Please behave My Lord

Chapter 49: Bitterness

That day, Mariana was looking through the various video discs and related books in her small studio, hoping to get some inspiration from them, but it didn't work out as she had hoped.

Just as she was getting worried, her cell phone rang abruptly in the quiet room, causing Mariana to startle.

Giving up searching, he slowly walked over to the desk, picked up his cell phone and frowned slightly, looking at the unfamiliar number flashing on the screen. After a bit of silence, he finally opted to answer it, -Yes? Tell me.

A smile came from the other side, with a slight sense of familiarity, causing an image to appear in Mariana's mind, and at this moment, it was as if a pair of beautiful eyes emerged.

-Xavier.

-It's me.

A quick affirmative word came from the other end of the phone, he was slightly surprised.

-I really didn't think you were already so familiar with my voice that you could accurately guess who I am with just a little laugh.... It's a real honor for me.

The flirtatious voice entered her ears clearly, Mariana frowned.

After a brief silence, it was Xavier who took the initiative to speak, with a tentative sense:

-Are you all right?

The greeting was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, sending ripples. Hearing it, Mariana shuddered a little and subconsciously bit her lips.

"It must be that Xavier has already known about such things."

It was also true that this issue had made it to the top of the search engines and the headlines of all the major websites, so everyone on the set already knew about it. She was the only one still fooling herself and others.

Mariana gave a bitter smile.

But the next words on the other end of the phone startled her.

-The hot search has already been withdrawn.

-Although there are a lot of people on the Internet, Internet users have a limited memory, and it won't be long before everyone forgets this.

The tone that had been playful inexplicably brought a comforting meaning, soft and warm, like a seed that could not help but sprout deep in her heart and grow a gigantic tree. A few thoughts suddenly flashed through Mariana's mind, so quickly and fleetingly that she couldn't catch them in time.

But in the next instant, he was surprised.

Her delicate fingers gripped the phone tightly, her knuckles even whitening slightly from the force.

The hot search had been withdrawn.

"Who has helped me eliminate this hot quest, could it be..... Xavier?"

The moment this thought arose, it made Mariana's heart flutter.

"I don't want to be beholden to anyone else."

I was about to hesitate to ask this question when Xavier, on the other end of the phone, spoke again in a low voice, proposing:

-I heard that the museum recently held an antique costume exhibition, with all kinds of antique costume designs, and several nationally renowned masters also have their works on display. -Would you like to go take a look?

Doubts aside, Mariana was about to refuse, but then she saw the discarded designs in disarray on the table.

At the end, he nodded his head and spoke lightly:

-Okay.

During this period of time, I had wanted to design costumes that would fit the plot of the play as soon as possible.

But since the design concepts of the two previous suits had always been in his mind and lingered. His future designs were still more or less influenced by the design concepts of those two suits, and he could not get rid of them.

Therefore, there were not many different and original details in the current design, which made Mariana feel very distressed.

"Now that I have the opportunity to see the extraordinary designs of other masters of antique costume, it may help me create the costumes later."

"The set is now facing a difficult situation, so I have to rise to the occasion and solve the costume problem as soon as possible to live up to everyone's expectations."

After hanging up the phone, the two agreed to meet at the entrance of the art museum.

When Mariana arrived, she could not help but be surprised by the scene before her.

At that time, there was still more than half an hour before the opening, but there was a long queue, which showed the large number of people.

Seeing such a large number of visitors, Mariana was uneasy.

After all, Xavier was the nationally renowned Best Actor with a huge fan base, so if he suddenly appeared in public like this, it would definitely cause chaos on the scene.

While Mariana was thinking about it, her left shoulder was suddenly touched by someone. She turned around and saw a heavily covered face.

A black cap, big black sunglasses, a black mask and even a black jacket with black jeans underneath.

Looking at Xavier, who was dressed like that, Mariana was very surprised and gave him a smile. She couldn't help but tease:

-I'm afraid your appearance is more striking now.

Xavier's long fingers gently removed the sunglasses, revealing those lovely eyes.

-Normally, one dressed like this might be a star, but it didn't look much different in an art gallery like this, after all, we are visiting a costume exhibition, and there will be all kinds of fancy dress. Okay, time to queue up and go inside.

It was already late when they left the art museum.

The street lamps had been silently lit. A gentle breeze stirred the broken hair around Mariana's ears. She unconsciously reached out and clasped his hair behind his ear.

Xavier was fascinated by this woman.
