Chapter 78: Are you trying to protect her?
Only this tenderness was not even perceived by herself.
-I always bother you. So, I'm leaving.
This time, however, Mariana did not thank Leopoldo.
-Good.
Turning around, Mariana was about to leave, but she didn't know what she was stepping on, suddenly
slipping, her body fell backwards uncontrollably, Mariana was shocked for a moment and couldn't help
but scream.
In the next instant, Mariana fell into Leopoldo's wide embrace. And the smell of tobacco made Mariana
feel a little shy.
The slender, soft body snuggled tightly into the man's embrace. The dazed, wide open eyes and red
lips were a beautiful sight in Leopold's eyes. He was fascinated by this woman and hugged her tighter.
Mariana's face got redder as she noticed the man's movement.
After two seconds of silence, an angry voice suddenly sounded not far away.
-What are you doing!
Mariana suddenly reacted and hurriedly got up from the embrace, tidying the hair around her ears to
cover her increasingly flushed cheeks.
Leopoldo looked at the angry woman in front of him, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, but said nothing.
Seeing the blush on Mariana's cheeks, Andrea couldn't help but reach out and raise her palm up to
slap her, but this didn't happen as she expected and she saw her wrist being grabbed by a strong
hand.
Chest heaving with anger, Andrea looked at the person next to her:
-Leo, what are you doing? Are you trying to protect her?
These words were really uncalled for. "Protect me? Have I made some kind of mistake? It doesn't
seem so."
Mariana laughed, but in Andrea's eyes, she was teasing.
-What are you laughing at?
Andrea stepped forward and stood in front of Mariana, speaking angrily.
-What are you doing? This is none of your business.
The cold, hard words came out of Leopoldo and landed in Andrea's ears, as if it were a bolt from the
blue, making her body tremble fiercely.
-Is it none of my business? Have you forgotten? Or have you already fallen in love with this woman?
Andrea spoke without scruple, stepping forward and blocking Mariana in front of her.
At this moment, Andrea had no trace of her previous charming and adorable intentions in front of
Leopoldo, her face was full of anger although she had done her best to hide it.
However, Leopoldo did not give her another chance to speak. He turned around and looked at Mariana:
-Since you have arrived, you may enter first.
Mariana knew that Leopoldo's act was to let her leave in a hurry. After looking at the furious Andrea,
Mariana nodded slightly and left with her suitcase without asking too many questions.
When she returned to the set, Mariana heard a lot of comments from people and, naturally, there was a
lot of talk about her.
-Look! This kind of person left the set without saying anything and didn't even tell the director, so he
just took sick leave to take care of his grandmother?
-If you also have a big boss as a sponsor, you can also leave and completely ignore the agreement
signed by the crew, and you won't have to pay compensation.
-Those who are beautiful and have a good figure can easily climb into the bed of the rich and have
more treatment and opportunities!
Mariana's slender fingers holding the luggage could not help but clench tightly, her fingertips were
slightly white from the force, and the veins on her back could not help but show. However, Mariana's
face remained calm, seemingly unconcerned by the comments.
When Mariana entered the office, someone gave her a tight hug. The familiar smell made Mariana give Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
her a smile.
-Mari, you're back at last, if you don't come back, I'll have to come and get you.
Mariana heard Ana's complaint, but only felt very affectionate at that moment.
-Well, I'm back, aren't I? It's been a difficult time for you. I always encounter difficulties and I always ask
you to help me....
Before Mariana could finish, Ana let go and spoke:
-Mari, don't say that, since we are good friends, of course we should help each other! Besides, if you
don't come back, this costume group won't know any leader named Mariana, it will be me, Ana Lopez,
who will be the team leader! You will be the one who loses out.
At these words, Mariana's smile was even brighter, and she reached out to gently pinch the tip of Ana's
nose.
-Then, when the time comes, I will give you this position, and I will be a little employee for you.
Hearing these words, Ana waved her hand repeatedly with a regretful expression:
-It is not possible, no.
The daily work was so complicated and trivial for Ana. If it went on like this, she felt her hair would fall
out.
At these words, the two could not help but look at each other and laugh.
-You're back, have you gone to greet the director and the producer?
Gently shaking his head, Mariana's eyes glinted with a hint of concern, looking a little uneasy. Although
Leopoldo said he had already said so with the director, the truth was that she had violated the treaty by
leaving the set without saying anything.
-I'll leave my things here and go look for the director.
-I'll keep it for you, you go and come back quickly.
Ana took the suitcase from Mariana's hand, she knew that this was an important matter and she could
not delay.
Standing in front of the director's room, Mariana hesitated for a long time, still not entering.
Several times he reached out his hand to knock on the door, but did not do so.
Suddenly, a familiar dark male voice sounded behind her.
