Chapter 89: Getting Rid Of Me

Chapter 89: Getting rid of me

Looking at the affection in Xavier's eyes, Mariana burst into tears in an instant.

Tears welled up in his eyes with overwhelming determination, as if to wash away all the injustices he

had suffered.

Xavier froze. The look in this Mariana's eyes caused a sharp tremor to his heart and then a slight pain This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

spread through his body. He leaned forward and gently embraced the woman, an embrace that was no

longer of the teasing and flirtatious nature of the past, but a more real and incredibly tender warmth.

It took Mariana a long time to regain her composure. She raised her eyes with a slight sob and looked

at Xavier. Her face turned red and she whispered in a hoarse voice:

-Thank you.

"Thank you for making me feel like I'm not an outcast."

Finding herself again, Mariana returned the determination in her eyes. No matter what the future held

for her, she would have to be strong to cope. Only she hadn't been chosen yet, not that she ever would

be!

The hope that arose in his eyes in an instant burned violently, like the grass that, after a bitter winter

wind, sprouted tenaciously from the snow and one day would grow and spread throughout the land.

The two returned to the set.

-Are you all right?

Not far from the set, Xavier stood looking at the staff walking back and forth. His tone was a bit

mocking and the corners of his mouth turned up playfully.

A calm answer from Mariana rang in his ears:

-Yes.

The next moment, however, she turned to look at him.

-I'd better go first, right? And you come back later. After all, you know I have a bad reputation on the

set, if you stay with me, I'm afraid....

He could not help but lower his gaze and did not speak again.

With a smile, Xavier reached out with a hand around his shoulders and approached him with a sneer:

-What, are you trying to get rid of me? I didn't know Miss Ortiz was like that.

His words revealed a strong joke.

With that, he advanced with his arm around her, as if unaware of the stir his actions would actually

cause.

Mariana's breath caught and she turned her head to look at him stunned with wide eyes, so wide that

he seemed the only one in the world.

It turned out that it was only she who had been shy and weak, who had always paid attention to how

others saw her.

Finally, she finished sorting out her emotions and once again sketched a slight smile. All she felt was a

warmth all over her body. Reaching out, she pulled Xavier's hand away from her shoulders and said:

-Even so, you can't take advantage of me either.

After some mutual banter, Mariana flashed a bright smile and took the lead to walk to the set.

Xavier was stunned and then a chuckle escaped him. He shook his head a little helplessly before

following her.

The two just walked side by side through the crowd and thus led to a great sensation.

-Mariana is too shameless. After what she's been through, she still dares to stay with Mr. Bolaño so

openly. Does she want to get him in trouble too?

-Yes, do you think he is trying to discredit Mr. Bolaño's reputation? If this matter is known by his tens of

millions of fans? Oh my God! I don't even want to think about it!

-But don't you think that the kind and affectionate look with which Mr. Bolaño smiles at Mariana is very

beautiful? It's like a romance novel between a famous actor and an unknown designer!

All kinds of chatter filled her ears, but Mariana ignored it. She walked slowly through the crowd toward

the dressing room to say goodbye to Xavier.

-Thank you anyway.

The sincere voice in his ears let Xavier's eyes instantly turn bright. He leaned toward Mariana and

spoke with a smile:

-There's no need to thank me again. If you really want to, buy me dinner sometime.

Mariana smiled and nodded,

-So, let Mr. Bolaño give me this pleasure later.

-I wouldn't dare turn you down.

The two joked for a few more moments before Mariana returned to the locker room. As soon as she

entered, she looked at Ana sitting in a chair deep in thought, her expression one of stupefaction.

-What is it, Anita?

At the sound of his voice, Ana, who had been in a trance, stood up abruptly and looked at her with the

desire to cry. In the blink of an eye, tears came to her eyes.

-Mari, what should I do? Andrea's assistant just brought in her dress saying it's scuffed in one place.

-I thought it was unnecessary to bother you, I... repaired it. But I didn't expect it, soon after I sent it to

her, that assistant said that it could no longer be used, that it is badly repaired, Andrea broke it in a fit of

pique!

Saying Ana, aggrieved and angry at the same time, took the clothes on the table and handed them to

Mariana with an anxious expression.

-Look at him, Mari!

Frowning, Mariana unfolded the clothes in her hands to see before sighing involuntarily.

Her hem in front of her was originally embroidered with an intricate floral design, which was now torn

and scattered.

What was worse, there were several large holes around it, one of which had been carefully patched,

but that was still difficult to hide the poor condition.

As a designer, she naturally had a deep knowledge of sewing and line direction.

She could see at a glance that the suit had been damaged with malicious intent.

The tedious lines of the pattern had been forcibly trimmed to make it look so mangled and

unrecognizable.

-Mari, what should we do now? Andrea said she had a scene early in the morning. It's already in the

afternoon, it's impossible to repeat a dress as demanding as this one.

After a pause, Ana continued:

-And he said... he said that, if I couldn't do it, he was going to fire me.

Tears filled her eyes and Ana, anxious and nervous, could not help but sob.

Looking at her with some sorrow, Mariana stepped forward and hugged her gently, reassuring her in a

tender voice:

-It's all right, Anita, I'm here, I'll help you.

She knew that Andrea had done this to Ana because of her.

Suddenly Leopoldo's cold face burst back into her mind. It was certain that the reason why Andrea

treated her and those around her more harshly was nothing more than that she had the support of that

man and so could act without any scruples.

For a moment, he was more curious about this Diana that Andrea had mentioned.

-Mari, what do you think we do? This suit is already so seriously damaged, how can we remedy it?

At that, Mariana wanted to laugh and she really did.

Intimately, he pinched her red, swollen nose from crying and sighed.

-Look at you, you're crying so much that your makeup has run.

Then the consolation continued:

-I designed this dress, can't I modify it even if it breaks like this? Don't worry, tomorrow morning I will

deliver a perfect and qualified dress for you to take to Andrea.

-Really, Mari?

Ana was surprised. Her face was still a bit skeptical, tears still hung from her long eyelashes, but the

corners of her lips were already rising uncontrollably.

She stepped forward and hugged Mariana, wrapping her arms around her neck tightly and bouncing up

and down.

-Mari, thank you! You are the best.
