Chapter 172: The Hangover

When Mariana woke up, the only thing she felt was a severe headache. She got up and rubbed her forehead hard.

She opened her eyes and looked up at the snow-white ceiling above her, only to feel dizzy for a moment. She closed her eyes, slowly sat up and opened them again before feeling better. The alarm clock went off and the world was silent again.

It was her first day at work and Mariana did not want to be late.

After quickly washing up, she went downstairs, just in time to see the maid Carmen come out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup, looking at her, she said with a smile:

-Mr. Durán asked me to prepare this for you when you left this morning, ma'am, you should drink it.

Surprised, Mariana's movement down the stairs stopped, some strange emotions were still in her heart, they were restless.

As she approached the table, Mariana looked at the soup, picked it up and took a small sip.

Carmen was happy to see Mariana drinking.

After finishing the soup, Mariana hesitated for a moment and spoke softly:

-Did I do something wrong last night? Acting drunk or something?

Carmen denied:

-I don't know anything, if you want to know, you'd better ask Mr. Durán.

After saying this, he smiled before leaving.

When she arrived at the company, the receptionist handed her her work card and led her to the design department. Then the receptionist left.

After knocking on the door and hearing a cold "pass" from inside, Mariana slowly entered.

She saw the woman sitting behind her desk with shoulder-length black hair, writing and drawing without looking at Mariana. Mariana folded her arms and did not bother her.

Only after a long while, the woman raised her head and looked coldly at Mariana.

-Sit down.

Mariana sat down on the sofa and Elisa took a seat next to her:

-We met yesterday, I'm Elisa, the design director.

A slightly low voice reached Mariana's ears, who was looking at Elisa in front of her with emotion in her heart.

Elisa was wearing an irregular suit with the tassels on the chest, a long black skirt, and a pair of nice Martin boots under her feet.

It was a perfect match.

-This is my own design, I just wear my own designs all the time.

-It's a really nice design on you, showing off the wonder of the color black.

Elisa looked at Mariana and spoke slowly:

-I didn't expect you to say that.

Before Mariana could say anything else, Elisa spoke again:

-Your office is outside, my assistant Emilia will take you there, if you need anything, you can talk to her directly, there are no new projects in the company, so you don't have to do anything for the moment, just familiarize yourself with the company's affairs.

She looked at Elisa, feeling a little strange, but nodded and said:

-Okay.

With a stack of folders from the company's previous business, Mariana followed Emilia to her workstation and sat down before leaving things in her hands.

After taking a seat, she was surprised to see a sweet-looking girl next to her, who glanced around Elisa's office, before approaching Mariana and speaking to her in a low voice:

-Your name is Mariana, isn't it? Is it the Mariana that was on the news?

The long-haired woman on the other side smiled apologetically at Mariana:

-What's the question? It's probably someone with the same name! Get on with your work.

The sweet girl gave Mariana another calm look and returned to her seat to continue her work.

She didn't want anyone to know about those past events, not even about Diana and Leopoldo because those people shone so brightly that she also had to be in the audience. Mariana sat back in her seat.

At that moment, someone suddenly handed him a drink.

It was the sweet girl who spoke in a whisper.

-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gossiped like that, sorry, it's my favorite drink, try it.

With that, he placed it on Mariana's table and then returned to his place.

Looking at the drink in front of her, Mariana smiled.

Those things would always be in the past, she had a new life, and it was good for now.

Lifting the drink in front of her and taking a soft sip, Mariana smiled.

Elisa looked at Mariana who was getting along well with the companions, and she was not very happy.
