Chapter 283: In Pieces
Just as she took a sip, Diana spat out all the tea she had swallowed, and her delicate features instantly
twisted.
Observing the pained expression on Diana's face, Mariana froze slightly, unable to react for a moment
to what was happening to her, and asked Diana about it.
-Miss Solis, what's wrong? Is something wrong with the tea?
-Mariana, how do you do things? Are you trying to burn me to death? Can't you even pour a cup of tea
properly? I really wonder how you got to the position of director with your skills.
Mariana's question was not a good one, and it became a punching bag for Diana, who threw the
teacup on the floor.
The teacup left Diana's hand and slid in an arc across the cold floor with a loud clatter, instantly
shattering into pieces.
Mariana was speechless.
The tea she had brought was not as hot as Diana had said, but what Mariana had not expected was
that Diana had not been content to complicate her life, but had intensified her anger.
-Do you want me to tell you how to make a new cup? Are you trying to kill me with thirst?
When Mariana said nothing, Diana became furious.
-Let's go!
Seeing that Mariana had lost the ability to move, Diana raised her slender white arm and gave Mariana
a hard shove, urging her on in a nasty way.
Mariana stumbled a little and managed to stay on her feet, preparing to stride a little harder to the table.
This time Mariana poured the tea and gently blew into the cup to make sure it was at the right
temperature, before taking it to Diana's table once more.
After picking up the teacup and taking only a sip, Diana's brow tightened again and she pushed the cup
towards Mariana, her eyes full of disgust.
-It's too cold, do it again.
Several times, Diana refused to drink Mariana's tea for various reasons, before a knock on the door
saved Mariana.
Before she could drink the tea Mariana had served her for the fifth time, Diana's attention was diverted
by the knock, and when she looked up again, she saw her assistant standing in the doorway.
-Enter.
The arrival of the assistant at that moment forced Diana to put down her teacup again and, with a slight
nod of her head, she motioned for her to come in.
With the arrival of the assistant, Diana's anger and impatience disappeared and were replaced by a
pleasant face. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
-Miss Solís, this is...
The assistant noticed the pile of glass shards scattered on the floor before approaching Diana, and
pointed to the shards, looking at Diana with a bit of confusion.
-Oh, this, after Mariana picked out my dress I said I was thirsty, but I didn't expect Mariana to serve me
tea, and I accidentally broke the cup. It's not a serious problem.
Diana laughed lightly and "explained" to her assistant, who unintentionally put all the blame on
Mariana, and the last sentence made Diana look very forgiving.
-Miss Ortiz, I hope you will be more careful next time. After all, Miss Solis has a commercial to film and
if she gets hurt, no one can pay for it.
The assistant did not doubt Diana's words, and warned Mariana.
Diana didn't think it mattered, but the assistant didn't think so. In her opinion, as a star, Diana had no
margin for error in any respect.
-Yes, I'll be careful next time.
Mariana was used to listening to Diana's comments, and had no emotions other than calm.
Mariana did not argue, she knew it was useless to argue, after all, if she kept explaining, no one would
believe her.
-Miss Solis, we have fifteen minutes before the shooting of the commercial, please come with me to the
studio.
Seeing Mariana's good attitude, the assistant did not pursue the matter and turned her attention to
Diana, telling her to follow her.
-Let's go," Diana nodded slightly to the assistant and followed him to the dressing room door.
Seeing that the figures of Diana and the assistant were about to disappear from her eyes, Mariana was
slightly relieved that, with Diana gone, there would be no chance of getting into trouble again.
As soon as Diana walked out of the dressing room door, as if remembering something, she suddenly
stopped and turned to look at Mariana.
-Well, Mariana, to keep you from getting bored in the dressing room alone, why don't you come with
me?
She said it as if asking Mariana's opinion, but Diana had already said it, so it would be a bit insensitive
for Mariana to refuse.
-All right.
Diana's words, spoken in a low voice, had shattered Mariana's illusions about what she might do in the
future, but the situation was such that she could not refuse.
-Miss Solis, this way, please.
As soon as she arrived on set, a staff member came to greet Diana.
-Mariana, please wait for me here for a while, I'll be back after the announcement.
Without giving Mariana the slightest chance to move away, before following the staff, Diana also asked
Mariana to wait where she was.
-Miss Solis is getting better and better at acting.
-No, if you ask me, whoever marries Miss Solis will be very lucky, she is not only beautiful and has a
perfect figure, but she has become famous at a young age and her family background is something
that common people would not dare to look at.
***
As the announcement was being filmed in an orderly fashion, there were many comments from the
back of the room, including praise for Diana.
Diana's ears were almost calloused from hearing these words, but the people in the background
couldn't get enough of her.
Diana smiled happily, occasionally forgetting to look at Mariana in the background.
"Mariana, I'd like to see what you can do to compete with me!"
