Chapter 253: Some Were Happy And Some Were Sad
Chapter 253: Some were happy and some were sad
Leopoldo's cold eyes swept faintly over Ana, and he said in an icy voice:
-Well, this matter ends here. I believe Diana has done nothing wrong.
This sentence had put an end to the matter.
Nuria, who was about to go out and accuse Diana of having ruined Mariana's design, stopped short. Although Mariana's injury was obvious proof, Leopoldo still believed Diana's lies, so her speculation without proof was no longer meaningful.
At this point, Nuria couldn't help but feel sympathy for the woman in the room, who had probably heard all the discussions outside.
How ironic!
Then, Leopoldo looked at the woman in front of him and spoke in a low voice:
-She's still a little under the weather, so don't bother her.
Diana nodded tearfully and gave the matter no further thought.
Diana looked slyly at Nuria and Ana, and aggressively grabbed Leopoldo's lapel and spoke softly:
-Leo, can you stay with me today? What happened earlier on the stage scared me, and I still feel very panicky.
Leopoldo turned his head and looked at the closed door behind him, then his eyes returned to the pitiful woman. After a while, Leopoldo ignored the emotions he had felt earlier, nodded his head and agreed. At that, Diana's face filled with joy, she stepped forward and hugged Leopoldo, losing her usual reserved look.
-Leo, you are so good to me!
Only when the voices outside faded away did Mariana close her eyes, trying to push away the tears that had just welled up in her eyes.
The joy of knowing she had won first place in the contest was gone, and Mariana's face was pale and the slight warmth the man had just given her was as fleeting as a firework.
Suddenly, the door opened and Mariana turned to the side looking in, she didn't want anyone to see her face at that moment.
Mariana's brow furrowed slightly at the pain in her chest, she couldn't stand it, but she did try to endure it.
Nuria and Ana entered carefully and approached Mariana's bedside, glanced at the woman's back, looked at each other and sighed, then shook their heads helplessly and left without saying anything. When the room fell silent again, the woman who had just been silent and motionless suddenly trembled, and stifled a slight sob.
Mariana had been discharged from the hospital when the pain in her chest had improved because she had to present herself in the program, and now that she had entered the contest, she had to take it seriously.
The first episode of Super Design was very well received, everyone was talking about the show, and naturally the buzz led to increased ratings and even the designers having their own fan club. Mariana became the program's first number one and her fans grew spectacularly, to the point of being comparable to Diana's.
No one expected such a situation, but some were happy and some were not.
When Lidia saw Diana's commercial value index during this period, she couldn't help but shake her head. Although she was best known for her participation in the program, she could not fully display Diana's characteristics and qualities.
Picking up the tablet next to Diana, Lidia frowned and spoke.
-Diana, I have some good scripts lately, you should go act, let's not participate in this program.
Although it would allow more people to get to know Diana, it wouldn't do her any good.
In addition, several young actresses were trying to get over it these days, and if they weren't careful, they feared something would go wrong.
Diana's eyes flashed with contempt as she shook her head.
-I'm not interested in this program either, but I can't watch Mariana become the winner. I promise you that when Mariana is eliminated, I will leave.
With a deep sigh, Lidia looked at Diana, truly puzzled.
-Diana, we're in the entertainment world, she's a designer and doesn't really have much to do with us. Why do you keep holding on to her? What is it about her that attracts you?
With a cold glint in her eye, Diana's smile was contemptuous and mocking as she snorted, -I'm holding on to her? She's the one who won't leave me alone!
"If Mariana can leave Leopoldo, then naturally I can leave her alone!"
-Well, let's leave it at that. Lidia, if you're here to convince me, you might as well go negotiate an advertising contract for me, after all, that's more important for my commercial value, isn't it?
After saying that, without paying any more attention to Lidia, Diana got up and left with her bag.
Seeing the woman's slender back disappear behind the door, Lidia shrank back. Lately she felt a little uneasy, as if something was about to happen.
On the other hand, after the broadcast of the first episode of Super Diseño, Mariana was invited by many radio stations and variety shows to share some inspiring things about her career or interesting things about the filming of the show, but all of them were rejected by Mariana under the pretext of being sick.
She was not interested in the entertainment world, she just wanted to be a simple designer.
Soon it was time for the second recording.
This time, instead of continuing with the live broadcast, the program was recorded in the usual way.
However, from the second edition onwards, new designers would join the program, and whoever was in last place would be eliminated. In fact, it was a very innovative contest, simpler than an audition, and it was more tense and exciting, since the designers who participated in the recording were very talented.
