Chapter 140: Very Fragile


    Chapter 140: Very Fragile


    It was only when the figure of the man disappeared that Diana withdrew her gaze, a tinge of contempt


    crossing her eyes, then turned her head and looked at Leopold, bing demure and virtuous.


    -Leo, where are we going for dinner after the shoot today? My agent recently rmended a good


    western restaurant, or shall we go there?


    However, when Diana finished speaking, the other party did not respond.


    The man sitting on the couch remained silent there, his lowered eyes hiding the emotions in them and


    making it impossible for people to guess what he was thinking.


    Rising, Diana approached him and gently nudged him.


    -Leo?


    Leopold raised his head and his gaze fell on her, putting aside the magazine in his hand that he had


    not read.


    -What''s wrong?


    Diana frowned with hatred as she looked at Leopold in front of her, a little displeased at heart, but as


    gentle and affectionate as ever on the surface.


    -Why are you so distracted? I asked you if you wanted to go to that restaurant my agent rmended


    tonight.


    The hand hanging at his side clenched involuntarily, the pain of the sharp nails sinking into his palm


    allowing him to barely contain the anger and fear rising in his mind.


    Leopold had been acting like this for a long time; in the few days he stayed with her, he had always


    been in a trance from time to time, very distracted.


    The man narrowed his eyes in order to hide the emotions that were short-lived, giving the impression of


    being unpredictable.


    -There''s too much work piling up at thepany these days, as you''re feeling better now, I''d better get


    back.


    After saying this, he stood up and straightened the wrinkles in his suit jacket, with a very leisurely and


    natural attitude.


    At this, Diana became slightly nervous and could barely keep her smile on her face. Looking at


    Leopoldo, she stepped forward and took him by the arm, whispering:


    -Okay, take care of yourself on the road and call me when you get to thepany.


    However, there was an obvious look of loss on his face. Leopoldo frowned, spoke of nothing, nodded


    and left.


    Diana clenched her fists and gritted her teeth in resentment as she watched the departing figure


    without looking back.


    In the office of the president of Grupo Durán.


    Standing in front of the window, Leopold gazed at the night scene outside, and the darkness in his eyes


    seemed to be dispelled a little by the reflections in his pupils from the bright neon light.


    The assistant stepped forward and looked at his boss''s back, feeling a little strange. Leopold at this


    moment seemed to have a different emotion than his usual seriousness and indifference, but he


    remained imprable.


    -Mr. Durán, I have investigated the matter of Miss Diana''s food poisoning at your request. The woman


    who had given the sandwiches and coffee to thedy to ask her to send them resigned and left for no


    apparent reason, now her whereabouts are unknown.


    There was a pause and the assistant raised his eyebrows.


    -Continued.


    Leopoldo indicated calmly.


    -Yes, other than that, there is nothing unusual. But from the evidence gathered so far, it really doesn''t


    look like Madam was deliberately trying to harm Miss Diana, not many people know about her peanut


    allergy.


    After all, in a chaotic ce like show business, if anyone found out about her fatal weakness, they


    could plunder Diana''s resources with a little trickery.


    The man always standing in front of the window did not move, but his aura became more and more icy,


    with a deep majesty that made the air in the office freeze a little.


    -Mr. Durán, you don''t think the Se?ora would do something like that either, do you? That''s why you


    asked me to look into it, so if so, why have you ignored her all this time and stayed with Miss Diana at


    all times?


    Finally, the assistant asked the question that had been on his mind.


    Leopold stretched out his broad palm and ced it on the clean, transparent ss in front of him. His


    gaze was, as always, unfeeling and deep.


    Why?


    In fact, he was not sure that Mariana would do such a thing, so he had asked his assistant to look into


    it.


    But it was actually Diana who had been injured. In his mind there was a slight suspicion that the


    incident might have something to do with her.


    Staying by his side at all times could take care of his injuries and also prevent him from doing anything


    else.


    But when the results of this ambiguous research were presented to him, he had no desire to continue.


    -I know, go away.


    Speaking casually, the man remained standing in front of the window.


    The assistant looked at his boss and could not help but make a long face. Naturally, he, as an

    assistant, could not intervene in these matters. He had no choice but to turn around and leave the


    office.


    The office became quiet again. Leopold fixed his gaze outside the window, deep in concentration, but


    suddenly the woman''s pale face came to his mind: her ck hair was scattered down her back, some


    of whichy in disarray beside her cheeks, looking very fragile.


    A spasm went through the heart in his chest.


    On this day, the crew changed the day off and it was Mariana''s turn to rest, and she woke up in the


    morning with nothing to do at home.


    The director had criticized her because of her initiative in admitting that she had caused Diana''s food


    poisoning, but, for some reason, there was no further punishment after the criticism and he allowed her


    to return.


    This apparently biased move infuriated the casting staff, but they dared not contradict the director, so


    he began to iste her in private.


    As a result, Mariana had not been very happy on the set during this time. Now she finally had a day off


    and could rx.


    However, the joy did notst long.


    There was a knock at the door, followed by the nanny''s voice:


    -Madam, there is ady to see you.


    Confused, Mariana went to the door, opened it, looked at the nanny still standing outside, and asked


    frowningly and perplexedly:


    -Miss? Is it Anita?


    -No, she is a young woman I have not seen before.


    The nanny shook her head and quickly responded.


    He had no choice but to follow the nanny downstairs, but was surprised to see an unexpected guest in


    the living room, none other than Andrea, whom he had not seen for some time!


    Several thoughts went through her mind as Mariana went to sit on the couch across from her and


    frowned, not knowing what was going on.


    -It seems we don''t have a friendly rtionship, I wonder why you came for me.


    At this point, the nanny brought two sses of water and ced them in front of them.


    Andrea withdrew her gaze that had been observing the surroundings, before looking at Mariana in front


    of her and speaking in a low voice:


    -I didn''t expect Miss Ortiz''s house to be such a luxury, what a surprise.


    Indeed, a building with such a decoration in such an area could not be achieved with a little money.


    Andrea lowered her eyes, hiding the excitement in them. She lifted the ss in front of her and held it


    in her hands, taking a small sip.


    -But you don''t even have tea in the water, Miss Ortiz, you''re too stingy.


    Mariana narrowed her eyes slightly and moved back to lean against the soft sofa, realizing that Andrea


    hade to find trouble for her.
