Tonight, however, Francis made an exception and attended the banquet since he hit a bottleneck in his study on the script of the Legend of Anne.

He had been feeling frustrated and even a little dizzy from working for too long. After all, he was stressing over the possibility that he might not perfectly present Mia's work in front of the 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 a breathtakingly 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 she entered 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 her with 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 what Francis' 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 that Francis 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 any time.

“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 even a shred of hesitation.
