Chapter 503: The President to the Rescue
-Help, help!
Mariana could only scream for help.
When Gabriel saw the woman like this, a slight pleasure welled up in his eyes. It was exciting for him to
see how such an arrogant and domineering woman could also have a fearful side.
-Stop shouting, this is my office. No one will hear you even if you scream through your throat.
Gabriel watched the woman's figure with a slight twinge of discomfort.
-I'm sorry, you can't come in," the secretary said with difficulty as she stopped in front of Leopoldo.
-Get out of the way.
Leopoldo didn't mind and strided forward. He didn't think Gabriel's small company could do much.
"Ridiculous, just ridiculous."
The secretary could not stop him, but could only hurry to call Gabriel's office phone number first.
Gabriel's interest was interrupted by the phone call, and his eyes filled with disgust.
Finally, Gabriel opted to answer the phone.
-Hello...
-President.
The secretary's voice trembled as she watched the backs of Leopoldo's group as they advanced. If she
didn't stop these people, Gabriel would definitely blame them. But she knew Leopoldo.
She could fight tooth and nail to stop anyone, but not this man.
-What do you want?!
Gabriel heard the other party stammering, unable to spit out a single word in half a day, and his tone
was filled with impatience.
-Mr. Durán is here and is now walking to his office -the secretary hurried to speak when she saw
Leopoldo. It was unusual to see the aggressive aspect of that man.
"Leopoldo?"
Gabriel was stunned, then looked at the woman in front of him and reacted immediately. The next
second, he shoved Mariana directly with eyes full of anger.
-I almost fell for your trick.
Mariana didn't hold her ground and her whole body fell on the couch.
She didn't understand what Gabriel meant and her eyes were full of disbelief.
"What trick? I didn't do anything."
Without waiting for Mariana to think it through, the office door was pushed open.
Only when she saw that the person approaching was Leopoldo did Mariana understand what Gabriel
was referring to.
-Señor Durán, what brings you here?
Gabriel's attention was no longer on Mariana's body at this moment, and was fully focused on the
visitor. However, Leopoldo's gaze rested on Mariana's body.
Seeing Leopoldo arrive, Mariana could no longer hold back her tears.
If Leopoldo had arrived a little later, the consequences would have been truly unthinkable. Gabriel was
too despicable.
-Mariana, what happened?
When Leopoldo saw the woman cry, he was the first to rush in and ask for the cause. Anyone who
harassed her would not end well.
Gabriel tensed up when he saw her crying.
-Miss Ortiz, what is wrong with you? Why do you cry as soon as you see Mr. Durán?
Gabriel acted as if this matter had nothing to do with him and looked at Mariana with indifference.
There was no way he would allow this woman to incriminate him.
-You shut up.
Leopoldo shot him a look so Gabriel would shut his stinking mouth. He couldn't believe this man still
had the audacity to say anything when he saw someone crying like that.
Gabriel was stunned, not knowing what to say.
-I...
Gabriel looked at the woman and now he could only pray that Mariana would not tell Leopoldo. If
Leopoldo found out, he would definitely not make things easy for her.
Compared to Leopoldo, Gabriel's position was not noteworthy.
It took a lot of unseemly tactics for him to get to where he was today, so whatever the woman said, he
definitely could not lose his position just like that.
-Take me away, please," Mariana said trembling as she looked at Leopoldo.
For the first time, her need for a man was so strong. She wanted Leopoldo to take her away from this
place.
Leopoldo looked at the woman and got the general idea.
Seeing Mariana's appearance broke his heart and calmed her down. Then he took off his own jacket
and covered the woman's body with concern.
-Gabriel, I want an explanation," Leopoldo said indifferently.
Despite the flat tone, Gabriel's heart couldn't help but shudder. He knew things would not be so simple
when it came to Leopoldo.
-I... I just made a joke with Miss Ortiz," Gabriel looked at the man helplessly.
"Didn't you say that Leopoldo and Mariana are no longer close? Why does it seem that Mariana is
important to Leopoldo? It's too unusual."
Gabriel had inadvertently put his foot in his mouth.
-What kind of joke? -Leopoldo looked at the other man and asked coldly.
He was ready to stand up and teach Gabriel a lesson, but who knew that the next second, Mariana
would reach out and grab the man's sleeve.
-Leopoldo, get me out of here.
She could not have imagined that in the end she would be saved by Leopoldo.
Difficult things in his hands did not seem to be a problem for Leopoldo and his cruelty was not useless
at times. If he was too merciful, many misdeeds could be committed.
For a moment, Mariana seemed to understand everything.
-Okay, now I'll take you out," Leopoldo looked at her and said softly.
As long as she wanted to leave, he would not let her stay a moment longer. Then he would settle the
score with Gabriel.
Leopoldo approached Mariana's front and carefully lifted her up.
-Don't be afraid, I'm here," he hugged the woman and comforted her gently in her ear.
-Thank you, Leopoldo," Mariana thanked him softly, embarrassed.
In the end, it was Leopoldo who saw the ugliest side of herself. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
After receiving the location the driver had sent her, Emily had a bad feeling that something big was
about to happen. She rushed to the office in a panic, but found only the office door open.
-What happened? -Emily looked at the secretary in surprise.
"What was the reason for Leopoldo's visit, could it be that he was interested in working with the
company on some project?"
Other than this reason, Emily could not think of any other possibility at the moment.
-"Miss, he's here," the secretary looked at her and called out cautiously.
Emily shot a glance at the secretary, disbelief written in her eyes.
-What happened?
-A Miss Ortiz came, and then Mr. Durán from the Durán Group also came," the secretary slowly filled
her in on the details. What had just happened was truly shocking to the eyes.
Emily's heart skipped a beat and her eyes showed disbelief.
-Miss Ortiz?
"Who else could this Miss Ortiz be but Mariana?"
The secretary looked at Emily and nodded.
When Emily heard this, she sensed something was wrong. She hurried in the direction of the office
and, seeing Gabriel's condition, felt even more certain of her suspicions.
