Chapter 37: Rules of the game

The door opened slowly and Mariana did her best to calm down.

Then, she looked up to look at the person outside the door.

He was Leopoldo's assistant.

Obviously, sensing the strange emotions of the woman in the room, the assistant gave a professional

smile and walked quickly to the front of Mariana, presenting the thermos in her hand.

-This is the tonic soup that Mr. Duran asked me to bring to you. She has been overworked on the set

recently and is ill.

-Therefore, Mr. Durán specially commissioned the maid to simmer the soup for the lady, which is very

nourishing. You should drink it to get better soon.

The assistant spoke quickly, as if afraid of being interrupted.

Hearing these words, Mariana was a little taken aback, her eyes full of surprise and joy. And then her

clear cheeks that became flushed with shyness.

He glanced slightly down at the black thermos his assistant was opening, and his heart seemed to start

beating violently again.

It was the nourishing soup Leopoldo had prepared for her.

-Do you know that I am sick?

Mariana took the tonic soup from the assistant's hand, stirred it gently with a spoon and casually

repeated the question.

-Mr. Durán is actually very worried about you," the assistant answered seriously.

The tonic soup had a bright color, with a slight layer of fat floating on top, but it didn't seem very greasy,

but rather appetizing. Mariana picked up the spoon and took a few sips. It was delicious.

It was chicken soup with mushrooms.

After finishing the soup, Mariana felt a warm sensation in her stomach and her mood improved a little.

A happy smile that had been missing for a long time appeared naturally at the corners of her mouth. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He handed the thermos back to the assistant with a slight smile on his face.

-Please thank him for me.

-Of course," after saying this, the assistant turned and left with the thermos.

Sitting in a daze, with the taste of the soup she had just eaten slowly spreading through her mouth,

Mariana smiled happily.

In the afternoon, due to the arrival of the chief, the crew finished their work early and went to a meeting.

The attendant had set up a private room and everyone was seated at the table upon arrival.

Naturally, Andrea sat down next to Leopoldo. Mariana glanced at him, then faintly withdrew her gaze

and sat a little away from the two of them.

As soon as he sat down, Ana sat in the chair on his left, while the one who sat on his right was

unexpectedly Xavier.

He smiled a sweet and kind smile.

Mariana only gave him a glance, then lowered her head and stopped looking at him, as if deliberately

avoiding his eyes.

Such an action caused Xavier to chuckle playfully, and his low chuckle rang deep in his ears.

After a while, everyone was almost full, but it was still early, so Andrea proposed a game, and Leopoldo

didn't say anything, so naturally everyone accepted.

Ana whispered in Mariana's ear and moaned softly:

-Look, she must want to take advantage of the game to have something with Mr. Durán! She really

thinks everyone is stupid like her.

Shaking her head helplessly, Mariana reached out and gently pinched her friend's palm:

-Don't say too much in front of so many people.

But she was still a little uneasy in her heart.

-Since everyone is fine with it, then I'll tell you the rules of the game now," Andrea stood up quietly and

gave Leopoldo a delicate smile before speaking.

-Let's go, let's go!

Hearing this, Andrea first glanced at Leopoldo, then looked at the crowd, blinking playfully saying:

-Here is a poker deck, I will draw the same number of cards as the number of people present. Among

the cards there is a king, and the person who draws the king will stand up and say what he wants the

participants to do, then he will call out two cards at random. And the people who have these two cards

will have to stand up and complete the task meticulously!

When she finished speaking, the crowd became very excited, looking at the poker cards in Andrea's

hands. Everyone was showing great interest in this game.

-Well, now I've pulled the cards, which turns out to be the total number of people in the room.

The poker placed in Andrea's hand had obviously thinned a bit, and with her long, slender fingers,

Andrea casually held the black cards, creating a strong contrast that made her fair skin stand out.

Andrea then dealt everyone in the room a card.

Each held a poker card in their hand, and everyone moved around looking at each person,

unconsciously turning away when they were about to touch each other's gaze, creating a slightly

nervous atmosphere in the room.

Leopoldo cast his stern gaze towards a corner of the room where the woman was idly resting her chin

with her hand, rather lazily, apparently uninterested in this exciting game.

He had his head down, hiding all his emotions.

But the man standing next to her at the time surprised the woman by reaching out his arm and gently

bumping into her.

-What is your letter? -asked Xavier with great interest.

At the sight of this scene, a touch of fierceness flashed through Leopold's eyes, mixed with a touch of

jealousy.

He slowly raised the glass in front of him and swirled the red liquid for a moment before drinking it in

one gulp.

-Who has the King card?

-That, who has the King's letter? How come no one has said anything yet?

-Could it be Mr. Durán?

While the crowd was talking, Mariana looked at her number 4 card in her hand and felt a little bored. A

meeting like this really didn't suit her.

Finally, a girl timidly stood up, held up the poker card in her hand and showed it to the audience.

He was the king of poker cards.

The room, which had been somewhat noisy a moment ago, was silent in an instant. The girl cautiously

glanced towards the place where Andrea was standing, and found that Andrea was staring at her

viciously. Involuntarily she trembled slightly and tried to open her mouth several times before saying in

as soft a voice as possible:

-Then, let the person who gets the number 9 card and the person who gets the number 4 kiss each

other.

With these words, the girl sat back and breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had accomplished something

very difficult.

After looking fiercely at the girl with his head down, Andrea threw the letter of his that was in his hand

on the table and frowned a little annoyed.

That girl was his assistant.

He had planned for the girl to name Leopold and her directly, on the condition that the two kissed, but

to his surprise, the girl had erred in the instructions she had given him, making him miss this good

opportunity for nothing.

How could this not make Andrea angry!

He raised his eyes and looked at the audience, because he wanted to know who had ruined his plan!

When she heard "number 4," Mariana felt vaguely uneasy.

I didn't expect the condition to be kissing in front of everyone!

The first thing Mariana did was to look at the indifferent man, and she became very anxious.

-Which of you have the number 9 and the number 4?

-That's right, these two people who were drawn quickly introduce themselves, I still want to start the

next round as soon as possible!

-Kissing! Sounds exciting.

Hearing these excited voices, Mariana felt annoyed, but she picked up her letter on the table and got

up with some resistance.

He showed his letter to everyone and said in a weak voice.
