Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45: It's Really You

-Good evening.

After returning from the tavern, Mariana had been in a trance. Too much had happened today, and she had also asked for leave and had not gone to the set afterwards. It was Lionel who had driven the two of them back home.

It was already late at night.

The man stood in the doorway, turned his head slightly to look at Mariana, his thin lips parted softly and he spoke in a light voice:

-Good evening.

Saying this, he entered his own room.

Mariana reached out to cover her throbbing breast.

Lying on the bed, Mariana looked at the ceiling and said quietly to herself.

-Mariana, happy birthday.

***

The next day, Mariana came to the set as usual, her face as nondescript as if nothing had ever happened.

-Look at her, what a scoundrel, acting as if nothing had happened, she even came to the set with a big swagger, shameless!

-Yes, if it weren't for Mr. Durán, I'm afraid the director would have had no choice but to fire her even if he liked her designs!

-This one has a good life! How come I can't receive attention from Mr. Durán.

One chatter after another rang in his ears, masking all kinds of emotions.

Mariana pretended she hadn't heard them and walked past the crowd, back to the wardrobe room. She had never thought she would become the center of attention since she arrived on the set. At the thought of this, Mariana couldn't help but laugh and shook her head helplessly.

Pulling out the designs she had not finished sifting yesterday, Mariana began a new day's work.

Since the last time he saw the climax of Xavier and Andrea's performance, the director continued filming the last episodes.

So the whole set was waiting for her to come up with a suitable costume. The pressure on her multiplied and the task became more difficult one by one.

But Mariana did not give up, every difficult step was a valuable experience, the challenge was a stepping stone.

"As long as hardship doesn't kill me, I will be stronger."

With this conviction, Mariana reviewed the canvases one by one, looked up some related films and then read the original novel and script from cover to cover. Only now did Mariana have more confidence in herself.

After adjusting her mind and sitting down at the computer, Mariana began to work on her drawings. It was then that a sharp knock sounded on the door from outside.

Without raising her head, Mariana screamed:

-Go ahead.

-Hello.

The husky voice contained a slight significant tone and said with a slight coquetry.

Mariana turned and saw Xavier leaning against the door, arms crossed, his beautiful eyes were striking.

-It's late at night. It's dark all around, but the lights are still on here, I thought you should be here.

Xavier took a step towards Mariana, and only when he was close did he smile and say:

-It's really you.

The words contained deep meaning.

-Why haven't you left yet?

Without raising her head, Mariana kept moving the mouse in her hand rapidly, and lines of various colors immediately appeared on the computer screen.
