Please behave My Lord

Chapter 86: And only me

-You should know exactly what you have done. These things are not your usual amusements, but crimes!

The cold words let loose with a slight threat from her mouth. As soon as she heard them, Mariana couldn't help but clutch the phone in her hand tighter, as if it were her support.

-Leo, I explained to you what happened last night. I didn't organize it and I didn't know it, you can't replace my protagonist just because you suspect me. Besides, how could you treat me like that? With a tinge of anger and sadness in her tone, Andrea looked at the icy man in front of her.

At this moment, a long figure was standing in front of the window. Leopoldo put his hands in his pockets and gazed at the large tree outside. He gave off a stern, icy aura and did not look at Andrea behind him. Andrea felt very aggrieved and was about to cry.

-Leo, I'll explain it to you again. Last night I called Mariana to my room because I wanted to be her friend for your sake. But I didn't expect something like this to happen, and the others... I don't even know why they came...

Before she could finish, the man in front with his back to her had coldly interrupted her. His icy words made Andrea's heart flutter slightly:

-Just this once?

In an instant, he could not help but open his eyes wide and clenched his hands tightly together.

-The last time Mariana's father left the set, I had told my assistant to put a felony on him beforehand; he should have dutifully stayed in jail, but instead he returned to the set to cause trouble. The deep voice turned cold, as if it came from hell and carried a monstrous rage.

-You released him on bail, didn't you?

Andrea couldn't help but take a few steps back as she unconsciously shook her head in impotent denial.

-And the last time Mariana got the job at the bar, you asked someone to leak it to her on purpose.

The man's words were as impassive and emotionless, as if the calm before the storm was approaching.

Andrea took a few deep breaths and tried her best to calm down. She hadn't imagined that Leopoldo already knew everything. He wouldn't believe her no matter how hard she tried to explain it.

She narrowed her eyes. A way out had already occurred to her. She looked very aggrieved and kept tears in her eyes, with a look that inspired a desire to protect her.

-So, because I've hurt her, you're going to take the paper away from me?

The voice was bitter and revealing of despair.

However, Leopoldo did not turn around.

For a moment, a smile appeared on Andrea's face. Her eyes filled with cruelty and swelled with hatred for Mariana inside her.

He had not thought that one day his career would be ruined in Mariana's hands!

"That woman?"

"That woman who must always be at my feet like an ant?"

This was unacceptable to her, a proud woman. How could she be willing?

-I will explain this matter to the director, you will leave the set today.

Andrea's fate was sealed with these insensitive words.

He didn't even want to wait a moment.

Something reluctant appeared in her eyes. Andrea stepped forward and said word for word:

-What you're doing won't disappoint... my cousin? She asked you to take care of me before she left, and this is how you take care of me? Hurt her sister for someone else's woman?

The figure that had been standing erect could not help but shudder at what the muer said and stiffened slightly. Leopold suddenly turned and turned directly to Andrea his somber gaze, which contained several emotions like churning currents.

A smile of satisfaction came over her face, but it was short-lived. By now, the anger and sadness in Andrea's heart had quietly disappeared. Her eyes were clear and filled with firm impetus.

But, even so, a gloomy feeling was brewing deep inside him. There had never been anyone but that woman in Leopold's heart.

Neither her nor Mariana!

-Leo, don't you want her back? You should know that she is always in contact with me.

With somber eyes, Leopold looked cruel to the core. After a long silence, he finally blurted out cold words from his mouth:

-What are you trying to say?

For the moment, Andrea had lost the panicked look she had just had. She slowly approached him, stood slightly on her tiptoes and looked up. The two of them were so close that even their breaths were intertwined.

Flirtatiously, she lifted her slender fingers and circled them gently over Leopoldo's chest, with a slight hint of temptation. Andrea raised her lips like a seductress:

-Do you think he'll still want to come back if he finds out everything you've been doing with Mariana? Tomorrow will be the day my cousin and I make our routine phone calls, if....

At this point, she deliberately prolonged her voice and did not speak for a long time.

Leopoldo stared at the woman in front of him. Her deep eyes looked like a huge container where a variety of emotions were hidden, either bright or dark, which finally returned to a darkness with a desolate silence.

-What do you want?

Hearing this, Andrea lowered her eyes and blinked, slyly hiding smugness under them.

-Nothing special, except that the protagonist of this Holy Empress has to be me, and only me!

The quiet words fell on the man's ears and, at the same time, bombarded Mariana's mind, making her heart pound.

-Okay.

-Thank you Leo. Tomorrow when my cousin asks me how you've been, I'll be sure to say you've been good and stayed by my side without other women by your side.

A sly laugh shone in her charming eyes. Andrea smiled indulgently, as bright and dazzling as the spring sun.

-Boom!

The door behind them was suddenly pushed open.

The two men standing together looked back and saw Mariana whose face was full of fury.

-Why are you here?

The high-pitched voice emitted from Andrea and reached Mariana's ear.

But she ignored her directly and instead looked at the cold man. Step by step, slowly but surely, she approached him. Mariana gazed at him with her head raised. -What are you doing here?

The man blurted out the almost identical words, causing Mariana to snag a smirk.

-Why am I here? What am I doing here?

With a soft laugh, she continued:

-Am I not allowed to be here? Or are you talking about something that I can't be allowed to know? But everything I just heard is about me!

Words with a hint of desolation floated softly around the ears of the three.

-This is my classroom, please leave, Miss Ortiz.

Andrea took a step forward and stepped forcefully between Mariana and Leopoldo looking provocatively at the woman in front of her. A mischievous smile appeared on her mouth and her eyes abounded with sarcasm and contempt.

-Miss Solis' salon? Last night's salon is yours, isn't it?

This comment made Andrea turn around in fright. Her face, with her back to Leopoldo, was slightly twisted with anger and hatred that looked quite horrible.

She and Leopoldo had just argued endlessly about this very thing, and now Mariana had deliberately brought it up again.
