Chapter 168: Fighting over a woman

-They say you come from a rich family, but you have a great personality and so much talent that in the short time you have been here you have attracted Leopoldo, the president of Grupo Durán, one of the leading companies, and Xavier, the well-known actor, to fight over you.

Such a hype, at no cost, was almost a gift for no effort at all, and besides, as long as it could have anything to do with any of them, their popularity and recognition in the industry would increase enormously. The more he looked at her, the more Lidia felt satisfied with her, so much so that she wanted to kiss her.

-Diana, look, as the buzz continues to build, your search volume is skyrocketing. I never thought we could gather all this influence for nothing.

Hearing that, Diana looked at the very happy agent standing next to her and gave her a smile.

-The person in charge of the important project I negotiated for you has been hesitating, but I think it will work this time.

That said, Lidia ignored her and promptly left, ready to take advantage of the trend to grab more work for herself.

However, Diana, who had just worn a slight smile, couldn't help but frown.

The affair between Leopoldo and Xavier this time was not to be about her. Lidia didn't care about anything but her acting career, but she wasn't like that.

What kind of person could have caused this conflict between them?

A name came to his mind, but he didn't want to believe it anyway. She narrowed her eyes as complicated emotions continued to stir in her heart.

Mariana was drawing on her computer in the living room, while Ana, sitting next to her bored, picked up a fresh orange, quickly peeled the skin, then removed the white orange part and handed it to her. He then picked up another one and began to eat it while peeling it.

-Mari, there's been another big gossip on the internet lately! Do you want to know?

Mariana looked intently at the design on her computer, manipulated the mouse in her hand and asked:

-About what?

-Yesterday Leopoldo and Xavier got into a fight in the subway parking lot of some hospital! A journalist recorded it with a camera and posted it on the Internet. Now the Internet is flooded with tears from the millions of Señor Bolaño's fans, they are so heartbroken!

Mariana frowned and put down the mouse, asking with some trepidation:

-Subway parking?

Ana did not notice the strangeness in his tone and continued excitedly:

-Yes! And they talk about fighting over a woman! There was much speculation on the internet, and finally some blogger came up with the relationship picture that supposedly best fit the facts, which led to the identity of the protagonist being.... Diana!

With that, Ana couldn't help but chuckle and feel very sorry for herself.

-Why are you so angry? These two people have nothing to do with you.

Seeing his indignant expression, Mariana couldn't help but shake her head and smile.

However, his heart was pounding due to some suspicion, preventing him from calming down.

It was true that both Leopoldo and Xavier had gone to see her last night, and both had fought in the subway parking lot of some hospital....

He hastened to shake his head vigorously in order to get all these imaginations out of his head.

She chuckled to herself. "What am I thinking?"

After being quiet for a while, Ana put the last piece of orange in her mouth, glanced secretly at Mariana and said vaguely, pretending to be careless: -Mari, when you get out of the hospital, what about your job?

Her hand stopped moving again and Mariana frowned at the drawings on her computer, shadowing her expression.

She had quit her job for the baby and the wardrobe crew, but she hadn't expected that in the end, she wouldn't replace a new one and lose the baby too. Seeing her like this, Ana was a little worried. She approached her and comforted her:

-Mari, in that case, you'd better go back to the company. The CEO hasn't hired someone for your position. We all know what happened last time, now that the drama is over, it's no big deal for you to keep coming back to work!

Mariana had some hesitation, but finally, she shook her head. She smiled, and her face showed something serene and sentimental.

-Anita, I'm not going back to the company, resigning is resigning, I'm afraid of causing problems for the company and the director if I break my word like this. As for work, I will make plans when I get out of the hospital, you don't have to worry about me.

Reaching out to cover his hand and holding it firmly in her palm, Mariana smiled back at him, telling him to calm down.

She still had some confusion and didn't know what the future held, but life had to go on, and she had

get a job.

Seeing her like this, Ana did not dare to express her inner worries any more, she was afraid of upsetting her again. She couldn't help but sigh and also held Mariana's hand tightly.

In the office of the president of Grupo Durán.

Leopold frowned, looking solemnly at the tablet Lionel had handed him as his slender fingers glided across the screen. The gaudy headlines flashed in his eyes, making his aura turn a little cooler. -What is it about?

Tossing it onto the wooden table, he leaned back in his chair and looked annoyingly up at Lionel across from him, his insides burning with the anger that was slowly surging.

Lionel subconsciously shuddered and shook hands, cold sweat could not help but break out and covered his forehead in no time.

He felt unfortunate that every time something like this happened to his boss, he was the one getting the interrogation here!

With a deep breath to erase several thoughts, Lionel stepped forward and said in a soft voice:

-Your fight was caught on camera by a reporter and posted online. One blogger claimed that ... the conflict between you and Xavier was over a woman, and said it was .... Diana. After saying this, Lionel felt very uneasy, as if someone had grabbed him by the heart and prevented him from breathing.

Naturally, the boss didn't want to appear in the pages of this messy entertainment news.

-Someone block the news, besides, you investigate that website, I think it doesn't want to continue working.
