Chapter 212: A kiss
Leopoldo, however, was oblivious to the PR manager''s displeasure, and just sat coolly and quietly in
his seat, saying nothing.
Such an aura of his invariably exerted a great pressure on the crowd, and in an instant the scene was
silent, as if the air were frozen.
Mariana could not help biting her lip and was very nervous. However, as time went on, she noticed all
kinds of stares, which made her irritated and uneasy.
Just when Nuria felt that the atmosphere was too bad and wanted to change the subject, she saw
Leopoldo stand up and look coldly at Mariana. He was frowning and looked impatient.
Nuria hurried to touch Mariana, who was still in a daze.
Mariana stood up in a daze and looked at Leopoldo in confusion. She didn''t seem to know why
Leopoldo had done it.
Their actions once again broke the frozen atmosphere. Everyone got excited and rose to their feet in a
flurry of enthusiasm.
-Give a kiss!
-Hurry up! Take a napkin.
-Choose a finer one!
The noises rose and fell, and at that moment, Mariana could only see the cold, stern man in front of
her. They both looked deeply into each other''s eyes and there seemed to be a spark in the air.
Mariana blushed uncontrobly. It was as if she had applied a thickyer of blusher, looking very
seductive and not as pure and cold as usual.
At that moment, someone stepped between the two of them. He was holding in his hand a very thin
napkin, which even the light from the ceilingmp could faintly prate.
Mariana could not help but take half a step back.
However, the next moment, the napkin was still precisely on her lips, forcing her to tilt her head up.
Mariana unconsciously closed her eyes tightly and could only hear the noisy cacophony of voices.
Immediately afterwards, the sound around her seemed to have suddenly diminished and, little by little,
the surroundings fell silent. Mariana was perplexed and frowned slightly. As she was about to open her
eyes to see what was happening, someone suddenly kissed her on the lips and she immediately
stiffened.
Mariana gaped and did not dare to move. Although their lips were separated by a thin napkin, she
could still perceive the shape of Leopoldo''s lips.
Time seemed to pass very slowly, and Mariana felt that even breathing was a luxury. Her cheeks were
very hot.
All this was relieved when Leopoldo''s lips left.
The others burst out instantly with an astonished ovation. They did not seem to expect Leopoldo to do
this.
When Leopoldo straightened up, some of those holding their cell phones to record videos put them
away and the atmosphere reached its peak.
When they went to the karaoke room afterwards, they were stillmenting on the shocking scene
they had just witnessed.
As Mariana walked behind the crowd, next to Nuria and Leonor, she couldn''t help but keep staring at
the cold, stern back in front of her.
-What''s wrong with you? Are you in love with him?
Seeing Mariana''s distracted look, Nuriaughed jokingly and gently tapped her shoulder.
Leonor, at his side, couldn''t help butugh either.
Mariana''s cheeks were still hot and she felt a little ufortable. Shyly, she looked at Nuria, neither
admitting nor refuting.
As Diana, who was now ready to rest, browsed Instagram, she couldn''t help but be stunned, then
narrowed her eyes fiercely.
The next moment, a loud bang echoed in the room.
-Bong!
Diana furiously mmed her phone on the floor. In an instant, the phone broke into pieces and the
parts were scattered on the floor. The scene was very chaotic.
What I had just seen was the video of Leopoldo and Mariana kissing that had been filmed by
employees of the moradpany.
In the video, although Mariana closed her eyes, the cold and stern man was looking at her tenderly. He
was so focused, as if he was looking at his lover.
"How can that be?"
The tremendous anger made Diana tremble uncontrobly. She clenched her hands into fists and the
sharp fingertips dug into her palms. She felt bursts of pain.
Diana quickly got out of bed, pulled out a spare phone and checked the man''s address. It was a
karaoke bar not far from here.
After changing her clothes, Diana immediately headed that way.
The karaoke room.
The people who were joking before felt a little bored after singing a few songs in turn. At that moment,
they saw Mariana and Leopoldo sitting in a corner. The two separated from each other, as if they were
deliberately moving away.

But it hadn''t been long since the two had kissed.
-Mr. Durán, Miss Ortiz, you sit in the corner and don''t join us. It''s too much of a spoilsport, isn''t it? How
about singing a chorus song?
At his words, Mariana looked at Leopoldo, who was sitting next to her, and waved her hand hurriedly.
-No. I sing badly. They willugh at me if I don''t sing well.
Hearing his words, the man still did not give up. He went on to say:
-Wow, no one willugh at you! -Come on!
He then walked to Mariana''s side and handed her the microphone. She hesitated for a moment, he
took the microphone from someone else''s hand and ced it in front of Leopoldo.
-I will help you request a song!
He excitedly ran to the song sorting machine and quickly selected a love song.
Soothing music began to y. A couple''s love story was also yed out on the big screen. Mariana
couldn''t help but hold the microphone tighter. She felt so nervous that her hands had started to sweat.
When it was her turn for her part, Mariana took the microphone and sang slowly before the expectant
eyes of the crowd.
Her voice was clean and bright, flowing slowly like spring water through the hearts of the audience.
Mariana did not sing as badly as she used to say.
It was evenparable to that of a professional singer.
Leopoldo looked intently at the woman beside him. Her eyes were somewhatplex and vaguely
smoldering.
