CHAPTER 494: Persistence.


    CHAPTER 494: Persistence.


    Leopoldo didn''t have to look up to know who this was.


    He paused and continued with what was in his hand. At the moment, he had no interest in engaging in


    small talk with the other party. Especially after what had happened the night before, Leopold''s dislike of


    Emily had grown.


    Emily stood alone, more or less embarrassed. She looked at the man and called out softly again:


    -Brother Leopoldo....


    She did not believe that a man like Leopold could resist the pursuit of a young girl of his delicate age. If


    he persevered, he would seed.


    -If you have something to say, say it. If not, please leave.


    Leopoldo looked at her and his words made Emily shiver.


    Emily still felt a certain fear of Leopoldo. Especially when this man spoke seriously, that feeling was


    deeply rooted in Emily''s heart.


    She looked at him hurt.


    -What happened yesterday... It was my fault, so let me ask for your forgiveness.


    Emily knew that Leopoldo wouldn''t really be cruel, and as long as he took the initiative to apologize,


    things wouldn''t be serious.


    And yesterday, Mariana even pped her.


    In theory, Emily was the one who should seek justice. She had been bullied and hadn''t even settled the


    score with Mariana until now. When she woke up early in the morning, she ran to thepany in a


    panic.


    -It''s not me you should be apologizing to," Leopoldo lowered the paper in his hand and spoke softly.


    It really wasn''t him that Emily should apologize to, she should go apologize to the person she


    threatened. Mariana no longer had much to do with him.


    -Brother Leopoldo, since you have contact with her anyway, just transfer the apology for me -Emily said


    bluntly that she didn''t want to see Mariana.


    That woman was just a nuisance to her.


    Leopoldo took a breath, looked at Emily and said seriously:


    -I no longer have any rtionship with her, so you have to apologize yourself.


    After holding on for so long, he ended up losing himself to reality. If Mariana didn''t like him, then why


    would she be so persistent? After all, he couldn''t be too presumptuous when the time came to let her


    go.


    -What did you say? -Emily looked at him in surprise.


    If she had heard correctly, what Leopold had meant was that he wanted to cut ties with the woman.


    She had done nothing, and his purpose had been fulfilled. So it seemed that God was really helping


    her.


    -I won''t say it again," Leopoldo said coldly.


    Emily was so surprised and delighted that she even suspected she was dreaming. First thing in the


    morning, she received some good news. Leopoldo and Mariana were no longer rted, which meant


    that one of Emily''s most threatening enemies no longer existed.


    -If you have nothing more to say, go.


    Leopoldo had no time for the woman''s joyous emotions.


    Emily nodded slightly before cing the breakfast on the man''s table.


    -I heard from the secretary that you stayed up all night working. Brother Leopold should take good care


    of his body before he overexerted himself.


    After bringing him his loving breakfast, Emily prepared to leave.


    Leopoldo saw the woman walk out the door and threw the breakfast straight into the trash. He was not


    in the habit of eating breakfast, and if he needed to, it must have been made by Mariana''s hands.


    -Miss Velázquez.


    The secretary immediately stood up when she saw Emily leave her office.


    Emily''s attitude took a 360-degree turn and she shed a smile.


    -I''m sorry, I was too hard on you earlier. I hope you didn''t take it to heart.


    The secretary was surprised to see her.


    -It''s all right, Miss Vzquez.


    Her mind was full of doubts, and for a moment she couldn''t figure out what was going through her


    head.


    "This woman really has two faces."


    -Well, I''ll go to work first.


    Emily waved to the secretary and left with her bag. The secretary winced as she watched her go.


    It would actually be a little scary if Emily became the president''s wife in the future.


    -Miss Vzquez, be careful," the secretary said unconsciously.


    Seeing how respectful the secretary was, Emily didn''t forget to turn her head and smile in response.


    The secretary looked at the other party''s starting address and, as an afterthought, muttered to herself


    somewhat incredulously:


    -That''s odd, why did I tell her to be careful?


    They both worked for the samepany, but Emily''s position was much lower than hers.


    The secretary thought about it and felt she had taken a big loss.


    "But is it okay for Mr. Duran to keep working sincest night?"


    Looking in the other direction, the secretary''s heart was slightly stunned, and though her heart was


    troubled, she dared nothing.


    With Leopoldo''s temperament, he would not appreciate anything she did.

    -Here it is.


    The secretary flipped through the ess notebook in her hand and found Mariana''s name and phone


    number.


    Everyone said that Mariana was the best medicine for Leopoldo. If Mariana was here to take care of


    Leopoldo, then he should be much better. With this in mind, the secretary dialed the woman''s number.


    After two beeps, the phone was answered.


    -Hello?


    At that moment, Mariana was on her way to send little Daniel to school. She wasn''t about to listen to


    some crappy principal''s advice that her son shouldn''t be taking sses at home when all the other kids


    were going to school.


    -Miss Ortiz, hi, I''m Mr. Duran''s secretary.....


    Mariana hung up before the secretary could finish introducing herself. She did not have the heart to


    have contact with people who were rted to Leopoldo, now she had to say goodbye to that man


    The secretary looked at the hung up phone with eyes full of doubts.


    "How strange, why did Mariana hang up the phone so quickly?"


    -Mom, is that Uncle Leopoldo? -Daniel rubbed his eyes and asked Mariana curiously.


    Daniel still longed for Leopoldo''s presence, but the more forcefully Daniel acted, the more Mariana''s


    heart felt that father and son should not meet. Her son had to have a normal life.


    Mariana continued driving without answering her son''s question and dialed Leopoldo''s number.


    -Hello...


    -Mariana? -Leopoldo answered the call and suddenly a gleam appeared in his dark eyes. Naturally, he


    was surprised that Mariana was calling him on the phone so early in the morning, which made his


    emotions uncontroble.


    Mariana looked down the road and said indifferently:


    -Did you ask the secretary to call me?


    -I didn''t," said Leopoldo, puzzled and somewhat ufortable.
