Chapter 74: A Blow

After a pause, Perla continued.

-Besides, Mrs. Perez has a reputation in the high class. If she wears the dress designed by Mari, more

people will be able to admire Mar's design. I'm also doing it for Mari's sake.

Perla looked at Mariana gently, as if expressing intimate goodwill.

-Mari, since Perla has said so, then you should agree," Juan spoke at the right moment.

Helpless, Mariana could only accept it.

Now, the smile on Perla's face grew even thicker.

As she parked the car at the entrance to the Patio Feliz, Mariana was about to open the door when

cold words came from behind her.

-The invitation is for you, I will go in alone.

Mariana turned around in a daze and looked at Leopoldo, who didn't want to give her a single glance

from behind, but finally she took the golden invitation.

"He's not willing to go with me. I should have thought this through." With a slight sigh, Mariana held up

the invitation and walked step by step to the front without looking back.

The next day.

Mariana looked at the clothes scattered on the bed. She couldn't find a dress for dinner and didn't know

what to do.

At that moment, she heard the talk between Zoraida and Lionel. Then Mariana already left the room.

-Why did you come?

Hearing this, Lionel handed a large box in his hand to Mariana and said with a smile:

-Naturally, Mr. Durán has prepared a dress especially for you.

Zoraida laughed:

-Leopoldo is so attentive and so good to Mari.

After saying that, he even nodded his head.

Mariana bit down gently on her lower lip, but hesitantly extended her hand to accept it.

Lionel looked at her in surprise, very puzzled.

-Madam, this is the dress for today's party, it is in your size.

Mariana's face turned red and she spoke softly:

-Thank you, and also thank Leopoldo.

-Then, since the dress has been delivered, I'll leave first. Miss, you can call me when you leave.

Lionel dismissed Zoraida and left.

In the evening, Mariana arrived alone at the party and saw Leopoldo in the middle of the crowd, but

there was a woman standing next to him, it was Andrea.

Mariana stopped smiling, but her eyes were fixed on those two. She did not expect Andrea to come

with Leopoldo.

"So Leopoldo wants to take Andrea here, to introduce her mother's old friend to the person he likes,

right?" Such a thought was like a thorn stuck hard in Mariana's heart, making her also breathe sharply

at once.

After repressing the emotions in her heart, Mariana averted her eyes and walked calmly to a corner.

However, Mariana did not realize that Leopoldo was looking at her and he hid the many emotions in his

eyes. Next to him, Andrea was hugging Leopoldo intimately, smiling and looking at him, her face was

charming and touching.

-Leo, I have long wanted to meet a legendary woman like Mrs. Perez, I never thought that today you

are helping me to make my wish come true.

But Leopoldo said nothing, he didn't even look at Andrea, not in the least moved by the lovely woman

next to him.

However, Andrea was not discouraged, she kept smiling and leaned against Leopoldo's side, but a

sinister intention quickly occurred to her. Her eyes had been fixed on Leopoldo and, naturally, she had

noticed that he had slightly diverted his gaze, in that direction, towards a woman who had just entered.

Mariana.

more was the attention Leopoldo paid to that slut. "I'm Leopoldo's only woman!"

Andrea's slender white fingers holding the cup tightened, but she remained calm and gentle.

After walking through the banquet, Mariana lost interest. Men and women in high-class dresses held

tall glasses in their hands, coming and going, laughing and joking with the newly acquainted, very

animated.

"But this kind of happiness does not belong to me."

Mariana approached the buffet, simply grabbed some food and walked to the corner, tasting it slowly.

Mariana wore a long red dress, highlighting her perfect figure, her long inky black hair was slightly

curled and hung over her shoulders, making her shoulders look slimmer and her neck slender.

The beautiful scene caught the attention of a man, whose eyes were instantly eager and he took a big

step towards Mariana.

Suddenly, Mariana felt someone sit next to her and smelled a masculine tobacco odor. The smell made

her feel very uncomfortable.

At that moment, Mariana could not frown, now she knew how good Leo's body smelled. It was very

different from the others.

-Miss, why are you here alone?

Mariana turned away silently, without answering.

The man was not discouraged and again moved insistently to Mariana's side, whereupon the

uncomfortable smell reappeared.

-Miss, may I have the honor of asking you to dance?

When the man spoke, his body could not help but lean forward knowingly, and his disgusting breath

seemed to fall on Mariana's ears.

-Sir, I don't know how to dance," Mariana rejected him outright.

-How is it possible that a woman as beautiful as you don't know how to dance? You must be lying, you

probably don't know who I am.

The next moment, the man gave Mariana a business card:

-My name is Alejandro Torres, the CEO of the Torres Group, you must have heard about this.

Mariana looked at the business card quickly, and the words Alejandro Torres were printed in front of her

eyes.

Of course, Mariana had heard this, the Torres Group produced mainly steel, the business was very big,

but its CEO was a playboy. She had not expected to meet him here today, and Mariana furrowed her

eyebrows slightly, she did not want to meet such a person.

-So, can you dance now? the words were full of self-congratulation, as well as the contempt that lurked

in the background.

-I'm sorry, Mr. Torres, I don't know how to dance.

Mariana turned him down again and the cold tone did not change because of who the man was.

The man looked at Mariana's back with a cruel coldness, like a viper watching its prey in the shadows,

waiting for the opportunity to strike a blow that would kill her, even to death.

He had never been rejected by a woman.
