He even felt more ridiculous now that he had to Listen to the newbie explain the script to him.

“Wait a second. Today is not April Fool's day, is it?" Rooney asked Jay with some hope in his voice.

Jay didn't answer him though. Instead, he gave him a look that warned him to listen carefully.

Jay didn't want to risk disturbing the person who was about to speak. Maria crossed her Legs and rested her chin on one hand.

Then, she cleared her throat and started, "So, I'm going to start from the background of the novel..."

Claire felt Like she was in a dream.

Seated confidently in the director's seat, Maria spoke about the script expertly without even having the script in hand.

Did she memorize the whole script?

This scene made Claire to think that Maria must have been very good at reciting back in school.

However, she was shocked to Later find out that Maria not only knew the whole text, but understood it perfectly as well.

As Maria spoke, Claire felt like she was listening to Hemingway explaining the Old Man and the Sea.

In this moment, Maria sounded and looked like a bright professor from a famous school. She explained the script in a wonderful way and pointed out things none of them could have ever thought of before.

Claire was so mesmerized that she forgot to take notes.

When she finally got around to taking notes, it was too late and it frustrated her. It was as though the teacher had just filled the blackboard and immediately wiped it when she hadn't even gone halfway.

Almost everyone felt just as frustrated as Claire did when Maria suddenly stopped.

“Mr. Jackson,"

Maria called out.

“Yes, do you need something?"

Everyone was too shocked to notice how respectful Francis sounded at the moment.

In fact, even if they did, they would think that the respect he showed her was totally merited.

“I'm tired. I'd like to rest for a bit," Maria said, sounding tired indeed.

"Really? Tired so soon?" He had taken his medicine about an hour ago, and he felt much better. He wasn't even coughing anymore.

“Well, I've been talking for an hour. Besides, it looks like your cough is gone. You can take over now."

No!
