Not only did the girl ignore her, she even had the audacity to walk into the CEO's office without permission. As pretty as she was, Lyndsey thought she was a Little rude.

She was about to tell Maria off when her eyes suddenly fell on the document in her hand. It took a second before her mind processed what was written on the cover.

"W-wait... What?!"

Finally, Lyndsey realized what was happening. She quickly turned around only to find Maria already sitting on Jeremy's chair.

At the same time, he was making freshly ground coffee for her.

“Please excuse her, Mia. Lyndsey can be a little silly sometimes, but she's not so bad." Jeremy could only smile awkwardly, obviously feeling apologetic for how Lyndsey acted.

Today was their first meeting, yet Lyndsey had already shown her eccentricity to Maria. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed, not only for her but for himself as well.

“I know." Despite their chagrin, Maria was actually still pretty calm and unaffected.

After all, from her first short story, "The Mountains", to most of her other works for Yeez Entertainment, it was Lyndsey that was usually cast as the heroine.

Besides, if she had a terrible personality, Jeremy wouldn't be investing in her and trusting her so much.

“Ahhh! Y-you're... Mia?" No Longer able to contain her elation, Lyndsey screamed in amazement.

“Hello. Nice to meet you." Maria sounded so cool. “You can also call me by my real name, Maria."

Since Jeremy hadn't finished making the coffee, he stood at the side when Maria introduced herself to Lyndsey. However, he didn't expect that she would actually mention something about herself that personal, so he discreetly wiped the bead of sweat off his temple.

When she spoke just now, Jeremy thought her aura was extremely overwhelming.

She just casually stated her real name, but there was something in her tone that issued a grave warning. Even without her saying anything, they easily understood that if they dared leak this secret to anyone, they would suffer dire consequences.

Slightly trembling, Jeremy turned to Lyndsey. Like him, she was also in a bit of a daze. Then, after a few moments, she couldn't help but act like a shy school girl.

The truth was that she was intimidated by Maria. Lyndsey was several years older, but this young girl was far more accomplished than her.

“Anyway, why do you want to see me? I understand that the script I sent over earlier is still incomplete. Did you have a problem understanding your role because of that?" Maria asked softly, wanting to address any issue right there and then.

Hearing this, Lyndsey blushed so hard, feeling very embarrassed.

She had always been a loyal fan of Mia, but she didn't expect that the person she was respecting and idolizing so much was actually just a teenage girl.

The novels Maria wrote had extraordinary momentum, far-reaching meaning, and brilliant foreshadowing. How could they be written by someone much younger than her?

As a fellow woman, she felt like a failure. Lyndsey couldn't help but look back at her life, questioning the choices and decisions she made in the past.

In the president's office, Maria began to walk them through the script.

She articulated the story clearly in an unhurried tone. Through her narration, every character in the script seemed to come alive, turning from words on a page to real people with flesh and blood.

When she finally finished her words, she grabbed the mug in front of her and took a sip of coffee. Only then did she notice that the usually stone-faced Lyndsey was dabbing at her tears with a tissue.
