Chapter 96: Nothing can be done
With a smile, Mariana looked at him, who was standing in front of her with his arms crossed, and spoke in a low voice:
-This is my job.
-What? You work because? -a smile emerged and he took a step closer to Mariana-am I here?
He was such an attractive man. Even Mariana couldn't help but look into his eyes, and then she felt a little helpless:
-Don't be ridiculous.
With that, he passed Xavier and left.
And, naturally, the man didn't let her go so easily, walking beside her, still looking cynical:
-Is that man in a bad mood these days?
Apparently, Xavier was such a proud man but now he spoke to comfort her.
-Xavier, you don't have to tell me this.
Immediately, laughter rang in his ears,
-Mariana, what were you thinking, that such words have moved you?
-How is this possible?
With these words, Mariana continued on her way.
The man behind her had stopped smiling and his gaze fell on the slender, smooth figure with many emotions, taking a long time to calm down. After spending the whole morning in the dressing room, Mariana was almost exhausted.
It was lunchtime.
But Mariana waited for a long time without anyone bringing her food.
Normally, she would have eaten lunch by this time, but now Ana screamed:
-I'm starving.
But the crew was still missing.
Mariana glanced at Ana, who was lying on the sofa, and had to get up and leave the dressing room.
As she passed by the set, an angry voice made Mariana stop.
The man who usually served her food stood listening, hands clasped in frustration and even trembling slightly in fear.
And it was Andrea standing in front of him, shouting angrily and making sarcastic comments:
-What? How dare you bring me that pig food? -Do you want to keep working on the set or not?
Looking at the set member who kept apologizing, Andrea's eyes were full of contempt.
She had called Leopoldo from time to time during this period, but, each time, Lionel had blocked her, not once did Leopoldo return her calls.
It was evident that Leopoldo did not want to see her.
This infuriated her, but she could do nothing, and had no choice but to keep her anger bottled up, and this worker was right in her crosshairs, naturally she had to vent her anger on him. The entire set remained silent, not daring to say a word, although some looked up from time to time.
They saw the trembling person and felt sympathy for it, but because Andrea was so dominant, they had to keep their mouths shut to protect themselves.
After all, the lead actress in Emperatriz Santa was chosen by Grupo Durán, and even the director used to respect Andrea and would not easily blame her.
-He is unlucky, Andrea has been in a bad mood the last few days.
-Yes, I don't know what's wrong, Andrea is always angry lately, she doesn't like anyone.
-I didn't go over to hand her a bottle of water, and she was upset and yelled at me.
The whispering continued, but by then Mariana could no longer hear them and walked towards her.
At that moment, the whole set, who were still chatting, looked at her with surprised, mocking or frightened eyes.
It seemed incomprehensible and unbelievable that Mariana had taken the initiative to approach Andrea under those circumstances.
The scene was silent for a moment.
-Luis, the director said that another lunch ration is needed, it seems that some boss has come and wants to invest in the team, let you send it quickly, do not delay. Mariana did not look at Andrea, but her gaze fell on the trembling Luis.
At the sound of the voice, Luis raised his head with eyes full of confusion and looked at Mariana, whose face was calm. Then he looked at Andrea, who was furious, and shook his head very gently at Mariana. Mariana understood that Luis wanted her to leave quickly so as not to bother Andrea anymore.
But he did not move a step and continued to speak insistently:
-Luis, there is no time to lose on the part of the director. Luis, think about it, if you delay the director's investment because of this little matter, the director will be angry at that time, you'd better leave quickly. -What are you doing? Have you come to teach me what to do? He's just a stage assistant, and now you have to defend him. Is this set Miss Ortiz's world now? Is no one else allowed to speak? The words were wrapped in great anger.
