Chapter 137: Being Laid Off

Chapter 137: Being laid off

It all happened incredibly fast, as if it had been done in the blink of an eye. That warm breath with the faint smell of tobacco still seemed to linger in her nose, but only silence surrounded her now, and nothing else.

Looking at the woman's somewhat frail figure, Xavier sighed secretly. He stepped forward and jokingly slipped his arm around Mariana's shoulders.

-Well, now that the welcome is also over, go back to the locker room to rest.

The farce came to an end with the departure of several key players.

The director stood in place, watching the backs of those who were leaving and could not help but let out a sigh.

Finally, with a glance at the people gathered around, he spoke earnestly:

-Those who have spread gossip... are fired.

After saying that, he frowned and quickly left.

After this incident, there were no longer people in the crew who dared to gossip. Although Mariana could still feel some strange looks directed at her, full of suspicion, she lived a more comfortable and relaxed life than before.

He just didn't imagine it was all for Leopoldo's sake.

The filming was over a third of the way through and to celebrate, and as a sort of gift, Xavier, as the lead actor, asked someone to go to Starbucks to buy coffee and snacks and have the clerk send them to the set so everyone could have a good time.

This move naturally won the hearts of the crew once again.

The happiest person was Ana.

At this moment, with a caramel macchiato in one hand and a few sandwiches in the other, I enjoyed sitting down to enjoy them.

Mariana shook her head and giggled at this scene.

The two were sitting under an umbrella next to the set, eating their snacks. Because of this act by Xavier, the director freed up more than an hour for everyone to relax.

-I must say that Xavier is so rich, handsome and generous! How delicious this bread is!

Looking somewhat amused at Ana who had picked up another sandwich, Mariana spoke helplessly:

-Everyone only has one coffee and one sandwich, how come you have so many?

At this, Ana stopped her movements and approached his side, speaking mysteriously:

-Mari, don't you know, I told them it was you who wanted to eat!

When he finished, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

-He heard you liked it and told me to bring more, I'm smart, aren't I?

Mariana reached out her hand, pretending to prepare to hit it, but it felt a little weird. Frowning, she didn't want to think about it deeply.

At this moment, a girl suddenly came running up. She hurriedly placed the sandwich and coffee she had in her hands on the table, her face wrinkled in pain, clutching her stomach as she looked at Mariana and spoke shakily:

-Miss Ortiz, this is Miss Diana's coffee and snack, her assistant asked me to deliver them, but my stomach hurts a lot and I have to go to the bathroom, could you help me to deliver them? Thank you very much.

After saying that, before Mariana could respond, he turned and quickly ran away.

Seeing this, Ana got a little angry and complained:

-Mari, what is this about? Why do you have to send them to Diana? Don't do it, let them pick it up themselves.

Mariana sighed inwardly at the thought of how the girl looked. She stood up and spoke softly:

-It's okay Anita, if the snack and coffee don't arrive on time, the girl will be in trouble, I just have to bring them to her.

As he picked up the items on the table and saw Anne's still furrowed brows and anxious face, he couldn't help but smile and coax her:

-I'm going to give them to Diana and I'll be right back, don't eat my sandwiches!

At what she said, Ana glared at her, but she was still a little worried.

I always felt that something might happen.

Mariana stood outside Diana's living room, knocked on the door and heard a "come in" from inside before entering.

But as she looked up, she unexpectedly saw a man sitting cross-legged on the couch.

It was Leopoldo.

Mariana, a little surprised, lowered her eyes, hurriedly collected all the emotions in them and approached Diana sitting in front of the make-up mirror, handing her the coffee and snacks she was holding. -Here are your sandwiches and coffee, I brought them for someone else. As everyone is already here, I will leave now.

With that, she was about to turn and leave, but to her surprise, the next moment she was called by Diana.

He had to stop in his tracks.

-Mariana, have you eaten this snack?

Mariana's eyes sparkled with confusion and she turned to look at Diana, a little unsure, but she responded softly:

-Yes, it is delicious.

Their relationship did not seem to be at the point where they could talk about such tidbits.

She frowned as uneasiness grew in her mind. She hesitantly waved goodbye to them, but surprisingly, Diana ignored her and began to eat her sandwich.

She smiled softly, with an intent in her eyes that was too quick to be understood. Then she grabbed a small spoon from beside her, slowly scooped up a spoonful of the cream and popped it into her mouth.

-It melts in the mouth, the smell of milk is also very rich. Mariana, thank you.

Scowling at Diana in front of her, the confusion in Mariana's mind intensified even more.

"Why thank me when it's obvious that Xavier invites everyone over for snacks?"

The next moment, however, before she could express these doubts, Diana had already knocked over the sandwich in her hand and covered her stomach tightly, moaning in pain: -My stomach hurts.

The figure stood up suddenly and came quickly to the woman's side, his eyes full of worry and eyebrows tightly furrowed.

-Diana, what's wrong?

The woman who heard the words looked up. Her eyes were wet with tears, her face was pale and her hands covered her stomach as if the pain was unbearable.

-Leo, my stomach hurts a lot.

Leopoldo turned his head to look at the sandwich he had thrown on the floor, and suddenly his eyes fell on Mariana with an infernal coldness.

Mariana rushed to wave her hands and looked at the man in front of her who had a terribly somber, bewildered expression.

"Are you suspecting that I've done something?"

Leopoldo then pulled out his phone and made a quick call to his assistant.

-Drive the car to the front of the set.

Then he knelt down and picked up the woman curled up in the chair, looking at her pale face with some anguish and concern. A pair of otherwise cold eyes turned soft, not as fierce as they had been a while ago.

Standing frozen in place, Mariana felt a shiver run down her spine. An uneasiness was born in her heart, so great that it seemed to engulf her.

And the man who was a short distance away from her firmly carried the woman in his arms and walked away. As he passed her he did not even look at her.

Mariana didn't know what was going on, but she had a vague feeling that something was wrong and that she was caught up in it.
