Chapter 35: Out Of Your Control

Chapter 35: Out of your control

-Mr. Durán, if there is nothing else, I will leave first," the assistant looked carefully at the boss's

expression and said respectfully.

-Good.

Hearing this, the assistant turned and left the office.

The man rose from his office chair and walked to the brightly lit windows, with the endless flow of traffic

beneath the building.

Leopoldo looked at the crowded traffic below for a while, and calmed down a bit.

However, at this moment, it was as if something had spread from his heart and out of his control.

On set.

Ana held Mariana's hands with tearful eyes, which were full of compassion and sorrow. She bit her

lower lip slightly, and wanted to say something to comfort her best friend, but in the end she could not

utter a single word.

-Don't worry. That slap didn't hit me, and I'm just fine.

Mariana paused and said with some helplessness:

-But I am very sorry for having caused Mr. Bolaño any inconvenience.

He turned his head to look at Xavier, who was rehearsing a scene with Andrea, with gratitude and

some concern on his face.

Because of him, maybe Andrea would get along badly with Xavier. Maybe on the surface she wouldn't

dare to do anything to him, but according to her spoiled character, she surely wouldn't easily pass up

any opportunity that could ridicule Xavier.

-Mari, don't worry. Xavier Bolaño is at least the best actor on this set, that Andrea wouldn't dare do

anything to him! You'd better worry about yourself first, now you've had a fight with her, and she's the

lead actress in this movie! Ouch!

At the mention of this, Ana furrowed her eyebrows a little, and sighed heavily, as if she had come

across a big puzzle.

-Well, don't think about it so much, there will always be a solution," Mariana leaned forward and gently

brushed the tip of Ana's nose, showing a slight smile.

Suddenly, there was a piercing sound of the fabric tearing, followed by an anxious scream:

-Mariana! Come here right now.

Raising her head, Mariana looked in the direction of the voice, but was met with a smug look.

At that moment, Andrea was looking at her with her arms closed over her chest, her eyes full of

contempt and mockery.

Sighing quietly, Mariana stood up, patted Ana's shoulder, who was pulling her quietly, smiled and

walked slowly towards Andrea.

-What's wrong?

But Andrea only gave a derisive snort, and with her slender hand Andrea pinched a corner of the hem

of her own dress. Her movement was full of contempt.

-The dress looks good, but the quality is so bad! How come the dress split when I just took a big step?

Mariana frowned slightly and ignored Mariana's provocation, lifted a corner of the dress and checked it

briefly before saying:

-Miss Solis, I don't think this fabric can be torn so easily, can it? Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

For the first time, Mariana's gaze towards Andrea carried some uncontrollable distaste, and Mariana

stared directly at her without any intention of dodging.

Predictably, that look pierced Andrea's lofty self-esteem, and she narrowed her eyes slightly and

clenched her hands to resist the fury.

-You mean I slandered you?! -Andrea asked angrily.

Hearing this, Mariana smiled slightly and did not argue with her, bending down slightly to pick up the

piece of cloth that had been torn on the floor.

Mariana's calm posture made Andrea seem even more irrational and uneducated.

Xavier, who had said nothing, watched the discussion between the two women with interest, but his

glance at Andrea contained some mockery.

-The cracks in this fabric are neat, not that it has cracked due to quality problems. It is more likely to

have been cut with a knife.

This statement came as a great surprise to the crowd.

The people of the being could not help but stare at the shredded fabric in amazement, and the scene

was silent for a moment.

The director's gaze wandered back and forth between Mariana and Andrea, finally he sighed softly,

reached over to take the tattered cloth from Mariana's hand and said aloud:

-If everyone doesn't stop arguing about it, we won't be able to continue filming!

The director's voice was loud and clear, and everyone present heard it.

Andrea's face, which had been somewhat rigid, quickly returned to normal, and she shot a fierce look

at Mariana, letting out a cold laugh as she turned and walked away disdainfully.

"And what if the others guess that I'm the one doing the dirty ploy? I'm the lead actress! Would the

director offend me for a petty costume designer?"

"How ridiculous!"

Looking at Andrea's haughty back, the director sighed secretly and looked at Mariana with some

apology in his eyes, but finally ordered in a deep voice:

-This matter is over, I'll have someone send you the clothes later, and you take care of the repair.

Mariana nodded her head.

-Mari, it's clearly that Andrea....

Mariana interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.

-Well, that's enough.

Even if she knew the truth, what could she do?

Mariana returned to the dressing room with heavy steps and began to think about how to modify the

dress that had been vandalized.

However, the matter did not end so easily.

Since then, Andrea would pick on her, intentionally or not, whether it was because her dress was torn,

her hair was covering her eyes or she had lost the hairpin that matched her dress.

Every day, Mariana walked the set, working tirelessly to satisfy Andrea's inordinate requests, as if she

didn't feel the fatigue.

Finally, one day, the hard work brought her down.

-Mari, that Andrea is really hateful, he really thinks of all kinds of ways to create different difficulties for

you every day. I really don't know... -Ana complained to the side.

Before she could finish her sentence, Mariana, who was still cutting the clothes, suddenly fell towards

her.

The terrified Ana rushed to hold Mariana, who was already leaning on her, and asked terrified:

-Mari, are you all right?

The woman lying in his arms was pale and breathing heavily, looking very uncomfortable.

Ana reached out to touch his forehead and discovered that his forehead was very warm.

-Mari, you have a fever! I'm taking you to the hospital right away.

Ana was about to move when she was gently pulled. The very nervous Ana stopped suddenly, not

daring to move.

-These days the progress of the team was already delayed because of the suit problem, what will

happen to the next job if I go to the hospital at this time?

Mariana exhaled with a hot breath as she spoke, but with a firm attitude, and her body was even more

like a burning, smoking furnace from the fever.

-What nonsense are you talking? Now you have a high fever.

-I can take some pills to reduce the fever and I'll lie down for a while. I'm fine," Mariana paused, licked

her slightly dry lips and directed the words weakly. Help me get some rest on the side.

Ana could do nothing and had to hold her to the side to rest.

She was well aware of this woman's stubbornness.
