Chapter 20: He Left Hugging Her

Chapter 20: He left hugging her

Not far from there, Xavier had his hands in his pockets and watched Andrea's expression before

looking with a meaningful smile where Leopoldo had left off, thinking that the matter was getting more

and more interesting.

This woman, in fact, could make Leopoldo take the initiative to embrace her.

After some time had passed, the smell of disinfectant appeared in the air.

Mariana opened her eyes with a headache and glimpsed the snow-white ceiling. The unfamiliar

surroundings confused her for a few seconds.

-Mari, don't move!

She was about to get up when suddenly someone rushed over from the side and grabbed her

shoulders to pin her down.

He looked around with a permanent discomfort in his head.

-Anita?

-Mari, you're finally awake!

Ana hurried to place the pillow for him to lean on, nervously watching his face.

-How are you feeling, are you nauseous and want to vomit? You scared me! The doctor said you hit

your head and will probably have a concussion.

-Me? I'm fine, don't worry.

-Don't try to lie to me," Ana's eyes turned red and she sobbed. The doctor told me that you fainted not

only because you hit your head, but also because you've been working too hard lately and couldn't take

much more! Why else would you have been unconscious for so long? You've been in a coma all night!

-All night?

Mariana made a slight cough and, weakly, said a comforting joke: NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

-I'm really fine. You know, I'm made of iron.

-How dare you joke! You know you almost scared me to death!

-I was wrong, uh...

Mariana squeezed her temples and pretended to be uncomfortable.

-Anita, I may have really hit my head.... Leave me alone, I'll be fine after I rest.

Naturally, he had an awareness of his own health.

It was true that he had been enduring these last few days, but he was perfectly capable of holding out

until the launch was over. However, who would have known that Andrea had set him up?

She could be sure it was Andrea who had pushed her! At the thought of that woman, she couldn't help

but let out a cold laugh.

When Ana saw that she had something wrong with her expression, she couldn't help but curse:

-It's all Andrea's fault! If that woman hadn't insisted on getting you into trouble, you wouldn't have been

so exhausted for so many days. You fainted because of her!

Exhausted?

Mariana clasped her hands, forcing herself not to say anything about it.

At that moment when his catwalk was about to end, the lights by the back of the stage were quite dim

and Andrea was very close to her when he attacked her, so no one would have noticed his actions.

I had no proof at hand, even if I said it out loud, no one would believe it, and I might even be slandered

by Andrea in turn.

-But, Mari, Mr. Durán was so great last night!

Ana smiled with joy.

-You don't know! When Mr. Durán hugged you last night, how ugly Andrea's face was! She even sat on

the floor with an innocent face and asked him not to leave, but he didn't even look at her, he left

hugging you. I was so happy to see him.

He told the story while waving his hands. Just with that exaggerated imitation of his, Mariana seemed

to be watching that good scandal last night.

-Mr. Durán?

Mariana had a moment of distraction and Leopoldo's handsome and indifferent face came to her mind.

Him? How was that possible? He wasn't with Andrea...

Before she had time to think about it any more, she felt a slight pain in her head and reached out her

index finger to gently massage her temples. This time it was real, because she still couldn't understand

why Leopoldo had helped her.

-Yes, Mr. Durán. Wow, he is so handsome, especially the moment he picked you up, like a prince

embracing his princess, it's as wonderful as a fairy tale....

Ana clasped her hands together and narrowed her eyes in adoration.

-Enough, don't exaggerate.

Mariana was used to this manner of his, but she could not help but mock it.

-I meant it. Andrea must not have expected Mr. Durán to leave her behind and come out with you in his

arms. She deserved it... Do you think he's already interested in you, Mari?

Ana joked with a laugh, blinked and raised her eyebrows as she looked at her.

-How is it possible, don't talk nonsense.

Images of that night's madness flashed through her mind and her cheeks were instantly tinged with a

flash of blush.

-Wow, Mari, you're shy. I didn't expect you to blush too. Is Mr. Durán's hug very warm? Hahaha...

-Ana Lopez, don't talk like that!
