    Chapter 271: Private Emotions


    Looking at Mariana, who was looking a bit ill at ease, Nuria couldn''t help but open her mouth to ask:


    -What''s the matter? Has something happened?


    Shaking her head with some difficulty, Mariana gave a slight smile and looked at Nuria, who seemed


    worried.


    -Nothing happened. I am already the champion of the first stage, who could do anything to me?


    However, such words did not make Nuriaugh, but she looked at Mariana, who was forcing a smile in


    front of her, and became even more worried. Finally, she pursed her lips and asked nothing more.


    Her eyes darkened, Mariana turned to the table and looked at the materials prepared by the program


    team in front of her, her heart sank deeply, but she still said softly:


    -Nuria, do you know who my opponent is this time?


    Puzzled, Nuria shook her head, looking at Mariana with some uncertainty.


    Because this time thepetition was allowed to have the help of assistants, in the previous session


    of choosing their opponents each one put their assistants inside the room and they were not allowed to


    -It''s Elisa, she chose me.


    With a huge tremor in her eyes, Nuria furrowed her eyebrows fiercely and looked at Mariana with some


    surprise, and in the next instant she couldn''t help but feel a little angry.


    It would be very unprofessional to bring personal feelings into such apetition, and Nuria did not


    expect Elisa to do something like that. Although she had left the moradpany, her performance


    in thepany for so many years was still evident to everyone, but she never thought that meeting her


    again would be so embarrassing.


    -Mariana, what are you thinking?


    Her eyes twitched fiercely with indescribable meaning, the corners of Mariana''s mouth hitched into a


    slight smile, she turned her head to look at the surrounding cameras, slowly moved to Nuria''s side, and


    removed the two microphones with her hand and set them aside.


    -You should have seen what Elisa did when she first came on stage, at that moment I thought she was


    presenting herself to me in such a wild way because I thought I wouldn''t dare to denounce those


    stories about her discrediting thepany, but I''m not afraid.


    With a tremor in her heart, Nuria had already understood Mariana''s words.


    I wanted to bring to light the reasons for how Elisa left thepany, and when the news became


    public, perhaps Elisa would not even be able to survive in the design world, let alone in a contest like


    this, and in the end, she could only withdraw from the contest to appease the anger of the public and


    the program.


    However, Nuria looked soberly at Mariana, sighed and spoke softly.


    -What about you? Do you still want to do this?


    Mariana slowly shook her head. Her eyes darkened and a slightly cold feeling crossed her heart.


    -But now I don''t think so. If I rely on that kind of tactic, I can effectively have him withdraw from the


    contest altogether and disappear from my sight, but that would have been far less exciting than the fact


    that I beat him in the design area, which was what he was most proud of and cared about, wouldn''t it?


    If I couldn''t get him to surrender once, I would do it twice.


    Looking at the cold Mariana, Nuria could not help but emit a small smile.


    This was the Mariana she knew, with a bit of stubbornness, with her own professional ethics, treating


    all her work very seriously, and she was also very kind.


    -This time, I will apany you.


    With her eyes falling slightly on Nuria, Mariana''s eyes sparkled.


    Mariana extended her hand in front of Nuria, and then, the two shook hands.


    The two quickly adjusted and began to engage in a new round of intense and exciting designs. The


    theme Mariana was drawing this time was "naivety".


    It was a very broad word, as if it could be used to fill in the whole world and make it shine.


    With a slight twinkle in her eye, Mariana already had an idea and, after a brief exchange with Nuria,


    she began to put the idea into practice.


    Naturally, each group worked painstakingly on their designs, as they all wanted to prove themselves


    once again and make it to the top.


    In the office of the president of Grupo Durán.


    The man''s cold, stern, tall back stood sullenly in front of the window, allowing the sunlight from outside


    to fall unobstructed on his body, casting a long shadow.


    The assistant was standing behind Leopoldo, holding a folder in his hand and reading today''s itinerary.


    When he finished reading, the assistant did not wait for an answer from his boss and, with a little


    confusion in his eyes, he raised his head, looked at the man''s broad back and spoke in a low voice.


    -Mr. Durán?


    The words fell on his ears before Leopold came to, and the light in his eyes dimmed.


    -I know.


    At the nod, the assistant''s mind still harbored a glimmer of doubt about his boss''s condition, but he


    asked no further questions.


    -If there is nothing else, then I will leave you alone.


    With that, the assistant was about to turn and walk away.

    However, in the next second, he was called back by the cold words that sounded behind him.


    -What is the status of the program?


    His eyes trembled slightly, the assistant frowned with some impatience, and his heart clenched a little,


    he hesitated a moment, but did not respond immediately.


    His boss''s question was so ambiguous that the assistant didn''t know for a moment who to talk about,


    after all, both Diana and Mariana were in Super Design.


    After a pause, he felt the air pressure around him gradually decrease, and he found it a little difficult to


    breathe.


    Cold sweat seeped silently and quickly covered his forehead thickly, the assistant could not help but


    swallow, closed his eyes, and then said in a trembling voice.


    -Miss Diana is doing well in the program, the previous news has been rified, and she received praise


    for her professionalism. On the scene, the program team took good care of Miss Diana. Nothing special


    happened, and the injury also healed very quickly.


    The assistant had followed the variety show closely since the first edition, after the two women


    associated with his boss were on it.


    With a deep frown, Leopold looked coldly at the man before him with displeasure, and for a moment,


    the air in the office seemed to freeze again.


    -What else?


    The icy words burst from between her thin lips, reaching the attendant''s soft ears in a deep voice,


    making his body shudder.
