Chapter 198: Confrontation

Seeing Mariana's action, Xavier raised his head to look provocatively at Leopoldo, and there seemed to

be flames of triumph in his eyes.

Their gazes intertwined and collided in the air, even verging on sparks.

One was cold, the other uninhibited, and the two began to confront each other.

Suddenly, Xavier stood up and raised the glass of wine in front of him.

-Mr. Durán, I haven't thanked you yet, I heard that Mari is now working for your company, so I will

bother Mr. Durán to take more care of her.

He said, raising the tall glass in front of him.

Leopoldo's eyes were dark, with a cold look inside, as if it were a deep bottomless abyss.

-Care? Indeed.

Leopoldo paused and smiled coldly:

-In fact, Mariana has been cared for by me a lot, both in the company and at home.

The words were full of meaning.

Hearing these words, the three present changed their faces dramatically. Diana looked incredulously at

the man next to her, her hands clenched, and the pain of the nails digging into her palms did not ease

the bitterness in her heart.

Diana bit her lips hard, showing how hard she was trying to hold back at this moment.

After a long while, Diana's emotions gradually returned to normal and she raised the cup in her hands.

-Leo, since Xavier wants to thank you, why don't you follow his wish? Don't let Xavier misunderstand

anything.

Diana looked at Mariana, her words had a different meaning, implying a deeper meaning.

His long, slender fingers rubbed the tall glass in his hand, causing it to become tinged with a layer of

warmth.

However, Leopoldo did not respond to Diana's words.

After a pause, Diana looked at Mariana and Xavier, her voice soft and still smiling, like a mask that

would never fall, hiding the true emotions behind it.

-How did a good atmosphere turn into this. I would like to toast Mari, thank you for designing such a

beautiful costume, and I am really honored that the Elamorad company found me to endorse it.

These words were said in a very decent manner, but with an ulterior motive.

But there was no way to find the origin of that strange sensation. Finally, Mariana raised the tall glass in

her hand and bumped into Diana, speaking in a low voice:

-It is not my merit, it is all the decision of the company's top management and Mr. Durán, so if Ms. Solís

wants to thank him, she should thank Mr. Durán.

After saying that, he ignored Diana again and looked at the wine in his hand, swirling the red wine it

contained.

Off to the side, Xavier saw Mariana act like this, smiled and reached out his hand, touching it softly,

making a clear, crisp sound:

-Cheers!

Mariana's eyes returned to normal as she bowed her head and drank the wine from her glass in one

gulp.

-He's joking, the relationship between Leo and I is good, if I thank him, he'll still think I'm making a fuss.

After saying that, he also drained his wine glass in one go.

Each of the four had their own thoughts, while Diana again showed an inexplicable enthusiasm for

Leopoldo. The two were talking and laughing as if there were no Mariana and Xavier in front of them.

In the end, Diana did not ask again about the design issue.

After finishing their meal, the four of them headed for the door.

Outside, it was already pouring rain. Raindrops were falling from the sky and accumulating on the

ground. Even the line of sight was blocked by this heavy rain.

Mariana and Xavier looked at each other, somewhat helplessly. He hadn't expected such a sudden

downpour today and he hadn't brought an umbrella when he went out.

Diana took Leopoldo's hand and looked at Mariana and Xavier standing in front of her, the smile on her

face unaffected by the rain.

-I am very happy today, thank you for coming.

After a pause, he turned his head to look at Leopold, who stood cold and silent beside him:

-Leo, it's raining outside now, shall we go inside and sit until it stops raining?

Leopold's eyes contained ice and tissue in them as he looked at the other woman not far away.

Receiving no response, Diana spoke again in a low voice:

-Leo?

At that moment, the waiter who had earlier asked Diana for an autograph came over and excitedly

handed Diana an umbrella in his hand and, with a smile, spoke to Diana with a shudder.

-This is the only umbrella left here, you take it, if you get sick from the rain, then you will sadden your

fans.

The smile on Diana's face intensified as she picked up the umbrella:

-Thank you.

The waiter blushed, waved his hand somewhat helplessly and withdrew.

Then, Diana looked at Leopoldo and said with a smile: C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

-Leo, look, now we have an umbrella, so we'd better leave quickly.

Leopoldo did not leave, his icy eyes rested on the woman in front of him. Diana looked with Leopoldo's

line of sight and saw Mariana frowning at the curtain of rain outside.

A burst of anger surged in Diana's heart, causing her to clench the umbrella and her body to shake

unconsciously.

A gust of cold wind blew through and Mariana hugged herself helplessly. With the arrival of the heavy

rain, the temperature seemed to drop in an instant.

Feeling that burning gaze still hovering over her body, Mariana's heart could not avoid a strong tremor,

and her movements could not help but stop for a moment. Only after a while she pretended to be fine

and turned her head.

At that moment, Diana, who was standing next to Leopoldo and holding the umbrella in her hand,

looked at Xavier and Mariana before speaking.
