Everyone knew what she was insinuating. She didn't recognize Maria's new identity as their director.

When Vivian heard those words, she was excited.

Who would dare go against Patricia, given her status in the entertainment circle?

But only a couple of seconds later, Vivian's good mood vanished into thin air.

“That won't be necessary. Miss Jenkins has been chosen as the acting chief director. With her here, the shooting will go smoothly,”

Jay replied calmly. But his words came as a complete shock to Patricia.

"Miss Jenkins? The acting chief director?"

Patricia couldn't believe it.

How could a country bumpkin like Maria get to be the director? However, Jay's tone was firm and supportive. He didn't seem to be joking.

What was going on?

Although Jay seemed like he was easy-going, Patricia, who had cooperated with him several times, knew that he was very proud.

Why did Jay want Maria to be the director?

What had Maria done to make Jay think highly of her in such a short time?

At this point, Patricia found that Maria was looking at her quietly with a pair of calm and sharp eyes.

Under Maria's direct gaze, Patricia felt like an animal in the zoo. She then had the feeling that she had just made a fool of herself.

“You... Why are you looking at me? "

Patricia was inexplicably flustered and took a step back subconsciously.

"You not only came late but also interrupted my speech. Get out of here!" Maria said furiously.

“What did you say? How dare you order me to leave? "

Patricia thought she had misheard the girl. How did Maria have such audacity to speak to her like that?
