Chapter 53 The Director

The most famous director of Yeez Entertainment, Francis Jackson, was also invited to this banquet.Heactually had no interest in parties like this, so he usually refused dozens of invitations every year.

Instead of having those celebrities buttering him up, he would rather lock himself up in the studio andmodify script lines of the roles to make the show perfect.

Tonight, however, Francis made an exception and attended the banquet since he hit a bottleneck in hisstudy on the script of the Legend of Anne.He had been feeling frustrated and even a little dizzy fromworking for too long.

After all, he was stressing over the possibility that he might not perfectly present Mia's work in front ofthe camera.

Because of this, he decided to take a break and decompress at the banquet.

Although, if truth be told, he would actually much rather talk to Mia herself as soon as possible.

He knew that the only way he could get out of his current predicament was to discuss it with her.

After all, she was the author of the Legend of Anne.

Whenever Francis thought of her face, he still couldn't believe that the young girl with such abreathtakingly beautiful face was actually the mysterious writer he worshiped.

Even if she wasn't a writer, he reckoned her entire appearance could still bring her to rise to fame if sheentered the entertainment industry.

At the thought of this, Francis picked up a glass of champagne and idly scanned the banquet hall.

Then, his eyes suddenly opened wide.

Unexpectedly, he saw a familiar figure.It was as if the gods had answered his prayers.

Just when his desire to see Maria got so intense, she appeared before his eyes.It was really her.

Francis was so sure because Lyndsey was with her again.She was sitting next to Maria, looking at herwith such a flattering smile.

Of course, now that his wish was granted, he would grab it without hesitation.

Therefore, mustering his courage, Francis walked steadily towards Maria.

"Ahem!"

As soon as he approached the table, Francis coughed to get their attention.

Halting their conversation, the four men looked at Francis and easily recognized him.

After all, he often appeared on entertainment news being a famous veteran director.Not knowing whatFrancis’ intention was, they looked at each other.

Allen initially thought that Francis was here for either one of them.

On the other hand, Walt assumed that he might have wanted to talk to Lyndsey.

Finally, Stephen was sure that the director only wanted to become acquaintances with Anthony.

"Mr.Jackson, fancy meeting you here.What can I do for you?" Lyndsey asked, also guessing thatFrancis came to discuss something with her.

However, Francis ignored her.

Instead, his fervent stare was directed at Maria, as if he was ready to confess his love to her at anytime.

"Pardon my intrusion, but I have something important to tell you."

Francis was indeed a great director with a strong personality.He went straight to the point without evena shred of hesitation.

However, Allen, Walt, and Stephen didn't take it as a good sign.

In fact, they panicked and screamed in their minds.They glanced at Anthony first to see his reaction,before they worriedly turned their heads to Francis.

What was he thinking, speaking so seriously like this? Was he blatantly going to try and steal Maria? Ofcourse, it wouldn't sit well with Anthony.

They could just silently pray that he wouldn't be too brutal with Francis.

While they were still worried about Francis’ fate, Anthony spoke calmly.

"Director Francis Jackson, right? May I ask what your business with my fiancee is?"

The expression on Francis’ face didn't change much.

After all, he didn't care much about Maria's personal life, let alone her engagement.He just wanted totalk with her about the script of the Legend of Anne.

Out of politeness, he looked at Anthony and greeted, "You are Mia's fiance? Nice to meet you.But if Imay, I just have something important to discuss with her.I may need to steal some of her time."

Francis’ tone sounded a bit anxious but tough.It was as if he wouldn't take no for an answer.

But even so, Lyndsey could swear that this was already the most approachable tone that she everheard from Francis.

However, these people didn't know him as much as she did.She was worried that he might haveoffended a powerful man without realizing it.

Lyndsey also didn't know Anthony on a personal level, but she was a very smart woman to gauge whattype of person he was.

Judging from the attitude exhibited by Allen, Walt, and Stephen toward Anthony, this man, who wassitting in the wheelchair, was definitely not someone who should be provoked.

Anthony indeed had the capacity to make things difficult for Francis on the spot.

But while Lyndsey was also worried about what might happen to Francis, Anthony suddenly smiled.

Unexpectedly, it was as gentle as the spring breeze.

"My fiancee is an independent girl.You don't need to ask for my permission if you want to talk with herabout something.Besides, I trust her enough that I don't meddle with her affairs.I just support whatevershe does..."
