Chapter 99: She Was An Unfaithful Woman
Chapter 99: She was an unfaithful woman
Ana approached Mariana and spoke,
-Mari, why do you love Mr. Durán, when you have such a handsome and rich man like Xavier by your side! -Although, he is handsome and rich, and he is the prince charming for many girls, but, I think Xavier is better!
Mariana smiled, not knowing what to do. How could two such people belong to her?
Ana was about to say something else when a sweet voice suddenly sounded from the stage.
The two had to stop talking and looked up to see a lady in a sexy dress and delicate makeup holding a microphone and introducing the investment conference with a smile. -Ladies and gentlemen, today is the launch of Emperatriz Santa and we are delighted that Mr. Durán has been here.
The applause was so loud, the fat man was so excited.
However, Leopoldo remained in his seat, indifferent.
The presenter had a moment of embarrassment, but in an instant she was smiling again and spoke again:
-Let's invite our director and Xavier, who plays the male lead, and Miss Andrea, who plays the female lead, to the stage!
He immediately burst into applause.
Mariana looked at the man and woman standing on the stage, and Xavier and Andrea's world was different, they belonged to the lights, to a much higher and dreamy stage. She, on the other hand, was behind the scenes.
-Well, this is an investment release, it is sure to bring the sincerity of our Holy Empress team, the director has edited a version of the trailer so far not aired, so please watch the screen.
The presenter said to the director, Xavier and Andrea as she looked at the large screen behind them.
Andrea, looked at Mariana, and what she did not expect was that Leopoldo would also be at today's investment event.
So he would be the first one to see what was going to happen next, right? Andrea found that very interesting.
The large screen gradually lit up, but the next moment, the images on the screen caused the crowd of journalists to erupt. The room suddenly became chaos, with flickering lights flashing in front of them. -Mari, how can this be?
Ana's voice, very surprised, and Mariana looked at the screen.
Was it her?
It was a shot of her talking and laughing with some of her male colleagues from the wardrobe crew. Then there was a shift to a scene at the entrance of the salon where Luis was handing her fruit. The angle of the shot was a bit tricky, to make it look like she was holding hands with Luis.
What Mariana didn't expect was that the final image on the screen would be of her and Xavier walking down the hallway. There was an image of Xavier looking at her, both with a slight smile on his face. Mariana stood up, trembling all over her body.
At that moment, he was still putting up the photos and the lights came on immediately. When he opened his eyes again, it was the microphones and the exciting journalists.
-Miss Ortiz, do you have something to explain? You seem to be sweethearts, are you in love?
-Miss Ortiz, as the production designer, you were involved in the Facebook incident some time ago, but you didn't leave the production, is it because of Xavier?
-Miss Ortiz, please answer our question positively, can you lead the wardrobe team, is it because you have the support of the main character of this drama?
The voices fell noisily on her ears, causing Mariana's mind to cloud a little, her gaze was slightly dazed.
The microphone stretched forward as if it was about to prick him in the face, the reporters were mad as if he knew some secret.
At that moment, Ana suddenly stepped forward and stopped Mariana in front of her, hugging her tightly with her arms outstretched and talking:
-What are you doing here? Today is the launch of Empress Santa's investment, it's not about Mariana, please go back to the subject, this is just a personal and private matter, it's not necessary to explain it to everyone....
However, his words were violently interrupted the next moment by a reporter:
-How can it be a personal affair? The video shows that designer Ortiz seems to be unfaithful between relationships, and that one of the men is, Xavier! I think Xavier would also want to know what the answer to that question is.
The journalist's words seemed to be phrased in advance, aggressively forcing her to respond.
Suddenly, her wrist was gripped by someone's hand, with warmth settling on her skin and then instantly transferring to her heart.
She was forced to turn around, moving forward with the man.
