Chapter 254: Telling it without reservation
Mariana stood in front of the mirror and gently pulled back the collar of her shirt to see the conspicuous bruise on her chest, which still hurt.
Pulling up the collar of her shirt with some helplessness, Mariana quickly gathered her things before grabbing her purse and heading out the door, getting into Nuria's car. Nuria handed Mariana a document and said with a smile:
-This is the contest process for the recording of the variety show later, read it so you can prepare yourself.
Picking it up, Mariana sat in the passenger seat and read it carefully.
Looking at Mariana next to her, Nuria pursed her lips, she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.
After all, it was Mariana's competition.
The two arrived at the filming location and headed to the room set up by the program team, but then they passed by Maria Lis' room and Mariana couldn't help but stop.
Nuria, who was next to Mariana, noticing Mariana's abnormality, stopped her step and spoke softly:
-What is it, Mariana?
The scene of the first recording came to Mariana's mind and she told him:
-Nuria, you go first, I'll go say hello to Maria.
Looking at her name tag, Nuria nodded and left first.
Maria took a deep breath, smiled and knocked softly on the door.
A crisp response was soon heard.
-Please come in.
Lowering her head, Mariana straightened her clothes a bit before opening the door and entering.
-Hi, I'm Mariana.
Mariana walked slowly toward Maria.
At that moment, the woman of elegant bearing was seated at a dressing table, with a hairdresser working on her, and she had a dignified appearance and refined posture, but with a distinctive air that made he feel respectful and at the same time very friendly.
At the sound of his voice, Maria turned her head to Mariana and smiled.
-Hello.
And there were no more words.
During this period there were always some designers who would come to her for advice and she would patiently respond. It was a healthy discussion about design, which could contribute to the development of the industry, and she was naturally very happy that people had such positive thoughts and wanted to acquire more knowledge.
Looking at the elegant woman, Mariana pursed her lips and said softly:
-Maria, thank you for your help.
In fact, it was clear to Mariana that, during the first recording, if it were not for Maria's help, she feared she would not have had the opportunity to prove herself once again at that moment.
With a twinkle in her eye, Maria watched the girl who stared at her full of determination.
She didn't expect Mariana to come and thank her, and she couldn't help but smile and nod.
-You are very considerate.
After a pause, Maria turned her head and continued to look at herself in the mirror, but her eyes fell on the Chinese dress she was wearing.
-You don't have to thank me, someone asked me to take care of you.
Moreover, from the beginning he had no intention of helping her, he just wanted to stand by and watch indifferently, but in the end, he told the program team to give her another chance, and from the beginning to the end, it didn't do him much good.
Hearing this, Mariana was stunned for a moment.
"Had someone asked Mary to take care of me?"
-I don't think I will be able to meet your friend, so I hope you will remind me of her.
His words were humble and fell loudly on Mary's ears.
His inquisitive eyes lingered for a long time on Mariana, as if discerning the truth of her words.
Finally, with a soft sigh, she motioned to the staff member who was fixing her hair to stop, before looking at Mariana beside her and shaking her head helplessly.
-You're looking a lot like her, no wonder she likes you so much.
When Maria said this, Mariana became even more curious.
Actually, she always worked in her own design field and had never met anyone at a high level, she only knew the director of the Daffodil Company, but she had already helped her. Puzzled, Mariana turned her head to look at Maria, her eyes full of doubt, and finally shook her head.
-I'm sorry, I really don't know.
With a sigh, Maria was slightly amused.
-She is very extravagant, she would be in a bad mood if she knew you didn't know her even though she is helping you," he said smiling. Well, she is Mrs. Perez, she knows that I am the judge of this contest and that you are a contestant. She invited me to dinner and asked me to take care of you, but you are so excellent that you don't need my care to achieve good results, so now she must be calm. Mariana was surprised, she had not expected something like this.
She and Mrs. Perez had only met once, so she didn't expect him to quietly help her because he liked her.
-Well, you've got your answer, go back and prepare well. It's not too late to thank him when you win in Super Design.
It was a joke, but at the same time she meant it. Maria looked at the girl and just felt that she was a wonderful age, as if there were a million possibilities and that the future of design belonged to young people like her.
Maria thanked him one more time before leaving, and didn't even notice the man standing in the corner with his camera capturing it all.
Once back in her room, Mariana's mind was still a bit agitated. She should also thank Leopoldo, the reason why Mrs. Perez liked her was because she was Leopoldo's mother.
Thinking about that cold man, Mariana became a little uneasy.
