Chapter 31: The Boss Seems To Be Smiling!

Chapter 31: The boss seems to be smiling!

When Xavier stood up, all the crew members followed his example and stood up, toasting Mariana.

And when Andrea, who hadn't said a word from the beginning, saw that everyone was getting up, she

gritted her teeth and reluctantly got up.

Looking at Mariana, who was not far from her, hatred rose in her eyes instantly.

"Why does she always have such good luck? Why can this woman always curry favor with so many

people?"

"It's not fair!"

Obviously, she was the lead actress in the film, and should be the focus of attention. "Why do these

people only pay attention to this slut Mariana, just because of those shabby clothes?"

Andrea's hand holding the wine glass was secretly clenched tightly, and her knuckles turned pale from

the force. She looked at the smiling woman in front of her with deep hatred.

"Mariana, I won't leave you alone!"

Inside the office of Grupo Durán's president.

-Mr. Durán, the film Emperatriz Santa has already gained the recognition of the film and television

industry, and the costumes designed by the lady have earned the praise of the entire industry.

The assistant reported exactly what he had just learned.

Leopoldo looked up and looked at the assistant, somewhat distantly.

-I know.

The assistant turned and left after receiving his response.

When he left, Leopoldo put down the documents in his hands, picked up the car keys on the table and

his jacket and left the office.

When Leopoldo passed through the staff area, almost all the female employees looked at him

sideways.

-Why is the boss leaving so early today?

-How strange! It's the first time I've seen the boss leave work so early.

-The boss is so handsome, even the way he walks is so attractive....

-Did you see him? The boss looks like he's smiling!

-Am I wrong or what? The boss is really smiling!

The female employees in the office whispered warmly. Their boss hardly smiled at all. If he wasn't so

handsome, they would have thought he was facially paralyzed.

But today he had really smiled!

Besides, the boss, the workaholic, had left work early today!

Was there anything stranger than that?

After dinner, some recommended going to karaoke to entertain themselves a little more. The director

was in a good mood and agreed.

Mariana had no choice but to follow the crowd to the next location.

In the karaoke room, Andrea was singing an extremely lyrical song, and her sweet voice was slightly

muffled, it sounded to everyone's ears, which was quite pleasant.

The crowd on the couch was looking at her with a more or less envious gleam in their eyes, which

made Andrea's look at Mariana even more reckless and even a bit provocative.

Raising the glass of wine in front of her, she took a sip, blocking Andrea's uncomfortable gaze, Mariana

smiled bitterly, somewhat helplessly.

Next to her, Ana, naturally, was not used to seeing Andrea's provocative gaze, so she leaned close to

her friend and lowered her voice to complain:

-Mari, did you see how Andrea is looking at you up there? Really, those who don't know would think

she was a famous actress competing with her on the catwalk! How funny!

After saying that, Ana still felt very angry and pushed the fruit plate in front of her fiercely, as if this poor

fruit plate was that annoying Andrea!

Hearing these words, Mariana shook her head and let out a soft sigh.

She really didn't want to be the imaginary enemy of this Andrea. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Thinking about this, she raised the cup in front of her again and took a sip.

The director felt that the many female companions had already drunk too much wine at dinner, so he

ordered some fruity cocktails for them that were not too strong and relatively sweet.

When Mariana realized that she was a little dizzy, the cup in front of her was already empty.

He gently set the cup down and couldn't help but reach out to massage his temples a bit.

On stage, Andrea saw the woman who had her eyes slightly narrowed, her eyes revealing a glint of

cruelty and malice that soon disappeared.

Andrea gave a sly smile, narrowed her eyes and tilted her head to finish her red wine in the glass in

one gulp.

When she saw that Xavier was already seated next to Mariana, Andrea snorted a low laugh and

nonchalantly handed the microphone in her hand to the man next to her who was looking at her

excitedly. She then quietly stepped down from the stage, smiled shyly, picked up her bag and left the

room.

At the sink, Andrea pulled out her cell phone and dialed a number, frowned gently and spoke

somewhat delicately:

-Leo, are you still in the office?

-Our set is meeting now. I've had some wine, and my head is a little dizzy, can you come take me

home?

By this time, Leopoldo had arrived home, but the woman's upstairs bedroom was dark and silent.

The nanny spoke softly behind him:

-Sir, the lady is not back yet.

-I know.

Without an affirmative answer, Andrea, pursed her lips and joked with a seemingly carefree laugh:

-Leo, don't you know that this party is for Mariana, those costumes are really well designed, even I

think they are very nice! Mariana is really great!

-She's the star of the party tonight, and a lot of people are toasting to her, I think she's had quite a lot to

drink. I've only had a few drinks and I'm a bit tipsy already!

Her voice was sweet and inviting, with something sexy about it.

"Mariana, you are not qualified to compete with me! If Leo sees you being in the other man's embrace,

let's see if he's still paying attention to you or not!"

The woman's eyes in front of the mirror became fierce and full of anger.

There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds before a deep voice said slowly:

-Send me the address.

Leopold turned to look at the nanny behind him, and his thin lips parted:

-Give me some medicine that can relieve the hangover.

-Yes, sir.

After saying this, the man picked up the keys and left with big steps.

At that moment, Mariana, in the private room, already realized that she had had too much to drink, and

was hesitating whether to leave earlier, when a light masculine fragrance came from her side.

This aroma?

It was Xavier Bolaño.

Indeed, the next moment the male voice rang in his ears.

-Señorita Ortiz, you really are an interesting person. Andrea is singing up there, and the people on the

set flatter her superficially, but Miss Ortiz sits off to the side and keeps her head down.

The unmistakable masculine scent enveloped Mariana's nose, making her body seem even hotter and

more restless, with a thin sweat pouring down her forehead.

In fact, the air conditioning temperature in the private room was set very low, so you should not feel hot.

After not receiving an answer for a long time, Xavier looked at the top of the woman's head with a smile

and shook his head gently.

"This woman is really reserved and discreet."

He was about to get up and leave when a gentle hand reached out and grabbed his sleeve, gripping it

tightly with no intention of letting go.

The mysterious smile on Xavier's face slowly tightened and, after a pause, did not go away after all.

-Take me," the woman's voice came out a blur, and wasn't very noticeable under the loud music in the

room, but Xavier still heard her clearly, which made him furrow both eyebrows.

Mariana's body was getting hotter and hotter, and she knew she must have eaten something by

mistake. Or was it the fault of the cocktail she had just drunk...?

That feeling was kind of strange, but it made her panic even more.
