Chapter 337: Good Stuff


    Chapter 337: Good stuff


    Mariana looked out the window, the sun had unknowingly climbed higher and everything was golden.


    She got out of bed and set about preparing a simple lunch for an informal asion. After all, it was the


    weekend and there wasn''t much in the office he had to attend to.


    When she opened the fridge, there wasn''t much food left in the house, not even rice.


    Mariana smiled internally, there seemed to be too much going ontely, so much that she no longer


    had the means to take care of her own life.


    After nonchntly eating a few slices of bread, Mariana made a list of household items and food in the


    house to go shopping at the supermarket in the afternoon.


    There were too many things and she was a little worried that she wouldn''t be able to take them back,


    so she sent a message to Ana, wanting her to apany her.


    -I''m sorry Mari, I have something to attend to this afternoon and I won''t be able to apany you,"


    Ana sent an audio with regret.


    She had no choice but to go on her own with a sigh.


    At the supermarket, Mariana pushed her shopping cart, going through the different shelves of products


    by herself, and choosing what she needed.


    The good thing was that now she no longer had to think too much about the price and simply choose


    what suited her best, which saved her a lot of time.


    However, she dressed casually to go to the supermarket to buy arge number of items and still came


    under attack.


    A thin, middle-aged man stared at Mariana''s figure and made a silent signal to his aplice standing


    next to him.


    -This woman seems to have some money.


    The man smiled wickedly and stared at Mariana''s ass.


    -And good material.


    The two men leered at each other and quickly came up with a n.


    Mariana, unaware of the danger looming over her, pushed her shopping cart and then struggled to


    carry herrge bag to the parking lot after checking in.


    Good thing she hade by car, otherwise she wouldn''t have made it home.


    The parking lot is as quiet and dark as ever, except for the small led lights shing in the parking


    spaces.


    She carried her heavy bags, stopping every three steps and slowly making her way to her car.


    Somehow, at this point, there was a sudden flurry of footsteps behind her.


    If it were put to her in the usual way, Mariana wouldn''t pay attention at all, but today she kept looking


    back.


    The look made her heart pound.


    She saw two men she couldn''t quite make out their faces standing behind her, their eyes strangely


    looking back at her.


    -What''s wrong with you guys...?


    Mariana slowly put down therge bag in her hand and looked around in panic for her car.


    Intuition told her that these two men were up to no good.


    The skinny man looked at Mariana''s distrustful expression andughed heatedly.


    -Don''t be afraid beauty, it''s very hard to see you lift that big bag. We want to help you.


    This sentence let Mariana know immediately the purpose of the two men.


    At that moment, the parking lot was empty and there was no one to help her.


    -No need, thank you for your kindness, I can do it by myself.


    Mariana forced herself to remain calm as she mediated with the two men. Her brain was racing to find


    a way out.


    There were surveince cameras everywhere in this parking lot, but the people in the surveince room


    wouldn''t necessarily have seen her in danger in time, and they certainly wouldn''t have moved as


    quickly as the two men in front of her.


    "What should I do?"


    Mariana put things down in her hands and took a step back.


    -What do they want, would they let me go if I gave them money?


    Mariana nervously clenched the bag in her hand, and kept ncing in the direction of the parking lot


    entrance.


    As long as a car could get in now, there was a chance she could call for help.


    The two men approached Mariana step by step, and it was clear that their intentions were not limited to


    money.


    Their footsteps were getting closer and closer and Mariana''s heart was about to jump into her throat.


    At that moment, a strong light suddenly red up behind Mariana. The light shone so brightly that the


    two men could not open their eyes.


    Finally, a car pulled into the driveway.


    Without a second''s thought, Mariana turned around and ran in the direction of the traffic lights, stopping


    the oing car.


    The car braked toote and Mariana fell hard to the ground, cutting a piece of skin on her knee and


    twisting her ankle.


    The driver angrily got out of the car and headed towards Mariana, who didn''t care at all and looked


    back. The two men had already run off.


    Luckily, this driver was not a bad person and forgave her immediately after hearing her story, and even


    sent her to the hospital.


    Lying on a white hospital bed, Mariana was still in shock.


    Before her breathing calmed down, someone she wasn''t expecting entered the room.


    -Xavier? -Mariana saw him and froze, "Why are you here?


    A slight smile crossed the corner of Xavier''s mouth and he removed his sunsses, revealing a pair of


    beautiful eyes.


    -I came to see a friend at the hospital today and I happened to see you. I asked the doctor and came


    over.


    After saying that, Xavier looked worriedly at Mariana''s stered leg and sighed.


    -What happened to you? I haven''t seen you at the hospital very often.


    Mariana also smiled slightly and told Xavier what had happened in the parking lot.


    -How dangerous! -Xavier got angry when he heard that- -Where is Leopoldo, why isn''t he with you?


    Xavier knew her a little, and even if Mariana''s words were simple, he could imagine how critical the


    situation was at that moment.


    Hearing this question, Mariana wanted to say something, but suddenly did not know how to tell Xavier.


    -I forgot to tell him," Mariana hurried to change the subject. Go and get me a ss of water, I''m thirsty.


    Xavier wanted to say something annoyed, but stopped his mouth and got up to bring Mariana a cup of


    hot water.


    He blew gently on the water and handed it to Mariana.


    -By the way, have you eaten yet? - Xavier patted his thigh, "A very good, light and patient-friendly


    Cantonese restaurant has opened next door to the hospital.


    Before Mariana could refuse, Xavier picked up his sunsses and ran down the stairs in a ze of


    glory.


    When Xavier returned, Marianaughed bitterly at the sight of the pile of things in his hand.


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Xavier arranged all the things he bought on Mariana''s nightstand. In addition to the Cantonese food,


    there were all kinds of fruits, snacks, staples, and even arge bouquet of flowers.


    -There was no need to buy so much," Mariana said with a bitter smile. I can''t finish these fruits even if


    you buy them?


    -It''s okay, I''ll buy it back from you when the timees," Xavier interrupted her, opened the rice and


    nced at it, frowning. It looks a little cold, I''ll go heat it up for you.
