Chapter 234: Well Done


    Chapter 234: Well Done


    Trembling in her heart, Mariana slowly lowered her head and put the manuscript on her chest. But this


    feeling could not be clearly exined and grew wildly without a source.


    However, she also felt a little helpless. That person could always influence her emotions very


    sessfully, and she could only bear it passively.


    Mariana pressed the elevator and waited quietly at the door.


    At that moment, a strange feeling appeared in her heart, and she suddenly felt a little uneasy. She


    couldn''t help but sigh and smooth out the hem of her skirt and the hair that had just been messed up by


    the friction. Also, she hid the confused thoughts deep in her heart.


    Soon the elevator arrived and slowly opened its doors.


    Just as he wanted to lift his foot, he saw Anaing out of the elevator,


    -Ana?


    After a pause, Ana looked up and saw Mariana. She took her hand and the excitement in her eyes


    dissipated a little,


    -Mari! It''s almost time for you to give your speech on stage and you''re still here," he paused. What


    happened?


    -I havee to... get the speech, it will be usefulter.


    Mariana raised her hand, held up the A4 paper and waved it gently to indicate this, smiling coldly.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    Ana pouted and looked a little helpless.


    -So, can we go? There''s only an hour left and you still have to remember....


    -Well, the time is near, let''s go.


    Mariana nodded slightly and raised her hand to press the elevator button again and stop the door that


    was about to close.


    -Yes.


    The two arrived at the hall, and their delicate and elegant appearance immediately attracted the gaze


    of many people, who turned their heads to look at them.


    On stage, the end of thest speech was in progress, and they found a ce where they would not


    attract too much attention and sat down. Mariana looked carefully at the speech in her hand, while Ana


    watched the slightly unfamiliar faces around her.


    -Mari, where is Mr. Durán?


    Ana raised her hand and touched the arm of the person next to her. Mariana was trying to memorize


    the script, and looked up a little dazed by her blow.


    -I don''t know...


    Before the words were out of her mouth, she was stunned.


    The man wore a well-fitting ck suit, his body was full of wariness and nobility. He entered the room


    step by step with an icy aura like that of a god, attracting the attention of those present as soon as he


    appeared.


    Each step was like stepping on Mariana''s heart, making her lose her concentration. Her eyes followed


    his figure closely, somewhat dazed.


    Ana knew the general thoughts in her mind as she saw her appearance, she reached out and nudged


    Mariana''s hand again, urging.


    -Don''t look, there''s almost no time, there''s still half an hour left.


    Immediately her thoughts returned, Mariana hid the inexplicable expression in her eyes and then


    lowered her head to concentrate on the content of the speech.


    Soon it was Mariana''s turn to deliver her speech. When the speaker on stage finished hisst speech,


    he left the stage and the presenter began to read the transition words.


    After folding the script in her hand and cing it in Ana''s, Mariana straightened her outfit and stood up.


    She walked slowly toward the stage, her skirt cutting graceful arcs between her movements.


    First she greeted with a slight smile on her lips. Mariana''s eyes were clear, making people feel that she


    was gentle.


    Below the stage, Leopoldo watched the stage in silence. Observing Mariana''s calm and confident


    posture, the corners of her mouth emitted a delicate curve, and her heart moved slightly.


    Not far away, Diana''s eyes followed Leopold, and when she saw the slightest hint of softness in his


    eyes, she became disgusted. Her eyes filled with resentment and jealousy, and she clutched her


    delicate skirt so tightly that her original appearance could no longer be identified.


    He raised his head and looked at the confident Mariana on the stage. A trace of cruelty shone in her


    eyes, her heart instantly filled with disgust and hatred, but her face still had a calm look, so that people


    could not read her mind.


    He came up with a malicious n.


    Since she had not drunk water for several hours, Mariana was a little thirsty at this point, but she still


    resisted the desire to drink water and insisted on reading thest sentence.


    He bowed slightly toward the stage, with reserved and elegant movements.


    Before stepping off the stage, he nced at the audience, and when he met a familiar gaze, he paused


    his gaze, smiled slightly, and then walked confidently into the crowd.


    -Well done! -Anna greeted her and gave her the juice in her hand -After talking for so long, you must be


    thirsty,e here and drink it.


    He raised his hand and took a sip, Mariana felt her thirst ease, then her eyes sparkled slightly and she


    spoke lightly.


    -Diana is still here.


    Ana also took two sips of red wine and said: "I have seen her. She has been looking at Se?or Durán.


    She was a bit dismissive, but her tone was animated.


    Turning her head slightly, Mariana couldn''t help but look at Diana.


    -You still have to be careful about him giving you bad ideas, though," Anna followed his line of vision


    and sighed. Jealousy makes a woman not a woman.


    Mariana couldn''t help butugh at his words, but she was a little surprised, how could Diana be jealous


    of her?


    His breath caught and he almost spat out the juice in one gulp. But he realized that the present


    asion could not be so indecent, and he held backughter, saying, -Ana, howe I didn''t know


    you were so perceptive?


    She stirred the little juice left in her ss and said, "I''ll be more careful, don''t worry.


    Ana nodded her head.


    -Good.


    Mariana then continued to sip the juice slowly.


    At that moment, Xavier approached and took the initiative to touch Mariana''s ss, with a flirtatious


    smile on his face,


    -Well, that wasn''t bad. You did really well," he looked her up and down again and said with a smile. The


    makeup is also exquisite, and it matches the dress.


    Hearing this, Ana was a little confused. She had thought the dress was the one she had given Mariana,


    so she pretended to mention it casually.


    -Didn''t you give this dress to Mari?


    Xavier raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke in a soft voice.


    -What? My staff told me that Mariana had already put on her dress and didn''t need it, what''s wrong?


    Hearing these words, Mariana realized that the dress she was wearing was not the one Xavier had


    sent her, so who could it be?


    Thinking about Diana''s imperative attitude toward the dress and her rtionship with Leopold, he had a


    suspicion. Although she knew it was unlikely, she still wanted to find out, even if the oue could not


    satisfy her.


    As it gotte, the party soon came to an end and everyone wandered away.


    Mariana returned home and closed the door before turning on the light. In the darkness she saw a


    flicker of light in the bedroom. She turned on the light, changed her shoes and walked softly, leaning


    against the door to listen for the sound of the paper turning the page inside.


    He knocked on the door twice, and soon heard a rustle of cloth and footsteps approaching.


    The door opened to reveal Leopold''s handsome, expressionless face.


    His hair was slightly damp, he was wrapped in a bathrobe and the warm light behind him enveloped


    him, making him seem to emit a glow behind him. I was so close to him that I could even make out the


    fine, soft fuzz on his face.


    She was a little shy. Her pretty face flushed and she murmured; -The dress.... Did you send it to me?
