Chapter 48: Planned for the long term

-Mari, I will always be on your side," Anna said firmly.

Stroking Ana's hand, Mariana smiled,

-I know.

"I've always known that."

At the Office of the President of Grupo Durán.

Lionel stood in front of the door, hesitant.

It seemed that as soon as he came across the matter of Mrs. Ortiz, he just had to hesitate in front of

the door whether he should go in and tell the boss or not.

"Lately, the boss hasn't been in a good mood, and since he found Mrs. Ortiz at the tavern, he's been in

a good mood."

"But I have not thought that, after a single day, he would be back to his cold, unfeeling self, with eyes

so cold that they gave him the shivers."

Thinking about what had happened to him this time, Lionel couldn't help but look sad.

"But with only Ms. Ortiz's own skills, there was no telling whether the matter could be successfully

resolved."

Finally, after much deliberation, Lionel gritted his teeth and pushed open the office door and entered.

He looked warily at the boss behind the desk and said:

-Mr. Durán, Mrs. Durán recently...

-There is no need to inform me about your affairs from now on.

Before he could finish his words he was interrupted by Leopold coldly, in an instant it was as if the

temperature in the office had dropped several degrees. Lionel couldn't help a shiver, looking sad,

hesitating in his place, still he couldn't help trying to speak again:

-Mr. Durán, this time, Mrs....

The man threw on the table, with evident impatience.

Not daring to linger any longer, Lionel spoke quickly:

-Then I'll leave first.

The room returned to calm and silence.

The first thing that came to Mariana's mind was to go find the Facebook account that leaked the

costume in person.

"If I can find him and ask him to declare on Facebook that he is not the costume designer on the set,

then everything will be solved, right? But where do I find this person?"

Mariana went to the security room and looked at the surveillance, but everything was completely black,

so she couldn't see anything at all, while the detail photos taken on Facebook were well lit.

So, obviously, surveillance was replaced.

"This method does not work."

After a day with no results, Mariana returned home exhausted, slumped on the couch.

"The mystery person was coming for me?"

The soft sound of slippers on the wooden floor echoed in her ears. Mariana reached up and rubbed her

forehead.

"It's Leopoldo!"

In the next instant, Mariana sat upright, knees together, hands on her knees, sitting upright.

-Sir, ma'am, it's time to eat.

Hearing this, Leopoldo turned around and went to sit at the table. After a while, Mariana got up and

came over, taking a seat next to him.

After serving the last dish, the nanny looked at Mariana, unable to help but frown slightly, a little

worried.

-Ma'am, you don't look well today, shall I fix you something light?

Leopoldo looked at the woman next to him without moving and they lowered their heads again.

-Don't bother, I'll be fine after a break.

Mariana smiled at the nanny.

With no choice, the nanny could only nod and walk away.

After dinner, Mariana did not rest, but returned to her small study and continued to study the

information related to the Holy Empress.

One of the measures to reduce the damage to the film would probably be to redesign a completely

different costume that would still fit the plot.

"This has to go against my last idea. It's going to be very difficult."

Mariana began to draw, leaving several strokes, which were erased the next moment.

With her eyebrows furrowed in annoyance as she looked at everything in front of her, Mariana felt a This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

deep sense of frustration overwhelm her.

Burying her face in his arm, the emotions that had been deep inside all day just exploded into silence.

"It's temporary, everything will be fine."

And at that moment, in the next room, Leopoldo was holding his phone, listening intently to Lionel's

report.

-The lady has assured the set that she will give them an explanation, but the situation is not very

promising. The images are spreading rapidly on the Internet and are having a great impact.

Lionel felt helpless on this end of the phone.

When he had reported to the boss during the day, he had said he would not report on his wife's affairs,

but after a few hours, he called him. And the fact that the change was made by someone as decisive

as the boss left him heartbroken.

Naturally, Lionel did not dare complain to his boss about these words.

-Find out who is the owner of the Facebook account.

Leopoldo ordered in a serious tone.

-Yes.

When he hung up the phone, the long figure was still standing in front of the window, his eyes as deep

and dark as the night outside. The cigarette in Leopoldo's hand had burned out, leaving the smell of

tobacco in the air.

After a sleepless night, Mariana's wrists ached.

He put the design away, walked out of the small studio, went to the kitchen, poured himself a glass of

water and drank it all, before regaining some sanity.

After the incident, the director did not allow her to return to the set. Mariana, naturally, had no problem

with that. After all, almost all Internet users are following this story.

At first, the dresses made Empress Santa a trend all over the Internet, but now all this fervor has made

it impossible to shoot the drama, also because of the costume design.

The one-night effort did not go very well and these designs were really mediocre. If these could not

reach a splendid level, it would have been better to use conventional dresses.

Sitting on the couch in dismay, Mariana had no idea.

In the Office of the President of Grupo Durán.

Lionel put the stack of information in his hand in front of the boss and said:

-These are some details about the Facebook blogger Diario de Mariana, this account used to belong to

a clothing designer and has been registered for a long time, so, relatively, the public finds it very

credible.

After a pause, he continued:

-But it was only recently that she started posting frequently about the Holy Empress set, so you can

imagine that everything was planned for the long term.

"And, obviously, not for the sake of the set, but solely for.... Mariana."

Glancing at the information on the table, Leopoldo folded his hands and leaned slightly on the back of

the chair. If someone on the set had such an ability and was in conflict with Mariana, then this person

would be the most suspicious.

-Block the hot search first," Leopoldo ordered.

Lionel nodded his head.

"If they let things go on like this, there's no telling what will happen next! "

After Lionel left, Leopold looked at the papers in front of him, his cold face frightening.

"You can't let more people know about this issue."
