Maria looked at the director in confusion, not really knowing what was going on.

Hearing this, Francis could only sigh and pull a long face.

He had a reputation in the industry as a known veteran and a multi-awarded director. Now that he already swallowed his pride just to take the initiative to invite this girl to audition, why did she still try to act dumb?

"Fine. Yes, I am. Now, there's a dressing room right next door. There are a total of thirty-two sets of costumes for Anne. I want you to wear all of them and show me how they fit on you, okay?" With a solemn face, Francis added, “I know performing Anne's part means a lot of pressure Put your game face on later. Don't make the efforts of my other colleagues be in vain!"

In plays Like this, the first ones who could achieve great success were granted the lead parts.

Since the Legend of Anne had a wonderful script, major investment and a world-famous director, this was the perfect stepping stone for an aspiring actress to rise to fame.

Upon hearing his demands, Maria furrowed her brows and thought about it seriously. However, it turned out that she got it all wrong.

Obviously, she was being asked to do an audition, but she actually assumed that Francis wanted her to demonstrate how Anne's part should be portrayed. She supposed that since she was yet to hand over the entire script to him, he might be having a hard time visualizing each character's role. Therefore, Francis must be asking for her help to get some pointers.

Thinking that his request was necessary for the success of the show, Maria had a hard time refusing him.

“Alright. Let me change into the costumes first," Maria said calmly and innocently.

On the other hand, Lyndsey blinked her eyes repeatedly, noticing that Francis and Maria didn't realize that they had fallen into a big misunderstanding.

However, she didn't say anything to clear things up. After all, she imagined that things should get much more interesting this way.

This was such a rare opportunity. Maria herself would perform the heroine's part, wearing those enchanting costumes. How exciting this must be!

The crew of the show spent a fortune to meticulously design thirty-two sets of costumes for Anne's role. Once the actress who would play the character was finally selected, they would tailor them according to her actual build and figure.

It was said that the designs of these costumes were intricately based and patterned to the description of the heroine's clothes in the novel.

Therefore, Lyndsey could already imagine how stunning Maria would appear the moment she went on stage wearing them.

The more she thought about it, the giddier she became. She didn't care if this was a mere misunderstanding. The important thing was she could witness this breathtaking scene with her very own eyes.

Lyndsey was so fascinated with Maria to the point that she actually wanted to act as the main hero, Richard, and play as her lover.

“Please wait a moment. I'll be back soon." Maria left for the dressing room without any suspicions at all.

“Yes! Yes! Take your time. We'll be waiting for you!" Francis nodded eagerly, showing a very satisfied smile.

At the same time, he asked a professional female dresser to assist Maria. After all, those costumes were too complicated for someone who had not seen them before to wear them on their own.

However, when Maria saw the woman following her, she gently shook her head.

“It's okay. I'm familiar with those clothes, so I can put them on myself." Maria spoke steadily. There was no arrogance in her tone, but her confidence was genuine.

Overhearing this, Francis’ smile became bigger, crossing his arms over his chest.

He was right about this girl. Not only was her appearance perfect, but it seemed that she had also done some preparations for this audition.
