Chapter 87: Only that person exists

-Miss Ortiz, you are very eloquent! Leo and I need to talk, so please leave us alone.

The word "let us", which she deliberately said in a low voice while also accentuating, had a tinge of smugness and smugness.

However, Mariana ignored him and turned to the man:

-At the hospital, I told you it was Andrea who did this and I heard what you just talked about. Everything that happened to me is her doing! Why do you keep defending her?

The somewhat humble words came directly to Leopold's ears, causing his eyes to widen slightly.

Then Andrea's laughter was heard and her words were also extremely sarcastic.

-Who the hell are you to comment on Leo's decision?

As if he had not heard her, Mariana looked at Leopoldo waiting for his answer and his eyes were resolute.

He and she seemed to be the only ones in the room.

-It's none of your business. You are only the head of the wardrobe team on the set, it will never be up to you to decide whether Andrea is named as the protagonist of this drama.

The unceremonious arrival of the harsh words to Mariana's ears let her heart flutter wildly. Unable to contain herself, Mariana took a few steps back before she could stop her body from trembling. -Why?

Bitter words sprang from already pale lips.

Leopold frowned as a hint of impatience crept across his face. Hands in his pockets, he simply ignored the woman and turned to leave.

For a moment, seeming as if her body had suddenly emptied of blood, Mariana became weak. She slowly bent down and clutched her knees helplessly. She was as vulnerable as if she were a newborn and abandoned in the blink of an eye.

-Why? You still don't get it?

The provocative comment burst into Mariana's ears word for word, leaving her unable to ignore it.

However deep the wounds in his heart, which were already bloody, he wanted to know exactly why.

"Why did you treat me like that?"

-Do you know a woman? A woman named Diana Solis.

The voice with a mixture of satisfaction and contempt sounded at his side, but in the end it was uncontrollably tinged with faint frustration.

Andrea looked down on Mariana with disdain in her eyes, as if she were looking at an ant that she could crush with her bare hands.

-Leo is not someone you can get, you must know who you are. How can you be worthy of someone as noble as him?

-Besides, the most important thing is that his heart already has an owner. No matter how hard you try, appearing in front of him all the time and bothering him, he still doesn't see you. There is only that person in his heart, he was, is and always will be!

The words began with a sarcastic tone, yet the closer they came to the end, the more despondent they became, wrapped in a faint sense of sadness and desolation; what sounded like a lost child, unable to replace the way forward.

Andrea looked through the window at the bright sunlight, which was as if it wasn't reaching her, not even Mariana who was on the floor.

Because they were the same type.

I had been doing the same thing for a long time before Mariana came along, but the result was nothing more than that, was it? In any case, it could not compare with the name Diana. Without paying any more attention to Mariana, Andrea closed her eyes, hiding the different emotions in them and turned around to leave.

With her head erect, Andrea looked like a haughty princess whose face had a smug look on it; the corners of her lips were curved happily as if she didn't know what it was like to be sad.

As the temperature in the room was dropping and the sun was fading into darkness, Mariana crouched on the floor in a daze sobbing for a long time. Her eyes were so uncomfortable that they could not shed any more tears.

He struggled to get to his feet, but his legs were numb from the long crouch and he almost fell to the ground.

It took her a long time to regain consciousness. Raising her eyes, Mariana cast a glance at the night sky outside. That blackness looked like Leopoldo's eyes, as if trying to invade her heart to swallow the last light.

By the time she returned to the dressing room team, the others had finished their work, leaving behind only Ana who was anxious and pacing constantly.

Seeing her enter, he pounced on Mariana and pulled her by the hand. He looked her up and down before speaking with concern:

-Mari, where the hell have you been? I've been calling you, but you didn't answer the phone and I thought something had happened to you.

Mariana looked down and opened the phone she had been unconsciously clutching in her hand, which showed dozens of missed calls, some from Ana and some from Xavier.

Mariana froze and only then remembered that she had left earlier to call Xavier.

He couldn't help but smirk bitterly and shook his head.

Ana had never seen Mariana like this; the calm, peaceful and cool woman she used to be was so unlike this somewhat disheveled and depressed person in front of her.

Ana felt anguished and hugged her, asking in a cracked, hoarse voice:

-Mari, something happened to you, didn't it? Did someone bully you? Is it Andrea?

His words showed thick concern.

Mariana's originally cold body gradually warmed up, as if there was a warm current flowing slowly to her heart. She could not help but reach out and embrace the source of the warmth. At this moment, the door behind them opened loudly and slammed against the wall with a bang.

The two embraced, astonished, turned to look to replace Xavier standing in the doorway.

For now, on his face hung a few sweats. He seemed very anxious as if he was looking for something. The next moment, his gaze fell on Mariana and only then Xavier calmed down a little. Mariana approached him and asked with some concern:

-Xavier, what's wrong?

As soon as she finished the sentence, she was forcibly pulled into a broad chest. Panting sounded around her ears, blowing the hair around her ears and generating a slight tingle, which made her shiver slightly.

She was held rigidly in the man's arms, wide-eyed and with no idea how to react.

Behind her, Ana raised her hand in surprise and covered her mouth to prevent the exclamation from sounding to avoid disturbing the two who seemed affectionate.

But surprise had taken up all his heart.

"So Mari and Xavier are really in love!"

It was a long time before Mariana gently pushed Xavier away. She looked up at him and asked in a low voice:

-Xavier, seriously, what's wrong with you?

Xavier blinked and, looking at Ana standing behind them, paused in what he was about to say.

After a long while, he spoke with a smile:

-Mariana, can you go for a walk with me?

At this moment, Anne, standing on her back, hurriedly waved her hand and urged:

-Go ahead, go ahead, don't worry about me.

Only then did Mariana nod her head in acceptance.

But after leaving the set, Xavier told Mariana to get in the car and the two drove to a small, dilapidated building on the outskirts.

Just as they were about to go upstairs, a greeting sounded behind them.
