps.

The entire interaction between the two in front of them was watched by a pair of cold, stern and deep eyes, the already cold gaze was even colder, like a cold air from the depths of hell, making people feel intimidated.

The image of the two of them smiling at each other was like sharp needles stabbing into his heart, causing a slight pain that he found impossible to ignore. Leopold's face darkened and the atmosphere in the car became tense for a moment.

Lionel glanced calmly in the rearview mirror at the boss sitting in the back row, cross-legged, and then frowned at the man and woman walking side by side.

"What a coincidence!"

The chief made him stop suddenly and move forward at an extremely slow speed, and at that moment he felt very puzzled, but his bewilderment abruptly disappeared when he saw the young lady walking with

a man.

"If I'm not mistaken, the man who is well wrapped up with the glasses is Xavier Bolaño, the Best Actor."

The air conditioner inside the car was still blowing cold air, which had been a bit stifling earlier, but now Lionel couldn't help but crick his neck and felt a shiver run through his body. Ahead of them, the two came to a bus stop and stopped.

Soon after, amidst joking and laughter, a bus pulled up and the woman smiled and waved to the man, then turned around, got on the bus and drove off.

It was at that moment that Lionel breathed a sigh of relief,

-Mr. Durán, the next agenda is to go to the Stefford Hotel, where there is now an internal cocktail party, the top management of the company, and some politicians will all be there, now.... Before Lionel could finish his sentence, he was interrupted directly by Leopoldo.

The harsh words seemed to carry a touch of coldness, adding to the icy chill in the air. Lionel could not help a slight shiver in his body.

-Home.

-Yes," Lionel replied, started the car and drove off in the direction of the bus.

Leopold opened the door and looked around, there was only one floor lamp in the room, the light was dim, but it dispelled some of the coldness in his eyes.

This was the light she had left on for him.

Leopoldo looked up and saw the small studio on the second floor, which was illuminated.

Shoes scuffed the smooth floor, emitting a faint sound that appeared in the quiet darkness of the night, giving people an uneasy feeling.

His footsteps stopped and his eyes lowered to look at the dim light cascading through the door.

The next moment, the image of those two people laughing and joking, walking side by side, seemed to come back to his mind.

Frowning furiously, before Leopoldo regained consciousness, he had already turned the doorknob and opened the door.

When Mariana, who was working hard on her computer, heard the sound, she looked up and saw Leopoldo, who was standing in the doorway, with a sullen and slightly angry face. The mouse in her hand fell out of her hand and hit the desk, the sound of the impact shook Mariana's heart.

-What's wrong?

The words were guarded, as if he were talking to an important stranger.

That tone made Leopoldo even angrier, and he stepped forward to enter the room, then slammed the door shut.

Mariana stood up confused, looking at Leopoldo, who was extremely different from his usual manner, and a slight panic shone in her eyes.

-It seems that what I told you before, you didn't take it seriously.

The indifferent words struck hard at Mariana's heart, causing her to tremble.

Frowning doubtfully, Mariana approached him, who was standing by the door, raised her head and said:

-What did you say?

Their eyes met, but in the end it was Mariana who lost the battle.

-It's very late, if there's anything we'd better talk about tomorrow. You're tired from working all day, I'd better... get an early rest.

-What? Are you afraid of me?

The words were cold, with a strong sense of mockery.
