Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134: Still playing with me

The woman, who was scrutinizing the design of the dress, looked up startled and met a pair of eyes that quickly became tinged with anger. An extreme coldness assaulted her body.

-Why did you come back?

And he came to his room.

Instead of answering her, however, the man stepped directly in front of her. In the next instant, he reached out and strangled her delicate neck, forcefully and unforgivingly.

-Who allowed you to touch this dress?

A strong tremor in her heart made it much more difficult to breathe. Mariana opened her mouth helplessly, trying to breathe, and her face gradually flushed from suffocation.

Her hands struggled to push the man's palms away and her hoarse voice struggled out of her throat:

-Leopoldo... let go of me.

As if he hadn't heard her, the man who gave off an icy aura narrowed his eyes and raised his jaw, but his delicate face expressed fierce anger.

-Are you worthy of that?

Then, with an energetic movement of her hand, the woman flung herself towards the dressing mirror like a kite with a broken string. Instantly, there was a violent roar in the room.

-Cof... cof... cof...

Holding her neck, Mariana coughed with effort. A few tears welled up in her eyes from the intense movement. She gasped hard for a while before the redness on her face subsided a bit.

She looked up, with some hesitation, at the man gazing down at her from above, immediately Mariana's heart swelled with sadness and anger. She felt like an unimportant person who could be scolded and beaten at will.

-Why?

Leopoldo opened his eyes slightly and felt something strange inside. He looked away from the woman on the floor, no longer looking at her vulnerable form.

-Take off your dress.

With these indifferent words, the man took long strides and turned to leave.

The desolation in her heart amplified and Mariana tried to smile, but found herself powerless. She felt like a manipulated puppet, but now the string that had held her was broken.

Numb, she stood up, ignoring the pain she was in, took off her dress, folded it carefully, put it back in the dark green box and closed the lid before going to Leopold's room and knocking on the door.

Just as she pushed open the door, the rich smell of tobacco in the air instantly overwhelmed Mariana and enveloped her completely, as if trying to get her to contract the unique taste of that person.

He didn't know what to do and stepped back, walking out of the room, and stood outside the door.

But just in time she saw her action Leopold who had turned away, and in an instant her anger was again like a wave that wanted to swallow her up.

Mariana bit her lip and lowered her eyes, hiding all the emotions in them. Finally, she stepped forward step by step and handed him the box in her hand.

-Here you are...

Finally, he didn't have the courage to say "I'm sorry" to her after a long time of hesitation.

The next moment, a loud bang was heard and the box Mariana was holding disappeared, but rather lay broken in the corner, and the yellow dress it contained had fallen to the floor, staining it with dust.

Her heart suddenly jerked hard and a sharp pain came to her, causing her to frown.

-Do you think I'd want something you've used?

Even with weakness, Mariana laughed at such a ridiculous scene. Her eyes seemed clear and full of tears, like a shimmering lake or ice that broke on the ground.

-What are you laughing at?

A pain from her jaw left Mariana feeling a bit sick, the wrinkle between her forehead deepened considerably.

-Or were you preparing to seduce me with this dress? Why did you go to so much trouble?

Seeing her like this, Leopold frowned fiercely, feeling a pain in his heart. He was now fully dressed.

But the next second, his eyes regained their usual coldness. Then he turned and walked away.

All this brought Mariana enormous discomfort, and even her throat became dry and she felt like vomiting.

Early the next morning, Ana came to pick up the fabric. As soon as she entered the villa, she couldn't help but marvel at the elegantly decorated and surprisingly large interior:

-Mari, I didn't expect your family to be so rich, that you live in a villa in the suburbs. There is no one around and the environment is quiet, you are so happy!

Speaking, she rushed forward and threw her arms excitedly around Mariana's neck.

Mariana, however, unconsciously gave a slight cry of surprise.

Her injuries were almost healed, but she had been tortured by Leopoldo the night before.

With concern in her eyes, Ana hurried to let go and asked worriedly:

-Mari, are you all right?

She lowered her gaze, which landed on the bruises on the other woman's slender white neck, and was instantly stunned.

With another glance at the surprisingly spacious villa, a host of feelings surged through Anne's mind. Finally, with a slight cough, she looked away and changed the subject:

-Mari, did you find that fabric? Give it to me now, I'll take it with me so I can finish the suit quickly, otherwise Diana will reproach me again if I delay the production!

Anne was enraged at the thought of Diana, and her face became tinged with anger.

-Mari, you don't know how hateful that woman is! Without Xavier on the crew, now she's almost become his, and everything depends on her! And even our boss always comes to visit her.

Clinging to Mariana's arm, Ana could not stop complaining about Diana.
