Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234: Well Done

Trembling in her heart, Mariana slowly lowered her head and put the manuscript on her chest. But this feeling could not be clearly explained and grew wildly without a source.

However, she also felt a little helpless. That person could always influence her emotions very successfully, and she could only bear it passively.

Mariana pressed the elevator and waited quietly at the door.

At that moment, a strange feeling appeared in her heart, and she suddenly felt a little uneasy. She couldn't help but sigh and smooth out the hem of her skirt and the hair that had just been messed up by the friction. Also, she hid the confused thoughts deep in her heart.

Soon the elevator arrived and slowly opened its doors.

Just as he wanted to lift his foot, he saw Ana coming out of the elevator,

-Ana?

After a pause, Ana looked up and saw Mariana. She took her hand and the excitement in her eyes dissipated a little,

-Mari! It's almost time for you to give your speech on stage and you're still here," he paused. What happened?

-I have come to... get the speech, it will be useful later.

Mariana raised her hand, held up the A4 paper and waved it gently to indicate this, smiling coldly.

Ana pouted and looked a little helpless.

-So, can we go? There's only an hour left and you still have to remember....

-Well, the time is near, let's go.

Mariana nodded slightly and raised her hand to press the elevator button again and stop the door that was about to close.

-Yes.

The two arrived at the hall, and their delicate and elegant appearance immediately attracted the gaze of many people, who turned their heads to look at them.

On stage, the end of the last speech was in progress, and they found a place where they would not attract too much attention and sat down. Mariana looked carefully at the speech in her hand, while Ana watched the slightly unfamiliar faces around her.

-Mari, where is Mr. Durán?

Ana raised her hand and touched the arm of the person next to her. Mariana was trying to memorize the script, and looked up a little dazed by her blow.

-I don't know...

Before the words were out of her mouth, she was stunned.

The man wore a well-fitting black suit, his body was full of wariness and nobility. He entered the room step by step with an icy aura like that of a god, attracting the attention of those present as soon as he appeared.

Each step was like stepping on Mariana's heart, making her lose her concentration. Her eyes followed his figure closely, somewhat dazed.

Ana knew the general thoughts in her mind as she saw her appearance, she reached out and nudged Mariana's hand again, urging.

-Don't look, there's almost no time, there's still half an hour left.

Immediately her thoughts returned, Mariana hid the inexplicable expression in her eyes and then lowered her head to concentrate on the content of the speech.

Soon it was Mariana's turn to deliver her speech. When the speaker on stage finished his last speech, he left the stage and the presenter began to read the transition words.

After folding the script in her hand and placing it in Ana's, Mariana straightened her outfit and stood up. She walked slowly toward the stage, her skirt cutting graceful arcs between her movements.

First she greeted with a slight smile on her lips. Mariana's eyes were clear, making people feel that she was gentle.

Below the stage, Leopoldo watched the stage in silence. Observing Mariana's calm and confident posture, the corners of her mouth emitted a delicate curve, and her heart moved slightly.

Not far away, Diana's eyes followed Leopold, and when she saw the slightest hint of softness in his eyes, she became disgusted. Her eyes filled with resentment and jealousy, and she clutched her delicate skirt so tightly that her original appearance could no longer be identified.

Mariana then continued to sip the juice slowly.

At that moment, Xavier approached and took the initiative to touch Mariana's glass, with a flirtatious smile on his face,

-Well, that wasn't bad. You did really well," he looked her up and down again and said with a smile. The makeup is also exquisite, and it matches the dress.

Hearing this, Ana was a little confused. She had thought the dress was the one she had given Mariana, so she pretended to mention it casually.

-Didn't you give this dress to Mari?

Xavier raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke in a soft voice.

-What? My staff told me that Mariana had already put on her dress and didn't need it, what's wrong?

Hearing these words, Mariana realized that the dress she was wearing was not the one Xavier had sent her, so who could it be?

Thinking about Diana's imperative attitude toward the dress and her relationship with Leopold, he had a suspicion. Although she knew it was unlikely, she still wanted to find out, even if the outcome could not satisfy her.

As it got late, the party soon came to an end and everyone wandered away.

Mariana returned home and closed the door before turning on the light. In the darkness she saw a flicker of light in the bedroom. She turned on the light, changed her shoes and walked softly, leaning against the door to listen for the sound of the paper turning the page inside.

He knocked on the door twice, and soon heard a rustle of cloth and footsteps approaching.

The door opened to reveal Leopold's handsome, expressionless face.

His hair was slightly damp, he was wrapped in a bathrobe and the warm light behind him enveloped him, making him seem to emit a glow behind him. I was so close to him that I could even make out the fine, soft fuzz on his face.

She was a little shy. Her pretty face flushed and she murmured; -The dress.... Did you send it to me?
