Chapter 104: No Surrender


    Chapter 104: No Surrender


    At this moment, Leopoldo was in a high-end restaurant, his eyes containing a touch of sadness.


    The elegant sound of the piano echoed in the restaurant, soft and affectionate. Such an atmosphere


    was fitting for a date.


    At that moment, there was ady sitting in front of Leopoldo.


    Her brown hair was spread over her shoulders, slightly curled, wrapped around a beautiful face, with


    kind eyes and a soft smile.


    He stretched out his fingers and gently lifted the tall ss in front of him and took a sip,


    -Leo, long time no see.


    There was joy in his tone at being reunited after a long time.


    -I''m back.


    The person sitting in front of Leopoldo was Diana, who had just returned.


    He was gentle on the surface, but his eyes were full of intent, and he stared at Leopold, feeling


    determined to win him over.


    -Long time no see," came a cold voice.


    -I''ve been abroad for many years chasing my dream, but I still feel empty inside, as if I''ve left


    something important behind here.


    He looked directly at Leopoldo, Diana''s words were full of deep meaning.


    -Is that so?


    However, Diana discovered that today''s Leopold was even colder than then, silent and quiet.


    But he didn''t give up. He had made some wrong decisions once, he wouldn''t do it a second time.


    -When I was abroad, I kept in touch with Andrea, and from time to time she would tell me something


    about you.


    And Leopold''s long, slender fingers unintentionally brushed the rim of the ss, his face still calm.


    Slightly stunned, Diana did not expect Leopold to be silent upon hearing these words from her, and


    there was a hint of annoyance in her heart, gently biting her lower lip, her eyes already holding back


    tears.


    -Leo, are you still ming me? I left, I...


    Before Diana could finish, the man in front of her had already interrupted her words. His voice was low


    and clear,


    -I know, I don''t me you.


    In fact, if I med her, then I wouldn''t have wanted her toe back.


    However, at this moment, there was a strange feeling in his heart, as if the words spoken were only


    instinctive and not the true thoughts deep in his heart.


    Hearing these words, Diana''s eyes lit up with joy as she looked at Leopoldo, the corners of her mouth


    curved into a soft smile and all the depression she had just felt disappeared.


    She knew it was so!


    However, in the next sentence, he heard the man in front of him ask coldly:


    -Why are youing back?


    Although he had not paid particr attention to their affairs, he did know something about it.


    Diana looked down, raised the ss of wine in front of her and took a sip,


    -Because there is someone here that I can''t let go.


    Leopold''s hand paused for a moment, then returned to its natural state.


    At that moment, the phone suddenly rang, cutting off what Diana was about to say.


    Looking at the name still shing on the screen, Leopoldo frowned and hung up decisively.


    -What do you mean?


    The words were much softer.


    -Nothing," Diana smiled.

    Sitting on the sofa for a long time, Mariana looked at the phone she had hung up, and now the phone


    screen had gone dark again, revealing an inexplicable coldness. Rising somewhat dejectedly, Mariana


    took onest look at the cold dishes on the table and turned to go upstairs.


    Today''s "home" seemed to be extraordinarily cold.


    The next day, Mariana arrived early to the set and was stopped by the assistant director as soon as


    she arrived,


    -Mari, the director wants to see you, there is a meeting.


    Raising her eyebrows, Mariana looked at the assistant and was a little confused,


    -Now?


    -Yes, Mari, you can go to the meeting room first, I still have to go brief others, so I''ll go first.


    Although she was still very puzzled, Mariana did not return to the dressing room and went straight to


    the meeting room.


    As soon as he entered, he found that there were already a number of people seated inside, all of whom


    were considered the core of the Empress Santa production team.


    Then, Mariana found a seat in a corner and sat down, realizing that today''s meeting must be about


    something important.


    Finally, almost everyone was there. The director sat at the front of the room with his hands sped,


    looking at the cast and crew, but his eyes lingered on Mariana for a moment, then returned to normal.


    The director spoke out loud,


    -We have called everyone here today, because we have something important to tell you.


    Everyone looked at each other, thinking that the most important thing for the team was the selection of


    the female lead, and now it seemed that the female lead would be decided today.


    For a while, everyone couldn''t help but stare at Mariana, and even some people who had noticed the


    look the director had just given them began to whisper, and the center of the conversation was,


    naturally, Mariana.


    -Is it really her?


    -Okay, the online boycott didn''t even change the decision of the director and producer! My God, who


    are the people behind this Mariana!


    -She is so lucky!


    Although she had done her best to keep her voice down, all kinds of words reached Mariana''s ears.


    In the next moment, the surrounding area was suddenly silent.


    The scene, which had been somewhat noisy, was suddenly hushed, as if the fall of a needle might


    cause amotion.


    Mariana raised her head and saw the stupefied expressions on the faces of the people right in front of


    her, and couldn''t help but turn around.


    She was a woman.


    With a soft smile on her face, her long brown hair fell over her shoulders.


    At that point, the director stood up and looked at the crowd before pointing to the new woman and


    began to introduce her,


    -She is Diana Solis, soon to be the protagonist!


    As soon as the words ended, there was another burst of excitement from below. The crowd could not


    help but look at each other, and some alsoid their eyes on Mariana''s body with different expressions.


    Such a sudden change was something no one expected.


    Mariana''s whole body froze at the sound of that name, and a myriad of thoughts passed through her


    mind, as her eyes stared at the shadow of that person.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    So she was Diana. The woman who had long been remembered by Leopold.


    -I am Diana, pleased to meet you.


    His voice was very soft, like a warm current that constantly pierced the hearts of the crowd, and for a


    while all kinds ofpliments rang out.


    However, doubts still arose,


    -Director, is it appropriate? The previous protagonist has the poprity, if...


    Before he could finish, a man interrupted his words.
