Chapter 318: Faintness

Chapter 318: Faintness

Leopoldo's eyes became more dangerous.

-Don't bother, I'm always around too.

-Enough, I'm going to rest a bit, you come back," Mariana interrupted the two men in a hurry.

Mariana did not return this last comment for fear of provoking a war, and gestured to Ana.

Ana snorted and took Xavier away.

Once they left, the room was silent for a while and Leopoldo, who had been in a bad mood because of Xavier, knew it was not right for him to be like that in Mariana's room and, rubbing his brow, said: -Sorry, I was angry before.

Mariana blinked for a moment. It was clear that she had taken the incident to heart.

-How do you feel? -Leopoldo asked with concern as he pulled out a stool and sat down across from Mariana.

-Better than at the beginning," answered Mariana.

The two did not talk much before the doctor came in to see them with the chart.

The doctor briefly asked Mariana some basic information and checked her physical condition, and said:

-Nothing serious.

-What made her do that? -Leopoldo asked.

-The fainting was caused by overwork. Young people today work under a lot of pressure, so this kind of thing is common. There is no need to be so busy, proper rest will help your health," said the doctor. -Good," Mariana nodded, "So when can I be discharged?

-You can leave when the fluid is finished. Rest well now.

Mariana nodded.

-Yes, thank you, doctor.

Leopoldo looked at the three remaining bottles of drops, then looked at Mariana and asked her:

-Do you want to lie down or sit up?

-To lie down first.

-Fine.

Leopoldo helped Mariana lie down and she looked up at the ceiling.

The two were quiet for a while and the atmosphere was a little uncomfortable.

Mariana moved a little and Leopoldo asked:

-What's wrong?

-I want to drink some water.

Mariana sat down.

-I'll pour it for you.

Leopoldo poured a glass of water for Mariana, who felt a little uncomfortable with Leopoldo's sudden kindness.

Leopoldo saw her discomfort and said to her:

-I spoke a little harshly before.

-It's nothing," said Mariana.

-Don't get so close to him in the future.

Leopoldo's voice was soft and a little jealous. He was no longer as dominant as before.

Mariana's eyes sparkled slightly at these words, and her heart fluttered.

The atmosphere in the room warmed and the two stood there until Mariana finished her dripping. Then Leopoldo took Mariana and left the hospital. Mariana opened her eyes slowly, yesterday had been the best night's sleep she had ever had.

Unbeknownst to Mariana, the rumors about her fainting were getting worse and worse, and there were even rumors that Mariana had died. There were also rumors that Mariana was faking her fainting.

Mariana knew nothing of this.

She picked up her cell phone, and muttered:

-I wonder what's in store for me today.

As soon as Mariana turned on her phone, all the news and tweets were talking about her fainting yesterday.

-What's going on, I wake up from a sleepless night and so many people say I'm dead?

Mariana shook her head helplessly, and not knowing if she should keep reading.

They were saying that she had had cancer for a long time, and that now it was terminal cancer and that was why she had fainted.

This made Mariana laugh and cry.

Public opinion was more powerful than she could have imagined.

Mariana quietly opened her account and posted a message.

-Thank you all for your concern, I just fainted from too much workload. I'll be taking a good rest, so no need to worry. Staying up all night really does cause sudden death. After posting the text, Mariana put the phone aside and gently rubbed her head.

"Why does it still hurt so much?"

Thinking about what had happened yesterday, Mariana was speechless, and at the same time, her phone started ringing again.

Mariana picked up her phone, which was full of people commenting.

This time, Mariana had decided that she would have to take more time off. Otherwise, she would have died somehow.

Seeing those people joking inside her account, she suddenly got a notification.

Mariana couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"What is this, two cruise tickets?"

Mariana didn't understand what was going on today, first the news said she was dying and now she was receiving two cruise tickets. Was this still the capitalist company she knew? Mariana could not believe that the company had given her two cruise tickets.

"Does this mean the company has finally found its conscience?"

-It's rare for a company to be so generous, but the Super Design contest? -said Mariana, with some hesitation and apprehension.

Just as Mariana was about to get up, the manager sent her another message.

-Two cruise tickets for you to take a break and go on vacation.

-Manager, aren't you kidding me? Is this for real?

-Of course it's true. The company sees that you are overworked, and since you are the best employee in our company, a proper rest is necessary for you," the manager quickly replied. Mariana felt her head spinning and took the message in stride, going back and forth a couple of times to confirm that the message was real.

It seemed to her that today was too fantastic a day.

But then Mariana hesitated. If she went on vacation, she would miss the design contest, so Mariana reluctantly called her manager.

-Hello? Manager, it's me, Mariana.

-Oh! Is something wrong?

The person on the other end of the line sounded busy.

-Manager, didn't the company tell me to go on vacation these last few days? But I remembered that I have to participate in a design contest, so I guess the vacation is going to be a bust. Mariana's words were full of helplessness.

The manager was surprised for a moment, then smiled.

-You don't know?

-Know what?

Mariana had just gotten up and had no idea what was going on outside.

The manager laughed.

-The eighth edition of that contest is postponed!

"What, the design contest is postponed? That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?"

-Are you telling the truth? -Mariana was still incredulous at this point.

-Of course. The contest has been postponed for a week so that it doesn't clash at all with your cruise vacation. I have things to do, so I'm not talking to you anymore.

At that moment, Mariana blinked, and the director hurried to hang up the phone.
