Chapter 26: Xavier B?o
Chapter 26: Xavier B?o
Leopoldo went to her room, ced her on the bed, covered her with the nket, turned off the light and
closed the door. His movements were very smooth.
The next day, Mariana woke up after the rm clock went off.
He looked around and strained to rememberst night''s scene.
"Why am I in bed, wasn''t I in the little study?"
"Was it...?"
In her dream, it seemed that someone was gently carrying her to her room.
The person tucked her in, turned off the light and closed the door, and what happened next she did not
remember.
"Leopoldo has been here! Leopoldo came backst night!"
Finally, Mariana came to this conclusion.
She froze in bed, not knowing what to do for a moment. The unique fragrance of her body still seemed
to linger in the room.
Mariana was puzzled.
"Why is he back all of a sudden, and why is he gone again?"
This man was truly inscrutable.
Mariana shook her head helplessly, she didn''t want to think anymore, and it seemed there was no need
to think anymore. Maybe he just went back to look for something and in the process took her back to
the room.
After getting all dressed up, she hurried to the office.
He still had that energetic expression and immediately began his busy day once he arrived at the
office.
-Mari, don''t you feel tired?
Ana took a piece of chocte and gave it to Mariana, who was reading a book about design.
These days, she had been reading these thick books all day long and was always the first to arrive and
thest person to leave thepany.
Ana was really worried that she wouldn''t be able to handle so much work.
-I''m not tired. I suddenly find these antique costumes very interesting," Mariana chewed the chocte
in her mouth and answered lightly.
-Is that so? But I think these books are difficult to understand.
Ana rested a hand on the table, leaned her body slightly, and murmured in dissatisfaction.
"What kind of person is this Mari really? She thinks this boring content is interesting!"
Mariana just nced at him without saying anything else and returned to the work in hand.

A weekter, Mariana arrived on set with her group well prepared.
-Mari, who is this person? I''m familiar with his figure.
Following Ana''s line of sight, Mariana then noticed that, not far away, a long-haired woman had her
back to them and was talking about something with set employees.
"Andrea Solis?"
Mariana frowned slightly, naturally she recognized this silhouette. Wasn''t this the woman who had
given her a hard time, Andrea Solis?
"Why are you here?"
After what happenedst time, she had a very bad impression of Andrea, thinking that she only had an
angelic and beautiful appearance, but that she was actually evil and vicious inside.
-The protagonist of the film is Andrea Solís and the main protagonist is Xavier B?o. Mariana, don''t
you know?
"Andrea Solis? Xavier B?o?"
Mariana was familiar with the name Xavier B?o, the country''s most famous movie star, and had met
him at thest presentation.
He would work as the male lead in the film, so one could imagine the poprity of this film.
Shortly after the film''s director spoke, Xavier appeared.
-Hello, are you the designer Mariana Ortiz? Nice to meet you, I''m Xavier B?o.
Xavier smiled as he approached to greet Mariana. He was dressed in a formal suit, elegant and very
sexy. He had a handsome face and a pair of affectionate eyes that made a very good impression on
people.
Xavier had a very attractive smile on his lips and wore a blue earring in his left ear, exuding an elegant
aura that made women look inferior in front of him.
-Yes, it is also a pleasure to meet you, Mr. B?o.
Mariana nodded politely in response.
With mocking eyes Xavier looked her up and down and curved the corners of his lips into a gentle
smile saying:
-As expected of a designer, Miss Ortiz, you have very good taste in clothes.
Thepliment was blunt, but did not imply ttery in the least.
In response to his sudden praise, Mariana also smiled politely back. She usually didn''t talk much to
people.
Xavier just casually chatted with her some more, and left.
The director gave Mariana some advice on the job, which she quietly wrote down in her notebook, and
then went to the set''s dressing room with her crew.
-Wow, Mari, Xavier is so handsome!
-He''s even more beautiful than a woman. Gee, I''m embarrassed when he looks at me.
When Ana entered the locker room, she went back to being a nymphomaniac and kept talking about
Xavier''s handsome face with Mariana.
But Mariana did not feel like thinking about these things.

The main protagonist of the film turned out to be Andrea Solis, which gave her a bit of difort.
She had angered Andrea with thest incident, what kind of conflict would there be afterwards on the
set?
-Miss Ortiz.
Hearing someone calling her name, Mariana hurried to regain her senses and was a little surprised to
see the person approaching her.
Speaking of the king of Rome, through the door he peeps.
Andrea was beautiful. Her ck hair fell over her shoulders, her big eyes were very soulful and her lips
were tender and seductive.
But it was this angelic face that made Mariana ufortable, but she still greeted him politely:
-Hello, Miss Solis.
"Why did youe all of a sudden? How do you want to make a fool of me this time? Cut out my
design drawings? Or push me down the stairs?"
Countless thoughts were going through Mariana''s mind, while what Andrea said left her perplexed.
-Miss Ortiz, thank you for the clothes you prepared for mest time," Andrea said sincerely.
"Huh? What do you mean by those words?"
Mariana was very confused.
-Miss Solis, so you know the designer Mariana," the staff next door said.
-Yes, more than knowing each other, we are very close friends. Mariana is a very talented designer.
Andrea took Mariana''s hand and chatted with the crew members, doing nothing but bragging about
Mariana''s professional skills.
He looked at Andrea''s beautiful face, but his heart grew increasingly restless. e This didn''t seem
normal.
After a short chat, Andrea left and the team immediately approached Mariana.
-Mariana, you seem to have a very good rtionship with her.
-I''ve heard that she''s not very nice and that she has a lot of demands, but you two have such a good
rtionship that it seems that our work will be easier in the future.
-Well, it seems that he is not such a demanding and fussy person.
Listening to their discussions, Mariana remained silent, because she really didn''t understand what
exactly Andrea wanted.
