-You don't have to look at me like that.
There was a look of bitterness on his face, but his head was still erect, like a proud peacock.
-Why did you come looking for me? If it's something I can do, I'll definitely help you.
Mariana looked at the woman in front of her and spoke.
-The man who came to the bar with you that day, is he Leopoldo, the president of Grupo Durán?
Amelia's words made Mariana frown.
-What's wrong?
Amelia gave a bitter smile, lowered her head. Her hands gently rubbed the coffee cup in front of her,
-You know I was originally a designer, the reason my Facebook account was bought at a high price
was because I had updated a lot of design information. I know that's all they cared about, this account
has a lot of design stuff. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Mariana avoided Amelia's gaze, her self-deprecation and self-deprecation made Mariana sympathize
with her.
Not all designers could succeed, there were more people like them who were still on the road and
constantly struggling. Sometimes, a design career is completely ruined by a small setback. This is
normal in this industry.
-I'm sorry, but I need the money, I didn't know that those people had bought my account to do such a
thing, I only understood it after seeing the popular search.
Amelia looked at Mariana, her eyes had the desire to be forgiven.
-You can tell Mr. Durán to forgive me. Now I just make a living at the bar.
Amelia laughed, but her face was calm and unperturbed.
Mariana frowned, looked at Amelia in disbelief.
-What? -Mariana's voice trembled.
-You probably still don't know that it was Mr. Durán who made my boss fire me, and now I have no
money, no place to live and no job, I have no choice but to come looking for you.
Mariana was surprised. This situation was something she had not expected,
-Are you sure all this was done by Señor Durán? He didn't make trouble for you that day.
The smile on Amelia's face was bright, like a fire that wanted to do everything it could to show its last
light before paying off.
This was the deepest feeling Amelia gave Mariana at this moment. It was as if an invisible palm was
squeezing her throat and making it difficult for her to even breathe.
Mariana's complexion was bad.
With trembling hands, Mariana gently lifted the cup of coffee in front of her, took a sip. When she raised
her head again, she had regained her usual calm and composure, and looked at Amelia,
-Is everything you said real?
After the last incident, Mariana already knew Leopoldo's way of handling things. If he wanted to destroy
someone, he definitely did not take anyone's thoughts into account, even if it was her. He could have
ordered these things in front of her, but he didn't....
Amelia lowered her head to hide her complicated feeling. After a while, she raised her head and looked
at Mariana,
-What are you saying? Do you think I'm lying to you? -the tone was slightly elevated.
-It's possible he was bribed by someone. After all, you have done those things.
Mariana looked at Amelia with indifference. In fact, she wasn't sure, she was just feeling Amelia out.
It was possible that she wanted to cause misunderstanding between her and Leopoldo and that the
person behind it was Andrea.
Amelia got up and bumped into the table. Coffee sloshed across the table.
-I shouldn't have come to beg you, I didn't expect such an outcome. I thought you were different when I
saw you that day, but it's true that upper-class people like you don't understand the misery of lower-
class people.
After saying that, Amelia picked up the bag and left in a huff.
Mariana was thinking in the same place. The white tablecloth was stained by coffee.
"But if Leopoldo really did it?"
With a great agitation in her heart, Mariana got up, took out her cell phone, found Leopoldo's number,
but did not call him.
"What am I going to say?"
Yesterday she had been saved by him, but today she was going to question him like that, and even last
time he had appeared in time to save her, hadn't he?
Each time, it was Leopoldo who saved her.
After leaving the cafeteria, Mariana returned to the set somewhat frustrated. She spent the afternoon
confused and went home immediately after work.
As he entered, he saw Leopoldo sitting on the living room couch, legs lazily crossed, sipping his coffee
and staring at the laptop in front of him.
-The food is ready, Mr. Durán returned a while ago and is waiting for me to come back for dinner.
Ma'am, go upstairs and change your clothes, I'm going to serve the dishes.
Mariana smiled and nodded her head. She went upstairs to change clothes and when she came down,
Leopoldo was already sitting at the dining room table.
She was wearing home clothes and he looked much softer, but his cold expression still made people
still afraid.
At this moment, Mariana remembered Amelia's words.
