SWNOVELS Chapter 54
Chapter 54 Maria's New Job
Anthony seemed to be more polite than he was supposed to be.
As a result, even Francis thought that he was a nice young man.
Allen, Lyndsey, and the others also noticed what was going on.
They thought that Anthony was simply doting on Maria.
"This connection between Maria and Anthony is nothing but true love."
The other three men present had once again reached an agreement as if they could read each other's mind.
"Shall we go over there and have a word?" Maria asked when she caught sight of the excitement in Francis’ eyes.
After that, she stood up and both of them walked towards a quiet corner.
Maria didn't seem surprised.
After all, why else would Francis come to her if not for the script of the Legend of Anne?
"Hey! Hold on a second!"
It seemed that Walt had suddenly realized something.He pointed at Maria's back as she walked away.
"Is it me or did Mr.Jackson really just call Miss Jenkins 'Mia'? Did the rest of you hear the same thing I heard?"
Walt was a fan of films and television dramas.He would never miss an interesting episode or novel.
There was a bookshelf in his study specially arranged for the collection of Mia's works.
These included books, DVDs of films, derivative music works and TV series among others.
At the same time, something came to Stephen's mind as well.This made his countenance change.
"You've got to be joking right now! Is she really Mia? That means she is my father, mother, and pretty much every one of my
relatives’ idol!"
Mia's works appealed to a wide range of audiences.It didn't matter if it was in the hands of a man or woman.
Both the old and young could relate to it.
Allen's face flushed with excitement.He was a big fan of hers.But not once did it cross his mind that his idol would be his best
friend's fiancee.
In the face of the questioning eyes of the crowd, Anthony remained calm.
Of course he knew who Mia was.
What he didn't know was that she was the same person as Maria.
Anthony was surprised.But he maintained his calm disposition as if he had known it all along.He said casually, "Writing is just her
side line."
This was something he was absolutely sure about.
When the others saw how calm Anthony was, they admired Maria even more.
They thought that the story between Maria and Anthony was very similar to that of Cinderella and the prince.Be that as it may,
none of them ever imagined that she was a big shot as well.
This shocked them and made them admire Maria a lot.
Meanwhile, at the quiet corner of the banquet hall, Francis made a proposal.
"Mia, oh no, Miss Jenkins...Please, join the crew of the Legend of Anne!"
"But acting isn't something I am really good at," Maria replied in a soft tone.
Francis nodded his head slightly.
"I figured you'd say that.How about I invite you to another position? You could be the chief scriptwriter, the supervisor, the
assistant director, or the art director.Choose the most convenient one for you."
Obviously, he was being generous.
These posts were either second to that of the chief director or they were even on an equal footing with it.If Maria took any of
them, she would be able to weaken Francis’ voice.But he didn't care about that.
All he wanted was for her to join the crew.
Maria was silent and hesitant.
This made Francis quite anxious.He suspected that she just didn't feel his sincerity.
As a result, he decided to put in some more effort to persuade her.
"How about you being the chief director while I become the executive director? That way, I can assist you."
Just when Maria made up her mind, his words came to her as a complete shock.
Did he say ‘the chief director’? Immediately after that, she shook her head and gave him an emphatic reply.
"No! That won't be necessary."
There were a lot of things waiting for her to deal with in Sheffield.She couldn't afford to be distracted from her own affairs in order
to spend so much time as a member of a crew.
As the author of the Legend of Anne, it wasn't out of place for her to take a sinecure in the crew and occasionally answer the
main staff's questions about the script.
Maria remembered that there was a vacant but important position in the crew that was enough to meet her needs.
"You know what, Mr.Jackson? I just want to be a script supervisor."
She looked at him.
Francis was stunned.He almost thought he had misheard.
"Script supervisor?" His repeated after her in confusion.
This was because the script supervisor was the assistant of the chief director.
The more capable a director was, the less help he needed from the script supervisor.
Most experienced directors didn't even need one.
For example, Francis had never asked Yeez Entertainment to provide him with a script supervisor for several years.
This was because of his strong working ability and vigorous energy.
