Chapter 128: Why are you doing this?

Then, the two moved separately.

Mariana secretly made her way to the VIP lounge.

She saw Xavier's agent. She was about to greet him when the stairwell door behind her opened unexpectedly.

The flash of cameras made Mariana close her eyes. She heard confused footsteps and felt very uneasy.

-I told you Mariana and Xavier were a couple!

-Miss Ortiz, am I here to visit Xavier Bolaño? Why are you avoiding everyone? Are you really a couple?

-You were not present when Xavier was taken to the hospital. Is it true that he was injured in an accident on the set?

The myriad of questions brought Mariana to the brink of collapse.

However, this time Leopoldo was not at his side.

Mariana did her best to calm down.

-I am also injured and have come for treatment. It's not what you think.

After saying that, Mariana wanted to leave.

However, the reporters stopped her.

In an instant, Mariana was already surrounded in the center.

-I'm just backstage. I am not the object of your entertainment. Please make way.

No one moved.

-Miss Ortiz, what are you afraid of? Is it true that you and Xavier are a couple?

Mariana looked angrily at the journalist who asked her the question.

Although it was his job, such aggressive questioning was uncomfortable.

Mariana was about to say something when her arm was suddenly pulled by someone.

She did not expect to see Xavier's agent, and was stunned.

-Come with me.

Taking advantage of the journalists' moment of bewilderment, he pulled her straight out of the crowd and into the VIP lounge.

A dozen men in black security uniforms mercilessly chased the journalists away.

Only then did the room quiet down.

When she looked up, Mariana saw Xavier lying on the bed with a pale face.

-How are you?

Frowning, the agent said impatiently:

-Didn't you see it? His back was hit by the log. Fortunately, he dodged the strongest impact...

The man lying on the bed was quiet, only the slight rise and fall of his chest indicating that he was still alive.

Mariana never thought that one day Xavier would die.

-Why did you help me?

She knew her agent didn't like it. And when the reporters showed up at first, she saw them clearly, but ignored them.

-If I hadn't, I'm afraid I would have been fired.

The mocking words made Mariana flinch and bite her lip.

-Well, since you're here. I'm going for a walk.

After saying this, he left.

Sitting next to Xavier's bed, Mariana had mixed feelings.

He muttered:

-Why are you doing this?

The next day, new gossip emerged.

However, the female protagonist was still Mariana.

The news headline read: Mariana and Xavier's romance is confirmed. A photo of the two was also included.

A little later, another account posted another story.

When Mariana went to repair the protagonist's damaged costume, she deliberately collided with the logs on the stage, causing the logs to fall. Not only did it cause Diana to be injured, but even Xavier, who went to rescue her, was seriously injured.

This news without objective evidence was retweeted by countless people.

Mariana did not hear the news, as she had arrived in the living room first thing in the morning with a large bone broth she had been stewing for a long time.

Xavier took a sip and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then, he drank a lot more soup before smiling and saying:

-So you're a good cook.

Mariana said shyly:

-I already learned to cook with my grandmother.

In fact, Zoraida had taught her a lot about cooking.

"I've prepared elaborate meals twice, but he didn't come back..."

Mariana took the porcelain bowl in Xavier's hand, picked up the thermos and poured it again.

-If you like it, drink more!

Seeing her smiling face, Xavier felt happy.

He looked down and continued to drink the soup.

When the agent came in and saw this scene, he said nothing and went back out.

It was only when dusk fell that Mariana got up and prepared to leave. Seeing how Xavier chuckled and looked at the thermos in her hand, she smiled and said: -I'll bring you the soup tomorrow.

-It's a deal then.

After saying that, Mariana left.

When the door opened again, Xavier looked at the visitor and felt very disappointed.

-Your expression of disappointment made me very sad.

Xavier laughed, but did not respond.

The agent closed the door and sat down on the couch. He took an apple from the table and peeled it.

-I remember that you don't like these tonic soups.

Leaving the magazine in his hand, Xavier looked out the window.
