Chapter 40: Pressure

Ana then looked at her with feigned seriousness until she closed her eyes, before turning to the place

where Mariana was a moment ago and continuing with what she had just done.

Her closed eyes opened again. Mariana watched her friend's busy back and a thrill rose in her heart.

Last night she didn't sleep, Xavier sat with her for a long time, and at dawn, the two arrived on set

together.

It was good to have someone she could count on.

After a short break, Mariana got up and had the suits checked, folded them neatly and took them to the

break room where Andrea was.

However, when she opened the door and raised her head, she saw the man standing next to Andrea,

Leopoldo.

In an instant, the man's cold gaze rested on her, giving her an uncomfortable pressure.

Mariana kept her composure, holding the wardrobe in her hand and placing it on the table, she

sketched a soft and gentle smile, looking directly at Andrea and saying:

-The dress is already well repaired, it has been altered, Miss Solis, you can take a look.

He paid no attention to the man's somber eyes.

Andrea looked at Leopoldo beside her, whose eyes were on Mariana, focused and serious, charged

with complex emotions that she could not understand.

Instantly resentment washed over him. She curved the corners of her mouth in a disdainful smile,

lightly picked up the suit on the table, glancing at it casually, then couldn't help but frown.

-Isn't this modification too hard? Is that what I told you last time?

Critical words were directed mercilessly from Andrea's tender lips.

A trace of dissimulation shone in Andrea's eyes, which soon disappeared.

-Or is it that Miss Ortiz thinks that with Xavier's backing, you don't even bother to do your job properly?

This sarcasm was really spicy.

The next moment, the man withdrew his gaze from Mariana, and began to play with the expensive

cufflinks encrusted with expensive emeralds. His movements were casual, but implied his only

indifference.

A trace of complacency flashed in Andrea's eyes as she cast a sidelong glance at Mariana and smiled

coldly:

-Well, Miss Ortiz doesn't want to work on the set anymore, does she?

As long as Mariana was not in charge of the wardrobe work, she would no longer have the opportunity

to see Leopoldo.

With this thought, Andrea looked at Mariana with a smile full of complacency.

-If Miss Ortiz does not want to continue with this work, I can help you talk to the director. I think with my

help the director will agree.

Andrea's tone was very condescending, as if Mariana were a beggar.

Mariana frowned slightly, looking disdainfully at Andrea, and spoke indifferently:

-Thank you, but it's not necessary. Miss Solis, I'll leave this dress here.

After a pause, he drew a smile and continued casually:

-If Miss Solis is not satisfied with the dress you can go and talk to the director. If the director asks me to

continue revising the dress according to your wishes, of course I won't refuse!

After saying that, Mariana completely ignored Andrea's angry face and turned to leave.

-A crazy woman!

Andrea pointed at Mariana's back cursing, but received no response.

The next second, she turned around and pouted at the man in a sweet tone:

-Leo, look! He's bullying me like this! Help me, please...

Mariana slammed the door behind her.

At that moment, the world seemed to be much calmer without the obnoxious voice of that Andrea.

That day passed quietly as well, Mariana shook her head, a bit helpless at her fussy mentality at the

moment with Andrea.

"Since when did I become like this?"

After picking up her things, Mariana took her bag and left the office. She had just arrived at the

entrance, a car pulled up next to her.

The car window rolled down and a handsome face peered out, and the corners of Xavier's mouth

curved upward, looking very friendly.

-Why are you here?

Hearing these words, Mariana could not help but burst out laughing.

Last night he asked the same question when he met Xavier on the street.

Thinking of the comfort Xavier had given her last night, Mariana felt a little thrill in her heart, so she

raised her head and gave Xavier a gentle smile.

-Get in, I'll take you back.

Hearing this, she frowned slightly and raised her head to look at Xavier, whose face still held a polite

smile as before.

-Thank you, but it's really not necessary, I want to go back alone -after saying that, without waiting for

Xavier to say anything else, she directly turned around and left at a fast pace, as if some demon was

chasing her from behind.

Xavier felt a little helpless, thinking that this woman was really special, but in the end, he didn't reach

out to her out of respect.

Xavier watched the slender back fade away before putting his sunglasses back on and leaving.

Actually, this scene of the two of them had already been seen by that indifferent and volatile-tempered

man.

Leopoldo stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the garbage pipe, somewhat

intimidatingly.

Leopoldo climbed into the car, leaning back in the leather seat with his eyes closed as he ordered:

-Let's go.

The assistant looked in the rearview mirror at his boss's expression and hurried to start the car and

drive away.

"How I always come across this kind of thing! How unlucky I am!"

It was already late when she arrived home, Mariana climbed the stairs silently in the dark. Soft slippers

creaked against the floor, very evident in the quiet night.

As she passed by the man's bedroom, Mariana couldn't help but stop her step. There was a faint light

filtering under the door, spreading across the floor like a scythe cutting through the darkness. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

That light also left her feeling a little nervous.

"He's still awake."

Glancing at the watch on her wrist through the dim light, she discovered that it was already half past

eleven midnight.

Suddenly, the door opened from the inside and white light spilled everywhere, enveloping Mariana's

body. The sudden bright light made her eyes squint slightly in annoyance.

Mariana slightly lowered her eyes, hiding all her emotions.

-What are you doing here?

An icy voice sounded above her head, as if it were whispers from the demons in hell, making her shiver

a little.

-I just got back," Mariana said after a while, slightly nervous.

There was silence all around him, and the only sound in his ears was his own breathing and heartbeat.

After a long silence, Mariana raised her eyes, looked at Leopoldo and said indifferently:

-I'm going to bed, good night.

After saying that, Mariana left.

-You can consider Andrea's proposal.

Mariana stopped her hand on the doorknob suddenly, and then couldn't help but squeeze it hard.

She turned around, Mariana looked directly at the man, whose figure was stretched far and wide by the

light at her back. Against the light, the man seemed more stern, inaccessible and indifferent.
