Chapter 346: Sleeping In Separate Beds

Chapter 346: Sleeping in separate beds

The bed in the guest room was not as spacious as the one in the bedroom, but it was enough for

Mariana to sleep on her own.

She lay in bed, reflecting on the day's events, and after calming down, she realized that she had acted

jealous during the night....

With this thought, Mariana shook her head hurriedly.

"How could she be? I was just pissed off because of Leopoldo's attitude."

After comforting herself in this way, she soon put those thoughts behind her. After the emotional ups

and downs of the day, Mariana had been unusually tired for some time, and at this point, forcing herself

not to think about Leopoldo, she soon fell asleep.

The next day, Mariana deliberately got up late and only went downstairs at noon, to avoid Leopoldo, as

she did not want to see that face now.

She had not expected to be able to do so, although she had already avoided him that way.

When Mariana came downstairs, Leopoldo was already seated at the dining room table.

It was lunchtime, and he had always eaten lunch in the office.

-Get up and come eat. Everyone is your favorite.

If it weren't for the fact that the food on the table had changed from sandwiches to a table of fancy

dishes, Mariana would have thought she was back to yesterday, starting as usual.

This time, she ignored Leopoldo and walked over, picked up her bowl of rice and ate in silence.

After taking that hit, Leopoldo was not angry. After sobering up this morning, the first thing he

remembered was what happened last night, and after realizing what he had said, his face darkened.

It was not his intention, but under the effect of alcohol, he repeatedly said words that hurt Mariana,

even going so far as to misinterpret her only kind words.

Leopoldo wanted to go back to yesterday and slap himself.

According to Mariana's nature, he would probably get angry again. Thinking about this, he thought he

should make a serious apology today.

Therefore, Leopoldo waited all morning, but did not see Mariana come down. However, he did not want

to disturb her sleep, it was already very late when he returned last night, and she had obviously stayed

up waiting for him.

At the thought of this, Leopoldo's heart softened a little and he relented willingly. So he postponed his

morning work in the office and waited downstairs.

It was already noon when he saw Mariana slowly coming down from upstairs.

Originally, he wanted to play hard to get, but when he saw Mariana's lazy look, his heart melted, and Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

his words also became softer.

He didn't want to make a fool of himself again.

-Last night...

The two were silent for a while before Leopoldo spoke hesitantly.

But Mariana remained silent, pretending not to hear his words.

Naturally, Leopoldo did not miss the contempt on Mariana's face. According to his usual nature, he

would have already gotten up from the table and left, but this time he could not get up.

-I'm sorry about last night, I didn't mean to.

Seeing that Mariana had no intention of speaking, Leopoldo could only continue with a stiff upper lip.

Mariana, who was eating with her head down, had a fleeting look of astonishment in her eyes, as she

did not expect Leopoldo to apologize for it.

However, an apology did not mean she had to accept it.

-I understand, Señor Durán. You don't need to explain yourself.

Mariana put down the dishes in her hand and met Leopoldo's gaze, it was the first time she had looked

directly at him since she came downstairs.

She was surprised to find a hint of wariness in Leopoldo's eyes.

But soon, this point was rejected by Mariana, how could Leopoldo be wary of her? This man who met

another woman the night before and spoke coldly to her again.

-Actually...

Leopoldo wanted to remind Mariana that he didn't mean it.

Unfortunately, Mariana did not give him a chance to explain.

-I'll be back to work this afternoon, so take your time to eat, Señor Durán.

She had almost recovered and was due to return to work as of today. To avoid Leopoldo, he took

another half-day off from work, but still did not manage to avoid him.

As for what he was going to say, she was not at all interested.

Leopoldo watched silently as Mariana walked up the stairs and reappeared in front of him fully dressed.

The words he was going to say didn't come out after all.

What else could he say?

Mariana walked past him and out the door in her high heels. Then the metallic sound of her heels faded

away.

Standing in front of the company, she looked at the building and noticed that it had been a long time

since she had been to the company. Mariana decided to leave Leopoldo and all those messy things

aside, and thought that work was the most important thing.

As she was sorting out her emotions, a voice came from behind her.

-Goddess!

She didn't need to turn around to know who it was, and as if to verify her thoughts, Noe's figure

appeared in front of her the next moment.

It was evident that Noe had just eaten, and her brow furrowed unconsciously.

"How come I couldn't avoid any of the people I've been wanting to hide from today?"

-Goddess, you're finally back, are you okay? I noticed that you haven't come to the office for a few days

now, and I was very anxious.

As soon as Noe approached her, he was going to reach out to pull her hand, heedless of the fact that

he was at the entrance of the company and his action would bring influence to Mariana.

She took a step back, away from Noe.

-I'm fine, thank you for your concern. Something had happened to me at home and I've taken a few

days off.

There was an undisguised distancing in her voice, but unfortunately, Noe didn't notice. He was now so

worried about Mariana that he didn't even notice that she had stepped back.

-Did something happen at home? What happened? -Is it serious?

Without giving Mariana the slightest time to react, Noe launched a series of questions, the anxiety on

his face unmistakable.

Mariana was always polite to him because she had realized he was being sincere, but this warmth was

too much and she could only respond with a distant attitude.

Her intention was for Noe to find out for himself.

-Sorry, it's a personal matter I'm not at liberty to tell.

Perhaps sensing that he had lost his temper a bit, Noe scratched his head awkwardly, an apologetic

smile on his lips.

-Sorry, I was out of line, but it's good to see you're okay. My heart will finally relax.

-I'm running late, so I'll leave first.

Mariana excused herself to leave in a hurry. She really couldn't face Noe.

-Wait, I have something else to tell you.....

Looking at Mariana's back as she was about to disappear, Noe took big steps to chase after her, but

she seemed to be deliberately trying to avoid him, and walked faster and faster.
