Chapter 349: Having The Advantage


    Chapter 349: Having the Advantage


    Mariana stood in the bathroom and, after washing her hands, looked at herself in the mirror. At the


    thought of the scene she had just seen of Xavier, her heart sank, slightlyplicated.


    "How did Xavier know where I was?"


    As Mariana guessed, the phone in her pocket vibrated again. She pulled out her phone and discovered


    that the person sending the message was Leopoldo. And the tone from the other party was, well, very


    -"Miss Ortiz, how does it feel when someone confesses their love in public?" he asked.


    "A confession? The truth is, I hadn''t received one."


    Mariana thought about it before she realized what Leopoldo meant.


    How was she to know that Leopoldo was also in that western restaurant? No, if he had been there, he


    would have known that she had not been confessed.


    -I''m sorry to disappoint you, I didn''t get one," Mariana typed a line and hit send with a snort.


    If Xavier had just confessed, even if Leopoldo knew about it, he wouldn''t have intervened....


    "Leopold, you are a very poisonous man!"


    -It gives too muchziness to talk to you.


    With such an expectation, Mariana felt a little disappointed with Leopoldo. Through this incident it could


    be seen that she was of no importance to him.


    He didn''t care what happened to her or where she was.


    Stepping out in ten-centimeter high heels, Mariana had not been steady and unintentionally wobbled.


    She was even about tond on the ground when she was suddenly caught in someone''s arms.


    Mariana tilted her head to look and realized it was Leopoldo.


    "Strange, why was Leopoldo outside?"


    But with such a fall, the man really caught her.


    -My hands hurt," Leopoldo looked at Mariana who was staring at him motionless and said gruffly. Only


    after reacting, Mariana tried to keep her bnce and stand up firmly.


    Then she looked at him, her head full of doubts.


    "Why is Leopoldo here?"


    -Why are you looking at me like that? -Leopoldo felt Mariana''s eyes were strange, and asked


    ungraciously. Her gaze really made people feel ufortable inside.


    Mariana calmed down for a moment before stepping forward.


    -Shouldn''t you be in the office?


    -I had to eat," Leopoldo looked at her, justifying himself.


    It wasn''t unusual to go out to dinner when you''re tired from work. Besides, Leopoldo was the boss, so it


    wasn''t hard for him toe and go as he pleased.


    -Oh.


    Mariana kept looking at Leopoldo without moving, doubt written all over her face. She responded


    adorably, causing Leopoldo to cry andugh and be speechless.


    The woman''s reaction left him with no strength to refute her.


    -Oh, what oh, what are you doing here? -Leopoldo fixed his attention on the woman.


    Coming behind her back to a ce like this meant she was on a date with someone.


    -Noe Cantero asked me to talk about work, and if you don''t believe me, I''ll show you the documents,"


    Mariana didn''t blush and gave a clear exnation. In fact, it was Noe who asked her to talk about work.


    Leopoldo knew more about Mariana than she herself did.


    But even if it was about work, he was still not happy.


    -Talking about what work? I see that even Xavier is here.


    It turned out that the "confession" she was referring to was Xavier. Since Leopoldo was eating at the


    restaurant, he was naturally informed. Because of this, Mariana was able to understand the situation


    better. And regarding Xavier, she knew nothing.


    Who he came to see, she did not know.


    -It wasn''t me that Xavier was looking for, and even if it was me, she didn''t know.


    Mariana looked at Leopoldo, waiting for the man''s answer. With this exnation, he understood most


    things.


    This was all something Xavier had nned alone.


    -Since everything is now clear, let''s go back home," Leopoldo looked at Mariana and spoke in a


    domineering manner.


    When Mariana thought of "going home," her heart resisted a hundred thousand times. She could finally


    take a break, but she wasn''t done rxing, so she had no intention of going back.


    And between the two of them, there were still unresolved issues.


    -Don''t you want to? -Leopoldo scoffed when he saw her hesitation.


    Mariana shook her head and waved her hand.


    -No, no. Eat your food, I''lle back when I''m almost done.


    After speaking, Mariana turned and prepared to flee.


    But before she could take a step, she was stopped by Leopoldo.


    -Stop!


    As soon as his words fell, Mariana stopped in ce.


    Mariana also couldn''t understand why Leopoldo could render her immobile with a single word when it


    was obvious that foot was from his body. Was his voice using some kind of demonic magic?

    -I want you toe back now," Leopoldo faced the woman with his back turned and spoke softly.


    Mariana was very dissatisfied, and was about to turn around to fight for a chance. But unexpectedly,


    her body was suspended in the air. Leopoldo was carrying her.


    -Leopoldo, what are you doing?


    Fearing to attract the attention of more people, Mariana lowered her voice.


    Leopoldo knew Mariana was smart and did not forget to lower the volume in this situation. Her kitten


    was very docile and cunning.


    -If you don''t go home, I''ll take you out for some air.


    Leopold was painfully quick, but he didn''t drag his feet.


    He could manage to guess what Mariana was thinking, and at the same time, he could also manage to


    follow her mind at the right moment. For example, right now, he would actually take her to a ce of


    rxation.


    The bathroom was ten meters away in a straight line and the exit was on the left.


    This route crossed perfectly across the table where Xavier and Noe were standing. The first person to


    notice that Mariana was being taken by Leopoldo was Noe.


    -Why is she here? -Noe looked in Leopoldo''s direction, puzzled.


    Xavier reacted when he saw Noe''s movements. But by that time, Leopoldo had already led Mariana to


    the car.


    -Damn it! -Xavier got up and headed for the door in spite of everything.


    Leopoldo moved half a second, and his eyes darted to the door. Seeing Xavier''s hand barely touch the


    doorknob, he said harshly:


    -Drive.


    Watching the car drive away, Xavier became furious. He had let Leopold get ahead of everything.


    The more this happened, the more Xavier became discouraged.


    -Ouch, you''re hurting me.


    Mariana carefully checked her hand and looked at Leopoldo with aggravation. If he were half as sweet


    as Noe, the two of them wouldn''t get along like this.


    Leopoldo''s heart clenched slightly and he pretended nothing was wrong.


    -Where are you taking me?


    Mariana confirmed that her hand was fine before she felt a little uneasy again.


    Where would be a good ce for Leopoldo to take her?


    -To fish," Leopoldo said coolly as he looked straight ahead.


    "What?"


    Mariana looked at the man in surprise. What Leopoldo had just said about rxing was going fishing.
