Chapter 153: The celebration party

Just as I left the room, I heard my grandmother's greeting:

-Mari, are you awake? Are you feeling better?

Licking her lips, Mariana smiled as she spoke softly:

-Much better already.

However, his voice was hoarse and astringent due to the severe fever, and it was not very clear.

-It's time to get hungry, I've asked the kitchen to prepare many of your favorite dishes today.

The voice was loud and clear, reaching Mariana's ears, encouraging her.

Her eyes scanned the living room and there was no trace of that cold and stern figure, so Mariana was reassured.

I still didn't know how to deal with it, nor did I want to.

After returning from her grandmother's house, Mariana also stayed at the villa for a while to get better and the baby she was carrying was also healthier.

That day, Mariana got up early and, after a simple breakfast, walked around the garden.

The nanny was quick to chase her with her cell phone, and only stopped when she saw Mariana and, panting, told her:

-Madam, your cell phone has rung several times, someone must be looking for you on an urgent matter, please call quickly.

Upon receiving the phone, Mariana looked at it suspiciously and, indeed, she saw three calls from the set, as well as two calls from Ana, and was even more puzzled.

She felt a little weird, "I've been quitting for a long time, and the deputy director was calling me at this time."

After a moment's reflection, Mariana finally returned the call.

After a few moments, a laughing voice came from the other side, landing loudly in Mariana's ears.

-The deputy director has called me twice in a row, is something wrong?

-Mariana, it's for the completion of our Empress Santa set. Although you have now resigned, but as the former head of the costume team, you have also put in a lot of effort and made many contributions, so this time the director wants to summon you to the celebration party.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly and he hesitated a bit.

-Subdirector, it's better that I don't go, now I'm no longer a member of the set, so if I go like this...

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the assistant manager on the other end of the phone, even with a slight sense of reproach.

-Mariana, what kind of words are you talking about? Almost all the costume designs of the main characters on the set were made by you, without your contribution, now there wouldn't be such a perfect "Empress Santa"! The director said you must come, I'll have someone send you the entrance invitation later.

After saying that, without waiting for Mariana to say anything else, he hung up the phone directly, without giving her time to refuse.

She sighed and, before Mariana could think about it, her cell phone rang. She looked at it, it was Ana's call.

Her eyes trembling slightly, Mariana picked it up, slightly helpless.

-What is it? Why are you looking for me, Miss Lopez? You have called again and again.

Instantly, Ana's excited, high-pitched voice came from the other end of the phone.

-Mari, Mari, you must have received a call from the set, right? You're invited to the set celebration party.

Shaking her head, Mariana wanted to laugh:

-Did you call me just to tell me that the set invites me to the celebration party?

Ana did not hear the mockery in Mariana's words, but spoke smugly:

-Of course! Although it seems a bit rushed to have a celebration party right after the shooting, as soon as I heard the news, I immediately asked the director for an extra seat for you. After a pause, he continued in a mysterious tone:

-Mari, you are a great hero of our wardrobe team, we can't celebrate this party without you!

Mariana was moved:

-All right, I'll go.

-Since that's the case, make an appointment to go dress shopping together this afternoon! I haven't been taking much care of my figure lately, and I don't even have a proper gown anymore. The words fell intermittently on Mariana's ears with slight embarrassment.

-Okay, okay, I hear you on everything.

The two then agreed to go shopping together in the afternoon.

When the nanny heard such news, she naturally agreed to go, after all, it was good for Mariana's mood to relax, after all, the previous coma was also due to depression.

Just after parking the car and getting out, she hugged herself and a large impact hit Mariana, causing her body to shake slightly before she managed to stabilize herself. Ana's choked and excited voice rang in his ears,

-Mari, I miss you so much! I've been alone on the set all this time, alone, and now I finally see you, how nice!

Mariana felt a little worried as she gently pushed Ana away, her hands on her stomach, carefully protecting it.

After a few seconds' pause, he looked up and laughed:

-Don't I know you yet? There are plenty of people on this set you can talk to, you won't be alone!

The two laughed and joked as they made their way to the mall, but as they passed a mother and baby store, Mariana couldn't help but pause, eyes slightly twitching, looking at the cute little children's clothing inside, and their gazes softened a bit.

To one side, Ana looked at the mother and baby store in front of her, and then at Mariana who looked at the store in a daze, she was very confused. -Mari, what's wrong? Why don't you leave?

A trace of unnaturalness crossed Mariana's face before she spoke:

-I have a cousin who is about to give birth, since I stopped by the store today, I thought I would come in and buy some clothes to give as gifts.

At these words, Ana had not a trace of hesitation, and pulled Mariana directly towards the mother and baby store.

-If so, why do you keep stopping here?

The soft touch under her hand made the motherly love in Mariana's heart overflow and she smiled faintly.

Ana looked at Mariana thoughtfully and could not help but speak softly:

-Mari, I'm sure you will be a good mother in the future.

-Is that so?

Mariana smiled, she felt very happy.

After choosing a blue top and a little pink skirt, Mariana and Ana left the store and went to choose their dresses. When she returned to the villa, Mariana just felt very tired and collapsed on the sofa.
